His first two videos were uploaded in early 2013, but he didn't start regularly uploading until the fall of 2014. In the years following, he gained millions of subscribers. In September 2017, following roughly a year of an [[ScheduleSlip extremely sporadic and unpredictable release schedule]], he uploaded what appeared to be his [[https://youtu.be/5hirytvfSXM final video]], showing signs that the man needed a break. According to the video in question, Grade had been suffering from serious burnout at the production and editing of his videos, to the point where it began to affect his physical and mental health -- he described himself as depressed as a result of it, which made being funny (the focus of his channel) extremely difficult.

After over a year, he finally reemerged with a new video on New Year's Day 2019. He slowly put out a few more, but after releasing "Why We All Hate Valentines Day" in March 2019, he disappeared again. He then resurfaced ''another'' year later, when he uploaded four videos from May to June of 2020, before disappearing ''again''. He re-emerged once again in March 2021, and as of this writing, he is uploading, albeit a much less frequent rate than in the past.

** In one of his prank videos, this is his reaction to a clip by a video of a prankster wherein he goes up to a short, ambiguously-of-age girl on the street and asks her if he can get a really quick blowjob if a coin toss is heads. (The point he was making is that this is far too absurd to be real.)

** Grade is sure to call out anyone on being hypocritical, such as Nicole Arbour or Vegan Gains.
** In his video about LetsPlay/PewDiePie, LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}}, and WebVideo/MatthewSantoro making "[=YouTube=] is changing" videos, Grade states that Markiplier can't be taken seriously with most of his hair dyed red...even though he portrays himself as a cartoon character.
** In "An End To Youtube Drama?", Grade calls out fans on blaming [=YouTubers=] for "Drama", when it's usually the fans who blow things out of proportions. In Grade's previous video, Grade placed the blame on three [=YouTubers=] when his channel got accused of being all about drama.
** Earlier, Grade opts not to wash his hands as long as his trip to the bathroom isn't too filthy, but another video is dedicated to how filthy public bathrooms are.
** In "Everything Thats Wrong With Youtube (Part 1)", Grade complains about WebVideo/{{Reactor}} using Grade's videos to create fake advertising for his [=YouTube=] channel. In response, Reactor notes with amusement that Grade has no room to complain as Grade himself indulges in annoying other [=YouTubers=] and creating drama to grow his channel.
** As pointed out by WebVideo/{{IDubbbzTV}}, Grade had been friends with Keemstar for some time despite knowing about Keemstar's public controversies, which makes Grade's criticism of Keemstar in his videos rather disingenuous since Grade ended his friendship with Keemstar and subsequently started criticizing him only after Keemstar became unpopular within the wider [=YouTube=] community.

companion (Under) have to say about various topics from the naming of animals animals, to the problems with [=YouTube=], to politics, to life's hardest questions?

That's where [=GradeA=][=UnderA=] [=GradeA=][=UnderA=], often shortened to "Grade", comes in.

He is a Website/YouTube content creator from the United Kingdom that makes comedic rant videos (accompanied by art drawn by Grade himself) that can be summarized as being based around whatever he finds interesting at the moment. His [=YouTube=] channel can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/user/GradeAUnderA here]]. Grade and Under are two [[StickFigureAnimation stick figures]] shown on-screen in the videos who collectively serve as the "avatar" for the actual man himself, who avoids showing himself on camera. His videos can generally be described as slideshows of [[UsefulNotes/MSPaint MS paint]]-drawn graphics with his voice over, combined with some music playing to mark transitions and clips from other videos.

His first two videos were uploaded in early 2013, but he didn't start regularly uploading until fall of 2014; since then, 2014. In the years following, he has gained a massive following totaling millions of subscribers.

In September 2017, following roughly a year of [[ScheduleSlip an extremely sporadic and unstable release schedule]], he uploaded what appeared to be his [[https://youtu.be/5hirytvfSXM final video]]. It appeared that the man had needed a break from Website/YouTube videos; based on the video in question, it appeared that Grade had been suffering from intensive serious burnout at the production and editing of his videos, to the point where it began to affect his physical and mental health - he described himself as depressed as a result of it. He also explained that he found being funny - what his channel is all about - to be extremely difficult when dealing with depression.

After over a year, he finally reemerged with a new video on New Year's Day 2019, and he's 2019. He slowly put out a few more, but as of now, his latest video was uploaded more since, but it doesn't appear to be on a regular basis.
in March 2019. It seems like the man is taking an indefinite hiatus for now.



* FreezeFrameBonus: Most of his videos contain blink-and-you-miss-it messages related to whatever he's talking about. He sometimes uses them to explain terms/brands unique to his country or insult his friend Ajmal.

* {{Minimalism}}: Also see StatusQuoIsGod below. In contrast to many other creators, Grade's videos are almost exclusively done using Windows Movie Maker and Microsoft Paint. While this minimalist setup may have been rooted in budget/time restrictions originally, later on, it became a conscious choice; Grade has explained that he's rejected a fellow creator's offer to send him a free microphone, specifically because he didn't want his style of video to change. In his mind, the minimalist nature of the videos is a part of them.

* MostAnnoyingSound: InUniverse; in [[https://youtu.be/4Q714fz3Cu4 "Hillary Clinton Wants War - THE WORST OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS"]], Grade states that he finds Hillary Clinton's fake laugh to be extremely annoying and on par with Baby Mario's crying in ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' and the ''VideoGame/DuckHunt'' dog's laugh.

** In "Everything Thats Wrong With Youtube (Part 1)", Grade complains about WebVideo/{{Reactor}} using Grade's videos to create fake advertising for his [=YouTube=] channel. In response, Reactor notes with amusement that Grade has no room to complain as Grade himself indulges in annoying other [=YouTubers=] and creating drama to grow his channel.
** As pointed out by WebVideo/{{IDubbbzTV}}, Grade had been friends with Keemstar for some time despite knowing about Keemstar's public controversies, which makes Grade's criticism of Keemstar in his videos rather disingenuous since Grade ended his friendship with Keemstar and subsequently started criticizing him only after Keemstar became unpopular within the wider [=YouTube=] community.

What appeared to be his [[https://youtu.be/5hirytvfSXM final video]] was uploaded in September 2017, following roughly a year of [[ScheduleSlip an extremely sporadic and unstable release schedule]]. This was only the seventh video he had put out that year, the sixth being a video uploaded in May 2017 that promised a new video in a few days. It appeared that the man was done with Website/YouTube videos. Based on the video in question, it appeared that Grade had been suffering from intensive burnout at the production and editing of his videos, to the point where it began to affect his physical and mental health - he described himself as depressed as a result of it.

* TakeThat: In [[https://youtu.be/xj-7_YU-KIs&feature=youtu.be Why Gift Cards Are A Scam]], one of the unwanted gifts being sold on [=eBay=] is The Gherkin, a massive skyscraper in London... but it's listed as "Nicole Arbour's Dildo", which was unwanted because it was too small. Later in the same video, when he talks about how you can't use gift cards to pay hookers, he uses a photo of Nicole to represent the hypothetical hooker in question.
