Ah, quarantine. Day in and day out, we’re stuck inside our houses, thirsting for any form of entertainment to pass the seemingly endless days. For those of you seeking lighthearted, wholesome entertainment during these bland times, I present to you “ur mom ashley,” the YouTube alias of Ashley Alexander, a college student living in New York.
In the span of several short years, the up-and-coming YouTuber has amassed nearly 700,000 subscribers, charming viewers with her bubbly personality and creative content. Her channel features an eclectic mix of videos, ranging from thrift hauls, cooking vlogs, and unique challenges, offering unpredictable, yet purely entertaining content. A highlighting element of Ashley’s channel is the frequent appearances of her siblings, Amber and Andrew, offering a unique type of comedy only found in the dynamics of sibling interaction. Personally, I especially love the genuine, unapologetically goofy atmosphere of Ashley’s videos, offering a breath of fresh air in a social media world of overused trends and forced comedy. Ashley’s dynamic is truly unique to herself; you’ll never find yourself bored in the middle of a video.
So, for those of you seeking a refreshing twist on YouTube entertainment, hop on over to the welcoming arms of ur mom ashley.
