** WebVideo/{{Saltydkdan}} tries to be as ethical as he can about [[MoralDilemma the trolley problem]], but here "[=SaucyDiggityDan=]" actively attempts to kill as many people as possible (barring the possibility they benefit him), specifically invoking [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Anakin's choice about killing younglings]], arranging two trains to kill all five cops and the original cop so as to avoid laceration from them, panicking when he accidentally kills a cent instead of a person and specifically viewing his furry friend as Gerber to get more prompting to kill him. His violence is stopped when he tries to run over 72 people instead of a glass of O.J, stopping the train.

[[https://www.youtube.com/user/DaThings1/ DaThings]] is a YoutubePoop series by Creator/EllieSpectacular, originally made popular by music video poops ([[ItMakesSenseInContext the literal music videos]], not [=YTPMVs=]). Other media has since been added to the mix, from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and movies to infomercials and instructional videos. The videos are usually (but not always) clean, in stark contrast to poops from other creators such as Creator/{{cs188}} or Creator/{{Deepercutt}}.

--->'''Maria''': I want to be ''stoned'', I want to ''trip'' BALLS, I want to be HIGH, I want to browse [[Website/{{Reddit}} /r/trees]]... (''Caption: That's enough stoner jokes.'')
** [[WesternAnimation/PostmanPat Postman Tap]], instead of a kindly, helpful man beloved by his neighbours, is a sociopathic compulsive thief and general asshole given to [[ClusterFBomb verbally abusing]] members of the public, with an inflated sense of self-importance and a deadly vendetta against his neighbour Alf Thompson. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And a dedicated furry]].

--> '''"That's equivalent to going to the NFL, the NBA, the NFLBA."'''

* FollowTheBouncingBall: Used during the intro of Postman Tap 2: Double Tap. The bouncing ball used was a recreation of the Creator/CBeebies "Get Set Go" watermark.

-->''P.S. I'm going to say "Hm." again, but in a higher pitch.''

** ''Postmap Tap[[superscript:3]]: Tapped Out'' has Jess deliver a 17-line speech bubble including a spoiler, an apology for the spoiler, a question as to why Tap is asking a cat anything, and a not-so-subtle request to support transformative work creators on Patreon, all of which is onscreen for about a second.
* FullyAutomaticClipShow: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDuQ781XJ_4 StaCup]]'s post-credits scene is a sequence of every time Emily said a number in the source video. [[OverlyLongGag This sequence lasts nearly four minutes and is longer than the main part of the video]].

** "The Sharkshank Redaction" starts off as Youtube Poop about sharks, but halfway through, Rog takes over [=DaThings=] (as he says in the video), and the rest of the video is about Rog.

** [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] by Chef Chef (the “tongue chef”), who wins Cutchen by being the only contestant to cook something edible (biscuits). His powers of [[VisibleInvisibility partial invisibility]] didn’t hurt either.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: ''Postmap Tap[[superscript:3]]: Tapped Out'' has Pat [[ComedicSociopathy murdering Alf Thompson in cold blood]] by upsetting Alf's ladder while the latter is fixing up brickwork on the gables of his house.
--> '''Tap''': Sorry, Alf~! There's nothing for it~!

--> '''Valjean''': We were starving!
--> '''Javert''': You'll starve again! [[LeetLingo LOL]]!
--> '''Valjean''': [[SarcasmMode LOL]].
** Emphasized in the Reanimated version, where Javert [=LOLs=] directly into Valjean's face while pointing at him mockingly and wearing a hot dog hat.
* NothingIsFunnier: TheStinger of ''Sonic Sesame'' is a nearly twenty-second shot of the human ''Series/SesameStreet'' characters [[BreakingTheFourthWall giving the viewer]] a [[DeathGlare silent look of disapproval]]. Nothing in the video explains this scene, nor is it followed by a {{punchline}}: the humor comes from the missing context behind this scene.

--->'''Obama''': It's not a plan to create jobs, it is not a plan to reduce the deficit, it is not a plan to build the deficit, it is not a plan to create jaj, it is not a plan to defecate, it is not a plan to sit, it is not a planet, it is not a plant, it is not a plan, it is not a plalp...

-->'''Emily''': I want you to memorize this...
* {{Portmanteau}}: A frequent style of joke, showing up after the component words have been said separately. ''Wow! I'm Hungry!'' has quite a few, including 'thiquid' (thick + liquid), 'caplicator' (cap + applicator), and 'beereal' (beer + cereal).

** "The Price Is Rice" has a running gag of Nicole freezing and saying "no" over and over again. [[spoiler: Nicole being frozen is RunningGagged in "The Price Is Rice CLASSIC"]]

--> '''Creator/StanLee''' - ''Said nothing to validate the ding-dongs behind this show.''

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Ellie has an archive channel where she reuploads videos she deleted from her main channel for one reason or another; These can cross into OldShame territory as Ellie herself feels she's improved significantly at making youtube poops over time.

** [[WesternAnimation/PostmanPat Postman Tap]], instead of a kindly, helpful man beloved by his neighbours, is a sociopathic compulsive thief and [[BlackComedyRape serial rapist]] given to [[ClusterFBomb verbally abusing]] members of the public, with an inflated sense of self-importance and a deadly vendetta against his neighbour Alf Thompson.
