Crazy Luigi's Pick: "(YTPoop) AVGN Plays a Bootleg Atari Video Game" by Dioprel
Honestly, there's times where a guy just needs to be a little more simplistic in their approach in order to show off a worthwhile YouTube Poop. In this case, the approach that Dioprel went with here actually makes it work to its advantage. It starts out very simple enough with ear raping and very simplistic sentence mixing and effects; it may not sound like it's worthwhile for your time, but trust me when I say that the further it goes along, the more you'll enjoy it. The beginning actually has a few parts that show the flaws that both the Angry Video Game Nerd and Dioprel himself has in their video, such as how the AVGN kind of forced that "toilet bowl" joke there or how Dioprel did a stutter joke on a Sega Genesis baseball game and ended up going "what the Hell?!" immediately afterwards. However, the further you dive into it, the more you see how underrated it really is. There's a scene that involves the Benny Hill song in it, yet it actually goes at it in the most clever way you would ever envision it to work under. In addition, the AVGN breaking down into madness and then trying to make sure he calms down is one of the few scenes where I could say that I have laughed under every single time I watched it play out in motion. The rest of the YouTube Poop is good to see as well, but for not only getting me to genuinely laugh at a Benny Hill joke for the first time in a long, long time, as well as for creating a scene where I could honestly get a laugh from it every single time it plays, it deserves a spot as one of the best (and underrated) YouTube Poops of July 2013.
Nozdordomu's Pick: "Gwonam's Gweat Adventuwe; or, Dino Time Enough for Love" by NAveryW/WalrusGuy
What do Link: the Faces of Evil, Zelda: the Wand of Gamelon, Super Mario World, MASH, Gargoyles, AI Artificial Intelligence, Dino Time, Hamlet, Islam, Pokemon, facial hair, Subway, assisted suicide, unwanted pregnancy, zoosadism, the apocalypse, and Jerry Bee Seinfeld all have in common? WalrusGuy used them in “Gwonam’s Great Adventuwe.”
It’s hard not to heap praise on WalrusGuy’s new video; it’s a more than welcome surprise to the YouChew community and a great feat in sentence mixing and visual editing. At 8 minutes long, it’s his longest video and his most elaborate story-poop. The story is about our favorite Middle Eastern wizard Gwonam, who’s just dying – literally – to see the legendarily unreleased cartoon Dino Time. The poop cuts back and forth between the “real” world and clips from the film, which looks about as good as it looked in the trailer (i.e. bad). The sentence mixing is pretty much flawless; at one point, the trailer announcer quotes part of the Hamlet soliloquy word-for-word, and at another, Gwonam asks in disbelief, “What has science done?” The visuals look great too, with mustachioed Link slapping a baby and Gwonam showing more facial expression than he ever did in the game. There are too many great little moments to note; the best thing is to see it all for yourself. This video proves that WalrusGuy’s still got it.
HerrVarden's Pick: "The Misadventures of Skooks Part 5/5 feat. Deepercutt" by OrpheusFTW
Ah, the Misadventures of Skooks. Never have I witnessed such anticipation for a series of poops since Captpan6 and Deepercutt tennised each other. OrpheusFTW has often found very creative, impressive and surreal ways to edit videos and this series has served to showcase his abilities in full force. It was great that he happened to get Deepercutt to aid him and the collaboration works well with both of their abilities combined. Now for those of you unaware with the Skooks series, I suggest you watch his older videos, because it'll explain why Shaggy seems to be having bizarre sexual thoughts and why Daphne glitched out when Fred punched here. As well as what's behind Skooks. The faux intro was a wonderful way to start, and Orpheus manages to use that joke enough so that it won't feel too worn out. The actual introduction is a bit more...interesting, shall we say, but it's still great. It's very clever to note that the source they're using is the crossover of Scooby Doo with Batman. Also interesting to note that when Deepercutt is introduced, he makes a joke involving Scooby Doo's special guests. Both of these poopers have a very distinct style of humor present in the poop. Deepercutt's more of the video game referencing, super silly sentence-mixing type with the occasional sight gag and elongated joke for good measure. Orpheus likes more to fill the screen with an array of crazy imagery, ranging from mind-boggling to unnerving, as well as tons of sexual sentence-mixing to boot. Both are timed properly and deliver with a lot of laughs. There was a lot I enjoyed, ranging from the "That's not funny" bit the Joker says, the commercial break, the fight between Skooks and the bad guys and the part where Batman is talking about cookies and group hypnosis, and that's just to name a few instead of saying the whole damn video. It's a marvelous melange of two terrific talents.
Tofucakecan's Pick: "Chao Chow wow" by iamoutofideas1 (youchew)
I sat here watching this video over and over, trying to think of how to describe it in a paragraph or two, but any adjectives or “poopisms” that I could list wouldn’t ever really be able to describe what iamoutofideas has produced. Let’s just say it’s a visual and audio odyssey for the mind that straddles the line between what is and is not Youtube poop. At times you’re bombarded with a variety of layers and graphics that loosely resemble a kaleidoscope, while other segments of the video are reminiscent of a music video. I’d venture to say this falls into the “ambient poop” subgenre, because the focus isn’t really on jokes or how many effects can be used at one time, but more about creating an atmosphere and “bending your mind” a little bit. I particularly enjoyed the segment at 1:07-1:22 where pinch/punch, track motion, and invert are very creatively combined to create something that you’d expect to see in an LSD trip. I also loved the segment of 1:40-2:10 for reasons I can’t fully put into words, other than to call it “an inspired use of layers and compositing modes”. If nothing else, this is a work of video art that your brain will thank you for watching.
If you feel like we may have overlooked or missed out on a favorite YouTube Poop from this last month (especially since that was the month of I.M. Meen's return of sorts), please post a comment talking about the YouTube Poop and why you think it's your favorite in that period of time.
