My name is Tyler Oakley and it is time

for another Ask Tyler, let's do it.

Emma wants to know, "How has YouTube changed your life?"

Well, before I used to do less cool stuff

and now I get to do cool stuff.

Nicole wants to know, "Can you put this in your video?"

Any thing for you, Nicole, but this is the last time.

If you were dared to lick a spider

for $100,000, will you do it?

Bitch, I am poor, yes, I would do that.

Are you joking?

Are you on drugs?

Are you sniffing glue?

Yes.

Lauren wants to know, "Will you sing your favorite song

"off of Midnight Memories."

It's really hard for me to pick a favorite song

off of Midnight Memories.

I am currently very into the song Happily by One Direction.

Not because of the sounds of the song

but more so the message.

I would sing but I'm not drunk.

It's 4 AM and I know you're with him.

I wonder if he knows that I touched your skin.

And if he feels my traces in your hair,

sorry, love, but I don't really care.

I just think there's something really special

about five guys talk about doing their deed

in some girl's hair.

Dolphineisha wants to know, "What are you top three tracks

"from ARTPOP?"

That is very hard, I love every thing except

Jewels and Drugs, just like everybody else.

But I would have to go with, if I had to pick three singles

right now: Swine, Manicure and maybe, Aura.

Also, mmm, well every thing, all of the songs.

Go get ARTPOP, buy ARTPOP on iTunes.

Selma wants to know, "How is your stay in Michigan so far?"

I am loving Michigan.

I got in a couple days ago and I'm here

for a couple of weeks so it's so good to be back.

Mom!

- [Tyler's mom] What?

- Come here!

So, like I said, I'm back here in Michigan

with the one and only...

- [Tyler's mom] Hi!

- Queen Jackie (laughs), she's back.

- Hey, everyone.

- Okay, so the people wanna know, how I am enjoying

my stay back in Michigan.

I told them I've been here for a couple of days

but tell them how I got home.

- Well, I was invited over to my daughter's house

Sunday for dinner, almost didn't go

because I didn't feel very good

but I thought I'd better go because she invited me

and my grandson wanted to see me.

So, my grandson and my son-in-law were gone.

- Okay, this is getting boring.

- Anyway, the doorbell rings and I think it's just

my grandson so I'm looking down saying,

"Merry Christmas!"

And then I looked up and went, "Oh, my God!"

- Jesus Christ.

- And I screamed and I cried.

He told me that he had to work and that he would have

to miss Christmas this year, but he could come

for Thanksgiving, so I was good about it.

I was sad.

- She was actually, no, she was very supportive.

She was like, "You know what, this year's been huge,

"You have to keep working, keep the momentum going.

"You do you."

- He surprised me so it was awesome.

Yeah, I cried.

- Okay, that's enough, bye, go.

- Alright, good bye.

- Bye.

If you want another video with my mom,

I was thinking about filming something

while she's in my presence, so push the thumbs up.

Okay, get away (laughs).

Honey Bee wants to know, "Are there any tips

"tou can give us for becoming a successful Youtuber?"

Okay, so my number one tip is to always be your best self

because obviously you're going to start Youtubing

because you see other people doing it and you're probably

going to be inspired by them.

But, it's just very transparent when you're just not

being authentic to you.

So I always say, "Be the first rate you,

not the second rate somebody else"

because anybody could subscribe to who ever

you're trying to imitate but if they want somebody

just like you, you're the best they're going to find.

So, just do you, I mean that's all I can say.

- Okay, so here's a question,

"Why didn't you freak out when Zayn followed you?

"Meanwhile you made a video when Harry retweeted you?"

Okay, I just want to clear this all up,

This is how it all happened.

I was boarding a plane when Beyonce's album dropped.

I was freaking out because Beyonce's album dropped.

I tweeted Zayn because Zayn's middle name is Beyonce,

so I asked him if he was behind this.

He followed me and direct messaged me about my joke

and then we were talking and then I tweeted about it

and I was freaking out about it.

But I was also on a plane.

Meanwhile when Harry retweeted me,

I was right in front of my computer.

So I could film something but when Zayn followed me,

I could not.

I am not just waiting at my camera

at all times of the day waiting for something

to happen to me so that I can make a reaction video to it.

Also, bigger picture issue of the whole situation

is I have seen a lot of people in the One Direction

fandom get a little bit upset that I have had

some opportunities, that I am very, very grateful

for, but then on the Internet, any time that I talk

about One Direction, a lot of people will say

that I'm using the boys for fame but if I don't talk

about the boys then I'm a bad fake fan.

It's kind of become a conundrum of no matter what I do

in some of these fans' eyes, mind you this is 1%

of the One Direction fandom, I am evil.

So, I have kind of taken it upon myself to just do

whatever the crap I want to do,

and if that pleases you, I don't care.

If it doesn't please you, I don't care.

So, you're going to have to deal with that

because I'm just going to do me.

"Tell me what your feelings are on this picture.

"This is important."

I just feel like if there was a page of the Bible

that would attract me to becoming a Christian,

this would be it.

"Do you think if any other musician would have done what

"Beyonce did, they'd be as successful?"

I think there are a couple of musicians

hat could've done it.

Adele, One Direction, Justin Timberlake maybe,

Lorde could do it.

I don't know, I think Beyonce is just the queen.

And we all must bow down to her.

Her album is fantastic, flawless, is everything.

Go get the album.

I would say go get the album,

but clearly everybody already got the album.

Archita wants to know, "When are you getting new glasses?"

So this is a question that I get asked

like every single day of my life.

I change up my glasses every so often,

but glasses are really expensive.

If you have perfect vision, then you don't know

the struggle that is my life.

I just discovered Warby Parker,

Hannah Hart talked about them in one of her videos.

I was like, "Okay, these are $95 which is so inexpensive."

And when you buy a pair, they give a pair to people in need.

They're just like Toms and I have like ten pairs of Toms.

So clearly I was very attracted to that.

So I reached out to them because I was like,

okay, I wanna talk about them in a video

but I want to give the hook up to you guys.

So I got you guys the hook up.

If you use warbyparker.com/tyleroakley

you get free three day shipping for your glasses

For the at home trial they will send you five pairs

to try on, you don't have to go into a store

and talk to any body.

You get the pairs, you send back them all, you say you want

this one and they'll send you back

your prescription glasses.

It's kind of amazing, you don't have to talk to anybody.

They're perfect for Internet people

because you don't have to talk to any body.

So, if you want free three day shipping,

just use warbyparker.com/tyleroakley.

Here are the five pairs that I picked out.

If you like any of those pairs in particular,

let me know which in the comments below.

And maybe I'll go with your pair.

Samantha wants to know, "Are you participating

"in Project 4 Awesome this year?"

Yes, I am!

I am in the Men of Youtube calendar yet again.

I was in the Men of YouTube calendar last year,

I am in it again this year.

All proceeds go to charities, so the link is below.

It's super cheap and it's got all

your favorite men YouTubers.

Sandraa wants to know, "Are you excited of being nominated

"by MTV for vlogger of the year?"

Yes, this is like crazy insane!

I don't know like 2013 was absolutely, absolutely,

absolutely bonkers.

Being nominated by MTV is a pretty big deal.

If you want to vote for me, there's some pretty stiff

competition, so I would appreciate your vote.

The link to that is below.

Richelle wants to know, "Are you gonna celebrate

"when you hit three million?"

Yes, I am going to celebrate.

Maybe I'll do a live stream and celebrate

with you guys, who knows?

Alex wants to know, "When will you stop with this

"'Ayyyy' shit? And who do I kill for teaching it to you?"

I probably got it from Troy but I probably won't stop.

So, sorry about it!

Tyler Is Flawless wants to know, "What do you

"have to say to the haters overall?"

Ayyyyyyyyyy.

Cassie wants to know, "Do you know how much we love you?"

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

I feel it every single day when I log on to Twitter

and I see you guys' names have something to do

with an inside joke that has something to do about me

or your Twitter icons have me in them

or on Tumblr, you're tagging me in posts

and just like sending me love.

Yes, I notice it, I feel it,

I just want to give it 100% back to you.

My friend T.Kyle wants to know, "Do you ever feel burnout

"creatively - if so, how do you reinspire yourself?"

I feel burnout when I am making videos

I feel like I have to make.

I have always had the rule: Never make a video

you feel obligated to make.

It's kind of kept my burnout to a minimum.

When I do feel it, I just try to be inspired by you guys,

my other content creators and I go back and watch the videos

that made me happiest to make and think

about what can I do that is completely different

but still aligned with what I love to do.

Pornhub, the porn website, would like to know,

"Which member of 1D has the D?"

Well, if I had my way, they would all get the D.

Okay, so that is all I have for you guys this week.

I hope you have a fabulous life

and I will see you guys next time.

I got some big videos coming in December.

A lot of funny things.

Some collaborations that I filmed when I was back in LA.

A collaboration that I'm going to do here.

So stay tuned, push the Like button if you liked it

and subscribe because I'm about to hit three million

subscribers, that's insane.

I appreciate you guys, you guys are amazing.
