Poopisms

Poopisms are the main elements that make up a YouTube poop. Without them, then there wouldn't be YouTube Poop. These are some of the techniques used by many poopers known as "Poopisms"

## **Techniques**

- Stutter Loop: Made by taking a portion of a clip, and copy and pasting it over and over. The first time this was seen was in the classic SuperYoshi YTP "I'D SAY HES HOT ON OUR TRAIL", making it the oldest poopism to date.

- Stutter Loop Plus: Adding different video effects for each loop

-Stutter Loop Minus: Taking the video footage away altogether. This is usually used to imply the characters in a sexual situation or having sex.

- Buzzing Stutter Loop: Same as the stutter loop but instead, makes a buzzing noise. Often used to imply that the viewer's computer has crashed.

- Scrambling/Random Chopping: Chopping a video up into little pieces (often frames) and placing them in a random order. This could be used to make the character speak gibberish.

- Sex-O-Phone: Used to amplify sexual tension between two characters in a poop. Usually with arousing saxophone music & visual effects to accompany it, hence the name.

- Dance Rave: Usually taking footage of a character dancing or looping footage to where it looks like its dancing and applying visual affects and energetic music such as techno or dubstep

- Reverse: Self-explanatory, reversing a clip to make it play backwards

- Sentence Mixing: Cutting up clips of a character saying a word or syllable, and rearranging those clips to make the character say something different. This is the most direct way of changing a character's dialogue.

- Meme Replacements: Taking a popular meme and putting it in the place of a word the character says. This is, sort-of, looked down upon in the community because of how instead of sentence mixing, you're just throwing in random words

- Stare Down/Mysterious Zoom (These are both very similar so I'm lumping them together): When you take a freeze frame of a character, often with an annoyed, angry, or shocked face. Mysterious Zoom is about the same, only this time you're zooming into the character's face.

- Bleep Censors: When you apply a tone to replace the word a character said, usually implying that they've said a swear.

- Ear-Rape: Blasting the sound of a clip to a high volume to catch the viewer off guard.

- Panning: Moving a clip around to make it appear like it is moving. This is often combined with other poopisms as most poopers see it as bland on its own.

- Tech Text: When text is placed on the screen, usually for a split second. This is often used as commentary of the pooper, pointing out visual mistakes, and/or random nonsense

- Paint Jobs: Finding an image and editing it in Photoshop, or more commonly, MS Paint. The Poopism is often laughed at and looked down on due to its poor quality, however, you can get good results if you're experienced in animation.

- SpaDinner: Usually used by inserting various famous quotes into YTPs, such as soundbites like "Dinner" or "Lotsa Spaghetti". These often use things like the CD-I cutscenes, Mario Cartoons, etc. It has been a meme at this point where collab entrants don't allow stuff such as SpaDinner or MLG. Such things, however, have become much less commonplace.
