Benderpictures
This pooper is on Hiatus and will not be making poops for the time being. BenderPictures (nicknamed "BP" by many) is a YouTube Pooper, perhaps most well-known for his involvement in the Poop Factor Contests, first as a Champion and later as a judge. He has described himself as a "moderately successful pooper" and has over 400 subscribers and 300,000 views. Many of his videos are non-YouTube Poop related. He is known for being a strong supporter of sentance mixing, and has stated that it takes much more skill to do so. He also claims that effects are not needed to make a good YouTube Poop. He currently claims to be a retired pooper, and has had little involvement in YTPs since January 2010. However, he is believed to actually be on hiatus, due to the fact that he has retired and "come back" several times in the past. He made a submission to The Last Pooper Standing contest in July 2010, although it was an already uploaded video.
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-defunct 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, 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 universally panned. He removed the video, and has since had little involvement in YouTube. He has, however, posted three videos since then indicating that he has not abandoned his account. The videos considted of two lyrics videos and some voice-over work.
First poop seen
Unknown
First poop made
Unknown. The earliest poop that appears in his videos is "Yoshi and Mario Laugh at Luigi for a Minute" on May 26, 2008. His first poops were deleted sometime in 2009, as BenderPictures believed them to be "amateur-ish" and also called them "abominations". It is not known exactly which was his first, and no one seems to care, either.

He is regarded as an expert sentance mixer, and his advice is regularly sought on new videos from his followers (which he has always encouraged).
His late work has especially been well-recieved, and despite a lack of views, they are full of positive feedback.
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.

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".
