Quick Clicks: Ryan Higa 3M Subscribers, Zombie Holiday, ‘Temp Life’, ‘NOTZK’, ‘The Guild’

Ok, ok, settle down web video fans, “Quick Clicks” is back by popular demand. (Who knew, you fine readers actually prefer reading fewer words per story..)

Ryan Higa, aka nigahiga, the number 1 most subscribed channel on YouTube officially cracked the 3 million subscriber mark, making his the first ever channel to do so. It comes just a year after taking over the top spot from longtime topper Fred

The Temp Life is still the longest running branded entertainment series thanks to generous sponsor Spherion, and Season 5 of the temp agency spoof web series doesn’t show signs of trailing off.

Not to mention The Bannen Way’s Mark Gantt, Squatters’ Brendan Bradley, The Legend of Neil’s Sandeep Parikh and new regular Craig Beirko. [Temp Life on MyDamnChannel]
