Widescreen

In late 2008, YouTube updated so that videos of a high enough resolution will be viewed in widescreen, allowing for prettier videos and HD. However, it was not without its flaws, because videos not uploaded in widescreen will be surrounded by hideous black bars.

However, widescreen has been taken advantage of in several poops. The video will often appear to be a regular, "standard" video, but at certain parts, like when it zooms in, the video takes up the entire space and is in fact revealed to be widescreen. Good examples of this gimmick include "Widescreen Ruins Youtube Poop" by WalrusGuy and "NORMAN" (seen to the right) by The Electric Cheese.
