Nozdordomu's pick: “Zap! I’m Being Dramatic” by ProfesserCheeseBall
The source might be the single most-important ingredient in any good poop. No matter how much you change and edit what you’ve got, it helps if you picked a really exploitable thing to change in the first place. Some people will tell you not to poop sources that are funny on their own, but I disagree with that. Look at all the good King of the Hill poops, for example; it’s entirely possible to turn the show’s dry humor into something a lot less subtle. I say all of this because I want more Ambition poops.
Ambition has a lot of potential as a source. Its awkwardness and lack of common sense lead to some funny moments which could be easily exploited (hopefully not overused), and its cheap Flash animation could be altered in some very funny ways as well. ProfesserCheeseBall seizes most of that potential in “Zap! I’m Being Dramatic,” which plays fast and loose with the Ambition cut scenes, turning Ted, Yale, Duke and friends into high-pitched screaming lunatics. I have to admit, I’ve never been very fond of these types of poops, where sentence mixing goes all over the place and edits rush by too quickly for you to notice. Sometimes that can be annoying, but PCB doesn't overdo it; for example, he doesn’t spam Helen’s scream all over the place, but when it does come, it’s perfect. Overall I find it very enjoyable, if mainly for the way it mangles its underused source.
Crazy Luigi's Pick: "197- West Bitches Treason Sue Episode N(ine)" by Combuskenisawesome
If there's one YouTube Pooper that somehow manages to gain a consistent amount of quality from using a primary source in Pokemon, it's Combuskenisawesome. From the nice little faux TV introduction to the clever transition from Unova to Kanto, you really get a sense of interest out of the video early on. It's further along, however, that you really do get an sense of it holding a good mixture of old and new effects from Professor Oak's three Pokemon mixing themselves up and N repeating that you had to choose from those 3 Pokemon to Cilan being overly sexual with his sayings and having a Charmander accidentally creating a nuclear winter in the process; one particularly favorite part in that process is seeing N speaking a line from the Lion King that actually fit the scene it was working with. It's in the second half, however, that truly helps make it stand out from Ash's flashback on how his Charmander/Charizard story came to be to having his Charizard return with him making fun of his own Pokemon, N explaining to Cilan how Ash's Charizard is rich, using the old "Who's that Pokemon?" sound for the Black & White anime, and even Ash telling Cilan to shut the fuck up after putting up one too many sexual situations in his lines. With all that said, it really is a YouTube Poop that you have to watch in order to understand what I mean here since my words really don't do it enough justice.
HerrVarden's pick: Charlie Brown Becomes a Scientologist by ChristophersThings
So, I've been following ChristophersThings for a while. Why? I don't remember, but I know that he really likes to use KoTH, and make YTPMVs about it. They weren't awful, but I didn't really think much of them when I watched them. This YTP on the other hand has been in my head for a bit. It's got such a good use of pacing and a very "modern classic" style to it that I absolutely enjoy. The times that he makes a joke involving music, it really hits bullseye, especially with the first 40 seconds. The running gag didn't overstay it's welcome and was used quite well. I particularly liked the section where Charlie Brown is going through an existential crisis and seems to be distracted with drawing in the sand as Linus loses touch of reality and his bowel movements. The latter part worked very well, although I would have preferred the last 15 seconds to have appeared early so that the ending would have had more of an impact of Charlie Brown losing grasp of his sanity but it was still worth it to have him sentence-mix Eazy E. YEE-YUUHHH.
Dr. Strangebutts' Pick: SHADOW BLACK FIGHTER SIR (1984) FULL HD by TangerineImpz/Imperade
Whether Impz intended it or not, SHADOW BLACK FIGHTER SIR (1984) FULL HD is a throwback to the poops of 2006 and 2007. The source is Power Rangers Megaforce, like the... 19th or something...th... season of the long running Power Rangers series, a source used by early YouTube Poopers like Yamino, Duke, Tetsuo9999 , 1upClock, Impz himself and heck, even I snuck a few MMPR clips in some of my early stuff. Flashy video effects, multiple audio and video layers being utilized, and complex camera pans... are nowhere to be found. Impz stuck with good ol' (and by "good ol' " of course you know that I really mean "assfucking horrible") Movie Maker Vista to give us this travesty with speed ups, slow downs and repetitions. The end result is surprisingly good! What little I've seen of Megaforce is awful, awful, awful, even by Power Rangers' very low standards. But Impz was able to work his magic and turn pewter into gold. If you're like me -- a longtime pooper or watcher -- or enjoyed styles of pooping that are simplistic, you might just enjoy this: a new video that was made with old tricks.
