BenderPictures (nicknamed "BP") is a YouTube Pooper, known for his involvement in the now-defunct Poop Factor Contests, and a wide variety of material can be found on his channel aside from YTPs. He has described himself as a "moderately successful pooper" and has around 500 subscribers and 350,000 views. After a nine month "retirement", BenderPictures began making YouTube Poops again in September 2010.
History
BenderPictures registered on YouTube on May 6, 2007. His first YouTube Poops appeared around a year later in May 2008. Prior to YouTube Poops, BenderPictures posted various animations to his account. He started off with almost exclusively Mama Luigi material, and later in 2008 moved on to other CD-i titles, a habit he did not break until 2009.
In June 2009, BenderPictures entered the now-discontinued Poop Factor 2 YTP contest. He was crowned the winner out of 20 contestants after three months of rounds and eliminations. His viewership and subscribers skyrocketed from around 80,000 and 80, respectively, to around 180,000 and 200 by the contest's end. Since the first and second Poop Factors used fan voting but the third did not, BenderPictures still holds almost all of the Poop Factor records.
The period between the start of Poop Factor 2 and his retirement is generally considered the time in which BP was at his peak, with viewership hits such as "YTP: SpongeBob Cuts Off His Own Hand By Mistake" and critical hits like "The Tales of YouTube Poop", "YTP: Luigi Eats Yoshi Doo", and "YTP: The King's Firearms".
In late 2009, in the months following Poop Factor 2, BenderPictures and WakeUpWithRyan took over the Poop Factor name, which had previously been in the possession of Hoverbomber and NickallowBros. With BP in charge, Poop Factor 3 sputtered and recieved criticism. Not only did the voting disappear, but BP routinely made remarks about the apparent lack of talent in the contest, claiming that the first two had more worthy YouTube Poopers. He also said that Poop Factor 3 had turned into a "rookie's game".
WakeUpWithRyan was suspended in 2010, leaving BP solely in charge. After recieving only a fraction of the submissions for the semi-finals, BP discontinued the contest and no winner was crowned. All Poop Factor 3 videos were subsequently removed from his profile.
BenderPictures retired from YTP in January 2010. The move came after he released a new YTP that was almost universally panned. He removed the video, and had little involvement on YouTube in the following months. During this period he only posted three videos. Two were lyrics videos and the other was a voice demo.
BenderPictures "Un-Retired" on September 6, 2010 and has made three YouTube Poops since.
In November, BenderPictures joined the Bad YTP Hunters Group, led by YEROCKY.
Retirement/Hiatus and Un-Retirement
Throughout his time on YouTube, BP has taken many hiatuses, the longest of which spanned nearly a year from October 2009 to September 2010.
In fall 2009, BenderPictures made his final YouTube Poop of the year "Mama Luigi Tries to Sell Mighty Putty" which gained a relatively good reception. He then announced he would go on a brief hiatus due to being temporarily "out of ideas". He did not make another video until January 2010. The video was a YouTube Poop that was bashed in general and got many negative comments. BenderPictures removed the video a week later and announced his retirement.
His account had little activity on it through most of 2010 aside from favoriting videos, but in September he suddenly came out of retirement with the video "Spongebob Loses His Virginity". About a month later, BenderPictures released his second post-retirement video, "The Gay Games". His most recent video is "YTP: Jupiter Jack Off".
As of November, BenderPictures is active and is believed he has more YTPs in the making.
Disappearing Videos
At one point, BP had over 60 videos, but now has only 33. Almost all of his YTPs from 2008 are gone. It is believed that he deleted all of these videos, and that they were not taken down for copyright reasons.
A reasonable estimate is that BP has at one point or another uploaded over 90 videos to YouTube.

Reception
BenderPictures has an overall positive reputation. His early works have gathered a surprising amount of support after BenderPictures announced plans to delete many of them. He ended up deleting most of them anyway due to personally disliking them.
He is regarded as a good sentance mixer, and he is also noted that almost all of his YouTube Poops have clear storylines as opposed to "randomness". Most of his videos lack effects of any kind.
His 2009-present work has especially been well-recieved.
BenderPictures was praised by the Poop Factor 2 judges in late 2009 for his work to promote and improve the contest.
Criticism
BenderPictures recieved an angry backlash from those who disliked the way he handled being in charge of Poop Factor 3. These include his decisions to ditch voting and the ultimate demise of the contest.
The videos themselves have not had much critisism, although he says that he personally dislikes most of his oldest videos. As of October 2010, almost all of his original YTPs are gone.
Achievements
- Poop Factor 2 Champion (out of 20 contestants)
- Poop Factor 3 Judge
- Poop Factor Owner (later)
- 400 subscribers
- 300,000 total views
His most popular video is "Die or Else You Will Die", with over 85,000 views. BenderPictures has said in the comments that he has "no idea" why the 11 second video is watched as often as it is.
His most popular full YouTube Poop is "YTP: SpongeBob Cuts Off His Own Hand By Mistake!" with around 55,000 views.
His most critically acclaimed video, by far, is "The Tales of YouTube Poop" which has been praised for its unique premise, excellent sentance mixing, and use of music to enhance the viewer's experience [see comments]. It was one of his last YTPs before going on hiatus in 2009 and subsequently retiring.
Associates
- WakeUpWithRyan (now suspended). He and BP were both very involved in Poop Factors 2 and 3.
Influences
- WalrusGuy. His page states that his only YTP influence was WalrusGuy, "the one and only real YouTube Pooper".
Trivia
BenderPictures was given the nickname "BP" sometime in 2009, and he stated a liking for the nickname until the Oil Spill in 2010. He has since dropped the nickname from his page, probably to avoid confusion with the hated British Petroleum, which also goes by "BP".
