A YouTube Poop, (YTP or Poop), according to Wikipedia is,Ī type of video mashup made by editing pre-existing media sources for the purposes of humor, entertainment, shock, and/or confusion.Ī YTP isn’t just a mashup, it’s a nightmare-scape, designed to disorient, mock, and lay bare the subconscious of the creator. So, what is this mysterious pooping phenomenon? Where does it come from? What is its purpose? Some background may be necessary. Having watched all 2,461 seconds, I’m inclined to call it an improvement upon the source material. Beyond that, there are even a few buried social commentaries: the cut where Markiplier is edited to complain of “WASP problems” followed by a montage of sports cars, implies he’s amassing a warchest of YouTuber wealth that mocks the lives of his subscriber vassals.

And while each of the segments is cut and warped to render each meaningless individually, the pattern of repetition it establishes is a very conscious effort at creating ‘game.’ There are callbacks in this piece, there’s almost a full narrative structure. The YTP vacillates between Markiplier beats - dousing himself in a tub of icewater, running a typical LP, VO’ing an animated version of himself running an LP, thanking his fans for another received accolade. While, at first glance, the collaborative pooping on Markiplier seems to be little more than impish lampooning, a closer inspection reveals some well-thought out structure. My initial impression of this was that of Dante Alighieri:

I found The Markiplier YTP Collab on the obscure channel NationofOranges696 and I absorbed 2,461 seconds of mashup methamphetamine. I plumbed the depths of YouTubery, looking for something beyond LP, something beyond narcissistic self-referential cacophoners (see Markiplier) and I believe I hit bedrock. This evening, my friends, I delved a bit too deep into the YouTubes.
