So if you've read the title for this article, you'll notice that we has some videos set up for this July, yet none from this June. You might be asking yourself why it's like that? The truth is we kind of got a bit too busy with other things in our lives to really find some YouTube Poops that helped stand out from others there. The fact that we're looking for some more members after seeing good people like Tofucakecan and zacheatscrackers leave for personal reasons should tell you all you need to know in that regard! However, just because we had a slow start in the past there doesn't mean that we're considered done just yet! In fact, we hope to recover stronger than ever with some better explanations showcasing why we feel these videos are the best of the best throughout the months (and years), as well as seeing what our newest recruiters have for their favorites throughout this timeline. With that said, we hope you enjoy what we thought were the best YouTube Poops released this past month!
Crazy Luigi's Pick: "205- How to not Draw Pikachu with Pokémon Character Art Director Ken Sugimori" by Combuskenisawesome
Sometimes the biggest fun you could make for videos are to manipulate actual film into something that provides very different results, much to your advantage. While many of us love doing that in either visual or audio motives, one of the more underrated effects on a video is manipulating writing on paper into whatever you want there. However, not too many YouTube Poops really do this because not too many people really use sources with people drawing on paper in the first place. In that sense, it is perfectly understandable to not use it under a proper sense; it even takes greater courage to go ahead and use such a source as a means to create some great entertainment out of it. Still, for a guy like Combuskenisawesome (someone that has the proper skills needed to take on such a challenge), he really hits the mark in some very special ways here.
In this video, some of the comedic aspects come from the writing on a picture that shows Pikachu holding a paintbrush that somehow holds the colors that represent the U.S.A. on the brush. Seeing the picture used to represent the video is one example on how it would be used properly, but there's also the beginning part where it tries to play its motives straight... only to then lose itself a bit due to Ken Sugimori being a bit inactive at first. When he does end up starting out drawing the Pikachu, he ends up being more mischievous with his efforts by first drawing an underdeveloped ass and then a small Digimon character that's trying to pretend to be Pikachu here. After that, it continues with the aforementioned Pikachu picture wondering if his problem involves the thousands, if not millions of Pokémon porn pictures that can be found on the Internet, with Ken writing down the payoff that truly makes you want to laugh under a great fashion! It then becomes even more glorious when Ken does decide to draw a Pikachu and almost finishes it up in the process.
However, as much as I like talking about the stuff done on that piece of paper and that Pikachu paintbrush picture saying stuff, some of the things that really make this one of the best YouTube Poops from this July came from the shifts of musical tones done throughout the video. After the fun looking introduction with some comedy involved (which involves an explosion, Pikachu sliding too far, and some sentence mixing stuff), we have some musical cues helping set the tone of the video up. It starts out innocuous enough, but the shifts in tone help showcase how screwy some things appear to be. The primary music highlight comes from when Ken goes from drawing what he was supposed to draw to the aforementioned Digimon character, but the tone really helped set itself apart from other videos this month. In the world of YouTube Poop, it can be pretty easy to set up effects and sentence mixing abilities to help make a YouTube Poop shine, but it truly takes a master to make something work with limited resources at hand. For Combuskenisawesome, he has had the skills over the years to truly make his videos more noticeable than almost a good majority of other YouTube Poop makers; for that, I salute you, my good friend!
HerrVarden's Pick: "Robotnik, in victor stupri" by Nineroe
A long long time ago when I was an inexperienced Internet-goer, I stumbled upon the world of YouTube Poop. The first YouTube Poop I can vividly remember was a Captain Planet episode with handle-bar mustache Hitler fucking the Captain to the tune of Ludacris's verse on Unpredicatable. Then came Igiulamam and then finally was the trifecta of Robotnik Poopers (Boggidyboo, Wikiwow and Stegblob). Once I came across them, I soon understood not only the appeal of the source but how well one could use it to bring tons of laughs. It has been a while since I've seen something reminiscent of that style, and I can't say that there aren't lot of good Robotnik Poops out there that have come after the early days. There just aren't as many that take a similar approach. This particular entry though manages to be both a classic return to that and at the same time a giant leap in the other direction.
Most of the editing is kept simple (slow downs, speed up, stutters, repetition, random audio clips added in with the proper visuals, etc.) and relies on a lot of repetition, but the editing picks up quite fast and the repetition is treated a lot more like a running gag as opposed to an element that the video has to rely on. Nineroe makes good to focus on certain parts of the show that few people constantly mock and edit them in a way that brings the same amount of laughs as the older jokes involving the source material (see 0:24 - 0:41 as a critical example of this). The running gags, mainly that of Robotnik getting on his Egg-O-Matic as well as him saying the word egg works wonderfully throughout the video and the occasional inclusion of a more extravagant effect (such as the wheel of insult, as well as the celebration afterwards) is timed perfectly. It was also nice that there is a part of a video dedicated to the voice of Sonic, Jaleel White and that all the mannerisms that are exploited are mangled in just the right way to provide the most entertainment. Yet by far the best part is having Robotnik don the voice of Joe Pesci because now it makes me want to imagine the good doctor in Goodfellas. What this video does in the end is add a jolt to the classic way and adds a few new techniques to spice it up further. I'm just glad that this was not only a great YouTube Poop but also reminded me of how I came along such a wonderful pastime.
thebluespectre's Pick: "CD-i: Gwonam Screws with Link's Perception of Reality" by DinnerWarrior
There is always more fun to squeeze out of the Zelda CD-i games, as long as you can mix sentences- and mixing sentences in CD-i is incredibly easy. The music stops whenever anyone speaks, the audio is the right blend of clear and fuzzy to splice into anything you want, and everyone is so wonderfully hammy. Sentence mixing is an unusual editing technique to use for art, since its most common use is to make reality television contestants seem more like asshats than they actually are, but this banality is what makes sentence mixing such a powerful tool of comedy. By making a mockery out of the very techniques used to appeal to and patronize television viewers, mashups like these have a universal connection to all of us, even if we've never played or even heard of Link: The Faces of Evil or Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon.
In this case, the magical courier and game hint supplier Gwonam suddenly changes from a flamboyant fortune teller to a philosophical solipsist dedicated to tearing your perception of reality a new one. Almost no new words are created; everything he says is in the game in one form or another, with few exceptions. Few new animations are added, instead letting the theatrical movements of the characters speak for themselves, every frame picked apart for exactly what the artist needed. It is a strangely elegant Poop (a rare sentence indeed), minimalist in an artistic genre dedicated to embracing noise. Plus, CD-i Link kind of had this coming for a while now, he's not exactly the sharpest sword in the armory so to speak.
And with that, we conclude another personal recommendations we had throughout this past month. If a favorite YouTube Poop that you had released this past month didn't make the cut, feel free to showcase why that might be the case there. Beyond that, if you feel you have the motivation to find some great YouTube Poops under a particular time period (i.e., months or years) that you want to talk about, we are always ready to hear from you and find out if you have the chops to join us under what we do best. If YouTube Poops help make you strive for greatness here, then it might very be your time to shine with us soon enough.
