Shane Lee Yaw (born July 19, 1988), known professionally as Shane Dawson, is an American YouTuber who's also done work in acting, writing, directing, music and makeup. His channel can be found here; he also has a second channel available here.Dawson rose to prominence making sketch comedy videos with off-color humor, where he played both fictionalized versions of himself and an assortment of strange characters with some degree of mental instability, many of whom were inspired by people he knew. His content evolved throughout the 2010s, with his following notably increasing along the way, peaking with him being a magnet to YouTube's "Trending" page with new videos regularly gaining tens of millions of views in short times.Initial phases included trying out Internet tips and hacks as well as discussing scary real-life stories and conspiracy theories. In the late 2010s, his content shifted to making multi-part documentary-style series initially about fun/paranormal experiences with his friends before covering pressing matters of YouTube culture, including Tana Mongeau's failed convention TanaCon and the lives of controversial creators such as Jeffree Star and Jake Paul.Dawson also starred in the horror movie Smiley with several other YouTube stars, and appeared in numerous episodes of YouTubers React. He also directed and starred in a number of short films alongside a feature film, Not Cool, the making of which was documented on The Chair (2014).Dawson would end up garnering repeated waves of criticism during the mid-to-late 2010s for the edgy, shock-value humor he built his early content on, with a long history of questionable comments and behavior alongside it, in addition to his involvement in several cases of YouTube drama. This culminated in June 2020, when public backlash from both the content and the drama reached an all-time high, resulting in large subscriber losses, call-outs from celebrities, terminations of brand partnerships, and indefinite suspension of all video monetization in what many considered to be the end of his YouTube career.After this situation, his Internet presence was relegated to semi-regular social media posts and occasional appearances in the content of his then-fiancé Ryland Adams. He eventually returned to YouTube on October 7, 2021 and married Ryland on January 3, 2023. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Shane Dawson (Web Video) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Shane has a few series focusing on darker subjects, such as paranormal experiences/challenges, real-life stories of tragedy and horror, and conspiracy theories. These feature a creepy ambient track in the background, and Shane's tone of voice is much more quiet and subdued than even his more neutral moods. | |

Only Sane Man | |
| Shane Dawson (Web Video) / int_24321e44 | comment |
Ryland is the Straight Man to Shane's Wise Guy in most of their appearances. Even when joining in the act, Ryland is usually the one that is asking sensible questions, making astute observations, or reacting to or snarking about Shane's antics. Crosses into Only Sane Man when Shane makes videos with his friends, with commenters noting that when Garrett and Drew are involved, Ryland takes the role of "sensible mom" in the group. | |

| Shane Dawson (Web Video) / int_26d1f65f | comment |
Verbal Tic: Things he really likes are "everything", and he constantly genders inanimate objects as female. He supposedly uses cool young slang ironically, but it seems to have invaded his natural vocabulary, so "shook", "queen", and "lit" and the like often come up during his excitable/energetic moods. | |

Disappeared Dad: Unfortunately. While he initially vilified his father and expressed his angst through heavy-handed videos, he's since realized that the separation was probably for the best, and when he reached out to reconnect with his father, a good deal of repair was done to their relationship, with Shane seeing a lot in common and understanding that the situation was complicated and just happened to be unfair to him. | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
| Shane Dawson (Web Video) / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: This is constantly lampshaded, as Shane very rarely wears clothes that fall outside of a few specific shirts and pants. Part of this is because of his body issues he encounters when trying new clothes, and part of it is just lazy slovenliness. | |

Quote Mine | |
| Shane Dawson (Web Video) / int_3fbdb8aa | comment |
Quote Mine: A scandal was started when an attack video quoted some (soon self-confessed to be tasteless and wrong) jokes Shane made years back about pedophilia, while removing all of the parts in the recording where he makes it clear he is joking and that he feels such behavior is truly disgusting. Since Shane had proof and tackled the issue fairly quickly with an apology video, the internet was quickly on his side, but it still caused some damage to his image since some didn't do more research...and reported on it. | |

Ambiguous Gender | |
| Shane Dawson (Web Video) / int_4510b368 | comment |
Ambiguous Gender: Queen Shane might be an exaggerated snobbish version of Shane and mentions having a male body, but also wears a tiara and fluffy coat and has dramatically different mannerisms. Shane's catch-all use of feminine pronouns for things and people doesn't make it easier. It's likely this problem is just due to it being wild improvisation with little tying down the character besides the attitude. | |

Shane has done enough of these notably subdued serious videos to completely subvert them with videos delivering the shocking news that...he stages his video thumbnails. Cue filming compilation. | |

Ascended Extra | |
| Shane Dawson (Web Video) / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: Shane's cameraman Andrew, who started working with Shane around his shift to documentary-style videos. While originally silently filming, Shane brought him out from behind the fourth wall, and he joined the group and has often been in front of the camera now as well. Ryland's sister Morgan appeared in some videos while Shane and Ryland went to the latter's family home in Colorado, but she soon moved to L.A. to live with Shane and Ryland and joined the "squad". | |

The Missus and the Ex: Shane's ex-girlfriend Lisa has no problem with his current boyfriend Ryland. While never in a serious relationship, Garrett and Shane dated. This has not kept Ryland, Shane's current boyfriend, from getting along with Garrett. | |

| Shane Dawson (Web Video) / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Garrett is sometimes the Straight Man to Shane's Wise Guy. He exclaims "Shane!" when the aforementioned does something snarky or rude to the point that it's his Catchphrase. They're both equally insane, though, so they don't qualify as Red Oni, Blue Oni. | |

Take That!: MANY. He seems to hate Miley Cyrus with a burning passion, as there will always be some joke about her getting stoned or just being generally disgusting in any scene that features her. There was another scene where Paris used an iPad as a tampon From the episode where Shanaynay drugs & kidnaps Katy Perry for Ned's birthday: Shane and his boyfriend Ryland made diss tracks about each other. | |

Straight Man and Wise Guy | |
| Shane Dawson (Web Video) / int_c8b4278b | comment |
Straight Man and Wise Guy: Ryland is the Straight Man to Shane's Wise Guy in most of their appearances. Even when joining in the act, Ryland is usually the one that is asking sensible questions, making astute observations, or reacting to or snarking about Shane's antics. Crosses into Only Sane Man when Shane makes videos with his friends, with commenters noting that when Garrett and Drew are involved, Ryland takes the role of "sensible mom" in the group. Garrett is sometimes the Straight Man to Shane's Wise Guy. He exclaims "Shane!" when the aforementioned does something snarky or rude to the point that it's his Catchphrase. They're both equally insane, though, so they don't qualify as Red Oni, Blue Oni. Andrew is usually left the Straight Man to the Wise Guys in Shane, Ryland, Garrett, and Morgan. | |

Breakout Character | |
| Shane Dawson (Web Video) / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character: Shane's boyfriend Ryland Adams. He went from appearing in the background for a few seconds reacting to Shane's antics to having entire videos dedicated to their relationships and then began to appear prominently in Shane's other videos and has now become an inseparable part of his content. Ryland's own channel quickly surpassed Garrett's, despite not being a professional YouTuber at the time, and having significantly fewer videos. Antonia Marquee from "Paying Strangers to do Weird Things". The song she wrote for Shane was so popular with fans that he requested songs from her in both subsequent Fiverr videos, and made two of them into music videos with Antonia herself joining in. | |

| Shane Dawson (Web Video) / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: While normally pretty lively and outrageous, he's made some videos with an entirely serious tone, discussing heavy life issues or apologies for poor decisions in his early content, and even defending himself when under attack online. Shane has done enough of these notably subdued serious videos to completely subvert them with videos delivering the shocking news that...he stages his video thumbnails. Cue filming compilation. In the defense against a particularly nasty media attack which claimed his ill-advised jokes about pedophilia were true admissions, Shane makes it very clear he's speaking truthfully with no pretense by declaring himself as Shane Yaw, his real last name. | |

Running Gag | |
| Shane Dawson (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Incessant self-deprecation relating to being trash and his food issues. His clip-in bangs in the beauty videos. Stupid puns (often involving the phrase "lit"), followed by "I'll go home." Capped off fairly early when he muses on the gag, pointing out that he's already home. Then he designed a T-shirt in the style of his usual green tee that features a door and the line. Ryland's uncanny resemblance to a guy named Andrew working at Buzzfeed. His self-assumed inferiority to Dan and Phil. Sometime this extends to Ryland, Lisa and even, apparently, his pets being said to prefer or be more attracted to them. Shane's exasperation with Garrett's Harry Potter obsession, often asking people to not even bring up the series around him because he doesn't want to deal with the fan talk that will start up. Shane being constantly amazed by the amount of money that flies around in the makeup world. From the ludicrous spending and flexing Jeffree Star seems to do entirely by accident, to finding out he could make a flat $10 million if the initial launch off their makeup collaboration sells out. | |
