James Rallison (born May 14, 1996) is an American artist and YouTuber. Born in Arizona, he is known for his YouTube channel TheOdd1sOut.[2]
Webcomics
Rallison uploaded the first strip of his webcomic TheOdd1sOut on June 14, 2012, on Tumblr[3] and later on iFunny.[4] Throughout his first year of making comics, he played with his style a lot before settling on his current bubble style.[5][6] He still posts webcomics, but he posts much more infrequently than he used to due to most of his time being occupied by YouTube. His last webcomic was posted in May 2017.[7]
YouTube career
On August 30, 2014, around two years after he began to post webcomics, Rallison decided to start making YouTube videos. He originally named his channel theodd1sout comic and uploaded his first video about a book he had made in elementary school. After a few years of steady growth, in April 2016, his channel gained over 278,000 subscribers, giving him a total of over 400,000 subscribers.[8]
His videos about working at Subway, where he comically refers to the food chain as "Sooubway",[9] have been featured on Foodbeast. The website's writer Peter Pham has called the videos "amazing" and "hilarious".[10][11]
In 2016, Rallison created a video to celebrate the birthday that he shared with his twin sister. In 2017, he dumped approximately 3 million sprinkles for his 3 million subscriber milestone, one sprinkle for each subscriber.[12]
In 2017, Dave Trumbore of Collider named Rallison one of five YouTubers who were "poised for mainstream success".[13] In 2018, Kristin Brantley of Culturess reviewed his YouTube channel and webcomics favorably, writing, "You’ll be glued to the screen watching all of these hilarious clips and reading all his great comics."[14]
Rallison created a second channel, TheOdd2sOut, which was a way to upload extra content not involving animation. On April 3, 2018, TheOdd2sOut reached 1 million subscribers.[15] His main channel has since reached over 9.8 million subscribers.
On July 19, 2018, Rallison uploaded his first song on his YouTube channel called "Life is Fun", featuring Boyinaband.[16] He also wrote a book titled The Odd 1s Out: How to Be Cool and Other Things I Definitely Learned from Growing Up, which was released on July 31, 2018.[17][3] It was ranked #12 in the "trade paperback" category on Publishers Weekly's August 13, 2018 bestseller list.[18]
