YTP Maker

A YouTube Poop (YTP) is a type of video mashup or edit created by remixing/editing pre-existing media sources, often carrying subcultural significance into a new video for humorous, nonsensical, random, vulgar, satirical, obscene, absurd, profane, annoying, confusing, or dramatic purposes. YouTube Poops are traditionally uploaded to the video sharing website YouTube, hence the name.[1]

History Precursors and influences YouTube Poop is a subset of remix culture,[2] in which existing ideas and media are modified and reinterpreted to create new art and media in various contexts.[3] Forms of remix culture have existed long before the internet, with DigitalTrends's Luke Dormehl listing the cut-up technique of William Burroughs and sampling in hip-hop as examples.[4] Dormehl also says that "aesthetically", YouTube Poop is similar to the "frenetic editing style" of MTV in the 1980s, which featured "fast, non-linear cuts" that focused less on character or plot than on evoking a feeling.[4]

YouTube Poop also draws on elements from the vidding scene,[5] in which fans of a piece of media would create music videos using footage from the work.[6] Observers have also proposed influences from a more modern, internet-based practice similar to vidding, the anime music video (AMV) – particularly from more comedic variations of the AMV.[7]

Early history and "golden age" The genre began in the early 2000s.[8] The first video to be regarded as a YouTube Poop is named "The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 REMIXED!!!" (which has been renamed to "I'D SAY HE'S HOT ON OUR TAIL") by the creator SuperYoshi, uploaded on December 22, 2004, preceding the creation of YouTube by a few months.[4] It remixes clips from the 1990 animated television series The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 as a primary source,[4] using the video editing software Windows Movie Maker.[9] Media scholar Randall Halle suggests that the name "poop" as used to refer to videos like SuperYoshi's referred to the purported low quality of these early works.[9]

Throughout the mid-to-late 2000s, YouTube Poops were one of the most popular types of video on YouTube.[10] YouTuber EmpLemon describes this era as being characterized by popular recurring memes and in-jokes in the community.[4] According to Halle, the 2010 video "jonathan swift returns from the dead to eat a cheese sandwich" has been cited as "a work that moved YTP towards artistry", with heavy use of video in video editing and other methods of distortion.[9]

Decline in mainstream popularity The YouTube Poop genre declined in popularity during the late 2010s.[8] eMarketer principal analyst Nicole Perrin speculated that the reason why the genre had "fallen to the wayside" was as part of a larger YouTube "shift to glossier more corporate-friendly content."[11]

Luke Dormehl wrote in 2019 in relation to this loss of mainstream popularity that "as with every other corner of the internet", YTP had undergone fragmentization from a large single community with a shared set of sources into a series of sub-communities, each with their own preferred source material. However, this has also allowed each individual sub-community to develop its own set of convoluted "references-within-references" even further.[4] Additionally, YTP has followed the general YouTube trend of increasing professionalization and editing, with lots of special effects and elaborate writing.[4][12]

YTP has had a significant influence on memes and Internet culture.[4] Many stylistic traits of YTP have entered the editing vocabulary of mainstream YouTubers, such as rapid editing and sudden drastic changes in volume for comedic effect.[12] Many mainstream YouTubers even hire YTP editors to edit their normal videos.[12]

Style and techniques Structure, culture and subgenres Some videos may involve completely or partially repurposing sources to create or convey an often self-aware story, while others follow a non-linear narrative, and some may contain no storyline at all, instead regarded among the lines of surreal humor and artistic experimentation.[5] To this degree, a YouTube Poop may even consist solely of an existing video, sometimes modified, repeated in a slowed or remixed loop.[13] Associate professor of cultural anthropology at Kansas State University, Michael Wesch, has defined YouTube Poops as "absurdist remixes that ape and mock the lowest technical and aesthetic standards of remix culture to comment on remix culture itself".[14]

YTP can often be derivative in the sense that the work of one creator (or, within the community, pooper) is sometimes used as the underlying work for another video; this can be recirculated and lead to the creation of "YTP tennis" videos, named for how they exist in rounds where the original video accumulates edits and alterations. Lawrence Lessig, Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, compared this aspect to a form of call and response, here seen as being prominent within remix culture.[15]

A YTP "collab", or collaboration, is a common practice, and involves various creators joining to produce a single, sometimes very long, video.[9]

A subgenre of YouTube Poops is YouTube Poop music video (YTPMV), which involves clips from different forms of media remixed in a musical form, often in a fast-paced and editing-intensive manner.[7]

Source material While essentially any audiovisual media is "fair game" for source material,[11] some of the most common sources of YouTube Poops include movies, television shows, anime, cartoons, commercials, or other YouTube videos.[16] Among the most popular sources are 1990s cartoons, particularly critically disregarded ones such as Super Mario World and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.[17][10] The work of children's poet Michael Rosen has also been used.[18] These diverse media sources, from different time periods and styles, are often combined in YTPs.[19]

The cutscenes from Nintendo games released on the Philips CD-i—most notably Hotel Mario and Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, which received mixed reception at the time of their release but have been retrospectively criticized for low-quality animation, voice acting, and scripts—are also frequently used, and have achieved more widespread notoriety as a result.[5]

Editing techniques A typical YouTube Poop uses visual and auditory effects to alter the underlying work, as well as rearrangement of individual clips.[5] The edits are often "abrupt and jarring", with lots of quick cuts and time stretching leading to an "often-frenetic" pace.[16] Ruth Alexandra Moran interprets the style as producing "aesthetics of malfunction".[20]

The most common type of rearrangement is "sentence-mixing", a form of editing in which dialogue is rearranged or chopped up to form new, often humorous or vulgar dialogue.[4][8] One famous sentence-mix from the YouTube Poop "Robotnik Has a Viagra Overdose" by creator Stegblob takes a scene from an episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog titled "Bogey-Mania" in which Doctor Robotnik accuses his henchmen of "snooping as usual" and cuts out everything but the second and third syllable to leave only the nonsensical word "pingas", which was construed to resemble the word "penis". Over the years, "Pingas" has since become one of the biggest memes related to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise in general and has been referenced in both the Archie comic and the Sonic Boom television series.[10] In an interview, Sonic the Hedgehog co-star James Marsden was asked a question about the word, in which he erroneously guessed that it was Doctor Robotnik's original catchphrase.[21]

Some techniques are more abrasive, like the "stutter loop", in which a short clip of video is repeated over and over.[4][8] An abrasive auditory trope is the sudden extreme increase in volume to shock the viewer, known as "ear-rape" or "earrape".[8][10][12]

Copyright and fair use As YouTube Poop is a medium built on repurposing copyrighted media, it has been particularly vulnerable to copyright law.[4] YouTube Poops have often been subject to copyright claims on YouTube.[8] Political scientist and author Trajce Cvetkovski noted in 2013 that, despite Viacom filing a copyright infringement lawsuit against YouTube in 2007 explicitly concerning YouTube Poops, in particular "The Sky Had a Weegee" by Hurricoaster, which features scenes from the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Shanghaied" and Weegee (a satiric caricature based on Nintendo's Luigi as he appears in the DOS version of Mario Is Missing!), it and many others have remained on YouTube.[22]

Copyright law in the United Kingdom allows people to use copyrighted material for the purposes of parody, pastiche, and caricature without being seen as infringing on the copyright of the material.[23] Copyright owners are only able to sue the parodist if the work is perceived as communicating hateful or discriminative messages, and modifying the intended purpose of the copyright owner's material. If the case is then taken to court, judges are advised in jurisdictional terms to decide whether the video meets these criteria.

Appearance: YouTube Poop or commonly known as YTP for short, is a method of video editing, which became more popular as the success of the video portal, YouTube, grew. As it became the most popular video uploading website ever, it was only natural that these strange creations would be posted, and though they are now created for humor, they were originally upIoaded as an in-joke between like a a caca u pipi of friends. To make them, all one really requires is some downloaded video and a video editor, although other things can aIso be added such as music and memes.

The definition of "YouTube Poop" is often disputed amongst fans of its creations and creators. For example, in Rocketboom's "Know Your Meme" series (Weegee episode, 7 August 09), they stated that "YouTube Poop are clips of cartoons and other assorted junk strung together to form nonsensical moving images on YouTube."

Contents 1 How it's Made 2 History of YouTube Poop 3 Other Language YTPs 4 Variations How it's Made YouTube Poop is a series of videos made by multiple Youtubers which consists of sources such as cartoons, TV shows, movies, video games, advertisements, etc. The Poopers, or YouTubers that specialize in making YTP content, put these sources in video editing software such as Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere and mess around with it to create something that is usually nonsensical and random. There are a number of fads and subtypes of poop (story-based, SpaDinner, etc.), but many of them revolve around these principles.

It is generally agreed, however, that "YouTube Poop" does not refer to YouTube Poop sources set to music a la AMVs.

History of YouTube Poop There are multiple precursors to what would become YTP found throughout various media. The earliest example of "proto-YTP" is the Warner Brothers cartoon Daffy Duck in Hollywood, made in 1938. The "movie" (an edited film reel) that was created by Daffy and shown at the climax of the short displays many characteristics of YTP content such as reversing clips, overdubbing, and so on. A more bizarre example comes from an attack advertisement made by Richard Nixon against Hubert Humphrey during the 1968 presidential campaign. This ad bears a more surprising similarity to what would be used for modern and early YTP conventions. YTPs themselves can also be compared to the Dada movement, which was a World War I response that rejected common rationality.

The most commonly told story of YTP's creation originated with the YouTuber SuperYoshi, who was using Windows Movie Maker that, at the time, was a new editing software that come with a new installation of Windows XP and Windows NT 5.0. SuperYoshi tested the new software by using the episode "Recycled Koopa" from the Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon. The result would be a video using a few clips from the episode that often repeated and were used randomly, much like the YTP content that would follow soon after. On December 22, 2004, the test was posted as a video on his SheezyArt page, titled "The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 Remixed." The video would receive positive reception with the few folks who seen it, leading SuperYoshi and his friend RetroJape to collaborate on similar "remixes" using both the Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon and later Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. The first three YTPs that would officially be posted to YouTube later on would be I'D SAY HE'S HOT ON OUR TAIL, Dr. Light's Guidance System Show, and Robotnik's Sodomy Fest of 2005.

The term of "YouTube Poop" was coined by YouTuber Yaminomalex, who described what he did with his friends as "uploading poop to YouTube." The term was heavily criticized by a few members of the YouTube community, going so far as having some of them try to change it all together. Despite this backlash, the term stuck and shaped YTP to what it is today.

With the increase in popularity of YTPs shifting from videos solely made to confuse others (which was the original intention of YTP) to more modern changes such as adding stories to YTP and the growing use of more advanced software in later years.

Other Language YTPs Despite YTP being a primarily English phenomena, there are multiple YTPs that are made in other languages.

RYTP (Russian YouTube Poop) German YouTube Poop/YouTube-Kacke [literal translation] (German YouTube Poop) YTPH (Spanish YouTube Poop/YouTube Poop Hispano) YTPBR (Brazilian Portuguese YouTube Poop/YouTube Poop Brazil) STP (SinäTuubaPaska or "You Tuba Shit"/ Finnish YouTube Poop) These YTPs, though still a part of the YTP community, are yet to be officially recognized among the English side of YTP. In spite of this, many of these YTPs formed memes that are used in their respective sides and continue to exist today.

Variations Variations of YTPs (Note: Those variations mostly exists in other languages):
