Hey everyone, it's Bonus Dose Day! Looking ahead, NEXT WEEK will be Cameoh-No #2 (I know some of you have been waiting patiently!) and the week after that will be Bonus #300, which is going to be a Buckley vs Buckley video about one of my most viewed (and most controversial) videos of all time. BUT, before we get to those, how about this one that makes us all feel old and out of touch with today's youth, even if you ARE today's youth?! Enjoy!

With entertainment becoming more and more segmented, the “monoculture”, the concept of a large number of people in society knowing about a certain pop culture icon or phenomenon, has largely gone away. Buckley demonstrates this with Rolling Stone's list of the “Top 25 Most Influential Creators of 2025”. How many do you know? Let's find out together! Plus, is the generational divide happening even faster than when you just didn't like the same SNL seasons your parents liked?

A Rogers-Hetler

I got 7. I got the same as Buckley plus I’ve heard about Duke Dennis in passing and also heard about Druski because of the white face thing

Nicole

At this point I will gladly embrace Piss Puddle for president.

Brandon Delon

I recognized Mr. Beast, and without you, I might have never heard of him. Took me a minute to understand your reference to AP which I haven’t watched in over a decade. I’m up on nothing lately. I spend most of my time writing or reading. Books. If books were ever destroyed I don’t think I could read off a screen. My eyes would fall out of my head.

David Deboy

Happy to say I failed this quiz with a 2.

Teresa Jones

Is Hasan Piker the same dude caught abusing his dog on stream? I’m definitely in the 3-5 range. What places do these people crawl out of?

Jim Woodard

Would never have heard of any of them had it not been for your channel. Honestly, the only name that stuck from your vids was Mr. Beast. Luckily, I misspelled it when searching for what he was about when you did, and I found Mr. Beat. Much more interesting and informational, especially in today's climate.

Alexa Franklin

2/15. I got the “freebies” of Kai Cenat and Mr. Beast from Buckley. That does not mean I go outside more than anyone else, I just don’t use YouTube as an actual source of entertainment other than Buckley videos and music videos to listen to in the car. I never got into actually watching YouTube content. How I consumed Buckley’s content for years was listening to him via my phone while I worked, or drove to work, barely even looking at the screen. I was one of those people Buckley referred to years ago that only climbed out of my cave to listen to his content.

Sapphie

2/15 if we count the ones I know. 4/15 if we count "I've heard the name somewhere"

Zoë Kay

10/15, but my day job is working with influencers lol

The Sock Monkey!

5-and four of them I knew because I watch this channel religiously. Thanks Buckley.

Surv1vor1993

4. 3 because I’m not counting MrBeast. I knew of Hasan from a video about Reaction content that Act Man made, I knew about Druski because he did the cold open for this years SummerSlam in New Jersey (also my phone tried autocorrecting his name to Drake, which is laughably sad) and unfortunately I knew of Speed, and still laugh like a school girl whenever I see the clip of him getting absolutely destroyed by Bron Breakker at the Royal Rumble earlier this year

Scott the K

Same. MS Rachel is the only name I’ve heard outside of a Buckley video. Pretty sure I’ve never actually seen any of their content, though.

Daniel Mattock

3- Mr Beast, Hasan Piker because of this channel, iShowspeed because of this years Royal Rumble

ElFrioSilencio

Please Buckley, its "Cuh-Mee-La Cuh-Bay-Oh". I'll forgive you for putting her on last year's worst songs list because that last album sucked, but at least say her name right 🙏🏻

Emma Anderson

I got 5. I feel like "influencer" is a bit of a stretch because with most of these people, who are they really "influencing"?

A Dose of Buckley

That's also a good question. What "influence" have some of these people had? Are there now creators copying them, or inspired to create because of them? Certainly a couple of them, but I don't think anyone's copying Jake Shane. One could argue Kai Cenat "influenced" a lot of people to give him money for his "Mafiathon" where he got a million paid subscribers (a lot were gifts from corporations but still, a LOOOT of money generated for no cause, just for Kai to have more money). But have they changed or added something to the culture? I don't think so.

emily

0 if it has to be “people whose shit i watch” 4 if “people whose names i know from killing time on twitter/reddit while working from home” (im “only” in my late 20s lol)

Rin

Will watch later but I'm really happy to see IronMouse getting mainstream attention. She is someone all should know even if not into Vtubers. She raises a ton of money for the Immune Deficiency Fund each year. And I know Kai through him and IronMouse basically fighting for the top spot on Twitch for a while. Hasan because the right wing nutjobs hate him then he proved himself to be an asshat. Speed because he does stupid shit. Beast, unfortunately. And MsRachel seems like one of the most wholesome people who is never recognized by toddlers when out of character. Someone I wish was on the list, Jovan Bradley.

Kvothe

3, two of those are only because of your channel...

Honk22

I only know of Druski because he keeps coming up on the search dropdown on YouTube before you start typing. I've never seen his face til this video. I thought Druski was just some weird horror game thing like Sprunki, I didn't think he was a content creator.

Jazz

I got 4. And 3 of them I only knew because of A Dose of Buckley 😂. I knew Ms. Rachel because I’ve seen her toys at Walmart.

Fiz Gig

I knew 2. I found out both here. Ms Rachel and MrBeast. I did see his cookies at the grocery store once though. I'm a 66 year old grandma who remembers when MASH broadcast their final episode and everybody watched it.

Summer Hay

seconded on ironmouse, i ended up on her wiki and her story is affable. its generic ahh answer but i knew of her cause she produced '1800'.

Summer Hay

Gen Z. Know of 6. None of which I know of from your channel. I'm here because I like the commentary, not to learn about such. Twitch leaks into YouTube the same way TikTok content gets posted verbatim on other social media platforms.

Josh Ferris

I knew 7. I'm a Millennial.

Matthew Barnett

I’m 27 and scored 2. Mr. Beast and ms. Rachel cause of kids

LissaChelle9002

35 year old millennial and scored a 6. One of those was Camilla Araujo, and I only found out about her through the Bop House.

Mr. Scadoop

Got a 6 and I’m 35. Pretty sure most of the ones I knew I’ve heard from Buckley. Besides Mr Beast cause I got kids.

Giu

4, learned about all against my will lol

Michał Michalski

I know 4, one I learned from you. I show speed guy is alright though. For someone with that much influence I expected a more corrupt or moronic guy, someone like Jake Paul.

Megan Leyda

4 and 2 were from Buckley 😭

DOAA

i basically live on the internet but i can't stand the type of people this lists show. the only ones i know is ms rachel(due to nieces and nephews) beast (whom i hate) and ishowspeed ( also hate) .

Kalen Johnson

EY, I got 7 (I only like 2, Caleb and Mrs Rachel)

Kalen Johnson

4:37 Got 9 of those, maybe I am old (sad face)
