YouTube Poop

From Mario Fan Games Galaxy Wiki

A YouTube Poop is a mashup video made for the popular website YouTube, that specialises in being "stupid" and attempts to be funny. Unlike most YouTube videos, YouTube Poops are usually made up of a bunch of clips from other videos, edited together through programs such as Windows Movie Maker and submitted. As with large parts of the internet, YouTube Poops have become popular with many MFGGers, particularly the younger generation.

Common features of YouTube Poops include:

  • Random speeding up or slowing down of a movie
  • Hue or saturation changes
  • Pixelization or other video effects
  • Repetition
  • Flipping a movie both in the X and Y direction
  • Horribly overused video clips
  • Added music for no reason

Popular YTP videos:

  • Hotel Mario (CD-I)
  • Super Mario World Cartoon (CD-I)
  • Robotnik

As with YTMND before it, YouTube Poops have become frequently overused and have started to lose all comedy value. This is mainly down to the discovery of the CD-i Zelda and Mario games, which, due to their poor voice acting and awful animation, have become the subject of many YouTube Poops, even though in a lot of cases, they are actually made worse. Other overused clips include the "Mama Luigi" Super Mario World cartoon and the Volvic Mineral water advert with George Volcano and Tyrannosaurus Alan.

However, some MFGGers such as ZeldaFreak and Someguy have been able to produce very well made YouTube Poops, usually by focusing on original content.
