Kenneth, AKA "Ken," is one of America’s funniest and most engaging YouTubers who live streams his games on Twitch on his channels, CinnamonToastKen and Toasty Games. Here we will look at his top 15 videos to watch, and maybe we will learn more about his gaming style.
CinnamonToastKen regularly vlogs; when he's not gaming, he reacts to videos on Reddit and TikTok, so let's take a deep dive into his YouTube videos today!
15. 90 Year Old Gamer Grandma Plays GTA
CTK discovers an intriguing video about a woman born in the 1930s who is a professional gamer! As far as most of us gamers are concerned, the older generation hasn’t been interested in games, but this is cool! How is that possible?
First, Ken starts to playfully poke fun at the idea of a grandma playing games, but we soon find out she’s not half bad! She plays GTA on PlayStation and keeps within her lane, but when it’s time to fight, this grandma is not afraid of her assault rifle and gets a few kills!
She has a vast collection of games from the 80s, making eerie retro gamers and collectors sweat! She says she’s played them all, especially the fun on her Nintendo - I can’t believe her collection!
Ken agrees that gaming should be about the level of fun the gamer has and that toxicity shouldn’t have a place in the gaming community. Healthy competition is normal, but it takes pleasure out of it when it gets abusive online.
We see the grandma playing a rare game that had just come out at the time, and Ken is very impressed that she knows about it and appears to be excellent at it too! So the next time you judge someone for their age, remember what this lady can do and that anyone can game professionally.
14. Handsome Ghost Hunters Spend Night In Haunted House
This video starts on a funny note, CinnamonToastKen is playing Phasmophobia with Pewdiepie, and Pewdie hides, scaring Ken right from the start, setting the scene perfectly.
Usually, during scary games, Ken keeps his cool, but this game gets to him as he and Pewdie walk through the house. Ken tries to find the ghost, but Pewdie takes photos of the ceiling; the game isn’t scary enough!
Ken always maintains a high level of humour and mocks the spirit, acting like a gangster until the phone rings, and he jumps a mile! I'm not sure which is funnier, the running commentary or Ken's reactions when he’s trying to act tough! Ken starts to hear voices but keeps his cool while the cupboard doors swing open, and they try to get the ghost's name.
After trying to provoke the ghost into attacking them, they eventually see the ghost moving into a closet. Freaked out, Ken runs for it, screaming!
This video is wholesome, comedic, and, pleasantly enough, appropriate for most ages. It’s about a YouTuber having fun with his friend in a scary game. Perfect for the lead-up to All Hallows Eve!
13. MY AWESOME SETUP (Recording & Streaming)
During this video, CinnamonToastKen shows off his PC gaming setup and gives some great advice to fans and viewers. He suggests ideas on what they would need to start being a professional gamer and YouTuber, which is helpful to those who want to get involved in the YouTube life.
For people just starting, he recommends that a $100 microphone is all you need, a decent computer with a decent amount of RAM, and a good core processor to handle any game you throw at it.
The soundproofing pads he uses only take the echo off when he records something, so "...it doesn’t sound like I’m in a tin can," as the great man says! Soundproofing may not be something we initially thought about when recording a video, but decent audio is vital for producing good-quality content.
Ken encourages the viewer that anyone can do what he does; you have to plan the setup and manage it well, and this video is full of valuable tips for starting your YouTube career!
12. Toxic Guys Hate Girl Gamers
Do you think girls can game as well as guys? Well, CinnamonToastKen chooses to talk about this topic on a serious note in a video where he reacts to a social experiment video where guys in a game store get challenged on this attitude.
CinnamonToastKen is joined by fellow YouTuber, BuffPro, to watch and react to this show. The video is a little cheesy, as the producers making the video use paid actors to say in public that ‘girls shouldn’t play video games to see the reaction of the public around them.
The number of people in the shop who stand up for this girl, who is acting as someone who plays games, is refreshing. Even other women and girls in the shop stand up to defend themselves, which is inspiring.
CinnamonToastKen agrees that girls can game just as well as boys; he is teaching his daughter to play, and his wife plays video games and is good at them. Even the people in the comments are passionate about this issue. Girls face much mocking and bullying online, which is not OK!
So, if you think that girls can’t be gamers, think again because most gamers out there disagree with you—there’s no more room for these outdated ideas!
11. Cringe Reality TV Makes Being A Gamer Embarrassing
There is nothing worse than cringy reality TV. This video opens up with a cringy reality TV show with real-life pro gamers showing off their gaming specialities in real life to see who is the ultimate gamer!
The idea might sound weird because specific life skills require a lot of practice, but this show tests to see whether games can prepare gamers to manage IRL! Ken starts his video with BuffPro. His great sense of humour shines through as each gamer is introduced on the show, with their specialities and what they do in their everyday lives.
We see considerable competitiveness when the contestants are placed into a house to live in. The guys don’t think the girls will be good because ‘they’re girls, and the girls are out to win the competition.
The first challenge is to play a real guitar and perform on stage to see whether being Rock Hero experts has helped them learn how to play the instruments. Once they’re ready to impress the audience, we find out that playing the instruments with just 24-hour notice isn’t as hard as we thought, but singing is the most challenging thing in a real band! If you got a voice, it’s easier, but these bands struggled with their vocalist!
Ken finds this hilarious and brings a lot of comedy to the video by poking fun at how ridiculous the idea of the show is because, after all, even if you’re a pro in CoD, it doesn’t mean you’re an expert sniper in real life!
You should watch this video if you’re feeling low or demotivated; it’ll perk you right up!
10. THIS GAME IS INSANE | PIMP SIMULATOR 2016
Another hilarious video is brought to us by CTK called Pimp Simulator, a basic line game where the player can be a pimp! There are many drug references, blood, and swearing, but this adds a humorous element to the video as it’s so far removed from reality that there’s no way to mistake it for real life! NOTE: This game is intended for adults only and is unsuitable for children.
GTA has more inappropriate references in its cut scenes than this Pimp Simulator, but it’s so funny and stupid that Ken nearly chokes from laughing! The ultimate goal is to become the ultimate pimp, and you have to do some pretty gross stuff to get there, but at least it’s a riot on the way!
This video is definitely worth a watch, purely for its comedic value!
9. Let's Learn About Transgender - Dys4ia
In the spirit of keeping up with current news, CinnamonToastKen plays the game Dys4ia, as it’s supposed to help educate the gamer on the issues of being transgender.
I think this is an excellent idea to bring to the public’s attention that there’s a game created that helps people see a small snippet of what goes on inside the mind of someone transgender.
Ken agrees that there needs to be better education on transgender issues, and maybe this is the right way to help people understand transgender issues so that it’s normalised.
So if you’re feeling discouraged about a personal issue, watch this video for inspiration. Or, even if you want to learn more about what it means to be trans, this selection might be good for you to watch!
8. Friday the 13th - HUNTING DOWN PEWDIEPIE - Friday the 13th Multiplayer Gameplay ft Pewds & Friends
Ken brings to our screens Friday the 13th and plays Jason, hunting down his fellow gamers as he streams. The running commentary he provides is witty, and he can show how to play this game successfully.
The aim of the game is: Don’t panic! It’s best to play with friends and Pewdiepie! Ken and his gang show you how to play games. Some gamers tend to take games to heart; any loss feels like a personal dig.
So, suppose you want to watch something funny and feel inspired to be a better gamer. In that case, this video is for you!
7. Top Scary and Funny Gaming Moments With CinnamonToastKen
Ken has created a compilation of scary games he’s streamed in the past, which is perfect for the upcoming Halloween season. He is genuinely freaked out in every single part of this compilation!
Throughout, he is playing Amnesia, a first-person horror game with zombies that screams Resident Evil vibes nearly as much as Ken is screaming with fear!
CTK plays these games in the dark. It makes a game experience ten times scarier. I wonder whether the fear is from the game or the environment. Try it in the dark and see how worse it is!
When the video finishes, we see a very scared CinnamonToastKen playing the guitar to soothe his nerves as his gaming character sits in a closet, hiding from the monster. Who knows, maybe that will help.
Take note, gamers; keep a guitar close at hand!
6. ROAST BATTLE PEWDIEPIE VS CINNAMONTOASTKEN | Oh Sir! Insult Simulator
Who would have thought there would be a game where you could insult people? CinnamonToastKen and Pewdiepie use it to generate insults so that they can use them as part of a "roast" battle, and they create their insults from a selection of phrases.
There’s a lot of swearing in this, so it's probably not appropriate for kids, but it is perfectly fine for adults! The roast ends up being so hilariously tame, so they come up with their roasts now and then, which are way more savage, of course!
CinnamonToastKen wins several rounds of the roast battle, leaving PewDiePie in the dirt. If you want to try this game, approach it with caution! But it looks worth playing; make sure you play it with a friend rather than an enemy!
5. WORST/BEST GAME EVER MADE? | Bad Steam Games - Reptilians Must Die!
CinnamonToastKen finds a rare game gem on Steam called Reptilians Must Die! A hilarious war simulator in which the bad guy is Vladimir Putin…
Ken has to save the earth from aliens, and we wonder whether this is the best or worst game ever made! The grammar and spelling in the speech bubbles are so bad it’s funny, and the graphics are a mix of kid's drawings, photoshopped images from real life, and platform pixelated quality.
Fans have commented that this game is a piece of art and strangely entertaining. It’s so weird, but the best thing about this game is going nitro in the car you drive to get to safety. As Ken plays, we see a political undertone talking about Osama Bin Laden and how much money he borrowed to make the aliens come to earth. The game is so hilariously bad it’s funny, so if you need cheering up, check out this video; it even has Chuck Norris!
4. AMONG US - With Friends - 200 IQ Impostor Plays
In 2020, the world was held hostage by the terrible global pandemic. Many people played the game Among Us, including CinnamonToastKen and his friends!
Ken is fantastic at being the imposter and managed to get through a play without any suspicion about him, which is a big-brain play right there! Fans said in the video's comments that he’s a ‘beast’ at this game when he’s an impostor; the proof is in the pudding!
Among Us is an excellent game to play and watch, and watching a bunch of famous YouTubers lose their minds over this simple game is fun. I would highly recommend this video for you to watch.
3. Whack Your Computer
Ken finds a game simulator where you can safely manage any spurts of anger you may have. He was in an office scenario where the manager gets increasingly annoyed with being disturbed until he breaks the computer.
The player can click on different items in the office for the manager to use so he can break the computer, and it’s amusing! Each scene is a dream, so the players can have a fresh set to click on each item to ‘whack’ the computer!
This is a series of games called Whack Your... and CinnamonToastKen thought this was funny, and his fans thought so, too, with over 2 million views!
2. Dental Surgery Operation Root Canal, Implant, Anesthesia
This video has over 16 million views, so it’s number two in this list of CinnamonToastKen’s top 15 best videos, as his fans love it!
The video shows Ken playing a game where he is a dentist, and it’s a realistic view of what a dentist does, just in a cartoony way, which is super engaging. The game has a timer, which adds a little stress to how quickly the player needs to complete the "work" as they follow instructions.
The game also has different variations about how you can play, as a specialist or an intern dentist, which is the "easy" or "hard" version of the same game.
While I have never seen anything quite like this game, it’s an exciting simulator that gets you thinking about different types of games, no matter how weird! It’s a fun, short video that is bound to keep you entertained, so give it a try!
1. I Fight Markiplier
CinnamonToastKen is a YouTuber with many talents. While his main channel is his most famous, he has a second channel called Toasty Games, which is incredibly popular within the gaming community. This video is his most popular video on that channel.
The video is about famous fictional characters fighting YouTubers, like CTK himself and PewDiePie! It is a hilarious combination of ridiculousness and WWE, as the characters all wrestle and even have sound effects.
The graphics are pretty good, as weird as the variety of wrestlers seems, it’s one of the funniest videos I have seen in a long time.
I recommend watching this video for a great end to your day!
