Oh man, on the topic of Every Frame a Painting, Lessons From the Screenplay is also really good.

Matthewmatosis does very good game design analysis.
Digital Foundry is known for their technical deep dives on what’s new, but they also do videos comparing ports of classic games.

Run Button is pretty good for let’s plays. Watch them play all the Sonic games. Austin Walker guests a few times I think (most recently a Witness spoilercast)

Yeah! Jon Bois is the best!
Errant Signal is very good for video game critique from a more thematic and mechanical perspective.
Mark Brown makes excellent videos on game design.
Shut Up and Sit Down is a great channel about BOARDGAMES!
(They also make a videogame channel called Cool Ghosts)

Campster’s Errant Signal game analysis show was more or less my gateway into thinking more critically about games. He also was named the Video Essayist of the Year by Critical Distance, another games writing site, so I’d recommend his stuff if you’re interested in thematic views on games.

Oh! kaptainkristian’s video essays on animation, film, sound, and music are very well polished, and a really good use of the video essay as a medium imo. His stuff is nice to look at and has good insight into a lot of different art forms and media platforms (for example, he has a video on the importance of Newgrounds in modern animation).
I would agree with all the ones mentioned but I would also add Nakey Jakey for video games. The application of man sitting on ball is well used throughout.
And Tim Rogers from Kotaku is great.

Girlfriend Reviews is a fun, positive channel.
Someone already mentioned Movies With Mikey, so I’ll mention Patrick (H) Willems. He’s probably best known for Shut Up About Plot Holes and Why Do Marvel’s Movies Look Kind of Ugly?
I don’t love horror, but for some reason I love videos about horror movies. Ryan Hollinger and PushingUpRoses are two very different favorites. Ryan does pretty standard but entertaining deep dives. PUR is more kitschy, with episodes on Murder She Wrote, Goosebumps, and old school point-and-click horror adventure games.
My favorite thing to put on when I’m trying to sleep is cutscene compilations, especially from MMOs. Gamer’s Little Playground is my go-to for literally hundreds of Full Game Movies.

HELLO
I AM TIM ROGERS
AND THIS
IS KOTAKU
DOT COM
I love how Tim has seemingly had some sort of football related fever dream, and now has to feature this football music in EVERY video since this one.
I wasn’t sure where else to put this but I know @ricotta is a Yu-Gi-Oh GX enthusiast

Haha, thank you! I love seeing the voice actors play the game, it’s so much fun. 
Also wow @ those Destiny Hero plays.
