1,000,000 Subscriber Play Button! DIY Outrageous Case

We hit 1,000,000 subscribers!! So YouTube sent me my Gold Play Button! Of course I must DIY the most Outrageous display case for this 1M plaque in my 1 million subs special celebration. It took some woodworking, painting, flocking, machine cutting letters and more! Will I be able to finish on time and with enough quality to live up to this milestone?

Hey best pal-y! I’m your musician, comedian, internet buddy. I’m dedicated to giving you music & comedy & fitness awesomeness every Thursday. Thanks for joining me on my adventures and being a part of this band of outrageous friends I’ve got :)

Ali, you don't actually have to post every other week. You will not lose all of your followers. You will not have failed. You can and should give yourself some grace.

'Even my reminder to live in the moment is stressing me out.'

I'm just here to remind you that you post some of the most hilarious content on YouTube, you don't have to be so stressed out all of the time.

[kmwwrench]

Congratulations! If you ever feel you need a lift in self esteem, just give me a call and I will sing your praises endlessly. Watching you and your sometimes struggles reminds me that I'm not the only one who has to jump hurdles from time to time. Plus, you always make me smile.

Some YouTubers got to a million seemingly without effort and not actually doing anything that matters. But YOU, Ali Spags, deserve every last one of those million. Congratulations.

This likely doesn't need to be said but in regards to "I have to get a video out every other week" ... no you don't. We're here for your energy and outrageous content, not your schedule. Congratulation on your million play button!

[cmkrcs]

The fact that you've been doing stuff like this for 10 years and you still cut everything with a hand saw and search for perfect pieces instead of planing validates my own amateurish woodworking 😅 However, I did get a cheap corded circular saw eventually and that was a game changer, would definitely recommend!

And another half million followers less than 2 weeks later! Congrats!

I accidentally stumbled across one of your videos a while ago on FB, the one where you got banned from multiple places. No idea why FB offered me it and I was slightly confused but something about the persistent energy kept me watching even though I hadn't the foggiest idea about anything in the video. Happened a few more times till I got kind of hooked on the art videos but I kept forgetting to follow and was cursed to only watch as FB offered me said videos. Getting my ADHD brain to remember names is an impossible challenge and yet I think it recognised you as an ADHD avatar of creativity.

Due to health complications, I can't action the creative ideas in my brain often, but watching your videos and the way you take the viewer with you on each challenge, highs and lows is brilliant. You are deserving of the rewards of your labour, even as you are clearly awesome without them.

Everything about this project is fantastic.

[VolpinaLadra]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch. Congratulations. your videos bring me a lot of joy and enthusiasm i am often lacken. thank you.

[DJapan]

I also use a hand saw to cut everything. It definitely takes extra time.

[joshuaremba]

Great video Pali! We appreciate you, and if it helps with the stress at all, I think the other palis are here much more for you (funness, genuineness, creativity etc (at least as can be judged from this side of the screen)), and also for your process, and less for the exact timing or final results (which don't get me wrong, have also been amazing and appreciated).

[gladfan]

We all know you're flocking outrageous! And flocking awesome, pal-y. (OK, did I build up her self-esteem enough to prevent glass breakage?)

[thundermonty]

I remember 4 or 5 years ago when I found you and you had less than 50K subs. I was like... how does she have so few subs for the quality of content she's producing?

Glad to see the years of work paying off.

[JavonCarterTV]

The most creative person in the world!

[bluedragon]

Thank you for the Life Lessons, Ali. You are the real ArT.

[bonneecashel]

Absolutely awesome! Love your perseverance!

[ZeroFiveFamily]

Ali, I’d love get in your brain and see how you come up with these amazing videos. Your so deserving of the gold play button, on to your next play button.🤗

[catlikemeew]

Honestly, i could live with 1-2 videos a year if they were this outrageous.

Blib, blob, magic sound, BE HAPPY!

take that, Dumbledore…

[gabrieldurrant]

Somebody get Ali a circular saw, please.
