History WebVideo / CommunityChannel

Community Channel is the Website/YouTube profile used by Natalie Tran, an Australian and UsefulNotes/{{Sydney}} resident of Vietnamese descent, in which she narrates every day events and then dramatices them in skits usually [[DoubleVision playing all the parts herself]]. Sometimes serious but almost always tongue-in-cheek, she will usually point to a common stereotype, trope, or mannerism and will subsequently subvert it in a short skit "because just once I would love it to go down like this". Her sense of humour, [[JustForFun/OneOfUs hobbies]], constant SelfDeprecation, and the fact that she takes the time to talk about the favourite comments left by her video´s viewers at the end of the subsequent videos in the segment "porno music/comment time" has made her one of the most well known and successful youtubers, with a devout fan base, having over a million subscribers. All of this topped by an UsefulNotes/AustralianAccent.

In 2010, she worked with Lonely Planet, travelling the world and making travelogues in a style similar to her Youtube videos.

!!Tropes used by WebVideo/CommunityChannel:

* {{Adorkable}}: If her nerdy collections often shown in her videos aren't any indication, Nat is definitely this.
* AsianAndNerdy: Young Nat. Adult Nat is not that far off.
* BetweenMyLegs: In "Towels and Code".
* BowChickaWowWow: Porno-music-slash-comment-time.
* TheBusCameBack: Disappeared from Website/YouTube for [[ScheduleSlip MORE THAN THREE YEARS]] after her “New Year’s Resolution Police” video, before finally returning with the video “hi” in March 2020. While this is not the first time she has had a lengthy absence, it is easily the longest one. Whether she makes any more videos in a reasonable time frame after this remains to be seen.

* EverythingsCuterWithKittens: She recently got a Russian blue.
* {{Fangirl}}:
** Of ''[[Series/TheOfficeUS Dwight]]'', among other things. Not in a creepy/over-obsessive way, but used for comic references.
** Including, but not limited to ''Franchise/HarryPotter'', ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'', and Creator/JohnGreen.
* MusicalEpisode:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2RzKNCahRg We Just Touched Awkwardly]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9lNm2j7syc Pretend That You Like It]]"
** The latter is about getting a rather [[MyNewGiftIsLame lame]] gift for Christmas.
* NiceGirl: Nat IRL. Despite being a Youtuber even before the term was created, accumulating 500 million views and over 1 million subscribers, maybe even contributing to the creation of the format of vlogging that many modern Youtubers use, and overall just being hilarious, expect Nat to downplay her accomplishments and comment how she's just an average person going about her daily life.

** "Hi", "Porno-music-slash-comment time", [[YourMom Your Mum Rates Me]]

* ProfaneLastWords: Natalie muses that despite most characters having dramatic secrets to reveal (e.g. "Agatha's not dead...!), her last words would mostly likely be something like "....fucking....... hurts..."
* RunningGag: Whenever placeholder words appear in a skit, pausing the video will reveal that it's always a message from Nat to all the people who pause her videos to read the text ("Really, this? You'll even read this??").

* SelfDeprecation:
** Probably every other sentence she says. Most often when she's late (especially if she's several ''months'' late) with a video
** She also has a tendency to feature comments making fun of her and her videos in the porno-music-slash-comment-time at the end of every video
* UncannyValleyMakeup: The abs video and the celebrity makeup video.
* [[YourMom Your Mum]]:
** ...rates me.
** And numerous other riffs on this theme.
