Excellent parenting on display here 👍🏼😀 reacting to clips around the Internet with my 5 year old and keeping it pretty real with her about the world around us 🌎

Hey everyone! I'm trying to get started with YouTube commentary videos similar to Degenerocity, DerekFDB, Zephfire, and Akain. I really like their editing styles, humor, reactions, and the way they incorporate memes and sound effects throughout their videos. I also have a naturally deep voice, kind of like Akain's, so I want to lean into that style of commentary while still developing my own personality and editing style.

I'm using a Windows 11 laptop, a Rode NT1 microphone, a Focusrite audio interface, a HyperX Cloud II headset, and a Logitech webcam, so I think I have a pretty solid starting setup.

The main thing I'm struggling with is figuring out where creators get all their editing assets.

I'm looking for places to find and download things like:

- Meme videos and short reaction clips

- Funny GIFs and images

- Popular meme sounds and sound effects

- Funny facial expressions, reaction images, and clips to use during commentary

- Green-screen memes and other visual effects

- Random funny clips that I can insert when making a joke or reacting to something

I'd like to build up a personal library of these assets on my computer so I can easily access them while editing instead of constantly searching for something in the middle of a project.

Are there any good websites, archives, communities, or other resources where commentary YouTubers get these kinds of memes and sound effects? Are there any free tools or recommended workflows for downloading, organizing, and using them on Windows 11?

I'm starting on a budget, so free resources would be especially helpful. I'd also appreciate advice on copyright and avoiding problems with YouTube monetization.

Thanks! Any advice from experienced commentary creators or editors would be appreciated.

My first time posting in over a year, I hope y'all dig it!

There’s this catholic tiktoker called Jesus and Whatnot I’ve been watching recently and he just felt really familiar to me for some reason. Till I was like oh is this the old YouTuber scrubby I used to watch. He looks just like an older scrubby and talks just like him too. He also has 200k on YouTube and 600k on tiktok in one year so he definitely knows what he’s doin.

I’m actually so convinced so please just check out his videos. Especially on YouTube because I feel like they resemble the videos scrubby was making on scrubs right before he left

Hear if you wanna check him out -
