The One Second Collab

May 29, 2008 By: RabbitSnore Category: Poop News 9 Comments →

YouTube Poop has many factors to consider when you look at one’s work. The sources, effects, and styles used are generally the main focus, but something we all consider is length. Some of us create videos that are under a minute and some of us create videos that push the time limit YouTube has set to the edge, nearing ten minutes. A few community-wide jokes have spawned from videos with immensely short lengths, such as Hulk Hogan or Captain Falcon with their now somewhat famous grunts and groans. While these mini-videos are great, someone in our community has began a collaboration where the goal is to create with a maximum of one second to work with. The One Second Collab, ran by mcmungo, shall be a project that will shelter thirty different videos, all one second in length.

As of writing this, the One Second Collab is no longer taking entries (unless one of the thirty participants is no longer entering and a replacement is needed).

I was able to speak with mcmungo and get the specs from the host of this collaboration himself.

YTP News - “So, what is the One Second Collab?”

mcmungo - “The one second collab is just what it sounds like. Since most people won’t bother with making a collab entry that’s over a minute or so, my collab only requires one second of poop. That way, anyone can enter. Making a succesful poop can be hard, but a one second video will almost always be good, no matter what it is. I’ve seen quite a lot of different entries, and it will be interesting to see how the full thing turns out.”

YTP News - “What is the goal of the One Second Collab?”

mcmungo - “I’ve always wanted to make a collabration, ever since I joined these forums. I never thought I had an original idea for a collab, so I just kept quiet. But I actually felt pretty good about this idea. So basically my goal with this was to make a successful collab.”

YTP News - “Why did you decide to run this collaboration?”

mcmungo - “I got the inspiration to make it from a conversation I had with some other poopers on the Poop TV channel. We were talking about collabs or something, and then it just popped into my head. A couple of days later I posted the idea on the forums, and apparently people liked it.”

YTP News - “How do you feel about this collaboration and it’s progress?”

mcmungo - “It was alot more well recieved than I thought it would be. I have made some dumb threads during the time I’ve been here, so I thought that most users would probably just ignore the whole thing. As of now, I have 30 entrants (about half of them have sent in their entries). So yeah, I think this collab is progressing great.”

YTP News - “Thank you for your participation, mcmungo. Good luck with the collaboration.”

mcmungo - “You’re welcome. Thanks for the opportunity to help. I hope my answers were good enough.”

The collaboration has no official deadline and, as stated before the interview, is no longer accepting new participants. Among the list of participants are Ophios, Gamebop, Lighting Spike, Gallers, Temeku, KonXII, herbert spatula, Erarg, and myself. For the entire list of participants, which contains many well known names in the community besides the ones here, as well as a glimpse at some of the entries, visit the official thread here.

From YTP News, good luck to mcmungo and everyone else participating in the One Second Collab.

Sonicnerd’s Poop Tennis Review: RabbitSnore vs. GameCubeHero

May 27, 2008 By: admin Category: Poop Tennis No Comments →

RabbitSnore and GameCubeHero are no strangers to the poop community. Rabbit is, after all, a forum admin, and GameCubeHero made Richard Nixon roll in his grave. But we’re not here to talk about their forum accomplishments. Oh, no. We’re here to talk about their pooping skills. So buckle up, and prepare for the ride of your life.

Round 1 - RabbitSnore - Fox’s Anarchistic Picnic

And Rabbit hits the first serving HARD! Damn! Rabbit uses a good mix of repitition and ear rape. Surprisingly, he didn’t use stutter, something I was familiar with in my previous review. The sources he used were Star Wars: Clone Wars, Star Fox Assault, and I think Cowboy Bebop. He used slow mo in all of the right moments he could have, such as DEFEND THE CITY, WE MUST. He also used split frame for a scene with a jedi in a starfighter cockpit. I enjoyed this greatly.

Round 2 - GameCubeHero - Fox’s Anarchistic Sandwich

Oh, lol. That’s all I had to say. This was a huge improvement from the first round, where GameCubeHero strutted his fancy stuff well. He added stutter and pitch change elements into the fray and even a Yo! What’s up? remix of Saria’s song. I also liked the fact that this was in stereo for some parts. That made the ear raping really effective. He added a clips of a guy who looks like he was from that “You want this _____?” cartoon and Resident Evil. This was a good round, and it is hard to believe that this is only the 2nd round.

Round 3 - RabbitSnore - Jill’s Anarchistic Popsicle

Rabbit himself said he didn’t really like this. I thought it was meh. It was good in ear rape value, but not much else. The Jill repetition was a bit annoying, and the Yo! What’s up? remix this time was joined by a judge or cop or whatever. Rabbit added a movie about crime and a some clip with fire. I have to admit though, that scene that combined the zombie moment with that guy’s creepy look is just… Scary. Period. Other than that, Rabbit put together an average poop that was a dissapointment after round 2, in my opinion.

Round 4 - GameCubeHero - Jill’s Narcisstic Popcicle

Okay, GameCubeHero. This round is effing win. This time, there’s more ear rape, more stutter, and another remix. This time set to Zelda’s Lullaby. This wasn’t a remix per se, but it was hilarious due to the fact that a guy was getting brutally murdered by zombies in the middle of it. Then, we were treated to split frame ear rape, the best kind. GameCubeHero added more Resident Evil clips and that one peeing baby commercial. I think that GameCubeHero did it again and made a great round.

Round 5 - RabbitSnore - Liquid Snake’s Narcissistic Jill Sandwich

This one was a nice comeback for Rabbit. It featured what was like an acid trip. He reversed the previously mentioned zombie murder, which was a nice touch. Then, he split screened Metal Gear with that “You want this _____?” guy, which made me laugh. He added, most obviously, Metal Gear Solid and not much else. Rabbit made a great final round for himself. At least it made me chuckle, and that’s what counts…….Right?

Round 6 - GameCubeHero - Liquid Snake’s Narcisstic Death

While not as powerful as GCH’s previous rounds, he still made an average poop. He nearly dropped the stereo ear rape that I had come to love in Round 2 and 4. GCH added more Metal Gear clips and that’s basically it. I loved one sentence mixing moment which included caribou. Other than that, it seemed that just because it was the final round, I think GCH thought that his job was done and only had to go easy on him.

All in all, this was an epic match, as was all of Rabbit’s other matches, although I say that out of all the rounds in this match, I liked GCH’s the best. If only Rabbit upped the ante a bit more, this would be enough to consider a legendary round. I really was dissapointed with the final round, but hey, that’s me. I don’t have to love it.

Movie Review - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

May 24, 2008 By: RabbitSnore Category: Media, Quick Reviews No Comments →

Twin Peaks is a series made by David Lynch, a man whose movies include Eraserhead, Dune, and Inland Empire. His two-season series, Twin Peaks, resembles one movie of his, Blue Velvet, in that small towns hide many dark secrets. Twin Peaks is about FBI Agent Cooper who comes to the logging town to figure out who murdered a high school girl named Laura Palmer. It was a riveting series that left people asking more, and kept going after learning who was the murderer.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was made in 1992. It’s a sort of prequel to Twin Peaks. I say “sort-of” because you need to be a little familiar with the series to fully understand what is happening. How about I review some things, eh?

Plot (5/5):
The movie starts out with FBI agents investigating a murder of a teenage girl. After some intense scenes that Twin Peaks/Lynch fans are familiar with, the movie follows Laura Palmer and all the events that lead up to her death. The film’s plot helps relate Laura Palmer’s horrible life and problems to the audience. In Twin Peaks, the first episode (hell, the pilot), Laura Palmer is dead from the start and all we know about her is what unfolds as the series progresses. Fire Walk With Me beautifully demonstrates Laura’s demons and fears as she deals with drugs, boyfriends, and the ever-demonic Bob. The film does reveal who really kills Laura Palmer, however, so if you want to wait for the surprise, watch the series first. However, if you can’t wait, it may provide an incentive to watch, trying to figure out how the killer is revealed and et cetera.

Sound (5/5):
If you are familiar with David Lynch, you are familiar with the intense, powerful music that fill his movies. Fire Walk With Me includes many haunting melodies that bring out the horror and pain in the scene. The original Twin Peaks melody (used in the opening credits of the show) is also in the movie, and works quite well, despite the darker theme (more on tha later). The sound effects are very effective as well, like the sounds that accompany Bob and the other characters. I use “sound” very broadly, but it’s really the only way to describe them. Intense howls, buzzes, crashes; these describe partly what they are, but listening to them, you will understand how it sounds.

Direction (5/5):
I have to give David Lynch credit, he made another masterpiece that interweaves reality with that of the unknown, the dark. This film is very much Twin Peaks, so if you enjoyed the series, you automatically like this movie. There are some big differences between the series and movie, however. Fire Walk With Me is very “adult” (Twin Peaks, while dark, was still made for TV). It’s like Twin Peaks’ older, cruder brother. However, I don’t think the movie would have been as effective if it was the same as the series. This is a Lynch film all the way, bringing sex and murder into full view, in all its horror. The club scene, for example, shows Laura Palmer doing drugs, getting naked, and getting lost in the horror of it all. You couldn’t show half of that on TV, so the scene feels so much more to the audience. We, the audience, connect and feel for Laura, and we start to feel total regret and remorse because we know from the beginning that she dies. The movie was wonderfully made to show the true horror and hell of Twin Peaks, which takes many episodes of the series to get across.

Overall (I SAID I’M WORRIED ABOUT COOP!):
If you are a big Twin Peaks fan, this film is a must-see. But what of those who never saw Twin Peaks, or is only familiar with Eraserhead? The film may seem incredibly bizarre, because of the strange characters and the disregard for normality in this (or any Lynch) film. However, this is a great way to get into Lynch. It has a little bit of the humor from the series itself, has a great cast, and if you like the movie you may get into David Lynch! However, Lynch is not for everyone. Not everyone understands his movies and it can be very hard to “start” becoming a fan. If you want to try being a Lynch fan, watch Blue Velvet, which is similar to Twin Peaks. If you like it, try out Fire Walk With Me. It’s an intense and crazy ride.

FUN FACT: There was enough stuff shot to easily make a sequel, but a lot of scenes were cut. Most scenes cut included characters from the series that don’t appear in the movie otherwise.
