In brief
Maker of a number of one minute poops that make extensive use of old children's videos, most notably Kid-A-Littles and Songs From Mother Goose.
History
Brillemeister was born in 1990 in REDACTED, USA. He had a fairly average middle-class upbringing and was fascinated by A/V equipment from early childhood. He and his brothers enjoyed generally decontextualizing prerecorded media, by either muting television or movies and inserting their own dialogue, or "riffing" ala one of the favorite shows in the Brillemeister family home, MST3K.
First poop seen
One day Brille's younger brother showed him a Lion King poop titled Hakuna Kakuna (removed), and the wheels in his head began turning. He realized that the video capture software already installed on his desktop also had editing capabilities...
First poop made
Hobbit Go Boom (removed)
Style
Brillemeister prefers to let sources speak for themselves, but often in a new context. He frequently accomplishes this through a kind of selective emphasis, bringing out incidental sounds, visual artefacts, facial tics, and similar unusual facets of clips he edits, and making them the centerpiece of a shot or scene.
In the past he's been known for sentence-mixing, occasionally enough to construct a clear narrative. After his first hiatus, however, he began transitioning toward a more abstract, dadaist style of editing.

Other Information
- To this day, has no idea who provided the voice of the title character in Songs from Mother Goose, and would be eternally grateful to whoever can provide this information.
- As of January 2017, has decided to retire The Kid-a-Littles indefinitely, with The Daily Typo Moves to Detroit marking their final appearance.
Trivia
- Went on a year-long hiatus in Spring 2008 due to college, but returned to pooping in 2009. He announced his retirement from YTP on October 2010, but returned in September 2012 with some new YTPMVs.
- Joined YouTube the same month as Lonelygirl15.
- Has had to take down two YTPMVs, Mario Drinks Olestra and Scoop McGooter Develops Paranoid Schizophrenia, due to copyright strikes (the respective songs used were: Liar (RE:NDZ remix) by Tokyo Girls Style; and Bak Bir Varmış Bir Yokmuş by Model).
- Was contacted by Cheryl Rhoads, who played the title character of the Mother Goose Video Treasury, around late 2007; she'd taken offense to his characterization of the series as "terrible" and he did his best to mend fences.
- Was threatened with legal action over his Kid-a-Littles uploads by a user named VideoAvenger circa late 2007; he claimed to know the creator of the show, "a very litigious man" in his words.
- Is an amazing singer.
