Troom Troom

Troom Troom is a multinational Ukrainian YouTube channel that uploads videos of easy DIY tutorials, life hacks, crafts, and pranks, often criticized by many users to be quite "unsettling" and scary. They're infamous for videos such as how to sneak food into school, how to make your lips look like the inside of an orange, and numerous teacher/partner prank videos.
It has been under debate if Troom Troom is an honest attempt at a craft channel by foreigners, an abstract work of Surreal Humor parodying many popular prank/life hack videos, or something more sinister.
The channel's videos are dubbed over the given language, such as English on Troom Troom, French on Troom Troom FR, and so on, with the scripts noticeably originally written in Ukraine and given to the English-speaking narrator who seems to either be not allowed or not willing to modify the odd phrasing.
==History==
Troom Troom joined YouTube on September 12th, 2015. The channel debuted on October 2015 as a seemingly normal place to find videos on how to do crafts. 
On April 19, 2015, they created a secondary channel called Troom Troom SELECT, a French-speaking channel named Troom Troom FR, a German one called Troom Troom DE, a Japanese channel called Troom Troom JP, and a Portuguese channel named Troom Troom PT. Every channel posts a variation of the first Troom Troom video on the day of their creation.
Troom Troom kept this fun craft model for the next year or so, until sometime in early 2017, when more actresses began being featured on the channel and it morphed into a bizarre combination of prank videos, strange D.I.Y's, crafts, and life hacks.
On February 5, 2016, they created a Spanish channel named Troom Troom ES.
On February 24, 2022, during the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, Troom Troom, Troom Troom Trick, etc. changed their profile pictures that resembles the Ukrainian Flag. However, despite this, Troom Troom continues to post content that were recorded before the invasion. 
==Controversies==
===Criticism===
Since Troom Troom's recent rise in popularity, they have often been made fun of and have gained a lot of criticism from viewers and fellow YouTubers for a variety of reasons. Troom Troom is generally more notably criticized by their flaws in grammar and expression which are often called "unsettling" or "unnatural sounding," their exaggerated photoshopped thumbnails, and their DIYs/pranks which are often seen as "pointless" and far from "pranks" at all. A noticeable unnatural factor is regarding the narrator's phrasing, and how she is usually quick to point out facts the audience surely already knows by sight, such as when the Blue Eyed Girl is shown shivering--she would state, "The Blue Eyed Girl is cold!".
A rise of videos have been made commonly addressed as "Troom Troom rants", "Following a Troom Troom video" or "reacting to Troom Troom" often in a joking manner due to how absurd they are. Notably, Cristine from Simply Nailogical has made various Troom Troom-related content on her channel, as well as YouTuber Danny Gonzalez. Jarvis Johnson also made various videos on Troom Troom and its content.
DIY YouTuber Brianna Reneé expressed how she felt about Troom Troom, saying she feels like they do not put time into their work and somehow upload more than once a day and still get lots of views, unlike hardworking DIY YouTubers with great content who aren't getting as many views as they used to.

==Quotes==
*"It's not a problem anymore!" (18 Nail Hacks! Nail Art Hack Compilation and others)
*"You might turn fat... and ugly" (15 Funny Couple Pranks / Prank Wars 2018)
*"There's a strange ball in my stocking" (12 Christmas Pranks! Prank Wars! 2017)
==Trivia==
*The stock brother character, "Mickey" (really just one of the actresses in men's clothes), is usually the target of the more extreme pranks by his sister, "Betsy".
*Every prank Redhead attempts to pull on her friend ends up affecting her instead.
*Apart from the Stevie Gonzalez character, men generally never appear to show up in the videos. Whenever a male character is called for, one of the actresses puts on men's clothing and paints a fake beard on their face.
**Stevie Gonzalez is thought to be a direct reference to YouTuber Danny Gonzalez as a response to his videos about them. Stevie appears to have the same hairstyle, and is seen as ill-mannered and fame-hungry, often checking his "Instagram likes", implying Stevie could be an internet influencer.
*Christie and Ben are also thought to be a direct reference to YouTuber Simply Nailogical (Cristine Rotenberg) and her boyfriend Ben. Cristine makes videos of herself making fun of Troom Troom and trying out their dumb hacks. Christie and Ben are always pranking each other and they appear to be dating like Cristine and Ben are.
