I have never understood the existence of youtube poop. I don't find it funny or interesting and its existence makes me angry. The thing that really confuses me is that there are some considered to be 'bad' and some considered to be 'good'. How is this judged?

What am I missing? what enjoyment am I meant to get from watching them? why do they exist? can somone please enlighten me because they just annoy the hell out of me.

If someone can think of a really good example of a good youtube poop then please feel free to link it.

Well...the escapist has rules against low content posts. Youtube poop is one example of what happens when you don't. Everyone convinced they are a creative genius finds a way to express themselves and nothing to indicate they might want to put any effort in.

On occasion I do find it entertaining, much as I hate to admit. There's not really any standard of for quality, you watch it and either you laugh or you don't.

Yeah I'll have to disagree with some of the above posters. I'll admit I have no idea why but the "good" YouTube poops usually make me laugh. And trust me, there are absolutely bad ones. For instance, the one posted about and the one Hammeroj posted made me laugh a little bit.

Ok I would link it but I can't remember the specific name of it and there are probably loads of worse versions but it was a youtube poop of egoraptor's Metal gear awesome 2 and it was actually ok. Still retarded compared to the original though..

Ok, maybe I spoke too soon, I remembered:

It probably helps to hate the original story, though.

Though, Sturgeons law gives us some idiot's attempts at a few dozen almost identical things, it would seem.

Simple test to determine if you'll like youtube poop.


1: Do you still giggle when people make innuendo jokes?
2: Do you laugh at things that are so empirically awful they should never exist?
3: Do you have a thick skin?


If you answered yes to any of those you'll like it, because by and large that's what YTP is. I love 'em, myself...now if you'll excuse me, there's some snooPING AS usual I need to do.

This is an axample of a good one. Quality is dependent upon the creativity and utter butchery of the original material. Remember, most of the stuff from the author of this video is good.

I personally love Youtube Poops. As for how they are judged, I think it all boils down to personal preference and how much effort people place into their poops. This one I think is a good example of how a good YTP should be.


Others, like one of these ear rape ones, I don't think are that good at all.

It's immature humor. That doesn't some of it isn't good, it's just immature, and that isn't in everyone's taste.

Like South Park.

It's really a matter of taste. If you don't like it, you don't like it. ButtonsTheDragon makes some good ones, so give those a shot.

I am confused as the what the hell youtube poop is.
Basically remixing videos in a generally poor fashion as some sort of a joke. Like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT55pvSe9R4].

...Aaaaand OP, don't sweat it. Hardly anybody with a functioning sense of humour enjoys those pieces of crap.
I've never heard of or seen YouTube Poop before and parts of that video were pretty funny.

And I have a great sense of humor.

Maybe it is just something that is not for everybody? Ya know...like all things?

I can't believe I still find YTP hilarious, but I do.

It really does help to have an immature sense of humour, and as for judging good and bad ones, it's pretty much personal preference, like how people like different music I guess.

Pertaining to the CD-I one's, the material they have to work with is laughably bad to begin with. So its not too hard to mess around with it and makes something funny.

Here's one of my favorites.
