When I found out that Troom Troom, a weird company that makes even weirder videos, made
a second channel called “WooHoo”, I thought I had my work cut out for me.
“It’s just Troom Troom!
How bad could it be?”
I asked, unknowingly and handsomely.
But then I watched a couple of videos on this new channel, and it turns out the answer is
. . . pretty bad.
Like, actually pretty bad.
Deeply pretty bad.
It was to the point where I really had to ask myself: is this something that I want
to put on my channel and profit off of?
Wait, they got 12 million views in one day?
Now, I actually tried following Troom Troom crafts in another video, but then they copyright
claimed me.
Except the footage they claimed was my footage, so I guess I followed their tutorial really
well.
Anyway, let’s watch this WooHoo video called “I Dare You Challenge”.
Let’s do a dare challenge!
Pick a dare, then do it . . . unless you are scared!
Okay?
Um, okay?
Like, did I ask?
Did we need the extra peer pressure?
I like how these videos are marketed towards actual children but she’s just like:
Hey kid!
You better follow our video, otherwise you’re weak.
And scared.
And Santa Claus is going to die.
And your parents are gonna get divorced.
So follow our life hacks today!
Alright!
Let’s let this cute white rat loose under your shirt.
Hmm . . . no?
Better idea, why don’t you leave that rat alone!
You think he just wants to rummage around under some random girl’s shirt?
What if he’s not even into girls!
Also, can we talk about how many conflicting emotions are happening in this one screenshot?
I feel like I pretty much experienced each one of these emotions separately, while watching
this video.
How long will you make it with a rodent in your clothes?
About 21 years.
That’s enough!
Get it away from me!
What is that voice acting?
That’s enough!
I can’t tell if like, I’m amused by this, or actually terrified.
But to be fair, I make that noise five seconds into any Troom Troom video.
They play the little intro animation and I’m like:
That’s enough!
Get it away from me!
I can’t do it anymore!
Also can we please talk about how dirty this guy’s phone screen is?
I know it’s like pointless and pretty rude to bring up, but, um
When has that ever stopped me?
How’d you let something get this crusty?
Take a look at your screen, it’s disgusting.
Was it just me, or did that kind of flow?
Like, did I just spit bars?
Yeah buddy!
Your phone is disgusting!
Wait, should a make a diss track . . . on Troom Troom?
Nah.
Besides, I just realized, that’s not dirt, it’s his reflection.
Anyway, I’m not trying this one.
You need to walk with your eyes closed and guess what you’re stepping on!
First of all, that’s just gross.
Secondly, why would you waste perfectly good potato chips, and those look like barbecue
chips.
Do you know how much MSG are in those?
They’re delicious.
Oh?!
Is this someone’s pet?!
Oh jeez!
I hope it’s not alive!
Wait, what?
That’s what you hope?
Not “I hope I didn’t step on your pet”.
No, she’s like “I’m fully aware of what I just did, intentionally.
I was just hoping it was already dead.
Because it is now”.
Ok, first the rat, and then this?
I’m calling PETA.
Peeta . . . where’s Peeta?
Peeta . . . PEETA!
Aw, they didn’t answer.
They were probably busy euthanizing animals or something.
Anyway, I’m not trying that one either.
The next task is to walk around on a hot summer day wearing heavy winter clothes.
Okay now they’re just personally attacking me.
I wear winter clothes in the summer, like, a lot.
Huh?
Swap clothes with someone?
Now this will be interesting.
Oh my gosh!
This is the most stylish couple in town!
Together, let those legs shine!
Did she just . . . Okay, you do realize that that’s called groping, right?
And if he had done that to her . . . um, but because she did it to him . . . it’s funny?
Anyway I’m not trying that.
Let’s test your brutality.
Guys, I dare you to rip a waxing strip off your leg!
Alright, so, I think it’s pretty safe to admit at this point that nothing in this video
is worth trying.
But just to make sure, let’s just go through a list of all the activities that they’re
encouraging their child audience to try.
You ready for some ASMR?
Shoving a rat down your shirt.
Walking across trash.
Dressing warmly in the summer.
Groping your friends.
Waxing your legs.
Doing the cinnamon challenge in 2019.
Tragic.
Putting clothespins on your face.
Is this really all the evolution of humanity led to?
What else, pour living maggots on your feet.
Blend everything in your fridge, and drink it.
Pull the hair out of your shower drain and rub it on your bo—
Wait, what?
Pull the hair out of your shower drain and rub it on your body?
What?
Lick your own own feet.
Eat weird meat.
And . . . That’s it.
Did you like today’s challenge?
Comment below what you’d do if someone dared you.
Now I hate to say this, but that was actually one of the better videos on their channel.
Like, take a look at their other videos’ runtimes.
Imagine having this many videos on your channel that are exactly ten minutes long.
They’re literally just making them long enough so they can stick an ad break in the
middle.
This is the bare minimum of the bare minimum when it comes to YouTube content.
What I’m trying to say here is I feel like they’re copying me and I don’t appreciate
it.
Let’s watch this exactly ten minute video called “15 easy ways to make your video
viral / greatest video tricks”.
Do you want to make your hair look interesting?
Put your head on the sofa.
Start filming and move your head smoothly.
Wait, so step one is . . . already have friends?
You know, suddenly I’m starting to feel like this tutorial isn’t going to work out
for me.
Let’s film two people jumping into the pool.
Water changed us!
If these are the “Greatest Video Tricks”, then the art of special effects is dead, and
WooHoo killed it.
Using a GoPro camera, be sure to bring your sheet and a pillow with you, and combine the
two clips starting from the moment you touch the bed.
Okay, maybe that one was actually cool.
Maybe that was a hack, okay.
But WooHoo is still on thin ice.
Don’t think we forgot.
Take a bunch of pictures of your friend jumping or moving forward.
Then, stitch the videos together and get what looks like a video of him flying!
I like how it says “take a bunch of pictures” but you can literally see on the guy’s phone
screen that he’s recording video, which kind of just goes to show that they know these
life hacks are way too advanced for a child to try.
So remember how the video was 10 minutes long?
Well the life hacks actually stop at 8 minutes.
These people put in two consecutive minutes of repeated footage that was already shown
in the video, just to drag it out to 10 minutes.
So between the stepping on trash, jumping around at the park, putting rats in your clothes,
and jumping into swimming pools with your clothes on, if you think about all the clips
you just saw in my video, this is just random footage.
This company is just stringing together 10 minutes worth of random, over-saturated, non-sequitur
nonsense, slapping some manic narration on it, and then putting a trendy title and a
couple of ad breaks and calling it a day.
You know, I thought Troom Troom was a content farm, but they’ve devolved into a nonsense
farm.
Anyway, much like Troom Troom, I have a couple of minutes of space I need to fill up in this
video, so I guess that does give me time to make a diss track.
[Music]
Well that was certainly fun. Anyway, looks like I’ve gotten ten minutes of content out of this, so leave a like, tell
me what you think, and subscribe if you haven’t already.
Thank you for watching, and a big thank you to my 175,000 subscribers. Okay bye.
