History WebVideo / Gunslingerpro2009

* AmbiguouslyEvil: [[spoiler: It's unclear if The Player is simply a confused teenager who doesn't understand the scope of the Mercs' intelligence or is deliberately and sadistically tormenting them. Although the Player's hostile reaction to the Heavy trying to socialize and compliment the player in "garry's mod ultimate sled tutorial" implies the latter might be likely]].

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: The price for disobeying gunslingerpro's wishes. The sniper has his head ripped off and attached to a book, with the rest of his body being mangled into a sentry that's used to kill other people (or shoot at their corpses), while the spy is mangled into a bizarre zombie-watermelon thing that can barely crawl on the ground.]]

** [[spoiler: It's also a deconstruction of SurrealHumor [=TF2=] videos, particularly the gags involving messing with the models by bending them into funny shapes or combining them with other objects by showing how horrifying and painful that would be to a living creature.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: For the crime of trying to run away and interrupting one video, the Spy is turned into a horrific shambling monster and locked in a cage. This happens later to the Heavy as well, who simply compliments the player, but is killed for revealing his sentience.]]
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: The ragdolls are faced with it by The Player, who can easily kill and disfigure them all on a whim if they don't cooperate. [[spoiler: The Soldier, Spy, and Heavy meet this fate.]]

** [[spoiler: Is The Player doing this to be deliberately sadistic, or do they simply not understand what's going on?]]
** [[spoiler: Also: Why have the characters in the game developed sentience?]]
* EnfanteTerrible: [[spoiler: It's unlikely that The Player of the videos is older than their teens, considering the audience of this game and the general [[StylisticSuck quality of the videos]].]]

* ObliviouslyEvil: [[spoiler: An interpretation of The Player is that they're a confused teenager who doesn't understand why the game is acting up in this fashion and they aren't aware that the mercs have sentience and can feel the pain of their bizarre mutilations.]]

* {{Sadist}}: [[spoiler: If The Player understands the intelligence of the mercs, they are this, as they enjoy horribly mutilating characters, whether it be for disobeying their command or simply to create mediocre videos.]]
* ShoutOut:

** "engineer land" is a reference to a [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/six-flags-commercial-parodies Six Flags commercial]] that became a source of parodies on [=YouTube=], popular during the late 2000's.
* TheSociopath: [[spoiler: Possibly. The Player lacks any concern for these clearly sentient video game characters, deliberately tormenting them and forcing them to murder each other. However, he might also not realize or understand their sentience.]]

* SurrealHumor: Invoked, at least from The Player, in the ''Garry's Mod'' videos they produce, which are derivative of videos produced by someone like WebAnimation/RubberFruit. [[spoiler: You won't find them funny after you figure out what's behind them, though.]]
* TheUnSmile: The Heavy in "garry's mod ultimate sled tutorial" can be smiling in a freeze-frame, but he doesn't look happy at all. [[spoiler: Considering he's being forced to do this and has his neck snapped for the crime of revealing his sentience by complimenting the The Player, it's understandable.]]
* WhamShot:

* VillainProtagonist: If it's not clear by now, The Player isn't who they seem like. [[spoiler: They have been tormenting sentient video game characters in ''Garry's Mod'', forcing them to adhere to their whims of video creation, and horrifically torturing and mutilating those that go against them, or just to make videos. It's not clear at this moment if this is deliberate or if they're simply unaware of what's happening.]]
* YouWillBeSpared: [[spoiler: Since the Engineer appears to be The Player's favorite class and represents them, he's fortunate enough to be spared from most of the torment the other ragdolls face.]]

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwtX41HYIPNlOOLj1oKIBww/videos gunslingerpro2009]] is a ''VideoGame/GarrysMod''-themed psychological horror {{Machinima}} series, taking place in the late 2000's and early 2010's. The videos on their surface appear to be little more than the typical videos one might expect to be produced by a ''Garry's Mod'' channel, such as short SurrealHumor ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' videos and tutorials, but it quickly becomes clear that something much more horrific is happening.

See also {{WebVideo/BadwaterVideos2009}}, a separate series with a similar premise.

* DaylightHorror: The majority of the videos are set in broad daylight and they're no less scary for it.

** Of the typical Garry's Mod horror series, and Video Game-based horror stories in general. [[spoiler:While the game and its characters are demonstrated to have intelligence, they don't have any ill intent or intend to really frighten anyone, while the protagonist has much more power then them and is forcing them - whether this is intentional or not is still unclear - to adhere to their whims. It is essentially a complete reversal of most creepypastas or the aforementioned Video Game-based horror. The fictional videogame characters with sentience are the victims, while the players are the god-like horrifying entities that force terrifying fates unto them.]]

* StylisticSuck: The videos on the channel are modelled after Garry's Mod videos from 2008-2012, and therefore have the hallmarks of Windows Movie Maker editing, use of stock music, and low resolution videos with bizarre videos or tutorials.

* AuthorAvatar: [[spoiler:Gunslingerpro seems to personify themselves as the engineer, though it's implied that the engineer is also sentient like the rest and may not be happy with this arrangement.]]
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: [[spoiler: Gunslingerpro is possibly a case of this, at least from the perspective of the Mercs. Horribly mutilating and slaughtering sentient beings seems horrible, but if the person doing so believes that they're simply characters in a video game acting up, they wouldn't see it as nearly as horrific.]]

** It's clear that The Player is modelling their content after videos made around the same time period by other Garry's mod youtubers/animators.

** In the same vein, their "sniper is sentry" video is also based on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbpJ_MdlzGQ another old GMOD video]], although it's a bigger departure as it takes place in a different location and that the Sniper in the original video was definitely not as mangled as the one in Gunslingerpro's video. [[spoiler:[[ForWantOfANail And the fact that the Spy is nowhere to be found.]]]]

* WhamShot: In "spy is sandvich", [[spoiler:the Spy appears in front of the Heavy, moving much more realistically, and starts to pound the screen, seeming to be trying to escape something, only to be captured by his attacker, The Player.]]
