Best fonts for thumbnails?

Bebas nueueueueue with a bit of a drop shadow to make it stand out. Maybe even add a tasteful gradient if you're in the mood, and if it matches the rest of your thumbnail.
 
Bold fonts that stand out are probably your best bet, unless the font absolutely matches the theme of the thumbnail.
 
Avengeance Mightiest Avenger and Komika Axis are two good fonts that I use. Gamers and other Tubers alike use those.
 
You could always choose one font for your channel and just use it on all your thumbnails. It gives out impression that your channel is one unique brand. Just choose something that describes you and your channel. I know that that might be difficult to do with just letter shapes, but it's worth it.
 
Go to google type in free fonts there are many fonts and find something you like download and install then in PS you can use the drop shadow and the stroke effects to the text and it should come up nice!!

Impact
Anime Ace Bold (or a similar comic-book type font)
... or any fonts that are thick, bold and impactful. All caps can work with short phrases too.

I think what also works is having white/yellow text, then add a black rectangle behind the text.

I like chunkier fonts the most myself for thumbnails as most of them are easy to read, skinny fonts tend to blend too easily into the thumbnail imagery and its harder to make it stand out. I use dafont most of the time too.
