First poop seen
/ The Dalek Emperor Toasts the Universe by Pikawil
After seeing that I wrote to him and then discover the name YouTube Poop. I did a Google search and found that an old online acquaintance Timdrage had made some himself and he and his friends had also written about them. After a little more searching I realised that there was a quite a few people making them yet no one had thought to open a website or even buy the domain name. Everyone I spoke to seemed to treat it like some overnight meme, yet the videos seemed to date back a couple of years. After attempting to make a poop myself my sense of inadequacy motivated me to instead chart the progress of this the genre and champion it online as art movement rather than a mere fad. These days the emphasis has moved to keeping the site alive and finding time to manage it all.
First poop made
You weren't there at the beginning (of YouTube Poop)
You weren't there at the beginning (of YouTube Poop) is, in the opinion of it's author a rather clumsy emulation of the poops he had seen at the time. Use of Hotel Mario is of course an important hallmark, which many don't grow out of but the use of Tom Baker from Doctor Who swearing doesn't fit at all. Interestingly though the Thames TV ident and other 80s TV artifacts is a very British habit in poop making indicting that pop culture nostalgia goes hand in hand with video montage in the UK.

Criticism
- Often relies upon meta jokes, referring to Youtube Poop within the poop itself
- Surprising low viewer stats, which indicates not only his failings as a poop maker but also at self promotion
- Often spends more than the recommended time making a poop. This has improved lately but the first few would take him several days to complete.
Achievements
