Flashgitz

Thomas "Tom" Edgar Hinchliffe & Donald "Don" Jeremy Gregerhttps://web.archive.org/web/20151013032356/http://www.flashgitz.net/the-culprits/, better known online as Flashgitz, are YouTubers who make animated videos that are usually about their own original characters or characters from different franchises including Mario from Nintendo. Their videos are typically shown from a rather reactionary and generally center-right position.
== Overview ==
Most of their videos vary by length and can range from under a minute to over 10 minutes long. The videos also range in animation style depending on the subject of that video. Most Flashgitz videos are satirical in nature and range from a variety of different topics such as gaming, fandoms, and politics. 
One of their most popular series of videos is called The Furry Crusades, which follows The Black Templars commiting a seemingly endless crusade against furries. The series currently consists of 8 videos. Another series called Show Quest has 10 videos, but the series has since then ended. In addition to animation, Flashgitz make vlogs which show the creators doing various things such as getting a show and other activities that might spark interest in the audience.
=== Racist Mario (Graphic Content Warning) ===
Flashgitz' most well known video is quite possibly "Racist Mario", an animation parody of Mario Kart with at least 150-million views.
During a Mario Kart race, Mario got angry about non-Nintendo characters being included in the race. As a result he goes completely mad, and goes on a killing rampage. Not only does he kill the non-Nintendo characters, but he goes as far as to kill characters from Nintendo themselves. Right as he is about to kill Luigi, he is suddenly killed by Kratos, resulting in the two entering a full-on death-race fight. Kratos eventually comes out on-top, and off-screen he skewers Mario's head next to Pac-Man's, who had been skewered by Kratos previously.
Interestingly, despite the amount of attention and suggestive themes, the video as of April 23, 2022 has not yet been taken down or age-restricted.
