Blue Screen of Death
Not to be confused with the microsoft blue screen of death, this controversial poopism is also a hallmark of AIDS as many have used it without a proper understanding of it irony. Quite simply, there are thousands of available fonts and millions of available colours, so to use the wmm default text style is a complete rejection of tech and pays tribute to youtube and trash aesthetics.
Sadly, all sense of irony was lost and the blue screen of death was used in all earnestness by a new generation of poopers. Windows Vista wmm, with it's own set of defaults has resulted in this poopism starting to die out, although on screen text is still with us, in the form of Tech Text and It's Just a Game
Censor Beep
Often used in conjunction with You Cut and other sentence mixing methods. A word is beeped a to make it seem as though a swear word was censored. This trend became a hallmark for 3rd generation poops and is considered by many to be a symptom of AIDS. The cure for this, should the AIDS victim wish to redeem themselves is the Word Trim of words to create the actual swear words which had previously been implied.
Death
An apparently normal scene (that is not cd-i) takes place that demonstrates some peril. At a key moment the footage is freeze framed and the phrase "DIE" can be heard, the scene may then resume with or without actually showing a death. An alternative is "IDEH".
Deja Vu
Phrases, editing conventions and certain clips are used throughout an artists body of work, to create a fad attributed only with that artist.
Ear Rape
Turning the volume up to maximum so the it is utterly distorted. A popular choice with those that wish to annoy, but usually use sparingly in order to cause surprise
Erosion
The use of a posterfy style filter that erodes the image in order to simplify and dilute detail. This can often have a very unnerving effect, especially when use for prolonged periods.
Extreme Slow-Mo
Reducing the speed of a clip to around one frame per second - used both for comedic effect but also for mystery and a rather eerie suspense.
Item List
A question posed is answered with a number of different items; clips from many various sources.
It's Just a Game
The use of flash graphics to suggest a poop is integrated into some kind of video game. Effective use can even suggest retro game hardware such as LCD graphics or on screen help instructions. Has been recently used over Warioware clips, suggesting certain characters have their own set of microgames which was first started off by Greenalink.
PAINT JOB
Badly painting over a freeze-frame. Popular choices include bulging eyes or open mouths.
Pointer
For some unexplainable reason, nearly all popular sources for YouTube Poop include a character pointing. This includes Fat Mario and Gay Luigi pointing to the sky, Mama Luigi pointing out Mario's mistake, King pointing in a number or directions as his arm gesticulate wildly, Hip (or is it Hop?) pointing to a Volcano, George the Volcano pointing to Tyrannosaurus Alan and so on. Taken out of context these people could all be pointing to anything and often end up pointing to some kind of disaster.
Rape Rave
Often used within the body of a poop rather than on it's own a rape rave takes a clips or series of clips and replaces the around with dance music plus adds a quickly changing colorise filter to suggest night-club lighting.
Right There
A meta-poopism which slows down or freeze frames a scene in order for the pooper to point out an error or otherwise interesting or funny detail.
Stare Down
A freeze of a character to suggest he/she is staring either at someone else being annoying or perhaps staring back. Sometimes the starer looks to the camera with an uneasy silence to suggest his disapproval of the previous scene.
Stutter Loop
A simple and very quick loop of footage that repeats a short number of time to add emphasis.
Tech
The use of absurdly sophisticated special effects for little more than a cheap laugh. It was been argued that this is in fact a genre of poop but as yet there are very few choosing to take this route. In a similar that Tech Text evolved from Blue Screen of Death this methodology clearly evolved from MS PAINT JOB For good examples of this see the work of Link123456.
Tech Text
The use of seemingly sophisticated motion graphics and on screen text as either a means to communicate to the viewer or as a form of personal indents. It is sometimes used to show misheard words à la animutation. Notable users include Glitchboyadvance. This poopism was fathered by Blue Screen of Death and it's super evolved state is It's Just a Game.
Voice of Poop
{{#ev:youtube|3CLZoqsB5qs|320}}
The addition of common word and phrases into the soundtrack of a clip. Popular choices include "Mama Luigi", "That's Mama Luigi to You" "Spaghetti" and "Dinner"
Word Trim
Reducing a word in order to create new made up word. Made famous by elmullet's Uctions series.
YTPMV
A YTPMV is the process of editing clips in such a way they become musical - sometimes as if the characters are even singing. Many people add synth tracks or video game music in the background to keep the music going. A YTPMV is not the lip syncing an existing song to popular YouTube Poop characters.
