The first video of Danny surfaced in December 2000, when a 25 minute videotape was given to a small number of people in the Columbus, Ohio area (where the series is based). The series then made the jump to the internet in 2002 on the website Elbow World, run by the series' creator and camera operator Jared Six. These videos came under the title “Tony the Tiger With Tourette’s Syndrome” and fictitiously described Danny (at the time unnamed) as "the guy that used to do the voice" of the eponymous Frosted Flakes mascot before retiring to live off residuals. For years the videos circulated amongst a dedicated fanbase until September 2004, when the fan site [=TourettesGuy=].com was formed and eventually became the main source for Tourette's Guy episodes. From November 2004 to October 2006, episodes with new content were added every few months. After a brief hiatus, three new episodes were added between January and May 2007. Throughout those years, fans began uploading the episodes on the then-fledging [=YouTube=] website, causing the popularity of the series to explode to new heights and becoming one of the site's first videos that went viral.
