YouTube Poop

YouTube Poop (YTP) is a type of audiovisual remix content, commonly uploaded on YouTube. The content of YTPs is best described as absurdist, and in many cases utilize a bizarre sequence of elements that may, depending on the viewer, entertain, confuse or irritate.

There are similarities and differences between YTPs and Downfall Hitler Parodies, but it can be considered distinct enough that Downfall parody makers (Untergangers) in general don't consider themselves as a YouTube Pooper.

Techniques
YTPs employ a range of editing techniques, called Poopisms: Several of these techniques are also employed in Downfall parodies, but to a lesser extent, in loops and musical parodies.
 * Ear Rape: Volume is maxed out and distorted. The intention is generally to annoy.
 * Stutter Loop: A short piece of video is looped in order to call attention or emphasize something.
 * Word Trim/sentence mix: Words are cut and rearranged, often to create profanity.
 * YTPMV (Classic): A sample is sequenced to an audio track to vaguely simulate something like “singing.”
 * YTPMV: Notes in source materials are pitch shifted to create a song.

Relation to Downfall Parodies
There are many similarities that can be drawn between YTPs and Downfall parodies. These include:
 * 1) Both involves remixing existing content to create new content.
 * 2) Both are primarily centered on YouTube as a video platform.
 * 3) Both are produced with the intent of entertainment.

Several notable differences include:
 * 1) Greater diversity of source materials used in YTPs versus Downfall
 * 2) Downfall parodies are more conservative, while YTPs are more random
 * 3) Downfall parodies focuses on poking fun at Hitler

The influence of YTPs on Downfall Parodies is little early on, but has notably increased over time with the intermingling of YTP characters such as Michael Rosen and Leopold Slikk into the Parody Universe by Untergangers such as Benad361. However, this is more exception than rule.
