The two longer videos somewhat rely on the unexpected for their laughs; working around that, here are descriptions of each video. Do you think the descriptions would help engage viewers?
Father: A son, apart from his father for many years, returns home to his father’s mansion to restore the intimacy of their relationship. As context, imagine you told your father to listen to this for Father’s Day, for this was their present.
Documentary: A satire of serious public radio news stations: the modern expectations parents have of their children is taken to a logical and absurd extreme.
Donerly: A parody of the character and substance of reality television programming. Donerly is a vulgar figure, prone to foul language—be advised.
Silly Things: Mini-parodies of the common types of voice overs. These are, in order: sales; promotions; quickly relating terms of service; avant-garde marketing; IVR; two normal people like you having a conversation; and a jingle that isn’t selling what you were expecting.
Making money would be amazing, but is not the primary goal. These files will be made regardless of whether there is a YouTube channel hosting them, and YouTube seems the ideal platform with which to achieve the secondary goal of monetising the files.
The bare minimum purpose is to have work that can be hyperlinked. That bare minimum has already been met. However, seeing a video with very few views, or many views and few likes, does not signal positive things. It would be wonderful to be able to hyperlink these files in contexts where sending a positive signal is a necessity.
Spare time is being spent to market and try to monetise the files; ideally, this effort will result in a moderately sized audience that likes the files. These are the goals of the project. If you have more promising ideas, please share them.
You fail to say what the videos are about. That’s bad for any venue that you want to market.

You don’t articulate a purpose.
If your goal is to make money, starting a comedy youtube channel doesn’t seem to be the obvious choice. There’s lot’s of competition and little money.
After giving more thought to this: Have you other suggestions that immediately come to mind aside from professional voice acting?
There are many job in this world. I don’t know enough about you to know which one would be the best to earn money.

Why? What your purpose for creating them?
Fun.
