Piemations

Michael "Mike" Pitts (born: ), better known online as Piemations, is an American YouTuber, animator, writer, director, composer, and voice actor. His most popular videos include parodies of My Little Pony, Team Fortress 2, Five Nights at Freddy's, and a few YouTubers' Let's Plays. His most well-known work is a series called "Meet the Amazing Team", a collection of parody animations of the class introductions for Team Fortress 2.
==History==
Mike began YouTube on July 8, 2010. He uploaded his first video called Epic levels of randomness on his older channel under the name 'ExplodingPivot'. Here, he uploaded stick-figure animations made in Pivot. It wasn't until about a year later when he released 'When life gives ya lemons....', which, as stated in one of his Twitch streams, was considered his first Flash animation.
Mike began the current channel in 2012 with the first of his "Meet the Amazings" series, Meet the Amazing Spy. Since then, his animation and art skills have greatly improved, and he has even dabbled in Source Filmmaker with the Team Fortress 2 models in small nonsensical skits. Michael has shown his face in a couple of update videos, but apart from that, he hasn't revealed a lot of information about himself.
Mike is known for collaborating with the YouTuber known as Kuledud3 (now MsBreezy) in a number of animations he made for her channel, which include 'When Sanics Attack!' and 'GRUNKLE STAN NO'. He is also known for killing Hoovy's, Spycrabs, and Tick Spencers by being a Soldier.
After YouTube has introduced the new Terms and Service, he took the decision to start making original animations. He then canceled all parody animation projects that he worked on and stopped monetizing his videos. He instead made a Patreon page to be able to fund his original animations and has stopped including mature contents in most of his videos (although later he did make videos with vulgar language after Sheriff Hayseed was published).
It was revealed on Twitter that he has a boyfriend, potentially fellow YouTuber Xycron (aka Robin, MsBreezy’s ex boyfriend) since the tweet he made announcing it was art from his boyfriend, the art being one of Piemations’ OCs and the other being Xycron’s My Little Pony avatar from Gmod.
==Series==
===Sheriff Hayseed===
After having enough money, he has made and released an episode of his brand new, family-friendly original animation series, Sheriff Hayseed. The first episode, "Strategically Stupid" was released on August 19, 2017. The animation received mostly positive reviews with fans, saying that they're happy to finally see Piemations has created something original. On the other side, haters started calling him "a furry", judging by the use of animal characters with human characteristics, while some called it "cringy." Piemations' fans however have defended him, saying that there is a lot of other "furry animations" out there which are way worse and that haters should "get out of here" if they think this is cringy.
Sheriff Hayseed takes place in a town in the West known as Troughwater. The main characters are Todd Hayseed, a fox who works as the sheriff of Troughwater, and Shawn Burrowitz, a donkey who is Todd's best friend who works as the deputy of Troughwater. The series also has its own original soundtrack which was written by Piemations and Blake Swift (also known as ShadyVox). The soundtrack was also composed and sung by Swift while also voicing the character Shawn (and the Snakes in Strategically Stupid).
===Meet the Amazing Team series===
His first video, Meet the Amazing Spy, was the start of the Meet the Amazing Team Series, where he makes TF2 parodies based on what happens in the game. Meet the Amazing Mesmarus, was the finale to the TF2 Meet the Amazing series but has made another Meet the Amazing Team series for Overwatch, starting with Meet the Amazing Tracer. However, due to YouTube changing their Terms and Service back in mid-2017.  He has started producing more original content.
===5AM at Freddy’s===
5AM at Freddy’s is by far, Piemation’s most iconic series, mainly the second video. All five of the episodes took place over the course of the first four Five Nights at Freddy’s games and the Security Breach, always at 5AM. 
The first video revolves around the night guard celebrating 6AM hitting, before realising it was 5AM the whole time.
The second video (5AM at Freddy’s: The prequel) involves Withered Foxy trying to convince Toy Bonnie that the night guard isn’t Freddy, and is just the night guard using the mask to fool him, and tries multiple things to convince him. Such as trying to get Balloon Boy to back him up, although BB only cares about the flashlight batteries and tries to get Withered Freddy, who is also fooled by the mask. This of course, references how Withered Foxy is the only character (besides Puppet) who can kill you while wearing the mask, due to him not being fooled by it. At 5:59am, Foxy reveals the night guard to everyone, however they’re foiled the moment 6:00am strikes, just as Foxy is about to kill the guard.
5:AM at Freddy’s: The Sequel, involves the night guard facing off against Springtrap, who is constantly fooled by the audio lure. Springtrap attempts to get Phantom Freddy to help him, claiming the night guard hid a child in the building, meaning they can’t throw a birthday party for them. Phantom Foxy then shows up and hands the night guard a crowbar because he’s bored, allowing the guard to defeat Springtrap and reach 6:00AM
The fourth video, 5AM at Freddy’s: The Final Whore Views. Instead, takes place over the course of one night. This time, the child takes on many threats. These include Nightmare Bonnie asking for the WiFi Password, Nightmare Foxy being in the closet, one of the Freddles shaving the back of the child’s hair and blaming it on another Freddle and Nightmare Freddy, Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare in a band known as “Freddy and the Fazbears”. Chica notably makes her only appearance throughout the entire series in this video, however off screen, asking if she can be in a video, but soon learns that the series “died” thanks to FNAF World.
In the fifth 5AM at Freddy’s video (released 7 years after the Final Whore Views was released) revolves around Gregory trying to find a way out of the daycare with the help of Glamrock Freddy. Gregory and Glamrock Freddy are seen exploring different areas of the daycare such as the play area where Moondrop is. When they both return to the main part of the daycare, they both are caught by mainly Roxanne wolf, who can be seen wanting to take Gregory out of the daycare. When Gregory said he technically wanted out of the daycare, Glamrock Freddy kicks him out before he can finish what he was trying to say.
===Suction Cup Man===
Suction Cup Man is another one of Piemations' original series, where it originally was a South Park parody animation. Being based on an event where a 19-year-old Virginia man named Stephen Rogata who climbed Trump Tower and made it to the top. Piemations made the animation in the style of South Park. He did so because he wanted to make fun of the situation, as the show’s most known for making fun of real world events. 
The series of currently four episodes, involves a man named Stuart Lambert, who calls himself the titular Suction Cup Man, climbing towers with his suction cups, specifically the one of his enemy. Simply named Business Dummy. According to Suction Cup Man, in his official theme song, the reason he climbs towers is because it’s, in his words. “f***ing funny”. 
The first episode, introduces Suction Cup Man and Business Dummy. Alongside The Cops (Who were later revealed to be a gay couple on Piemation’s Twitter). The latter three attempt to stop Suction Cup Man from climbing Business Dummy’s tower. With Business Dummy failing, and the cops succeeding, shooting Suction Cup Man down. Somehow, Suction Cup Man is still alive, and then runs off. 
In episode two. Suction Cup Man is hired by Donald Trump to stop North Korea sending a missile to the US. During this, he batters with Kim-Jong Un, and sings a song to him about how much of a bitch he is. Suction Cup Man does the mission with succession, and gets one free climb on anything of his choosing, as a reward. Said thing, is, of course, Business Dummy’s tower.
In episode three, Suction Cup Man is killed on the highway, after Business Dummy sprays him with his new spray “Anti-Suction Cup Window Cleaner”, which also reveals his company specialises in cleaning products. Once dead, he lands in hell, and is greeted by Satan. But in typical Suction Cup Man fashion, he begins climbing his way out, and bickers with the leader of hell. He soon leaves it. And leaves, all whilst singing to Satan to "eat a d***."
In the fourth episode. Business Dummy has enough of Suction Cup Man climbing his tower, so he sues him in court, and wins. Preventing Suction Cup Man from climbing anything with his cups ever again. He attempts other ways, but fails, leading to him falling into a deep depression, and eventually winds up in a s** store, where he begins to use dildos to climb towers, now under the alias “P**** Man”. After SCM makes a speech about everything else he can think of being used as a suction cup. Business Dummy decides to drop the case, on the condition that his tower is climbed on the weekends.
