QAADIR F. HOWARD is one of Atlanta’s master “draggers” — i.e., he excels at taking people, places and things to task in front of a camera in the most hilarious ways. Click on over to his popular YouTube channel and check him ripping the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Donald Trump and even his co-workers, all served up utilizing his trademarked rapid-fire delivery style. His clips are straight-up confessional vlogs with minimal editing, but what they lack in bells and whistles, Howard makes up for in uncensored, no-holds-barred reading. Bottom line: Dude is a trip. www.youtube.com/user/Timaya. less...

A father-son passion project launched by television producer Benny Wonka and colleague James Few in 2012, the MAXIMUS THOR YouTube channel has more than 50,000 YouTube subscribers, and counting. The series of comedic shorts features Wonka, his real-life 11-year-old son Maximus Thor, and friends. Adults — typically Wonka’s entertainment industry colleagues — voice the series’ adolescent cast members. Packed with distorted sound effects, quick cuts, and off-the-cuff asides that border on subliminal, the show’s initial allure was rooted in the provocative juxtaposition of non-adults doing and saying some very adult things. But in October 2014, the team released a well-received PSA-style suicide prevention video. Now, in addition to releasing new comedy videos, the First Family peppers in new socially aware content. Keep an eye out for a video that addresses homelessness in the future. Bizarre, hilarious, and dripping with swagger, Maximus Thor has one mission: to spread love and laughter throughout Atlanta and beyond. www.youtube.com/user/JoinTeamOverlord. less...
