− | | |
− | | |
− | One day in a fit of who-gives-a-crap, I searched up videos of the Rabbids from their eponymous Rayman game. One of the videos I came across was a confusing pastiche of Rabbid clips with scenes from a cartoon starring raccoons. As time passed I came to know this artful insanity as YouTube Poop, and I thereby discovered [[Stegblob]]. I constantly downloaded his videos to watch on my iPod as school dragged by. Soon, because I didn't know better, I made my own on [[Windows Movie Maker]] (the holy grail of fail, amirite?) based on my then-favorite show, ''Countdown with Keith Olbermann''. Titled "Keith Olbermann Says You've Done Bad Things", the only remarkable factor about it was that there were few Keith poops at the time, if any. I guess people knew they could do better and did. :/
| |
− | | |
− | After sucking the "UNFITTING MUSIC" fad dry for a few many videos, I created my most popular video to date: "[[Robotnik]] Has Phone [[Sex]] with [[the King]]", filled to the seams with cliches, unfunniness and no ideas that I actually still like. Wouldn't you believe that people loved it? And they still occasionally post comments on the bits they LOLd on? Me neither. The only interesting aspects of it were the custom and frequently-used indent I made with an ear-rapey TV static and a still of one of [[electricthecheese|The Electric Cheese's]] "YouTube Poop logos", an overabundance of Shoop-Da-Whoop, a rare use of Eddie Izzard in a YTP, and making the Angry German Kid scream "CHOCOLAAAAAAATE". As of September 10, 2009, it has 200 ratings with an average of 4.39, and 14,770 views. I recently changed the title to the more fitting: "STOP FUCKING WATCHING THIS SHIT".
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Roughly ten days later, I followed "THIS SHIT" up with my third most-popular poop of the era: "Robotnik Gets Rick Roll'd While Preying on Scratch". Obviously, the RickRoll fad was still in full swing at this time. Again, it was full of cliches, though I finally began including things that not only were actually funny, but still are now. It contains perhaps my biggest claim to reverse-language fame as, Robotnik: "A dong has the trust in us for shits and hoots", as well as my second, Robotnik: "SEXUALLLLL". It also began my long-running fascination with characters farting after awkward pauses. "Rick Roll'd" included a credits sequence that was longer than the actual poop itself, (who knows why I included one at all). After making a popular and well-received addition to the [[71519]] fad, "71519 Lashes to Thine Backside", a second fad video that was kind of an offshoot of 71519, and two unfitting musics, I made my first YTPMV. A McRoll/"Don't Look it's Stupid" video, "DIESES FILM ENTHALT DIE KLOWN-MASCHINE" I technically made my first truly good video. It was based off of Kraftwerk's "The Man-Machine", and it was a direct response to Vorhias's "ITS TOO SHORT DONT LOOK" (which was based off of Kraftwerk's "Computerlove"). It only worked because I cut out the audio of the source and did the music entirely in Audacity, a method that I would continue through another good YTPRemix, "Coughlan666 Prefers the Zelda Series".
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Three days later, I made my second Keith Olbermann poop, "Keith and Billo Fight to the Death". When I made it was more proud of it than I was my first YTP, but once again it was panned. Honestly it's not as bad as my first, and there are still a few jokes in it I like, but I could have never made it and it'd pay me no-never mind.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Literally ONE DAY LATER, I posted my first addition to the "[[THIS VIDEO CONTAINS WIN]]", called "THIS VIDEO CONTAINS GODDAMN DOTS THAT WIN". It was based off the same [[Kirby]] music, but I used a voice clip from the Ministry song "TV II" (Al Jourgensen: "CONNECT THE GODDAMN DOOOOOTS!!!!"). The audio editing wasn't as strong as it could have been, what with me missing a number of notes, but it's still one of my best videos from this era. Probably the funniest part was a random image edit I made at the very end that made the head of Al Jourgensen look like something from Monty Python.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Five fucking unfitting musics later, I contributed a video to the "This Video Will be Flagged" fad, my version being titled "...by John McCain" and having Robotnik say "dick" (spliced from "dictator"). I posted it as a response to [[VGS2]]'s own video of Robotnik saying "dicks", and VGS2 responded that one to mine afterwards. lolz. If you listen closely to inbetween the "dick" bits, you can almost hear "penis" being repeated as well. Listeners have left comments of other interesting things they hear inbetween.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Two more unfitting musics later ([[I WAS BORED]], OK?!!!) I did what's arguably my first decent poop, "The Doctor Annoys Himself", based off of a couple Doctor Who episodes I'd recently watched and clips of Robotnik humping a table. WMM software held it back from being really good. That's my only excuse. Perhaps the best part was getting Robotnik to say "MY MEMBER".
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Another unfitting music, and I did my 100th video special: "Robotnik Has Phone Sex With Rick Astley". Taking clips and jokes from my two then-most popular YTPs, ("THIS SHIT" and "RickRoll'd") I seeked to make good of the shit I made, as well as including other jokes that are still ok. I was still driving Jason Griffith into the ground, so it suffers greatly at one point from that.
| |
− | It's notable for having my first foray into sentence mixing, (Robotnik: "My precious gems are my dicks"), and my first attempt at a full video YTPMV with Robotnik saying "COAL!" over the beat from Nine Inch Nails' "Closer". The latter didn't really work, but it was a start.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | My first video using more powerful software came in the form of a misguided response. Someone named 'shadownitron' posted a video he was hoping to get included as a clip in Mr. RandomDCE's ''Handy Dandy Guide'' on ''Stormhawks''. I had no idea, so I decided to include it in a bizarre filler made almost entirely in [[Adobe Premiere]]. It was good for a lol or two.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | I made one last unfitting music, then I essentialy left YTP alone for a few months to do my other videos. Then I downloaded the trial to Sony Vegas 9...
| |
− | | |
− | ===The Early Days in Vegas (October 19, 2008 - December 9, 2008)===
| |
− | | |
− | I didn't use Vegas immediately after downloading. All I had wanted for the longest time was the ability to reverse clips, which I had to supplant with just reversing audio. I simply used Vegas to reverse a couple Robotnik clips, which I included in the only WMM poop of mine I'm willing to acknowledge positively anymore: "Robotnik Makes Some Suggestions". Maybe me using Adobe Premiere's "Motion" feature just improved the quality. Or maybe it was just plain funnier than my previous shit.
| |
− | | |
− | I switched out "[[Pingas]]" with "Cock" making "SnooCOCKusual I see?" lolololololol I'm so funny.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | I guess I knew I wouldn't be using Vegas again for a while, so I canceled the first trial sometime around here. Instead, four days after "Suggestions", I did an epic "THIS VIDEO CONTAINS WIN"/YTPRemix of the ''Zelda: Majora's Mask'' theme to "Stone Tower Temple" using Robotnik's "pingas", Morshu's "mmmm" and Ronald's "Ran ran ruu", and I called it "THIS VIDEO CONTAINS WIN ON A MOLECULAR LEVEL". Funnily enough, the only person to badmouth it was an unfunny camwhore, so yay me.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | The end of November rolled around, and I decided to go for Vegas again. I pooped a video a one ''asilentskeptic'' posted, and this time I used Vegas almost entirely. It was one of the few to use WMM until the trial ran out, and I only used WMM to put the individual sections of poop together. I've obviously done better, but it's still a milestone in quality compared to those before.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | One week later, determined to use my trial to its fullest, I created what might be the most important YTP of my pseudo-career: "Azumanga Daiohfuckit". Not only did I have an incredible amount of fun putting it together, it began my love of pooping the eponymous show I had fallen in love with shortly before, it began a long chain of my poops being very funny that continues to this day, my talents increased, and I learned not to take shit from people who falsely DMCA my videos. As you may have guessed, someone filed a claim against it, as well as one of [[Dualscreen77]]'s Azumanga poops, and I still kick myself for waiting so long to deal with it. Maybe I should do the same with WMG and my removed album reviews... X(
| |
− | | |
− | Oh well. Needless to say, it's still one of my best and favorite poops. I know I overused the WTFBOOM, but I at least used it cleverly in a couple spots. The main source of the poop was episode four.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Not half a week later I started on "Chiyo-Chan's Not Good at Cock". Though I didn't have as much fun putting it together, and it's technically unfinished, it's definately funnier than "Daiohfuckit". It was the first to prominently use stuttering/seizures, as well as the first to have its title based on a joke from the previous Azumanga poop (this one in particular is a quote from the very end of the main poop, a very small sentence splice). It's probably my second most-loved YTP. I forget the episode I used as the source.
| |

− | | |
− | ===Post-Trial, Exhile to the Laptop, and EditStudio (January 30, 2009 - April 29, 2009)===
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | The trial ran out shortly after "Chiyo-Chan's Not Good at Cock", so I briefly returned to WMM and Audacity to create my second YTPRemix opus, "Coughlan666 Prefers the Zelda Series". The visuals sucked, but the audio was and is my most labor-intensive to date. It's a remix of the "Molgera" theme from Zelda: Windwaker and a psychotic video by famed YouTube comedian Richard Coughlan.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | A month or two passed when my computer died, following a long bought of unresponsive-DVD drive. With my computer dead, my dad gave me his old laptop. I did one WMM video, a fad response to RandomDCE that would have been better had my computer not died.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | One day while all this was going on, I decided to give EditStudio a chance, what with it being free and having a reverse option (the watermark was mostly unobtrusive, as well). It was kind of jarring to switch over to a new layout and work style, so I abandoned it for some time. Sometime in mid-April, inspired by the EditStudio prowess of [[Combuskenisawesome]], I decided to give it another shot. This time, I stuck with it long enough to endure the crashes and random fuck-ups to create my third Azumanga poop, "Chiyo the Headbanger". It actually came out really well. I got Mr. Kimura to be even more perverted (inoimpossiblerite?) and to say "[[Let's Shit]]". I also got Yomi to say "What the shit?", so I'd call that successful silliness. I included the credits, which I probably shouldn't have, because in both this and the poop that followed, they take up too much time.
| |
− | | |
− | This one took it's title from the section of "Chiyo-Chan's Not Good at Cock" where I had Chiyo constantly bang her head against a table as the scene otherwise progressed normally. The source is episode four, plus the infamous clip of Osaka saying "OH MY GAH".
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | I followed that up with the labor-intensive "Kimura Sweet Kimura", which was much less of a hassle to work on. I basically went on a characters-saying-"cock" tangent for a majority of it, based mostly on how the word is half of Sakaki's name (SaCOCKi geddit?). I ran that into the ground as hard as I could, and it worked. I worked a little harder to have running jokes throughout the poop; I like that kind of stream-of-consciousness feel to videos like that. I'd even do the same thing in my "just-got-a-webcam"/update video "Who the HELL is that?!!". I also got Mr. Kimura to say "I like dikes". Someone thought he said "daleks". This one's titled after a clip early on in the previous poop where I made Mr Kimura mouth Kraftwerk's "Ohm Sweet Ohm". Don't worry, it wasn't just a crappy lip-sync; I actually worked it into a full, bizarre scene that payed off with unexpected swearing.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | I made one more clip of Azumanga material, of which I have yet to use. Thankfully, I got a new computer and, after a few months, I was able to buy a full version of Sony Vegas 9.
| |

− | | |
− | | |
− | ===The Vegas Renaissance (August 15, 2009 - Present day)===
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | With Vegas in hand, I proceeded to create the best YouTube Poops I've had in forever. First, I made a good old Robotnik poop, "Robotnik's Stuck in Fuckin' Chickentown", which will be the first in a running gag of titling Robotnik poops after songs.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | Five days later, inspired by a Young Ones poop by [[TimAJH]] that Youtube couldn't handle, I made my own Young Ones poop called "Mike's Gutter Bitch (AKA: The Young Ones Might be The Replacements)". It took too long with the opening YTPMV/Remix, but everything else I'm totally proud of. I still love how the Robotnik theme from [[AoStH]] worked so well with episode 2's closing credits. It was the first poop where I used Vegas entirely for the YTPMV portions.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | After a week or two of talking with [[Pilli10]], [[HoZKiNZPooP]], [[MexicanSunflower]] and a number of others, HoZKiNZ and I came up with some stupid Zelda CD-i jokes and he urged me to make a poop out of them. Not being able to leave well-enough alone, I put effort into it and made "DA BESTEST POOP EVAR (AKA: Wazzup, Reese's Pieces)" and it spread faster than my video showing myself on camera. Both HoZKiNZ and Pilli responded with their own variations on stupid CD-i poops that ended up being really funny, spurred on by me having Link say that they both suck. XP
| |
− | | |
− | Pilli's had Gwonam saying "comicstripdude sucks penis", so touche to you sir.
| |
− | | |
− | For two following videos I discovered how to autopoop with Pinnacle Studio 12. I don't recommend taking any of it or the process seriously, but the two videos I got out of it were amusing. One was of "DA BESTEST POOP EVAR" and another was of an Azumanga Daioh clip of the girls reaching Okinawa.
| |
− | | |
− | I was inspired by the latter to do a full poop of the one clip, and it's arguably my best poop to date. Titled "Insert Portal Reference Here" (a [[Tech Text]] from the previous Azu poop), it featured my most awesome YTPMV ever, which took its beat from a song by my dad titled "What's Going On?" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQASGQLiiAY Link].I posted the video as a reponse to [[Geibuchan]]'s "Tomo and the Blustery Day" poop, which made Geibuchan feel honored. Considering how much I like Geibuchan's Azumanga poops, which show what you can really do with Windows Movie Maker, that means a hell of a lot to me. I also used [[GarudaSmash]]'s carls jr in this.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | You're now caught up with Comicstripdude's journey through YouTube Poop! Aren't I just fucking fascinating?!
| |
− | | |
− | ===First poop seen===
| |
− | | |
− | The title has been long lost to history, though I remember it being based on the Raving Rabbids and some cartoon starring a raccoon. I think Pilli10 has used that cartoon more than once in his YTPs.
| |
− | | |
− | ===First poop made===
| |
− | | |
− | "Keith Olbermann Says You've Done Bad Things", and there's a reason it's set to private now.
