LankyBox

LankyBox is an American YouTube channel created by the comedy duo, Justin "Justie" Kroma (born: ) and Adam James McArthur (born: ), known for their variety gameplays and notably, their zero budget remakes of well-known music videos and clips from various shows and movies.
==Content==
===Zero-Budget Parodies===
One of their most well-known videos are their zero-budget parodies. They used to re-create music videos by using zero-budget props, such as using chip bags as hair, and construction paper as backgrounds. They have since stopped making zero-budget parodies of music videos because of YouTube’s Copyright Laws, and have since started to make these parodies on movies. Justin also makes many puns in these videos.
===Guess The Price ===
LankyBox created a show where Justin or Adam test different products and try to guess the price of those products. Whoever wins gets to play the mystery game on the wheel. The games on the wheel are decided by the fans of LankyBox. They also bring their friends to the mix, which include Cooky (a pink rabbit plushie from BT21, a project created by BTS for LINE), Chimmy (a dog plushie wearing a yellow hoodie, also from BT21), Boxy (a cardboard box plushie from Lankybox) and Dumbo from Disney.
===LankyBox Animated Stories===
LankyBox has made animated stories about their pasts. One of the episodes revealed that Justin had tried to sneak into an R-rated horror movie with his friend in middle school, and refused to get in up until the people started checking tickets, and other episodes revealed that Adam dated his best friend's sister, and also got caught cheating with his crush in middle school.
===Noob VS Pro VS Hacker===
The Noob VS Pro Vs Hacker was a series that LankyBox used to do a lot in 2021. The series is about where LankyBox plays a game, and they start as a Noob. Then they start to become a pro. Then they become a "Hacker". Now in 2022, They don't do this a lot anymore.
===Riddle Videos===
LankyBox used to react to riddle videos back in 2019. The series was simple. They look at riddles on YouTube and try to guess them. They started to do this type of content again on 2021. Now they make these kinds of videos very frequently. The riddle videos in 2021 and 2022 had Video Game characters and movie characters in there, but it was mostly full of stuff like, Sonic EXE, Five Nights at Freddy's, Encanto, Turning Red, etc.
===Compilation Videos===
These are just videos that have their videos they made in the past such as Adopt Me! videos, Guess The Price videos, etc. Now they usually have thumbnails with Rainbow Friends in them or Poppy Playtime, but they are similar to the streams they used to make.
