| 4 | ''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYzEMRKqrh01-tauv7MYyVQ MSA previously My Story Animated]]'' is a Platform/YouTube channel that claims to animate real life stories sent to them by teenagers. However, it's widely suspected that many, if not most, of the stories are actually fictional, often due to the videos having extremely implausible or nonsensical things happen within them. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | The idea of the channel is to tell outlandish stories that occur to teenage characters. They involve school, family secrets, and other real world topics, however they usually have an unusual twist to them. |

| 113 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A936V7M1E28 "My Dad Follow Me Everywhere"]], the narrator's father acts way too overprotective towards her daugter and not letting her do anything. When he gives his blessing to date a boy she likes, and lets her live her life, it's revealed he hired that boy to date her and has been tracking her location for the past seven years. He even pulls a gun on her when she tried to escape, all so he can "protect" her. |
| 114 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Skyler from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQGsm3_sdn4 "my sister gave birth without telling anyone"]] is a {{delinquent|s}}, but he correctly points out that trying to get his baby with Cassie back would be unfair to his cousin who had made a deal with them to adopt the baby. |
| 115 | * JerkassToOne: An example comes from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlNtoP8812g "I Was Shocked When I Found Out Why My Teacher is after Me"]]. Ms. Smith is nice to most people, but a complete SadistTeacher to the narrator, Helen. This turns out to be [[FreudianExcuse because she gets picked on by her husband's mother, who is also named Helen]]. |
| 116 | * KarmicJackpot: Cathy from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNjp0q_wlK8 "I Found A Treasure In My Second Hand jacket"]] finds a valuable baseball card in the pocket of a secondhand jacket she bought. Since she's poor and really wants to go to college, she's tempted to sell the card and get enough money to go to a good university, but she decides to find its rightful owner and return it. When the rightful owner comes to claim it, she's impressed enough by Cathy's honesty that she offers to pay for her education, an offer Cathy happily accepts. |
| 117 | * TheKindnapper: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VboZg6a1XFo "They Appeared On My Door After Googling Myself"]], the main character's parents turn out to have kidnapped her from her biological mother. But it's revealed that they did it because they knew her mother tried to have her husband killed and were afraid to leave her with an attempted murderer, and they were also fulfilling a promise to her birth father to keep her safe. |
| 118 | * LaserGuidedKarma: After her blackmail scheme is exposed, Mrs. Hooper from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgOoUjeknEk "i started an illegal business at school. my teacher joined!"]] gets fired. Later on, she tries to attack Hayley out of revenge, but is caught in the act and arrested. |
| 119 | * LightningGlare: Tabitha and her daughter Lily from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnnPmiYxA_I "I Distracted Mom While Driving And The Worst Thing Happened"]] exchange a few of these during their disputes. |
| 120 | * LoopholeAbuse: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1FiEIG_yuA "I'm A Gold Digger, I Married A Tree For Its Money"]], Chichi's grandmother says she won't get any of her riches unless she gets married by the end of the week. But she never specified that her granddaughter's spouse had to be ''human'', so Chichi gets a legally valid marriage to a potted lemon tree, and she has to pay up. |
| 121 | * LovableAlphaBitch: Loren from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqDg3v2Wc9s "we hid in my crush closet when they entered"]] seems like your typical "mean girl cheerleader" at first, but turns out to have a very kind and caring side that she starts expressing more. |
| 122 | * MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: Chichi from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q490wmCPsw "I'm A Gold Digger, I Married A Tree For Its Money"]] arranges for her husband to get run over by a truck. Of course, since her husband's a potted tree, it's not as bad as it sounds. |
| 123 | * MamaBear: In "We Got Married But We Never Met", Mia goes considerable lengths to save her son after he gets kidnapped. |
| 124 | * {{Manchild}} Apple's boss in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhVxwbyoeNs "i stole my boss phone now i am his boss"]] turns out to be this in his private life. While being a fan of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' isn't necessarily a sign of immaturity, living with his mother and having to follow her rules definitely puts him in this territory. |
| 125 | * ManipulativeBastard: Marcus from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WL4sXKlE-s "I Became Rich From Being A Psychopath"]] has a natural talent for making people dance to his tune, and he becomes even better after reading some psychology. |
| 126 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdZpQQPxfRY "I am a bodybuilder and my boyfriend is a tiny little guy"]] is about a female bodybuilder named Jacquelyn dating an effeminate nerd named George. |
| 127 | * MaskOfSanity: James from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG0MOxI4mzc "Me or My Bf"]] was able to act normal enough to get a job as a safari guide, but he was actually dangerously obsessed enough to be sent to a mental hospital. |
| 128 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The narrator of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPRK8e030UU "I died for 10 Minutes You won't believe what I saw....."]] sees visions of her friend Chris while under anesthesia after a car accident. Later on, it's revealed that Chris was undergoing a kidney transplant at the same time. She believes she and Chris "met on the other side", but the fact that Chris doesn't remember seeing her and she was thinking of him just before the accident suggests that this may have just been her seeing things. |
| 129 | * MindScrew: In "i had no idea they could do that", just about everything presented is... ambiguous and inconsistent, to put it mildly. |
| 130 | * MissConception: Felicia from "I Got Preg-nant From Swimming with My Friends" is a sheltered girl with some prudish parents, and as such has only a vague idea of how babies are made. When she doesn't have her period after she makes out with Miles at a pool party, she thinks he got her pregnant... even though the most they did was French kiss. |
| 131 | * MistakenForDying: Sarah from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akGzR8VoEaQ "I Heard My Parents Saying I'm Not Going To Live Long"]] overhears her parents talking about being afraid of losing her one night. This, combined with the fact that she's been struggling with an illness for some time, causes her to think she's terminally ill. But the next morning, it turns out Sarah was adopted, and her parents were worried about her biological mother wanting her back. |
| 132 | * MistakenForGay: |
| 133 | ** Monica from "I found out why my mother keeps losing her underwear" assumes her friend John is gay. But it's later revealed that he just LikesOlderWomen. |
| 134 | ** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiJzPd5TupM I Was Jealous of the Perfect Girl, But Ended Up BFFs]], Lola thinks Paige is trying to ask her out when she approaches her and turns her down. Paige then corrects her and tells her she's not into girls either. |
| 135 | * MistakenForPregnant: In "I Got Preg-nant From Swimming with My Friends", Felicia thinks she got knocked up by Miles. But it turns out that her symptoms were actually caused by an ovarian cyst. |
| 136 | * MommasBoy: Apple's boss in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhVxwbyoeNs "i stole my boss phone now i am his boss"]] is shown to still live with his mother and follow her rules. |
| 137 | * MuggingTheMonster: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB11aMif2E8 "A Gold Digger became My Hero"]], a burglar breaks into Ava's house. When she wakes up, he discovers to his dismay that she's a skilled martial artist. |
| 138 | * {{Mukokuseki}}: One now-deleted video called "My biological parents traded me for two pigs" takes place in China and has an all-Chinese cast, but everyone is depicted in this style. |
| 139 | * MunchausenSyndrome: "Mom Made Me Have the worst diseases To Become Rich" is about an example of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. Laurie's mother deliberately causes her to have some very serious health problems for money and attention. |
| 140 | * MySecretPregnancy: |
| 141 | ** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKZjtGbARBg "my sister gave birth without telling anyone"]], Cassie manages to hide her pregnancy from her family until her sister Lola catches her giving birth in the bathroom. |
| 142 | ** The narrator of "I Stole A Lipstick, I Ended Up Being Pregnant!" manages to hide her pregnancy from her parents by doing charity work in a foreign country and giving her baby up for adoption after giving birth there. |
| 143 | * {{Narcissist}}: Helen's father in "I Work In Cleaning Bathrooms While My Dad Is A Millionaire" is diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder by a psychiatrist. Considering he kept his wife and daughter in poverty while not telling them he was a successful businessman for no reason other than wanting to indulge in his money fixation to the fullest, this is hardly surprising. |
| 144 | * NeverMyFault: Mrs. Hooper from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgOoUjeknEk "i started an illegal business at school. my teacher joined!"]] blamed Hayley for getting her fired... conveniently ignoring the fact that she wouldn't have been fired if she hadn't started a blackmail scheme to get extra money. |
| 145 | * NeverTrustATitle: |
| 146 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnnPmiYxA_I "I Distracted Mom While Driving And The Worst Thing Happened"]] is misleading in two ways. The first is that it's actually from the mother's perspective, not the daughter's. The second is that it implies her getting distracted while driving was a direct cause of something horrible, but the car crash wasn't caused by any error on her part, but by another driver running a red light. |
| 147 | ** The title of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-lDegynXZo "I Realised I Wasn’t Trans After Transitioning"]] is not accurate. Olive thought they were a trans girl as a child, transitioned, and then realized they were genderfluid instead. They're still considered trans, but not binary trans. |
| 148 | ** "I Am In Complex Relationship, We Are 4" may sound like it's a story about {{polyamory}}, when in fact, it's about both halves of a couple playing OperationJealousy with {{Invented Individual}}s. |
| 149 | ** Despite what the title says, Jarrod from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7QGXPCo_WA "I Am The Only Man In Town"]] isn't ''actually'' the only man in his town. He's just the first boy to be born in his village in twenty years. There are plenty of males who are older than him. |
| 150 | * NoEnding: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VXTW5RYOe0 "I Hid under A Billionaire Bed"]] ends on the words "I smiled" right when it seems like there's going to be more to the story. |
| 151 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Aria from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mmnktWN7IQ "A strange man claims he is my husband - He Knows Everything"]] tries to help comfort a young girl... and as a result ends up horrifically disfigured in a train accident (that's implied to also render her comatose for some time), mistaken for somebody else, has her face changed due to both of the above, and kept in a GildedCage by a man who thinks she's his bitchy adulterous wife. |
| 152 | * NonIdleRich: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1FiEIG_yuA "I'm A Gold Digger,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q490wmCPsw I Married A Tree For Its Money"]], Chichi wants to open a bakery after she gets millions from her grandma. |
| 153 | * ObfuscatingDisability: The narrator of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_0UbLa_78A "I know everyone's dirty secrets by pretending I'm blind!"]] pretends to be blind so people won't know she's the girl whose father was the subject of a viral video about him having an affair with his then-boss's wife. |
| 154 | * ObfuscatingInsanity: Chichi from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1FiEIG_yuA "I'm A Gold Digger,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q490wmCPsw I Married A Tree For Its Money"]] pretends to have genuinely fallen in love with a potted lemon tree. In reality, she only married it [[ItMakesSenseInContext so her grandmother would give her a large sum of money]]. |
| 155 | * OldManMarryingAChild: Subverted in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK5tSjyhXPk "I Was Stuck In An Elevator for 7 days"]]. The teenage protagonist ends up trapped in an elevator with an old man who tries to force her to marry him through {{blackmail}}... but he turns out to have been recruited by her parents as part of an elaborate scheme to "teach her a lesson". |
| 156 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Selina from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm6COt3Ce34 "a single word changed my life forever"]] is in her twenties, but can pass for a high school student. |
| 157 | * TheOneGuy: Too [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] for its own good. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7QGXPCo_WA "I Am The Only Man In Town"]], Jarrod is, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the only man in town]]. The channel was too focused on making a crazy story they forgot to make it make sense. If there have only been girls born for 20 years, how would the town reproduce? Not to mention it's misleading, because the mayor is a boy, and Jarrod has a dad. |
| 158 | * OneOfTheKids: Amara from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGcW7r8ae_s "After 30 Years I Am Still 16"]] is in her mid-40s, but still has the mentality of a teenager due to spending decades in a coma. After some initial adjustment to the changes she missed, she finds that she generally gets along better with teenagers than people of her biological age bracket. |
| 159 | * OnlyFriend: Sue from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_qa7yPvrX0 "I became The school Joke, i had to revenge"]] considers Trish her sole friend. |
| 160 | * OnlySixFaces: There are some videos where character design is... rather limited. It becomes a problem in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mmnktWN7IQ "A strange man claims he is my husband - He Knows Everything"]] -- Aria claims the reconstructive surgery she got after being disfigured in a train accident made her look nothing like herself (which, as it turns out, is due to being mistaken for somebody else)... but the animation makes her look hardly any different. |
| 161 | * OperationJealousy: Jerry from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlyX5qj4oY0 "He Regrets cheating on me"]] is afraid his fiancee/wife Cassie is only marrying him out of obligation and flirts with other women to make her jealous. Little does he know that she really does love him, and his flirting makes her really upset. |
| 162 | * OppositesAttract: Leanne from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJdpn2BVnOg "I loved my BF until I met his sister"]] is an exuberant, spontaneous girl who falls in love with an introverted guy named Robby. |
| 163 | * OrganTheft: Subverted in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXeNWztGsAo "My Kidnappers Refused To Reveal What They Did To My Body"]]. The narrator initially fears she might've been victimized by an organ-trafficking ring, but it turns out she'd just been taken to a hospital after suffering a burst appendix. |
| 164 | * OrificeInvasion: The narrator of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ySwVhmwrJs "A Spider Has Been Living In My Ear For Years"]] comes to the conclusion that the spider found in her ear must have entered it while she was on a camping trip. |
| 165 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: Mr. Davis from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqDg3v2Wc9s "we hid in my crush closet when they entered"]] lost his son in a car accident and is terrified of losing his daughter to cancer. |
| 166 | * PirateEpisode: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh5dcr7GMZc I Spend 20 Hours In The Water Everyday For This Secret Reason]] stars Astrid, a pirate who gets stranded in a town and eventually saves that town from a flood. |
| 167 | * ProducePelting: [[AlphaBitch Jenny]], from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2hBcS6vVZ8 "I Was Born In The Forest, I've Never Seen People Before"]], starts throwing eggs and tomatoes at protesters, although we only see the eggs. |
| 168 | * RagsToRiches: Deconstructed in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aGuU3onLcQ "I Wish I Never Won 200 million dollars in the lottery"]]. When Ava wins the jackpot in the lottery, it brings out some pretty bad qualities in her relatives and causes her family to drift apart. |
| 169 | * RaisedAsTheOppositeGender: Jarrod from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7QGXPCo_WA "I Am The Only Man In Town"]] spends the first few years of his life being raised as a girl, due to his parents not wanting attention from having produced their town's only male child in twenty years. |
| 170 | * RealAfterAll: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlyX5qj4oY0 "He Regrets cheating on me"]], Cassie decides to teach her new husband Jerry a lesson about hitting on other women. So she hires some actors to set up a "haunted house" scenario on their honeymoon to scare him straight. When the newlyweds go back to the airport, Cassie calls their leader, a woman named Samantha, to congratulate them on the excellent job they did... only to discover that Samantha and her team couldn't get to their destination, and so couldn't do what they were hired to do. |
| 171 | * ReallyGetsAround: Belle from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wj0aRs7F-w "my sister is dating the entire town"]] is... not particularly restrained in her dating life. At one point, she starts talking on her phone to plan a date while currently out at the movies with somebody else, and it's later revealed that she slept with Kenneth ''very'' soon after meeting him in a park despite barely talking to him and deciding he wasn't her type. |
| 172 | * RedHerring: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE91UlK9V1Y "The police found something worth millions in my bag, OMG!"]] initially makes it seem like some French tourists were the ones who stole an expensive vase from a museum. But it turns out the real culprit was a crooked security guard named Gary. |
| 173 | * RichBoredom: Kelsie from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlhlLtEIkKQ "i found my friend things in my dad's car, whaaaattt?"]] is a girl from a very well-off family who takes a summer job at a café simply because she wants something to occupy her time. |
| 174 | * TheRunaway: Cheryl in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTo-9nu0GVo "I Had To Stop The Kardashians From Destroying My Family"]] eventually gets so upset at having to deal with her Kardashian-obsessed mother and sisters that she ends up running away from home after they get into a huge fight over her refusal to be a Kylie Jenner impersonator. |
| 175 | * RunForTheBorder: The now-deleted video "I Woke Up In A Moving Van Heading To Mexico" is about a girl whose father tries to flee to Mexico with her and her sister. |
| 176 | * SadistTeacher: Played with in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlNtoP8812g "I Was Shocked When I Found Out Why My Teacher is after Me"]]. While Helen's teacher Ms. Smith is nice to most people, [[JerkassToOne she's a complete bully to her]]. |
| 177 | * SadisticChoice: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmrPmDuB1N8 "The Doctors Forced Me To Save Only One Of My Twin Sisters"]] is about a girl named Amelia whose younger twin sisters both get very sick due to a congenital liver defect they share. Amelia's a match, so she can be a donor... but since she can only donate a small part of her liver, she has to choose which twin she wants to give it to. Thankfully, her father turned out to have an illegitimate daughter with his high school sweetheart, who was also a match and agreed to donate part of her liver as well, so both twins were saved. |
| 178 | * SameSexTriplets: Tracy from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWQnun4HR14 "My 3 Brothers Believe I’m Their Mother"]] has three triplet younger brothers: Caleb, Christopher and Conrad. |
| 179 | * ScaryScorpions: Double subverted in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tnox9auQ8SM "I Eat Scorpions For Breakfast To Become Poisonous"]]. The narrator obtains some potentially dangerous Arizona bark scorpions, and while she's afraid of them at first, she gets used to eating them. But then she and her brother get stung... |
| 180 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aGuU3onLcQ "I Wish I Never Won 200 million dollars in the lottery"]], Ava gets a lottery ticket from an elderly woman, and promises her that she'll tell her if her ticket wins. When she wins the jackpot, she decides to keep the money herself since her family was in dire straits at the time and eventually forgets who really won. When she remembers, she tells her... only to realize she doesn't remember the encounter. Turns out, the old woman had Alzheimer's. |
| 181 | * ScreamingAtSquick: One nurse lets out a bloodcurdling scream when she sees a picture of a spider in the narrator's ear in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ySwVhmwrJs "A Spider Has Been Living In My Ear For Years"]]. |
| 182 | * ScreamingBirth: Happens to Cassie, the narrator's sister in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKZjtGbARBg "my sister gave birth without telling anyone"]]. |
| 183 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: The narrator's birth mother in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VboZg6a1XFo "They Appeared On My Door After Googling Myself"]] has a lot of connections with law enforcement due to many members of her family being cops, and so she was perceived as untouchable by the law...

| 191 | * SelfDeprecation: Merde from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvgq7dYA42k "My Name Is A Swear Word! I don't like My Life"]] tries to come to terms with the fact that her name is [[UnfortunateNames a very rude French term for excrement]] by doing this, up to and including dressing up as a literal piece of crap for Halloween. |
| 192 | * SelfFulfillingProphecy: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMOMRwUIoPQ "All girls in my Family Died at 18"]], the narrator becomes so paranoid about an alleged family {{curse}} where female members of her family (on both sides, no less) die at age 18 that she refuses to leave her room and stops eating properly. Naturally, this eventually results in her being hospitalized. |
| 193 | * SelfMadeMan: Hunter from "i found her after 20 years" manages to get rich by founding his own company. |
| 194 | * SextraCredit: This is implied to be at least part of why Rosie from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlhlLtEIkKQ "i found my friend things in my dad's car, whaaaattt?"]] turns out to have been having an affair with her English Literature professor. |
| 195 | * ShamefulSourceOfKnowledge: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_0UbLa_78A "I know everyone's dirty secrets by pretending I'm blind!"]], the protagonist sees her friend Elsie's boyfriend kissing another girl... but telling her would mean admitting she could see. She manages to get around this by sending Elsie a picture via Instagram (since her Instagram account doesn't use her real name and her profile pic is outdated) |
| 196 | * SheepInSheepsClothing: Sophie from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDofa3Uny5k "My Son Is Being Controlled By A Gold Digger"]] thinks her son Noah's girlfriend Lilly is a GoldDigger only pretending to love him and just acting nice to her and her husband to keep her gravy train rolling… but it turns out she loves Noah for who she is, not his money. |
