Youtube.com/pronunciationbook is the original channel. That user is serious and gets most words correct. Youtube.com/pronunciationmanual and youtube/com/pronunciationguide is tied to the FYAD forum at somethingawful.com, and was set up to parody pronunciationbook. Pronunciationmanual's mispronunciations are deliberate (as it's a parody). The video cards for all of the words he is pronouncing are modeled after the pronunciationbook user's cards (I believe some are the exact same and he just changed the URL at the bottom). You can see that pronunciationbook was a Youtube user a year earlier than pronunciationmanual, and had been uploading videos for that year.
