** Youtube's main strategy in fighting the stick figures is to rapidly switch between videos. During the climax, The Second Coming quickly switches to a video with a water hose to propel Green towards the Upload button.
** Also, Youtube's constantly taking advantage of its own intangibility to its videos to attack the stick figures without hurting itself. When Green gets uploaded, this gets turned against it and it can't attack Green, but Green can break the boundaries of the video player to destroy Youtube.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: While the other stick figures show clear concern at seeing Green and The Second Coming lying exhausted on the ground, it's dispelled as soon as Green gives an ImOkay gesture, and beyond some brief surprise they don't give much thought to seeing the Youtube UI completely destroyed.

They are main characters.


* ADayInTheLimelight: In contrast with ''vs. Minecraft'', which had all the stick figures sharing the stage, this short focuses on Green and The Second Coming, with the others not appearing until the very end.

Do not put two tropes next to each others like this.

* AdaptationalJerkass + [[AdaptationalBadass Badass]]: In a way. The site has its flaws and redeeming qualities... but here, it's a literally-giant douche who only cares about hurting the stick figures in any way once provoked.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* MadLibsDialogue: UpToEleven, in that all of the words are blanks that get filled in: when [=YouTube=] threatens the stick figures, this is the site's other way of communicating -- using clips of various people saying specific words from their videos.

* GeniusLoci: A significant part of the fight is that the [=YouTube=] video player is both sentient and the videos' contents interact with the stick figures. It constantly uses that to its advantage, changing the video played to have objects attack the stick figures, such as hitting them with trains or slapping them aside with gestures from people on-screen.

!!Summary
While Second Coming and Green are watching a stick figure animation on Website/{{YouTube}}, SC accidentally angers [=YouTube=] itself by hitting the screen when the video keeps buffering. The fight against it is long and with many phases, such as it using videos to attack, using annotations as limbs, and the screen shuffler to mix things up. When Second Coming uses the full screen button to do actual damage, [=YouTube=] refreshes the page, but before it could use the full screen button, Green and it break the button in the struggle, enraging it further, and using both its like/dislike and the annotation hands to fight. Eventually, Green and SC defeat it by uploading a video of Green destroying [=YouTube=] and the entire page with it. After the battle, the other stick figures show up and refresh the page to watch a similar video. It ends with SC and Green fleeing as Red enrages [=YouTube=] yet again.

!!Tropes
* AdaptationalJerkass + [[AdaptationalBadass Badass]]: In a way. The site has its flaws and redeeming qualities... but here, it's a literally-giant douche who only cares about hurting the stick figures in any way once provoked.
* AnnoyingPopUpAd: The animations have to deal with a few ads that pop up while they are watching [=YouTube=]. Later when they are fighting the website itself, ads interrupt the fight, and both sides express their disdain before skipping the ad and resuming their fight.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption: The Second Coming hits one of [=YouTube=]'s hands while it's skipping videos, causing it to click on a video of a kid ''screaming''.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: The Second Coming uses the fullscreen button to enlarge himself, allowing him to severely damage the [=YouTube=] interface. Unfortunately for the stick figures, [=YouTube=] manages to refresh the page, returning the Second Coming back to his original size and undoing all the destruction.
* CallBack: One of the videos Website/YouTube plays happens to be the original ''Animator Vs Animation''.
* CarFu: [=YouTube=] uses videos of cars driving by to attack.
* ChekhovsGun: It was established back in ''4'' that [[spoiler:any damage done to a webpage or its contents can be undone by simply refreshing the page. This works both for and against the stick figures at various points.]]
* TheCameo: Various well known Website/YouTube videos make an appearance.
* ADayInTheLimelight: In contrast with ''vs. Minecraft'', which had all the stick figures sharing the stage, this short focuses on Green and The Second Coming, with the others not appearing until the very end.
* FloatingLimbs: The like and dislike buttons function as Website/YouTube's hands. Once they're destroyed, it resorts to creating makeshift hands out of annotation boxes.
* HereWeGoAgain: The animation ends with Red trying to punch a buffering video.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Youtube's main strategy in fighting the stick figures is to rapidly switch between videos. [[spoiler:During the climax, The Second Coming quickly switches to a video with a water hose to propel Green towards the Upload button.]]
* HopeSpot: The stick figures nearly win when the Second Coming enlarges himself and unleashes a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on [=YouTube=], but [=YouTube=] uses one of the remaining buttons left on its player to refresh the page, rejuvenating itself and leaving the still very battered stick figures at its mercy.
* ImOkay: When Blue, Red, and Yellow come in to see [[spoiler:Green and the Second Coming collapsed on the ground and the [=YouTube=] UI destroyed]], Blue nudges Green, who in turn raises one hand to indicate this.
* IShallTauntYou: When [=YouTube=] manages to refresh the page, thus undoing all the damage while leaving the stick figures exhausted, it gloats by playing various celebratory clips, including [[MemeticMutation Numa Numa]].
* KillItThroughItsStomach: [[spoiler:How the stick figures win in the end; Green uploads himself as a video, and then The Second Coming plays him in the playlist. Green shows up on the [=YouTube=] screen, and destroys him from the inside.]]
* MadLibsDialogue: When [=YouTube=] threatens the stick figures, this is the site's other way of communicating -- using clips of various people saying specific words from their videos.
* MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness: One of the videos in the playlist is the original Animator vs. Animation.
* NeverTrustATrailer: Or this case preview. The preview used the old Website/YouTube layout while the animation itself used the current layout. Justified because the layout was changed between the making of the preview and the animation proper, as Alan himself pointed out in his announcement video.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: The majority of the fight is this, with [=YouTube=] repeatedly smacking the stick figures around using its hands and video clips. The Second Coming briefly returns the favor when he enlarges himself... but then [=YouTube=] refreshes the page, undoing all the damage he'd dealt.
* NoJustNoReaction: Green's reaction the video that is played before the We-Suck Vacuums Ad. [[note]] In the preview, it's Markiplier's "Meow" while in the animation, it's [=MrWeebl's=] Badgers[[/note]]
* NoSell: [=YouTube=] is able to smack around the stick figures with its hands throughout the video, [[spoiler:but is completely unable to touch Green when he is uploaded inside of the [=YouTube=] screen.]]
* OurSloganIsTerrible:
** "Try [=WeSuck=] Vacuums, because we suck more than any of our competitors!"
** "Introducing Drag Vacs, "Because life is a drag."
* PercussiveMaintenance:
** When the video Green and the Second Coming settle on first has buffering issues, the Second Coming kicks it to get it to play again. Next time it stops, the Second Coming gets up and repeatedly punches it [[OhCrap until the buffering icon morphs into a clearly unamused face.
** At the end of the animation, Red is going to punch the buffering video before it cuts to the credits.
* PostVictoryCollapse: After Website/YouTube is defeated, Green and the Second Coming manage to high-five each other before collapsing completely, though their lack of a face makes it hard to tell if they actually fainted or not before the others enter and check on them.
* RunningGag: Vacuum cleaner advertisements.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Blue and Yellow sit down on the couch and Red starts scrolling through the video playlist, Green and the Second Coming immediately jump up and run away, to the bemusement of the others.
* ATruceWhileWeGawk: When an ad suddenly pops up while Website/YouTube is in the midst of walloping the stick figures using different video clips, all of the combatants react with exasperation instead of using it to their advantage.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: While the other stick figures show clear concern at seeing Green and The Second Coming lying exhausted on the ground, it's dispelled as soon as Green gives an ImOkay gesture, and beyond some brief surprise they don't give much thought to seeing the Youtube UI completely destroyed.
