[@icklenellierose]

Thank you for all the super-nice comments you're all leaving. I was really not expecting that. I'm being all soppy & crying happy tears xx

[@freeravenfox]

Thank you for sitting down and doing a short Q&A for us. It is cool to get to hear your perspective on things.

[@icklenellierose]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@killeraddictioncraft3373]

So glad I found you! I have been looking up a youtuber like you for ages. Never stop making videos :)

[@icklenellierose]

Thank you! I'm glad they do something positive :)

[@TimH]

[@SkatEirinn]

I really like your sense of humor, I'm glad your uploading again

[@icklenellierose]

Thank you! I'm gonna try keep up the momentum!

[@godesssovwar6061]

you're such a good KZbinr Ellen x

[@kamalnoor5611]

Hey Ellen your video on street harassment reminded me how it feels about being black in that some people who are incapable of empathy always dismiss anything bad you face.

[@ebbeckett2977]

Not the whole internet hates you! D: I think you are amazing and a complete legend and I have been binging your videos for the four days I have been ill and not been able to sleep and they make me laugh and they cheer me up and I love it :D Never. Stop. Making. Videos... Please

[@ThePwnzerWillDie]

Everytime I watch your vids I wonder why you dont have more viewers. You're good at this.More than other KZbinrs.

[@minicraftgirl]

Your awesome! Your videos cheer me up after a bad day so thank you so much xx

[@DT95KingdomX]

I have no idea how I came across you're KZbin channel but I'm so glad I did, you make amazing content and you make me laugh when I'm not having a great day, hope to see plenty more videos from you, keep up the good work.

[@icklenellierose]

Thanks!

[@oldharlock7760]

Well, I'm a little late to the party, so I actually didn't help you to get where you are now, but I sure as hell am planning to at least help keeping you there. You make awesome content here and for Oxtra and I'm glad you made it this far!

[@WaltoDisney]

Thank you for pushing Gines channel! She hasn't made much recently, but her videos are very entertaining. And I'm so happy to see new videos from you too! Thanks for the smiles as always! =)

[@icklenellierose]

She's awesome, and thanks! :)

[@uktenaactual]

I know I'm responding to a old video... but since you said you like the positive comments as well... thought I would say I'm a recent subscriber, and I love your videos (playing catch up on them)

[@jussiviitasaari3602]

Wow 20000 congrats Ellen! Oh what about next q&a with your sister? Aaaand some vidja gameplay...

[@hadesbutmortal]

I love your channel Ellen! You are the channel that finally made me certain I wanted to make videos (even though I haven't actually made any yet. I NEED A GOOD CAMERA DON'T YELL AT ME!).

[@masonlewis9514]

Woooo! You're not hated on the internet! :) If anything you are cheering me up this january!

[@icklenellierose]

Thank you! Glad I could help! January can really suck!

[@masonlewis9514]

I agree, especially with a crappy christmas >.< Ah well, can only get better XD Will you be attending MCM in May?

[@icklenellierose]

Mason Lewis Yes I hope to be!!

[@masonlewis9514]

Wooo! I shall keep an eye out and say hello! I did see you last time, but didn't recognise! So here's the hello from last time!

[@matthewdarby9159]

Awsome as usual.

[@joelsmith7078]

Got a new job which necessitates me sitting around not doing things for long periods of time doing nothing (which I hate and is super stressful), so thanks to you for your videos as they've helped me make the best of a stressful situation. :D

[@martynpallen]

I admire the fact that you do videos like these, I couldn't answer random questions just as randomly as you can, I dont think I have the courage for it. How did you get into this.? You could be a reporter, or journalist.

[@Hydraclone]

Watched the video. Left a comment. You rock.

[@rakitoboktoso]

I'm a bit super late for a nice comment, but I am really enjoying watching your videos :). Makes me want to focus more on my own material and try to get more humor in them (even though its hard when youre just alone playing games).

[@GideonGleeful95]

Well, for my nice comment I'm going to Additional suggest of things you should check out: 1) Gravity Falls 2) Avatar The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra 3) The Cartographer's Handbook

[@Thiesi]

Hm. Interesting video - it made me realize that I'm actually the opposite: an extrovert introvert. Thanks for the insight, and please keep making videos as you somehow almost always manage to make me smile.

[@icklenellierose]

Aww I'm glad :) thank you!

[@paulidin]

I don't remember seeing any vlogs where the sign off is making a slightly derp face and waving, so you could totally OWN that. :D Another lovely video!

[@icklenellierose]

Thank you, on both counts! *waves awkwardly*

[@ezrafear9923]

I like all your videos, all of them. I subscribed because of the feminism/social issues themed ones. And because of how amazingly you do everything that you do. And I really like your voice. Definitely no hate here. Keep up the good work. You're great.

[@Stryder00o]

The awkward wave needs to be your goodbye thing forever now! :D

[@MarkHilton1]

happy20k+ subs to you ellen :D

[@icklenellierose]

Thank you! And thanks for always leaving nice comments (I c u thar..!)

[@garybraidwood5539]

thank you for the videos

[@StonefoxMedia]

StonefoxMedia Digs your KZbin Channel

[@icklenellierose]

Thank you! :)

[@EyewitnessHistoryChannel]

any reason you just spoke in the 3rd person?

[@theincredibletacoman]

I want a video that shows everything that's in the bookshelf behind you....it's very intriguing...

[@icklenellierose]

That could be done!

[@daniellemathews1542]

As I have always said, I enjoy your video's. Mostly do to the idea that you seem honest, and funny. It's even interesting to see your stuff on my facebook page. I must say that I really like your video's that deal with issues. They make people think, although your lighthearted and fun ones are great too. I can tell you put real effort into your video's, if i was to ever attempt any, yours would be in inspiration for the type of video model and work I would put forth in my own. So...keep up the good work.

[@icklenellierose]

Thank you! I wanna keep the content/subjects of my videos nice & varied as everyone seems to like everything...!

[@piwiator]

Complimentary comment time! I've been watching your videos since Yogscast directed me to your reply girls video and I don't think I've ever left a comment...so here's one! Great vids, keep it up!

[@icklenellierose]

Thank youuu!

[@mcol3]

It's really hard for small or starting youtubers nowadays! And from what you say, it seems that for those that already have several thousand subscribers is still hard! I guess it's great to have more people involved and watching, but there's also too much money in KZbin currently, and unfortunately it all goes to a relatively small bunch of people. But something else changed in the KZbin algorithms, so much that sometimes I cannot even find my own videos through a search when I use almost all words in the title...

[@icklenellierose]

Yup. KZbin is messed up & all my sympathies are with everyone being screwed over by it: creators who can't upload every day, small youtubers, new youtubers, youtube users just trying to FIND stuff. KZbin is letting a lot of people down & it's infuriating.

[@jamesteavery0]

That wave at the end should become a thing, it was great.

[@icklenellierose]

Yeah I think it might have to be a thing now. People seem to like it. haha!

[@LungsOutJem]

Hi! This is a nice comment tonsay I loke you, I love your videos, and you always improve my mood. 😊

[@awkwardhedgehogie5911]

Well I know this is a TAD bit late, but I'm going to ask this question anyway: what is your ideal pizza slice angle?

[@FrancescaGeorgiou]

Oh you! I don't get how people can leave you bleurgh comments, you have a zero bleurgh rating on my scale. Thanks so much for all the happy stuff and for being so honest about the 'KZbin struggle' too

[@icklenellierose]

It's been on my mind for ages and I just want to be honest with everyone about how "urgh" it can make you feel. And thank you, you also have a zero bleurgh rating on my scale :)

[@daxtro5492]

i would chose games over films in a heartbeat XD

[@rich956]

good vids thanks for posting :)

[@SoFreshLSRP]

Haven't been this early. PANCAKES.

[@icklenellierose]

SYRUP. OR SUGAR AND LEMON.

[@Faxter313]

I just remembered smth I thought about from last video: You have a B.Sc. and have trouble finding a job? What did you study? I'm curious because I am about to do my B.Sc. over in Germany and already have a few companies I could safely get a fairly well-paid job (beeing an electrical engineer). Does England have enough skilled technicians so that the market is satiated or do you have a problem finding smth that actually fits you? Also, apparently I am supercool. yay!

[@Major6A9Official]

you are so awesome !!! i am a feminist as well and thank you for debunking the whole "not all men" excuse for male dominance and slander. keep it up sista. :)

[@derekflores3089]

It is just me or does your voice sound deeper than it used to?

[@jussiviitasaari3602]

Maybe the scaryest game on the century farming simulator15!

[@Pyrotechnic558]

Person who likes you and you videos reporting in. I seem to remember you watch/watched The Yogscast. Do you watch many other gaming channels on KZbin?

[@celworks9413]

Argh, why KZbin? WHY?! Oh well, at least now I can go on a video archive binge. :)

[@griffingamingxp]

My favourite 5 KZbinrs, in no particular order, are TomSka, *Icklenellierose*, MrWeebl, Danger Dolan, and the Vsauces I used to watch gaming vids, but not so much now

[@icklenellierose]

There are names there that I am truly honoured to be in a list with. Thank you!

[@griffingamingxp]

icklenellierose You're welcome :D

[@AlexanderHvastovich]

I got some subs and would like more videos for english speaking people )))

[@drygyn]

No ... YOU are super cool. ^_^

[@icklenellierose]

Oh you... ^-^

[@AlexanderHvastovich]

Hey, would you like to make a blog video via skype together?

[@expectopatronum6022]

Beeing one of the persons that like you, it felt like i should leave a comment :) I like you. I love your voice, it is so relaxing, and i like your video subjects. :D

[@icklenellierose]

I always worry that my voice is annoying... I'm glad it has the opposite effect for you!

[@Killerdp234]

For an Ellen's English idea you could do either a "Noone" and a No one comparison (explaining that "Noone" is not a word) or one about how you should read out-load so that if you have to you don't sound illiterate. Just some ideas, thanks!

[@ThePurplenessness]

*Comment about how you're cool and nice and stuff

[@icklenellierose]

*Comment about how grateful I am that you watched and left a nice comment.

[@UrmasSalu]

Here's some viewer appreciation directed towards said channel! Commenting on a positive note is slightly difficult, as there is a delicate line between positive and what could seem creepy. The awkward hand-wavy thing is definitely something that appears to be original and also appropriate, so make it your own. Got to make the icklenellierose brand distinctly recognisable.

[@icklenellierose]

Well a comment definitely won't come off as creepy if it's not about me, e.g. "I enjoyed this" "great video". that's what I tend to put on vids (if a little more fleshed-out!). Seems like awkward hand-wavy thing is gonna be part of my new brand haha

[@paddythompson6693]

Plz play skyrim

[@SunriseFireberry]

How do you wish to interact with positive commenters? My fav movie is LotR pt.1 Fellowship, extended ed., though I don't like any scenes with orcs in 'em. I don't play video games, as yet anyway.

[@icklenellierose]

Like this - HIIIIII! :D

[@MommaMiri]

I suppose I should leave a comment then, since you like nice ones so much. I'm not sure I've ever commented on any of your videos...that I'm aware of. I watch so many videos in a day. I have no life...lol. ANYway...So...yeah. I wouldn't be subscribed to you if I didn't watch your videos and I wouldn't watch your videos if they weren't well made and thought out videos. I can tell you put a lot of effort into entertaining your fans. Not that you're the only KZbinr who does this, but some don't and it irks me...grr. I tried...and tried again...and tried again...and will try again to be a KZbin personality. Just haven't found the best way to do that yet. In the mean time, I will continue to watch your awesomeness. Also, not that it means a whole heck of a lot, but I subscribe to very few people on here. And I go through cleanups and unsubscribe from those who have lost my interest. You've made it through two, since I've subscribed to you...lol. So you must be pretty awesome. This comment has gone on long enough. I shall now take my leave. Good day...evening? >.>

[@icklenellierose]

Tip: don't try to be a "KZbin personality". It sounds cliche, but just be yourself. Be a person who happens to be a KZbinr. See what you enjoy doing most - people much prefer watching someone who feels good about what they're doing &, more importantly, comfortable doing it. Just try different things and see what is "you". x

[@MommaMiri]

Thank you for the tip. I had done videos before, but no one cared for them...nor did I. I was just talking about what everyone else was...or what made me angry...lol. I have better ideas, these days...and it's all things I enjoy. Probably gonna do tutorials. I just haven't been comfortable with myself on camera, but I'm getting there. Now all I need is the time...lol. Thank you for even taking the time to read my comment, let alone reply to it. I appreciate that. Most KZbinrs don't give bat's wings about those of us who watch their videos....which I'm sure you know. So thank you... ^_^

[@Maedelrosen]

Ellen's English is desperately needed. This new trend of turning plurals into a possessive form is just....ughh. "Hi!! I love your video's! Sometime's I watch them while eating cookie's and playing drum's!!1!" -.-

[@icklenellierose]

Will add it to the list!

[@AyresMichel]

You're very cool and charismatic too... not easy to find nowadays xD~

[@ValleysOfRain]

I've just realised you look and behave in a very similar way to my Physics teacher... not quite the same, but close enough that it is disconcerting...

[@imnotparanoid68CERTIFIEDMEMER]

Here is a comment that doesnt hate you.

[@icklenellierose]

YAY! THANK YOU!

[@imdmusic2012]

So, I'm replying, and you only have 11 likes and 51 views. WTF why is KZbin being a hater???!

[@RoySchl]

pitty comment :)

[@icklenellierose]

I'm not mining for compliments, so no need for pits. ;)

[@RoySchl]

after googeling this for 5 minutes to find the joke, i see my mistake, which only prooves we need more of your english educational videos. at least i have the excuse of beeing a non native english speaker. and now i am sure there are about 10 more mistakes in this comment, but you don't have to pity me... yes i did it!

[@Theodoreroum]

People would not subscribe to you if they were hating you ;).

[@icklenellierose]

Oh you'd be surprised...! There are people who subscribe so they can dislike & rant under every video you put up. This is an actual thing that actual people do.

[@Theodoreroum]

icklenellierose Still, this means that they actually like you and this is why they pick *you* to do this ;).

[@goonzie95]

is it true that u turned down an offer to work at rockstar games?

[@icklenellierose]

Yup. Had an interview at their offices in Edinburgh & everything. Didn't take the job - but the worst thing about it was that turning it down wasn't my choice. Would've loved to have had my name in those credits...

[@goonzie95]

icklenellierose oh, what a shame :(
