Linda Dong, who is Vietnamese-Canadian, spent almost a decade creating comedy skits on YouTube, appearing as a more poised, polished version of herself. When she moved to TikTok in 2020, she became known as Leenda Dong and embraced a low-maintenance vibe (she looks like she actually woke up like this) and a self-deprecating sense of humour.

This family of four has roots that go all the way back to the Vine era. Back then, they were part of an early wave of PG vloggers promoting good, clean fun for big-brand partnerships.

Since then, the former scuba instructor, who got his start doing stand-up in Playa del Carmen, has attracted a global audience who love his mix of current-events commentary, brutally honest \u201cyo mama\u201d jokes and, yes, still a lot of body humour. He released his debut comedy album in 2020, fittingly titled Tales From My Butthole, which led to a gig hosting the MostAmazingTop10 YouTube channel.

Susur barely knew what TikTok was when Jet, his youngest son, approached him to collaborate on a series of food makeover challenges, which have now been viewed tens of millions of times by five million followers. Jet is the disaffected Gen Z partner who issues the challenges and edits the material after the fact, while Susur (who cooks in his home kitchen in socks!) shows a more relaxed version of his superstar self. Come for the culinary master class (that TV dinner became chicken dumplings bathed in a corn cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, topped with chives and shaved truffle). Stay for the surprisingly charming father-son dynamic and plenty of Chinese parenting wisdom, which Susur offers from behind the stove.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_James_Jones_is_shedding_light_on_Indigenous_culture_through_dance\"><\/span>10.
