This guy Dannyyy

Daniel Palma (born: ),https://twitter.com/SpongeBob_DS better known online as This guy Dannyyy, is a Mexican-American YouTuber known for making Plotagon videos, along with a variety of content over the past years before deleting them.
He is known for making Caillou Gets Grounded videos by using Plotagon since December 2015 and January 2016, making him one of the most notable Plotagon creators on YouTube with the same popularity as Sham Sundar and Mayor Zane.https://youtu.be/54uogFJzEbA Not only does he make videos on his channel, but he also posts comments on popular YouTube channels such as SML, MrBeast, PewDiePie, IShowSpeed, Daily Dose Of Internet, Aphmau, Jacksepticeye, CoryxKenshin, TommyInnit, Penguinz0, SSSniperWolf, ZHC, and many more, as well as small and irrelevant YouTube channels. From June 2018 to September 2020, he used to be notable to over a thousand SML fans for his appearances and communications in the comments section of SML's, Chilly's, and Titototter's (sometimes Lance Thirtyacre's and KirbStomp’s) videos. To date, he doesn’t upload many videos like he used to, but it seems he uploads at least one video every 2–3 months before going hiatus, and since he is using his account to post comments on various YouTube channels, he is still active on YouTube.
== About ==
=== Content ===
He makes Caillou Gets Grounded videos using Plotagon. He has other grounded series based on different characters, but they're currently discontinued or on hiatus. There are about 21 episodes in each season, with new changes including different voices, unique themes, new styles, and more. Most of his videos contain strong language that is not suitable for young children. Since 2017, he has been using customized thumbnails for his videos and background music from video games and other media instead of the selected background music from Plotagon in 2019. The profile picture on his channel is the Xbox 360 version of his Avatar character, and his current channel's banner is a solid blue background with rainbow text of his username filled with characters and miscellaneous from television shows and video games. Since the first episode of his Caillou Gets Grounded Season 7 videos, he seems to upload videos based on trending topics and events that occurred in Generation Alpha. 
He had over 50 videos uploaded on his channel from 2014 to late 2015, but most of them have been deleted. He never stated an explanation for the reasoning for deleting them, but it could be possible he was trying to clean up his channel's page so he could upload his Caillou Gets Grounded videos at the time he started making them. Most of his videos were found on the Internet Archive: Wayback Machinehttps://web.archive.org/web/20210601000000*/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMEKA9xh3aExeiXe9zMQvcQ until the URL link to his channel changed in 2021 (or before), meaning all his old videos are lost, with none of them recovered or found. 
=== Comments section ===
He is seen in the comments section of the most popular YouTube channels, under replies to the most-liked comments, and frequently posts his comments on SML, IShowSpeed, and Penguinz0. In the comments section of SML's videos, he is always seen to be the first person to reply under the pinned comments by typing in a single letter before editing it.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFK-mFxeyBEMM-kG4BJEyqw/community?lb=UgkxUGkF8grv7p4KnpSftBJt_WFAESsnmaPuhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFK-mFxeyBEMM-kG4BJEyqw/community?lb=UgkxcdwQCCIc9dkbgIvGVD41ibu9t8xOneGW He likes to list ideas using titles based on Glider's YouTube Poop videos in the pinned and most-liked comments.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6RytxpH_Q1ka4-mwKY04Lg/community?lb=UgkxHAifuDKgMeFBNCkZJxXpJ2QspVbt7hBN If he is not the first person to leave a reply on the pinned comments of SML's videos, then he would post an apology for not commenting on the previous video in the next SML videos. He has been accused by various users, such as Cliffordlonghead, Nerdtendo, and The Roblox Fan 2K10, of "cheating" or "hacking" the comments section of videos due to being the first person to reply before anyone else. Later in early 2024, a couple of users, such as Jace Duarte and Stainy Studio, also accused This guy Dannyyy, of spamming his "list of ideas" under every comment on the latest SML videos. Since he has been posting his ideas for "future" SML videos, he has been getting hated and called out by a variety of viewers for "spamming" his comments on every SML video, causing them to leave negative comments on his channel, mostly on the latest videos after "Caillou Destroys His Dad’s Favorite Game/Grounded" and "Caillou Rides a Submarine/Grounded". Furthermore, he has been getting accused of "stealing" plots from SML videos instead of using his own ideas, due to the synopses of "Caillou Steals From Walmart/ Goes To Court" and "Caillou Attempts the One Chip Challenge/ Goes Wrong" being too similar to "SML Movie: Jeffy Attacks The Judge!" and "SML Movie: Cody's Challenge!".https://youtu.be/TLKwuCS3FFs 
Prior to listing his ideas for SML videos using titles of Glider's videos in his comment, he posted spam comments by using a majority topic as "like" and the minority topic as "reply" during 2019 and 2020 until "SML Movie: Jeffy Learns Manners!" after causing a minor controversy that offended most of the viewers by insulting people for those who don't have Super Mario 3D All-Stars for the Nintendo Switch. In the comments section of other relevant YouTube channels, he seems to post his comments in hateful ways, like accusing YouTube channels with verified badges next to their name for buying their account online instead of earning subscribers in a like-form content way. He did this to Veshremy once on "SML Movie: Dunken Donuts!", and on IShowSpeed's music video Dogs (2023) to various users such as JackieZ, MrUnknown, King Cid, etc. Since Logan Thirtyacre launched his SML Gaming channel, he seems to post a list of video games for Thirtyacre and other associates to play, using titles developed and published by Nintendo under the pinned comment of their videos.
== History ==
He created his channel on February 23, 2014, and uploaded his first few videos several days later. Most of the early videos he uploaded from February to May 2014 were toy reviews, drawings, and a "try not to laugh" challenge using images of memes before being deleted in July 2014. No information can be found about his drawing and try not to laugh videos, but there were two toy review videos found: the first video of him showcasing his collection of plush toys of The Smurfs manufactured by Nanco and the second video reviewing the Fisher-Price Sesame Street Elmo Knows Your Name Phone released in 2006. Both were unlisted until he deleted them in January 2016. 
At the beginning of August 2014, he uploaded a gameplay video of the Smurfs’ Village mobile game and a tutorial video on enabling Emojis on iOS devices from his iPad, and later that month, he uploaded gameplay videos of Blocksworld. Between December 2014 and February 2015, he uploaded gameplay videos from Outfit7's Talking Tom & Friends mobile games screen-recorded from an iOS device, but almost all of his Talking Tom videos have been deleted, except for one video of a Talking Ben video with an audio clip from the South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut movie. Most of his Talking Tom videos used audio from the songs All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor and Do You Like Waffles? by Parry Gripp.
From July to August 2015, he uploaded another variety of videos. He uploaded plush videos of using a Barney and a Tie Dye Monkey plush toy on his videos, in which the audio in the background was used from one of African Vulture's videos (currently deleted). Both of them were characters refusing to go to school while their parents were recording their child's behavior and throwing a tantrum. In the background of both of his videos, two SpongeBob SquarePants plush toys could be seen in the cameo behind the characters. The third video he uploaded to his channel showcased his collection of Nintendo DS games, and by the end of 2015, all three of them were deleted without any notice.
Between August and November 2015, he uploaded gaming videos on his channel, and most of them were for the Nintendo DS played on his Nintendo 3DS systems. He uploaded walkthrough videos for Sonic Rush and The Simpsons Game for the Nintendo DS, as well as a review for New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 64 DS, Kirby Super Star Ultra for the Nintendo DS, and Banjo-Tooie for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade (on the Xbox One console). None of them had commentary, and until the beginning of 2016, he deleted all his gaming videos. Between September and November 2015, more variety videos were uploaded to his channel, such as Name That Character, Compare the Difference, and ranting videos inspired by Brendan Barney, where he ranted on children’s TV shows such as Peppa Pig, Bubble Guppies, Caillou, and Mike the Knight, but all of them were deleted in January 2016, after he started uploading his Caillou Gets Grounded videos.
On December 29, 2015, he uploaded his first Plotagon video, and since then, he has been getting recognition from GoAnimate and Plotagon users in terms of his content and started earning subscribers on his channel for making his Caillou Gets Grounded videos. In July 2016, he uploaded four videos unrelated to his Plotagon videos, in which he uploaded a video comparing the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance versions of SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab and three slideshow videos, asking users "which model of GoAnimate characters is accurate" (similar to Alan The Video Maker and ElPatron036 The Video Maker),https://youtu.be/54uogFJzEbA?t=30 but all of them have been removed from his channel since then.
In 2017 and 2019, he started uploading different series other than Caillou Gets Grounded. In July 2017, he uploaded a drama series featuring Chris the Custom Character, which revolved around a couple getting into arguments over Chris watching Barney & Friends on TV instead of spending time with his wife. In August 2017, on the day the first episode of Caillou Gets Grounded Season 3 was released, he uploaded a spin-off series revolving around Caillou's little sister, Rosie, getting grounded by causing troubles in numerous ways. In 2019, he created a grounded series based on a notable fan-fiction GoAnimate character named Violy, but the series was removed on December 24, 2022, after This guy Dannyyy, announced his return to his YouTube channel.
