Youtube poop!
Youtube Poop!
Ive mentioned Youtube Poop so many times in other videos that By now some of you may be
thinking that our poor buddy youtube is suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, which is understandable
because I always gave vague definitions on the subject but never truly went into detail
on the topic.
Well it’s finally time to explore this rabbit hole a little bit deeper.
Now to attempt to truly define Youtube Poop videos is like attempting to throw a donkey
at a basketball hoop. or beating a ghost in a boxing match…you know what I’m doing
a real bad job at trying to explain myself ,what I’m trying to say is defining youtube
poop is kinda possible but at the same time impossible.
But have no fear! other people, who are much smarter and wiser than myself have attempted
to define the genre.
so Let’s have a look at a couple definitions.
the know your meme web page dedicated to the topic defines the genre as “a video that
has been made with appropriated footage and collage editing techniques for the purpose
of either annoying or entertaining viewers.”
and the wikipedia page for youtube poop has a similar definition defining it as “ a
type of video mashup, created by editing pre-existing media sources for humorous, confusing and
shocking purposes”
So to sum it all up, Youtube poops are videos that use other video content in new and remixed
ways creating a new product in the process a product that is edited to be random, humorous
and most of all bizarre.
You know, kinda like that one kid in class that would always eat the paste.
Now Although the Genre is too broad to accurately define a few patterns and techniques have
emerged through it’s existence.
Commonly used editing techniques used within the genre are known as poopisms.
Which quick little side note, while I was researching this topic I was on the know your
meme site and I saw this link for poopisms I decided to click on it and when I did I
went to this whole other site that I think is the wrong site.
Uhh Im not complaining or anything but uhh I just thought it was worth mentioning.
uhhhhh what were we talking about again?
Right Poopisms.
now Some of the defining poopisms that the videos use are earrape, which is the process
of making the audio loud to the point of distortion Reversing clips, both audio and visual.
Stutter loops, which is the process of taking an isolated section of video and making it
repeat several times.
repeat several times repeat several times
and also Sentence shifting, which is taking audio from the clip or other clips and cutting
them up to create a new often humorous sentence.
I am a dumb ass
but thats just a small handful of the commonly used poopisms within youtube poop videos There
is a much long list of all the poopisms used on the youtubepoop wikia page if you’re
interested.
Along with the poopisms a handful of commonly used source materials have helped define the
genre.Some commonly used sources are The super mario bros super show, adventures of sonic
the hedgehog, billy mays infomercials, king of the hill,,Spongebob, and Arthur, just to
name a very small amount.
In reality there is no limit or specification to what you have to use to create a youtube
poop video.
The genre of video has been around for quite awhile now.
Although there is speculation as to when and who created the very first youtube poop video
,what is known is that the video was first uploaded to Youtube on November 27, 2006 which
is titled “I’d say he’s hot on our tail” and features a clip from the super mario bros
3 cartoon.
“Whoah!!!
I’d say he’s hot on our tail” Grunts
“Whoah!!!
I’d say he’s hot on our tail”
the genre of video has continued to evolve in impressive ways, having dedicated creators
and a fanbase that celebrate the funny and bizarre videos that have been produced.
These basic YTP videos have even branched off into sub genres, the most popular of which
is the Youtube poop music videos more commonly known as YTPMV, which is the same concept
as the regular poop edits but only with the addition of music.
Youtube poop videos are often classified as being on the weird side of Youtube while this
may be true there is no denying their impact and influence on meme culture.
You can clearly see their influence in many of the recent video memes that have started
to become popular here on youtube.
So when you really start to think about it in a weird way, the Youtube poop videos are
kinda like the grandfather of today’s memes.
So there you have it!
Youtube poop videos started off as a way to remix and edit pre-existing videos before
influencing the popular meme formulas we know and love today
