Line #15 Creator/WillMcDaniel


1	Will [=McDaniel=] is an internet creator. His channel originally started in 2008, though at the time he would only upload once every year or two until 2014, when he started to produce far more content, mostly being comedic sketches. He eventually found a niche for himself making videos involving bizarre monsters, practical effects, and not-insignificant amounts of BodyHorror, generally [[HorrorComedy walking the line]] between SurrealHorror and SurrealHumor.

3	He also makes tutorial videos showing people how to make the sorts of practical effects he uses in his more recent videos.

7	!!Will [=McDaniel's=] works often include:
8
9	* AnimalisticAbomination: The "bird" from ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwrftJ4b544 Don't Feed Them]]'' is vaguely bird-like, but seems to hover without moving its wings, teleport, and live inside of a birdhouse that is much too small for it. The birdhouse is also fleshy on the inside [[spoiler: and any damage done to it [[{{Synchronization}} will affect the bird]]]].
10	* BabiesEverAfter: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trnnQD3xtK8 The Burrow]] ends with [[spoiler:Will falling in love with the creature from the titular burrow, and telling their child how they met.]]
11	* BaitAndSwitch: One of the ingredients used in [[https://youtu.be/JyBnvL2mH2Y?t=158 How to Cook Christmas Dinner for an Alien]] is a potato....with a breather hole.
12	* BloodyHorror: A lot of his monsters look very meaty, but the workers at the Dubious Meat Industry in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIqdwGYmTgU The Interview]] fit this trope best.
13	* BodyHorror: He's a big fan of this one too. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l16UhGnK7Fk Top 5 Weird Alien Diseases]] is a pretty good example of it.
14	* BotanicalAbomination: [[https://youtu.be/2-5FbNQysMM?si=oRBRh1m1DqF26ihx The Plant Pal]].
15	* CreepyGood: While many of his videos have strange creatures with plenty of BodyHorror or NauseaFuel elements, they aren't always malevolent. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5vM7hP7c94 My Sleep Paralysis Demon and Me]] has Will making friends with his SleepParalysisDemon, for example.
16	* EldritchAbomination: Too many to count, but some include [[https://youtu.be/REGLCGvF73M?si=RG3PEkts49r5ZV93&t=155 the Lord of Stock Exchange]], the [[https://youtu.be/WM2KjHxYRXU?si=Yi36fXCnAAxnFNWx Break-up]] & [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8Qj6Kezmg0 Lock-down]] Buddies, [[https://youtu.be/kK9414qzVTo?si=dUg-57N121uTAZxr Ian Octagon]], and [[https://youtu.be/VgOuUV6Ref8?si=iA44JBpA5VfuLhGF Mr. Spatula Lipstick Face]] look like nothing found naturally on Earth.
17	* FunWithSubtitles: Many of his more recent videos have some amusing commentary, jokes, or {{UnsoundEffect}}s in the subtitles.
18	* LethalChef: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkpStMrZ_uQ How to Bake a Cake for a Racist]] is an {{Invoked}} example of this trope. Since the cake is supposed to be going to a racist, Will instructs the viewer to toss in laxative, gravel, broken glass, [[TakeThat and a page from The Daily Mail]].
19	* MysteryMeat: Anything sold by the aptly-named "Dubious Meat Company."
20	--> '''Mr. Crutch''': Hello and welcome to the Dubious Meat Company, where our meat is always... something.
21	* RattlingOffLegal: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs_hu_ets5g Customer Service]] has an employee for the Dubious Meat Company quickly give a legal disclaimer when asked about their company's "Chicky Lumps."
22	--> '''Mr Crutch''': The Dubious Meat Company in no ways guarantees the quality, quantity, or [[MysteryMeat species]] of the meat that we produce and sell. Any illnesses or injuries arising from the consumption of a Dubious Meat Company product are inconclusive and can never be proven in a court of law. Any likeness to a religious figure or your family members are purely coincidental and no parts of deities or loved ones are contained within this product.
23	* RepulsiveRingmaster: The Ringmaster of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAf_Fr1wTxE Space Circus]] is a very sinister one. While we don't see much of him, he's implied to have made his attractions by pulling people into the strange hole in his chest and somehow twisting them into something else.
24	* {{Santabomination}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDDCQdpT1C0 The Christmas Grotto]] has a bizzare... ''thing'' that looks like it's made of raw meat pose as Santa to lure Will inside a dirty-looking trailer. [[spoiler: It turns out to be the lure for some kind of subterranean creature that swallows up the trailer with Will inside]].
25	* SurrealHorror: Very few of his more recent sketches make any sense at all, and they pretty much all have at least some BodyHorror.
26	* SurrealHumor: While many of his videos have a lot of rather gross or creepy things, almost all of them lean more towards the comedic end.
27	* TakeThat: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkpStMrZ_uQ How to Bake a Cake for a Racist]] includes ones to politician Nigel Farage, ''Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist'', and [[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers The Daily Mail]].
28	* WeirdWorldWeirdFood: Will seems to be fond of this one, having so far made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqRdorCGrGQ&t=320s Trying Candy from Other Dimensions]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyBnvL2mH2Y&t=334s How to Cook Christmas Dinner for an Alien]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju2i95UUT1E Trying Alien Fruit]]. Pretty much all of them have very strange preparation methods or BodyHorror effects on the human who eats them.
