    Absolutely loved this. I can see your channel growing significantly if you keep this sort of content coming. The production quality was great, and I felt you had some intriguing commentary about the nature and impact of Fesh Pince and YTP as a whole - especially when it came to the graffiti comparisons.
    However, my biggest takeaway from the video was that I was once the #1 teenager of all time, putting all other teenagers to shame. The undisputed champion of former teenagers, if you will. I'll wear that title with pride.

    oh my god. the comparison of ytp to graffiti is absolutely inspired. i always feel like a total nutjob whenever i try to explain to people why ytp can be and is a genuine art form (which has happened...numerous times) but that example conveys so much of the idea so well, i'm obsessed. also the point about a lot of ytp being made out of love for the source material is a particular favorite of mine; intimate knowledge of a poop's source can often make way for some of the best and most layered bits/gags. your own affection and respect for the subject comes through in spades! great insight, and awesome work. i can assuredly say this has reached its target audience lol

    Comparing YTPs to experimental film was mind-blowing. I've heard it be called digital graffiti before, but comparing it to Passage à l'acte really threw me for a loop. Hearing how young Krobo was is incredibly inspiring too, as a young adult trying to break through the mold. I've always been fascinated by how CZcams Poop is so underground and yet so popular, it feels like everyone in the know of the internet enjoys YTP, but everyone outside of that shell has no idea what you're talking about. To use the iceberg metaphor, it's at the very thin line between the surface and under the water. I'm so glad it persists to this day.

    Hi I'm from Brazil, I remember that back in the day YTP's were very popular here, It was one of the first big style of video content that I got into on CZcams, even years later I still find the old videos by people like Mestre3224, Bomberpooper, Tecraudio, RudeboyProductions, and others hilarious as hell, and I'm not the only one. The community here was very active, collaborative supportive and certainly one of the most talented
    Unfortunately, YTP's stopped receiving that much attention here around 2017-2019, the reasons vary a lot: These videos take a lot of time and effort and the access for editing programs or computers in general is very low, and since here there is a higher demand for easily accessible content YTP's weren't very viable. Also alternate "meme pages" and reaction channels started stealing videos and profiting out of it, most of the time without giving credits. Both these things alongside a political crisis and the Elsagate controversy culminated in low effort meme videos being uploaded constantly with "YTPBR" slapped in the title, most of it were made with only views and attention in mind by people who felt like the classic Poops with niche based inner jokes and style were "too weird and vulgar for CZcams". This got to a point where to the general public, YTP's were another trendy style of "funny video compilations" that just fade away like any other fad, meanwhile classic YTP creators started quitting or following other paths, some became streamers, musicians, animators, etc.
    Some people still make YTP's, with some even trying to archive and document old channels and videos, but mostly these are made with no intention, expectation or target audience behind and thus they don't receive that much attention. Probably it's better like this, I will still check out old dead channels just for the nostalgia and check out whatever some of these people are doing nowdays.

But to be real it was the people making youtube poops that always made me laugh harder than any media that exists in the world. "Can we just take a minute to appreciate" doesn't do it justice.

    I loved your point about teenage art of expression and graffiti. CZcams was a much different place in 2009, for better or worse. Everyone was trying to carve out their own little corner, trying to figure out who we were. I was a stupid 15 year old who barely understood the world around him when I first discovered YTP through smash bros content. It massively shaped my identity in the years to come.
    Tangibly related, I massively fucked up by parasitically claiming an audience I did not deserve. I ran the first memorial channel, and turned it into a me show. The things I liked I featured on the channel to claim my corner of the world - instead of just reuploading the videos. I still cringe about it and wish I still had the password so I could fix my mistakes, but you live and learn. All part of youth's mistakes. (Especially seeing it kind of referenced in the later half of this video brings back the shame years later.)
    As for a final point, the graffiti example reminds me of a man I think was called David Bradley Bailey, a researcher from somewhere in the southern US who rose to prominence around 2011 in the community. His main point as a scholarly outsider was that YTP was a reclamation of commercialized culture, by those outside of the cultural mainstream. (As predicted in which I remember to be Remix: reading & composing culture by Catherine G. Latterell.) Just for a second, I did not feel like an outsider everywhere, but a part of an avantgarde artist collective ready to take on the world. An online Basquiat if you will. We were going to burst into the mainstream, something was brewing.
    But as always, the man won. Maybe it did go mainstream after all in the form of modern day meme culture, just with 10 years internet hyper evolution tackled on top of it.
    Apologies for all the disjointed thoughts, this was a great video and I can't wait for the next one.

    Wow, that was amazing! This video actually made me reflect on how YTPs played a role in my life as a creative.
    I remember the day I actually discovered YTP, I was around 10-11 years old, it was 2007-08 and I was sleeping over at a friend's house. We were watching CZcams and I wanted to find this audio clip I heard my brother watching, where someone was voicing Barney the Dinosaur taking a massive dump. I typed in "Barney Poop" and though we found the clip, we also found a YTP that edited clips of Barney, SpongeBob, and WWE. The video is probably lost to the copyright void now, but back then , we thought them looping SpongeBob saying "It's amazing how-" was the funniest shit ever. Days later, I sought out the video again, then noticed other videos with the YTP title, and soon enough I was quoting remixed CDI and Billy Mays clips all throughout school. I even made a new friend over our shared love of the genre.
    Fast forward to now, and I've graduated from film school, have a love for weird experimental films, and write horror stories and screenplays that often try to build atmosphere with weird and trippy imagery.
    Funny what paths life takes you down.

    Since high school, my friends and I have watched and quoted these videos more times than I could possibly count. It can somehow be so all over the place, but still cohesive enough for us to quote almost beginning to end.
    The videos have such a special place in my heart because of how I've bonded with people because of them. My reaction to Fesh Pince 3 being uploaded was bigger than any movie announcement in my life. Reading the comments made it even better because it told me that my experience was actually much more common than I would have thought.

    The combination of good free editing software and filesharing philosophy has made the internet as a whole a hotbed for sample art. Part of why mashups and YTP go hand in hand is because they fundamentally operate on the same ethos. It's beautiful how this has allowed people to experiment and express themselves, even if it's making TV characters say curse words.

    "I used to think CZcams Poops were stupid; just unintelligible garbage flashbanging your senses in order to get a cheap laugh from the dumb. It took me while to realize that they were taking a scene and straining it- removing all the dialogue, all the acting, all the narrative, leaving you with nothing but the distilled emotion of the scene. This is why so many YTPs are made from sitcoms and children's cartoons- the only thing left is the raw comedy."

    You know its really cool to see someone take the time to talk about CZcams poops. Its seen as childish and real "bottom of the barrel" humor at times but it really does bring entertainment at the simplest level that a lot of people can enjoy and we have since the early days of Zelda-CDI. I never see people talk about this but it gets referenced from time to time in other youtube poops and its amazing to see. People referencing the frozen cave man from the misadventures of skooks. For whatever reason it just appears from time to time and I would love to see people remember this and enjoy seeing it as much as I do.

    I havent read the Screen Rant article but i know It is not true there was only one shot of Jazz being trown out of the house, as far as I recall there is a shot for every entrance of the house, early in the show he was expelled through the main door, when Aunt Vivian changed then it was through the kitchen door but there are at least 2 other shots that are different one of them being the guest house. So your point still stands but i just wanted to comment that.
    Subscribed, i really like your Passage à l'acte reference is it shows this was researched beyond internet itself (at least i could belive that was the case). YTP are definitely Dada and there is huge conversation around it in which Passage à l'acte is definitely an important argument.

    As much analysis as you've put into it, as much as the human brain is a fantastic thing, and as much as I'd love to see future stuff from you (maybe seeing if absurdism is necessary for Poops to function, or if YTP qualifies as "punk" if it can surpass its source material in terms of view counts/popularity), I still don't think there is a way to truly explain the segue in Fesh Pince 2 from Will being killed to a sudden burst of Popeye the Sailor.

  • @seahorsemafia
    @seahorsemafia Před 4 měsíci +2

    Another fun fact about the Kuleshov effect!
    the human brain making sense of seemingly unrelated scenes/topics/images placed next to each other and contextualizing them automatically is EXACTLY why propaganda is so powerfully effective.
    You put it very well by saying you might not consciously connect it, or notice it making sense, but your brain makes those associations.
    Example “look how bad X problem is in this country! Now I’m gonna abruptly talk about Y group of people for no reason in particular”
    The wild thing is, it doesn’t even have to make sense or hold up to any real scrutiny in order to work, because it’s not absorbed through the part of your brain that processes information logically.
    Not to be a downer or anything, as you say it’s also responsible for the way art, film and YTP’s are so delightful!

      @Pimploaf_YTP Před 7 měsíci +4

      To me, Skooks and Fesh Pince are more or less the tops of two different styles. Even though they came out in the same era, Fesh Pince is more in the classic YTP style (the repeats, the *relative* simplicity of the edits) while Skooks is a more modern, maximalist style with crazy crap happening every second. I'm not sure if I could pick a favorite between the two, but I like them both for different reasons.

    • @Sykroid
      @Sykroid Před 3 měsíci +1

      ​@@Pimploaf_YTPPerfect way of putting it. Fesh Prince remixes the original into its own creation, while Skooks uses the original as a material to sculpt with. Both are valid and should be considered art

    I'm trying to figure out whether or not Neil Cicierega (aka Trapezoid, Lemon Demon) qualifies. Cause yeah, birthing the genre of animutation at 14 in 2001 is a tad outside that margin, but he was still under 20 when he released "Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" in 2005.
