Hot Kool-Aid: The Dark Side of Julian Smith

thumb|right|387 px There was a video on YouTube called "Hot Kool-Aid". 
It features two British brothers, one of whom has made a "pot of Kool-Aid." An argument ensues, bringing lots of simple laughs. But what we didn't realize was that Julian Smith (the person who made the video) has made a pilot version of the video, but with different outcomes. The video was made around June 5th, 2008, instead of July 22nd, 2009, and had no more than 10 views before it was taken down quickly due to graphic content. 
A more "family friendly" version of the video was made a year later, so that their children won't be traumatized for . Even though it was almost identical to the original video. It even grew 25,356,510 views each day. 
I was one of those viewers. And the viewer who first saw it, I remembered it vividly, but it's been years since I first saw it before it was taken down by YouTube staff.
It starts off like the actual video; Julian comes out saying "Morning brother", and the other saying the same response back. Julian announces that he made a pot of Kool-Aid, and the other says that he can't make a pot of Kool-Aid. The conversation becomes decent till Julian's brother realizes that it's (of course) Hot Kool-Aid. Julian says that he can put some ice in it, but his brother dismisses the offer. 
This is where the argument begins.
Julien begins to constantly insist his brother to try the beverage as his brother kept refusing, till Julian became very angry, and yells at his brother for not drinking the Hot Kool-Aid. What caught us off guard was that instead of yelling that he hates him, he yells that he'll kill him. We thought that it was just something that he wrote for laughs, but this wasn't the case. 
The argument begins to shift into the subject of Julian making cinnamon toast with mayonnaise. Till Julian broke the subject with a loud shriek, forcing him to drink the beverage. Till his brother tells him to shut up in an angry, demanding sounding voice, like in Julian's other video "Malk". He tells Julian that he can't take his "abuse" much longer and that he's calling the cops. Julian becomes furious and uses the pot as a weapon, smashing it upside his brother's head. Julian begins to scream that he made him this way and begins to beat his brother severely. Even though it was all fake, it looked really painful to watch, as if it was one of those "Ronald McDonald videos" from The RackaRacka channel.
Julian began punching his brother till his fists became sore, and he pours Hot Kool-Aid on him, burning him like hot water from a shower. He whispers something like "Mom always liked you best ya bastard..." in his ear till he stomped on his brother's face, and he storms off scene, leaving his brother to soil in his guilt. Then the video ends.
The video caused a lot of horrid comments about what was shown, making it the hot topic of many rumors that Julian really abused his brother on camera. But Julian stated that he knew it was a bad idea to put content like this in his video, but the guy who did his brother made him do the video anyway. Now since YouTube deleted his video, Julian made his own version of the video instead, which gotten a lot of controversy over the years. There was even parodies and memes involving the new video. 
But what happened throughout those two minutes and eighteen seconds, was more than just another "nostalgic memory".
