The best comedy influencers aren’t simply the accounts with the most followers. Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube all show videos to people based on how the video performs individually, not just based on who follows the creator. As a result, a small or midsized account can reach more people than one several times its size.
That’s why we rank comedy influencers by median views of their videos (the average number of people a typical video reaches). As of November 2026, the five most watched are Druski, Khaby Lame, Anatoly, Brent Rivera, and Zach King.
Grouped by how the jokes are made, from silent gags to stand-up. The number beside each name is the creator’s overall rank.
Physical gags, camera tricks, and silent reactions. None of the four needs a translation.

We analyzed the 398 posts these 35 creators published on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube in the last 30 days. Of those, 21 beat their creator’s usual views by 3× or more.
Here is how this month’s breakouts open, read from what each video says in its first seconds, or from its caption when nobody speaks.
“Alright, sweetie, first stop, your budget’s 65k, okay?”
Most of this month’s breakouts start mid-scene, with a character already talking: no greeting, no setup line to camera. Their ordinary uploads start like this just as often, which rules out the opening as the cause.
Cody West 9.6M views · 8.6× their usualThe premise did: a dad who swears he has no favorite child, a friend who turns out to be even more broke, and a stranger standing on a dollar bill. Each is a situation viewers have been in, and the first line drops them into it.
“When your bike ghosts you”
The second most common breakout had nobody speaking: music, sound effects, and a caption that names the joke. In Daniel LaBelle’s video, the caption is the premise, and a bike riding off without its owner does the rest.
Daniel LaBelle 8.6M views · 3.4× their usualSilent videos are about as common in these creators’ usual posts, so this is a format more than a hook. It is also why the four wordless creators on this list need no subtitles in any market.
“This is one of the most remote and isolated countries on planet Earth.”
Two breakouts opened by naming what the viewer is looking at. Max Fosh starts with a remote island nation before saying why he flew there; Sherrin and Yixi start by announcing family Halloween costume ideas.
Max Fosh 4.9M views · 4.2× their usualThe first line tells viewers what they are about to see, so the joke can be in how it goes wrong. It shows up in the usual posts too, but less often than in the breakouts.
Sherrin and Yixi: “no such thing as privacy 🤣” reached 15M views, 7.9× their usual.
King Bach: “i have a feeling this baby might be black” reached 16M views, 6.9× their usual.
Khaby Lame: “Was the ball out, or was it just my imagination? 🤨” reached 137M views, 6.6× their usual.
This table shows what the comedy accounts on this list do at each size on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Use it to judge whether a creator’s numbers are strong for their tier.
| Tier | Followers | Median views | Engagement | Posts a week | Sponsored posts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Macro | Under 2M | 1.6M | 6% | 3.3 | 8% |
| Mega | 2M to 10M | 1.9M | 3.7% | 2.1 | 6% |
| Mega | 10M to 30M | 5.4M | 3.8% | 2.3 | 9% |
| Mega | Over 30M | 3.6M | 6.8% | 0.7 | 10% |
The figures are medians across these 35 accounts, from each account’s recent videos. “Sponsored posts” is the share of posts in the 90 days to Nov 6, 2026, that carry a paid-partnership or paid-promotion label or a stated sponsor, or are part of a brand campaign.
If you’re picking a comedy creator to make a sponsored video, look past the follower count to how the jokes are built and who is in them.
Silent gags and reactions work in any market with no subtitles. Spoken sketches land on a line of dialogue, so they work best where your customers speak the creator’s language.
Many sketch creators rely on a recurring cast, guests, a partner, or a parent. Ask whether the faces your audience knows will appear in your video, and whether their fees are part of the quote.
Look at the views of a creator’s past sponsored posts against their median. If the sponsored ones fall far below the usual, ask how your product would sit inside the joke, not after it.
Check the disclosure too. On YouTube, a sponsored video should carry the paid-promotion label, which shows at its start.
A comedian’s feed can be mostly ticket sales. Count how many recent posts are bits made for the platform before you pay for reach to the comedian’s fans.
Some creators here post more than once a day, others a few times a month. A creator who posts rarely has a median built on older videos, so ask when your video would go up and what else would post around it.
We identified and ranked these creators by searching hundreds of thousands of top-performing comedy posts across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube with Klint.
We rank by median views across each creator’s recent videos, so one viral post can’t lift an account up the list. Creators from any country qualify if they post in English or with no words, get at least 1M views on a typical video, and posted in the last 60 days; a stand-up comedian qualifies when most recent posts are clips made for the platform, not tour promotion.
To get this list or a similar one for yourself, describe the creators you’re looking for in the Klint web app, or paste this prompt into any AI agent connected to Klint:
Find the top 35 comedy influencers on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube who post in English or with no words, ranked by median views across their last 30 videos or last 90 days, whichever is lower, with at least 1M median views.
Klint is trusted by 1,000+ marketers for AI-native influencer marketing.
As of November 2026 the top five comedy influencers by median views are Druski, Khaby Lame, Anatoly, Brent Rivera, and Zach King.
Druski, with a median of 22M views on a typical TikTok video, from 16M followers. Khaby Lame is next, at 21M on Instagram.
TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. A creator with accounts on two or three of them shows up only once, under the account whose usual video draws the biggest audience. Creators from any country qualify if they post in English or with no words.
A comedian whose recent posts mostly sell tour dates, specials, or films is left off, and so are actors and musicians who promote that work. Creators who post mainly in another language belong on that language’s lists.
Search each platform for the format your audience shares, such as sketches, pranks, or crowd work, and note who keeps coming up in your feed. Klint does it in one step: ask for “silent comedy creators with no recent sponsored posts” and get the list ranked by typical views.
It depends on reach, on how much writing and filming a sketch takes, and on how many people are in it: a cast sketch costs more to make than a bit to camera. Most deals are a fee per video, sometimes with rights to run it as an ad, and creators with a manager quote through them.
Yes. Any creator can ask to be taken off Klint’s lists, and the request applies to every page they would otherwise appear on.
