Rallison uploaded the first strip of his webcomic TheOdd1sOut on June 14, 2012, on Tumblr[5] and later on iFunny.[6]

YouTube career

On August 30, 2014, Rallison started his YouTube channel called theodd1sout comic. He started publishing animated videos in which he talks about his life story, his thoughts and opinions. 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.[7]

His videos about working at Subway, where he comedically refers to the food chain as "Sooubway",[8] have been featured on Foodbeast. The website's writer, Peter Pham, has described Rallison's videos as "amazing" and "hilarious".[9][10]

In 2017, Dave Trumbore of Collider named Rallison one of five YouTubers who were "poised for mainstream success".[11] 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."[12]

On December 2, 2017 Rallison created a second channel, TheOdd2sOut, in which he uploads extra content not involving animation. On April 3, 2018, TheOdd2sOut reached 1 million subscribers.[13]

On July 19, 2018, Rallison uploaded his first song on his YouTube channel called "Life is Fun", featuring Boyinaband[14] which has over 54.8 million views.

In 2018 he was nominated on 8th Streamy Awards in Animated category[15][16].

His animated character appeared in the credits scene of YouTube Rewind: The Shape of 2017 and in the universally panned YouTube Rewind 2018: Everyone Controls Rewind where he has a speaking role.[17]

On January 24, 2019, Rallison's main channel reached 10 million subscribers.[13]
