Jenna Marbles was one of the original big channel Youtubers. I remember being in middle school and quoting her constantly, and never having to explain the reference. Everyone knew who Jenna was.
Then, time passed as it does. And like most youtubers, her following shrunk overtime. People outgrew her or lost interest. I myself stopped watching her for years, except for the occasion “I wonder what Jenna’s doing” search.
But what did she decide to do? Was she gonna pander to her audience, or do challenge videos to keep her views up?
No.
She decided to do whatever she freaking wanted.
She literally follows whatever crazy, impulsive thoughts she has and doesn’t really care what we think.
One week she thought, “I wonder how many balloons it would take to float Marbles up in the air?” And she found out.
“I should cover my entire face with rhinestones” Yes please.
“I want to blend into my green screen” YES. ABSOLUTELY.
She does what she wants, and its entertaining as hell. I love being subscribed to Jenna cuz I literally have no idea what’s coming this Wednesday/Thursday, but I know she’s gonna be having a great time doing it.
Jenna Marbles is an icon. She’s what I aspire to be. We should all learn from her to follow our dreams, no matter how unusual they may seem.
Bonus: Here’s some screenshots from her as a green screen
I’m so glad someone finally said something about this. Jenna marbles is one of my favorite people to ever exist and I love her endlessly (and Julien and her dogs)
She also hosts on SiriusXM Hits 1 every Friday and she is great there too!
