AKA Cult Toons; YouTube Poop before it was popular.

People all over the world have interests in making videos called "YouTube Poop". Typically, they involve mashing up a whole bunch of stuff together, but on occasion, they actually have an attempted story.

The former is excessively demonstrated in Cartoon Network UK's series "AKA Cult Toons", which revolves around episodes of classic cartoons mashed with other clips from stuff. There was also interviews and other stuff in the show as well. Stuff!

Overused memes used here:

- A character says "You can say that again": the previous line would often be repeated
- freezing the footage, usually after a line such as "Hold everything!" or "Stop!"
- overdubbing voices, PARTICULARLY replacing lines with the Godzilla theme
- repeating a line or sound effect and adding drum beats and record scratches over it, turning it into a brief hip-hop song
- suddenly cutting to a clip of a martial arts film if a character got angry
- Film clips, from Bruce Lee to even blaxploitation

From the description I posted, you might think the show is great and totally "cult", but they did it ALL WRONG. Here's an episode to prove it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F-laiQ8LWs

Oh geez, what a mess. By the end of this I was hoping for some spadinner shtick.

While it's pretty torturous, I don't think it really works an annotation source, it's just too fragmented and pointless.

Actually, I kinda found that amusing, though another one was nothing but bleeps over most of the dialogue, that one was awful.


Regardless, this seems too clunky to annotate, what with it being crappy Hanna Barbera cartoons with random footage mixed in.
