YouTube Poop News was an internet quasi news program hosted by Louisiana resident and now-retired pooper Stuart K Reilly. Primarily focusing on the current goings on in the world of YouTube Poops, Stu also talked about whatever else he wanted to talk about. It included plenty of Take Thats at bad/overrated poopers, at Stuart himself, people who hate YouTube Poops, and Top 10 Lists reflecting on YouTube Poop topics. The show ended in June of 2018, at which point Stu announced he was retiring and creating a new show called Workin' Man Games. In case you don't know a YTP also known as a YouTube Poop is a type of video/mashup or edit created by remixing/editing pre-existing media sources often carrying subcultural significance into a new video for humorous, satirical, obscene, absurd, and profane—as well as annoying, confusing, or dramatic purposes. It launched a second channel that only aired infomercials in 2011 to compete with Billy Mays Channel. Often these edited from a large array of video clips in order to confuse, stun or entertain the viewer. The source material can be mashed all together into a nonsensical Crossover story, or just repeat footage of the characters gesticulating oddly or apparently saying something dirty over and over and over again. There are also well-known phrases used such as "PINGAS" or "Do a Barrel Roll!".
This series contains examples of:
- Flat "What": His reaction to an "official" YouTube Poop Movie in "Youtube Poop News The Movie Strikes Back To the FurTure" (sic).
- Right for the Wrong Reasons: In "This is a Demonstration of Wirecast", Stuart realizes Ricesnot must be a pooper from the old days because he had a saved copy of "Lemon Party" (NOT that one) and realizes what you get when you anagram his name...Hoscins, and proceeds to go on a tangent about an obscure pooper (and a friend of his) known as HoZKiNZ. (You were supposed to think he was going to say he was Insector)
- Sensory Abuse: "#4, let's talk about...EAR RAPE!!!!!"
- Suddenly Shouting: "This video can only be seen in its full effect IF YOU CUT THAT DAMN TAB OFF AND ACTUALLY WATCH THE VIDEO! YOU CAN LOOK AT PORN LATER!"
- Take That!: A longtime standard.
- "YouTube Poop News is NOT brought to you by KroboProductions."
- One episode's Cold Opening is one to True Capitalist.
- You Didn't See That: "This is a Demonstration of Wirecast" opens with about a minute of Stuart playing the electric guitar. He proceeds to call the performance "the sloppiest shit you've ever heard in your life" and tells the viewer to forget it happened, as it didn't even have anything to do with YTP.
- "The Top Ten Most Useless Crap In Youtube Poop" has another example:
"#4, and this is just disgusting: having an unhealthy obsession with one certain source because you're secretly in love with... oh, I better skip that one. Never mind, forget I said anything!"
