In Brief
LaVie CestLol (Life, it's lol in French, pronounced lavi selɔl), also known as SuperWoodBoy, J, Jean, LaVie, or the French Anthony Fantano, is a Youtube Pooper who began doing his schtick in February 2014. Some of them are in French. Others have no dialog. Some of them are funny. Most of them aren't.
About
LaVie CestLol began to watch typically French sentence-mixing-heavy YTPs around 2009, mostly for the laughs. He then stopped watching YTPs regularly for a while, until 2013, when he saw JeFaisChierLesGens and Manfob22's YTP Tennis Match. He then realized that YTP can be a whole lot more than just funny harmless videos, but can also reveal something that has more meaning to it.
He then began to take interest in YTP in a whole new level, especially after meeting the pooper Pipoupipoulol in real life in the end of 2013. After discovering videos of the likes of Sid1325, laromande, and then CorruptionSound, MycroProcessor or GameBop, he decided to jump out and began to make YTP as well. His first YTP was published on February the 2nd, 2014. If at first, they were mostly for laughs, he took quickly interest in more abstract, humorless styles, eventually mixing tones to create some meaning around it.
Doing his videos, he met the glorious people behind the videos he watched at that time (Kontchalowski, laromande, Sid, LotusEaterMachine, and many more), and, willing to meet even more poop creators, signed up to YouChew on April the 21st, 2014, following laromande's advice, who told him to go there to inform people about the first YTP Collab he was hosting : the MUSICOLLAB (which was a successful idea).
Beginning tennis matches under laromande's wing with the IRL TENNIS (his best memory as a pooper, but also as a videomaker, which consists of only using 100% original material from both tenissers), he now moves around matches of different sorts, styles and themes ; some more abstract and serious, some more for the laughs or for the fun of it. He also participates in various collabs and things, always looking for new experiences and people to work with. He's also planning to direct a documentary around Youtube Poop and its creators, to emphasize the more artistic and human aspect of it, since he hates to see YTP in general just be reduced to some kind of mindless internet meme.
He also made it to the final of the Multi-Way Tennis Tournament, after being one of the few replacements which occured on set 4.
Now he also needs to get a job but ... anyways.
