BenderPictures (often shortened to "BP") is a YouTube Pooper known for making sentence mixing and Story-based Poops. A wide variety of material can be found on his channel aside from YTPs, such as lyrics videos and voice acting. He currently over 600 subscribers and 400,000 views. After a "retirement" spanning almost a year, 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 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 during the contest after being exposed to other up-and-coming poopers.
BenderPictures took over Poop Factor 3 in late 2009. The contest ended prematurely due to a lack of participation in later rounds as well as BenderPictures's departure from YTPs shortly therafter.
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 several YouTube Poops since.
In November, BenderPictures joined the Bad YTP Hunters Group, led by YEROCKY.
In November BenderPictures also started a YTP Contest of his own, called Poop Standoff. He chose HotelWeegee and JestersOfChaos as his two additional judges.
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 since is "YouTube Poop: Luigi's Nightmare Tale", posted on December 11.
Disappearing Videos
At one point, BP had over 60 videos, but now has only 43. 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.

Style
BenderPictures is known for being on the sentence-mixing extreme of the YouTube Poop community. In the past he has denounced techniques such as ear rape and Vegas effects, but this seems to have been toned down since being exposed to more good ear rape and Vegas style artists.
While in the past he has been opposed to effects and ear rape, he has always enjoyed YouTube Poops with visuals, despite the fact that none of his videos use many. He is also a fan of fellow story line Youtube Poopers.
Most of his videos contain story lines or converstions between characters, in a manner similar to (but less extreme than) that seen in QuibbyJibby's and Swishfilmsinc's videos.
While in the past BP has promoted a sentence mixing style as superior, he has recently been promoting a balanced approach. This refers to YTPs that maintain a balance of sentence mxing and effects, so as not to overuse either of the two different styles. Despite his support of this method, his recent videos still lean very heavily towards sentence mixing.
