YouTube is known the world over for its funny cat videos, viral sneezing pandas, music videos and short-form content and personalities, but after the likes of
Amazon, Netflix, Hulu and even
Sony PlayStation producing their own original, critically-acclaimed content, you knew it wouldn't be long before the
Google-owned video channel was producing its own movies and TV shows, for a fee of course.
YouTube has spent the last two years building up the profile of its online celebrities and shows with outdoor advertising, like these
billboards for Video Game High School, these
Grace Helbig and Hannah Hart YouTube billboards and these
Tyler Oakley and Lilly Singh YouTube billboards.

Now the video streaming platform has launched
YouTube Red, a new paid-for monthly subscription service allowing members-only to view original series and films from top
YouTubers mostly ad free.

Some of the first offerings include
A Trip to Unicorn Island, a documentary film following vlogger sensation
Lilly Singh aka
'IISuperwomanII' on her world tour, a horror series starring the most popular
YouTuber, 'PewDiePie', recreating classic video game situations in
Scare PewDiePie, and
Lazer Team from
Rooster Teeth, a sci-fi comedy about four losers who discover some alien technology and have to protect the planet, which already received a limited theatrical release.
These
YouTube Red original movie and series billboards, including the giant-sized
A trip to Unicorn Island, were photographed in multiple locations along
Sunset Boulevard on February 15, 2016, whilst the theatrical release billboard for
Lazer Team was snapped above the
Sunset Strip on January 13, 2016
What do you think? Are you ready to start paying to watch your favourite
YouTubers instead of just putting up with countless ads, or is there already enough TV being produced at the moment to satisfy your entertainment cravings.

Meanwhile
Lilly Singh's giant
Unicorn Island billboard was replaced with this super-sized ad creative for new original series,
Prank Academy.

Jesse M. Wellens and
