While we were supposed to have an article for just the April YouTube Poops only, we at the staff decided to focus more on looking into individual Poops or Poopers, which ended up letting us forget about the actual article for April. As a result, we've decided to merge the favorites from April with our favorites in May!
Crazy Luigi's Picks: PAY YOUR GODDAMN BILLS by Stuart K. Reilly/MustangSally72 (April)
While April of 2013 might have been the month of WalrusGuy due to his YouTube Poop with Arthur, no one ended up releasing a video as unique as Stuart K. Reilly. This video has practically everything you would ever really want in a YouTube Poop; old sources, new sources, ear rape, sentence mixing, visual gags, and much more. However, three primary sources involved that help make it push the boundaries more than any other YouTube Poop that I've seen thus far this year are Stuart's usage on the New Kids on the Block DiC cartoon, the Rap Rat board game videos, and the Ludwig Von Drake cartoons. With the New Kids on the Block cartoon, it shows how the ridiculousness of the New Kids on the Block going to high school and doing homework while the adults do pretty much nothing other than maybe play video games truly becomes. Rap Rat, on the other hand, takes the spastic nature of the rat in question and uses it in many different ways from being a video game to being a victim to even being the devil itself! However, nothing truly stood out in this video more than the cartoons involving Ludwig Von Drake, as it takes the cartoons' serious, yet light-hearted nature and mocks in many useful and unique ways. All those effects and sources end up combining together to make one of the best YouTube Poop videos of this year thus far!
May: Manwith10hats Loses His Segases in the Wash Machine by ProfessorCheeseBall
May of 2013 might have been... shall we say for the most part uninteresting, but the one person that ended up bringing a shining beacon of light on a dull little period was ProfessorCheeseBall! In a month where nothing (at least to me) truly stood out among other videos that came out around that time, ProfessorCheeseBall wound up making a video that would catch my attention from the very start all the way until the very end. The effects flowed smoothly, the jokes felt funny, and what was perhaps the most important thing for me was that the video did not grind to huge sudden halts for some odd reason. Some of this is helped out by the home-made videos done by the well-known (former) YouChew user Manwith10toes, which hold the same amount of ridiculousness as many of us like to see in some of our sources, only it's more intentional. Even with the intentional silliness at hand, it still makes for what I consider the best YouTube Poop for May of 2013.
HerrVarden's Picks: YTP: Greg Despsies Being Himself by Crimsonman5 (APRIL)
This is a bit of an interesting video in the sense that it's pace is much more frantic. The speed goes slow and fast and the jokes are quite varied, but they're arranged properly. For example, the stutters following the quick laughter and the masking worked really well. In fact, a lot of the uses of masking throughout the video were used very well and added the overall absurdity. I loved the intro, mainly because it reminded me of Run Kayne Run on crack. Whilst the volume was an issue at first, I found that it would make the ear rapes and distorted sounds more effective. That could also just be an editing issue, but in that case it's a delightful accident. It was a great move to use Garbage Pail Kids as a source, mainly considering just how insane and horrible the aforementioned source is. It was great how Crimsonman5 made the sentence mixing with the sourcing. The parts with Garbage Pail Kids really sold the video, particularly with the Wii U bit. Still, the rest did well enough, since it built up the clusterfuck of effects. The running gag of running (HA!) was played greatly throughout the video. Even if in a general sense the video feels like it does not follow the conventional transition movement in a poop, the content present is enough to make up for it.
MAY: The Severe Multiple Personality Issues of Adolf Hitler by ChemistryGuy and Co.
This time I've decided to post an entire collab as my favorite YTP of the month. Simply put, the idea is marvelous. Make fun of the mustached, goose-stepping, Sieg Heiling madman that stormed through Europe like he was cock of the walk. There was a lot of great things going on, with Chemistryguy's sentence-mixing, EmperorLemon having the Brodyquest music play as Hitler invades nations, the Kony 2012 video made out to look like Nazi propaganda, the usage of the Bugs Bunny propaganda video by SuperSpyro3000, FriedRice2009 making Downfall's Hitler speak to a crazy Tony Montana, LinkOnDrugs and Likety's contribution, ManMonocle syncing up old footage of the Fuhrer having fun to "Putting It On The Ritz", the ending and many other wonderful moments. Everyone involved really had a good sense of what to do to make the best they could and Chemistryguy's editings of their collaborations made the timing all the more impeccable. It was just great seeing how differently people tried to make Adolf look like an assclown. It's just good ol' Nutzi fun.
Tofucakecan's Picks: Pac-Man Eats Muslim Children in Koran Recitation with Lords of Acid in Background by Prophet Mohammad/__7MtojvtKfv__ (April)
How could I describe this video without saying anything the title didn't already say? This poop won't win any awards for crazy effects or memorable "poop" innovations, but I don't think there's another poop out there like this and it deserves some recognition for its "balls". Some people may be turned off because it is arguably insensitive to Islam, but others will likely appreciate it's "South Park-ian" approach to humor (ie: either everything is okay to make fun of, or nothing is). I admire artists (no matter what the medium) who have the guts to toe the line and dare us to laugh at things that we're "not supposed to laugh at". Although freedom of speech isn't something that comes up often in YTP, everyone deserves the chance to make their statement (even if its an unpopular one). This poop makes me think of others that make similarly "shocking" videos (like ones using 9/11 footage in a poop) and for that reason I think it is important that videos like these exist. Their artistic merit may be debatable, but when I see something like this it makes me thankful that I'm in a country that doesn't censor what is available on the internet, for whatever the reason. Love it or hate it, videos like this help make sure that everyone gets to say what they want.
May: The Commercial Collab by Bloodis & Co.
HerrVarden isn't the only one that chose a collaboration this month. I've always had a soft spot for commercials, both as entertainment and as pooping material. Perhaps it's because they're so similar to poops. They're usually fast paced, short, and have to get your attention quickly. Memorable characters usually abound, and scripts are often so odd they're just begging to be pooped. Enter "The Commercial Collab": Twenty minutes of "Commercial" poops. To start off, there are some great names that contributed like Chief Doggingfood, MountainDewMann, and CorruptionSound. If that isn't enough to get you to press play, most of the entries are filled with some ridiculous yet hilarious sentence mixing. Some of my favorites include SassPD22's entry (which centers around old Chevy Corvair commercials and Bill Cosby's New Coke commercial), MAZZ0murder's ad for "Power Rangers Mega Meat", and I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but thewoof's "Genital Mutilation Barbie" had me laughing pretty hard as well. There is too much good material here for me to describe it all, so just make us all happy and watch it... Clitoris refills sold separately.
If you feel like we may have overlooked or missed out on a favorite YouTube Poop from the last two months, please post a comment talking about your favorite YouTube Poop in either April or May 2013 and why you think it's your favorite in that period of time.
