Let me know how you guys like this new video concept, and I may release episode two in over a year.

@PieFrolic this video should be called “Frying Stew.”

Kind of of topic to the video, but my favorite trendy YTP you made was; Mr. Krab’s Unquenchable Bloodlust. Cinematic masterpiece made from several episodes of SpongeBob, and media sources to create a masterful horror story. 👌

I honestly feel bad for you, EmpLemon. Having no respect, just because you uploading YTPs for fun, and other reasons.

The video editing was very layered, like a moving art piece. Anymore colors or layers and I'd think I was watching a L.H.O.H.Q video, and that's not a bad thing! Because of the topic of YTP and the chaos of it's community and audience- even just your own story, it's a great compliment. I always liked your videos, because even if there isn't a joke, the visuals are still both fitting and an example of modern counter-culture media, not to mention informative- I'm no normie, but I pursue my interests to the point of shutting everything out (autism spectrum), one of those interests being YTPs, I used to make them until I decided to work on art instead, because of the respect I have for you, I almost tried again multiple times.

bro is just a video, i mean i thing you are just over reacting on what the others have to say about you, you do you and just live your live as u please let the other say the f they want, if you get influenced by other then you are in the "spiral" tbh just do the f u feel like doing and dont listen to other ppl

we don't deserve a youtuber as deditated as the Lemon Emperor.

I became a fan at 2016, because the downward spiral. it was nice to see someone not caring what people saying. in fact I was sick of the collective groups, and their hold of what is and is not. everyone was about what is right and what is not right is the sickness. does not mean I don't think there is no right or wrongs as a Christian. I think the collective are evil at times because they way more controlling then what they say about Christians. they hate without meaning or giving good reason a lot of time. a thing bugged me most is when people say o me god or god damned it in anger or as a bad word, I would hear it at least 8-9 times a day from everyone I watched. I never hear those words from you, out of everyone your the better man. your one of those people that gives me a reason to stay on you tube. because I am done with the hate of god on you tube. have fun with lemons.

its why the ytp community is fallen apart is because Stuart k Riley would bully and harass artists like even the guy Waxinator after he got picked on by Riley everyone would they would bully him by people he didn't really know, and just like Mr Enter, he would even harass the 3 people who worked on the episode of a modern sponge bob , plus enter literally got heat from that because it was the autism card to bully him and his later content is more like watching the equivalent to Alex Jones luddite bs.

Hey Emp,

I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now. I’ve really grown a lot of respect for you and your content. I would always tune into watching your hour long videos. (I watch to the very last minute) I really like your content and I want you to keep going with your videos.

Forever part of the downward spiral

Hey, emp. I get how you feel.

I fucked up a while ago, and I too came down a long downward spiral. This video kinda gave me new light on how I would or should feel about this.

"I'm off on a new adventure now" really stuck with me, because I honestly feel the same. I'm just continuing on my own little adventure, doing what I did back then.

Thanks. Thanks for making this video. Thanks for giving me new light. It means a lot.

I saw you years ago as a kid and to this day still love you emperor, there's no-one else I'd be on a downward spiral with than you

It was really nice to see this introspective journey. I’ve been watching since unincredibles, so this was interesting to watch.

Glad you still kicking around. Been watching ytp's for 10 years and you I think 8... I dont remember thb XD<br> nice sponsorship btw!!

Hey Emp, loved this video and I'd like another "Frying Comments".

P.S: What's your thoughts on the teaser for Pixar's new film "Onward"?

Rock on Emperorlemon! You've come a long way. Every video of yours always gets my attention. Hope your personal life hasn't been on a downward spiral.  By the sound of it you'll be graduating by the end of the year. Congratulations!

I love that you make the ads entertaining lol

I remember watching you a long time ago when ytp was the only thing i used youtube for. Back then i watched ytps nearly everyday yet knew next to nothing about the drama, either cause my brain never made the connections between hate and good fun or pure ignorance. I came to your channel and cartoonlovers channel for 1 thing. I went to Cs188s channel and Goops and Awful Fafals, and Mobro studios and thatguypoops and god i could list them out for days for 1 thing. And way back in the day i went to Waxonator's channel and Marck3611s channel for 1 thing. I went there for a laugh. I dont give a fuck if the world thinks your as evil as satan, you made me laugh so you cant be that bad. I went to ytp to escape the insanity of real life. And i gotta say, you made my tastes improve, i used to think rage comics were funny somewhere between 2013 and 2015. It was because of you i branched out to other types of youtubers. Before your 100k sub vid, i never watched any other youtubers outside the occasional lets player or reaction youtuber. But because you included a filthy frank segment, i was able to branch out and watch other types of content. And by 2016, i had unsubbed to almost all the ytp accounts i followed and just moved onto filthy frank and, as much as i hate to admit it, leafy. I had watched your vids up until the ascended series and then stopped watching until i saw you on Anthony Fantano's meme channel. And i came back and i was so happy for you, the guy who made me happy growing up for 5 years. I was so glad you had made it. I couldnt believe someone who i knew just wanted to have fun and entertain was actually getting the spotlight. I dont know why i made this comment, to be honest im a bit buzzed right now. But i know that after all these years, you deserved this slice of fame. You earned it the day you made me laugh. I dont want to leave some cheezy sign off like "i hope you read this" or something, but i remember you saying you still try to read comments, so i assume you'll see it. And if you do, thank you for the laughs, thank you for my distraction from reality, and thank you for becoming something.

If it means anything emp, I always enjoyed your videos and ESPECIALLY your collabs. You have crazy standards when it came to the collabs and OH MY FUCKING GOD I LOVED THE SHREKONING THAT THING MAKES ME LAUGH EVERY FUCKING TIME!!!!!!!!!!

Hey emp your channel has the most quality out of all of them

It felt like you saying the same thing you did years ago.  We know  about the Downward Spiral.  Pewdiepie fans know about the downward spiral.  Either tell us how to get out of it or where it goes, we know that we're in one.

I would like to say that I subed from a spongbob ytp and I had no idea that you would evolve this much...now I'm still a big fan you're in my top 5 YouTubers

Does anyone still remember durhamrockerz, i miss those vids

I'm not sure what element of the video would be the concept, but it was a good video. Hopefully you can ignore the ytp hate and just make whatever content you want. I've gone back and watched all your old videos too, but I think only the nascar video and a couple ytps didn't interest me enough to watch, everything else is great stuff (personal taste). Stay positive and make videos you can enjoy making.
Ever thought of doing some internet historian type content? I mean, talking about that kind of subject matter, not by making videos the way he does.
I'm always down for personal takes and stories and educational stuff, but I think your personality is what makes the content good. Basically I mean your content is interesting to watch because you made it, so make whatever you want and I'm sure it'll be worth watching.
Though that's just my opinion.

Another sad day to be reminded that this community is filled with zombies unless they comment

Curious about your views on Waxinator now? Are you more sympathetic towards him now? Pushing his popularity out of the way, what do you think of the content itself? :)

i got into your channel by your complaints about youtube a year or so back and i gotta say it feels nice seeing this more personal kinda content<br>keep it up if you wanna, and an early congrats to your college graduation

I'm a huge fan of all of your work and deeply respect you. You've got honesty and integrity by the boatload, and you are a big inspiration to me, especially because of how close we are in age.

I love it, you put so much thought into it, and I've found much insight in it that I want to remember of I ever catch myself or my friends in a similar situation.

I've literally been watching San Andreas vids all day

Question for you... why did you encourage people to unsubscribe from your channel? Was it in response to the hate you got from the ytp community and complaints on your videos, so you thought, “If you don’t like it, then unsubscribe?”

I actually would like to see your YTPs again however, I REALLY love your new series of videos and what you’ve been doing.

Emplemon don’t let the critics get to you. I’ll be honest, I didn’t really care for the Pixar and Spongebob ytp’s because they weren’t my style of YTP. But the content you created from 2016-now have been really entertaining and made me laugh when life wasn’t the best. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your work and I’ll never forget the laughs me and my friends had with it. <br>Ps: The ascended series is one of the funniest video series on YouTube in my opinion lol.

I have a question? Do people still like Youtube Poop, i mean as a kid i liked it, but going back it was all just creepy edits filled with memes and sh*t blended into a remix or something, it was like my old hybrid sodas, it was so funny, it tasted so bad, i liked it personally, but now i know that that soda was kind of lame... i mean look at all the other people's hybrid soda, Orange soda and coke mixed into one but also with whipped cream!

As a ytp viewer for 10+ years on this website, it saddens me that most of my favorite poopers have moved on to bigger and better things. But that's what it is, there's a beginning, a middle and an end to all things and after watching this video; my only response was that your audience at the time when you were a pooper, don't owe you a damn thing. Ytp was supposed to be "retarded art", where you could do what you wanted with the content you created and post it without giving a shit. And lets be honest here, " YouChew" was never meant to be the driving force for ytp content, even then and even now. Anyway, I still support ya, no matter if it's ytp or not, keep going strong bro👍

But first you gotta release a new Never Ever episode, lemonbro

But first you gotta release a new Never Ever episode, lemonbro

I’m sorry this happened to you Emp... 🙁 I remember when I first discovered you in 2013 and I thought you were pretty cool and found your content to be pretty cool. It’s a shame that these assholes caused you to quit because I enjoyed watching your YTPs. Oh well!

This is obviously all just a ruse to build hype for a 9-hour-long Green Sempsins ytp that Emp has been working on for years.

Emp love the new series, the video was very thoughtful and heartbreaking. I loved all the old YTP references, and if I had to complain about one thing in it that would be that your last YTP was in 2018. Ascended 4, which came out January 2nd 2018. But other than that great video.

3:46
I dunno if you read these replies but I've been a fan for a bit, mostly during the YTP only days, and I think I got a decent answer for this question, keep in mind this perspective I was, again, a fan during the YTP days and initially didn't like the transition, but have grown to like what you put out these days.

I think alot of the hatred came from just a few sourly received videos. All these videos came out about the same time, the unsubscribe video, that one video where you talked about reguardless of the collabs you'd put together, you couldnt get your fanbase to check out other channels, and that other video where you kinda pretend like we're treating you like an entertainment monkey for asking for the content thats niche enough already, and is a content type we subbed for initially.

Looking back on those vids I have more of an understanding for them, now that I'm situated with the personality projected. But at first when these were happening, we, atleast me, just knew your YTPs and nothing else.

And another point in being I never saw this criticism. I stay off youchew.

I think the idea is great! Also, can you add timestamps in your Pastebin music lists in future uploads?

Alright so imagine any cartoon, and edit it to the point that's it's nearly unrecognizable as the original cartoon

It’s where your editing movies and tv to make then say funny stuff

<b>"HELLO INTERNET AND WELCOME TO BEHIND THE MEM-"</b>

*"HELLO INTERNET AND WELCOME TO BEHIND THE MEM-"*

Know your meme made a pretty good explanation on it

Well usually its when people do a bowel movement to produce a YouTube video out.

Why do I read all your comments in your exact voice lol

YouTube Poop is what ALL true warriors strive for

@Therworldtube I really hope youre joking too

There was actually the same genre in Germany. But we call it ytk (YouTube kacke) it's crazy the same happened to the German community.

I refuse to believe that historian doesnt know what a ytp is

There is no <b>exact</b> definition for YouTube Poop, but EmpLemon gives the best.

behind the meme has a good videoe about it very educational

Don’t know why but I read this in his voice in my mind.

7.5k like on this comment? thats pretty odd

Refer to the behind the meme ytp video for an accurate description of the genre

may I suggest a video by Behind The Meme

@Aflay there’s still good YTP if you know where to look... Originalname is pretty good, fawful is still active (under the name SCAT/RAT), Sightofdelirium recently came back to youtube, and I’m trying my best but probably still sucking lol

Behind the Meme made a great video on the genre.

guess that "In The Field" episode wasn't informative enough

It's an ancient form of art only given to the chosen. Thou must be viable to attempt.

I think Lemon has been on an upward spiral mentally and now he's found it completely.

Sometimes your spiral goes so deep down, that your low becomes a new high.

Wow, didn't expect to see a comment of yours here! Hello~

@Robin Jankovic  I would actually <b>love</b> to be featured in some kind of Fried Comments video. If I were ever given an opportunity to be roasted, I would totally take it! After all, my self-esteem is about as strong as a Gorilla without arms. XD

@Pifflesome Puff Nadder oh good, worried another youtuber had to experience the fried comment's wrath. (even though it only makes people better, because they can grow and adapt to become stronger.)

@Robin Jankovic  Quoted the song, "Stuck in the Middle With You," made a link to this website of supposedly mythical Creatures, and did all of it for no reason. :)

@Pifflesome Puff Nadder <b>...what did you just do?</b>

@Pifflesome Puff Nadder *...what did you just do?*

@StoneTheMason there's an episode of Gravity Falls where they jump to a bottomless pit and then they fall out of the top of the pit and the pit is bottomless and it has two tops meaning if you fall into a bottomless pit you're going to fall out of the top of it man I don't think you're going to read all this but if you do thanks downward spiral is bottomless and he's now going out through the top of the Spiral

sometimes you gotta jump down to see the bottom..

happy to see you here byvsen, i think your own spiral is upward too, more now than ever, and you're an amazing content creator

I did not think i'd see you here! hows' Bo doing? XD

Hey, Green guy! 😄. Absolutely love your content and your dreams stuff. I really hope you keep doing it, absolute talent 👍


“Will EmpLemon ever poop again?”

“Most likely not.”

I think you need a checkup on your digestive system, then.

I’d say the shorts amongst his content will suffice to help support what point he’s trying to make.

I have cirrhosis of the liver and am dying rapidly

I laughed out loud in my living room, good one!

Funny how he say that but still add little poops on his videos. its like he's so good at pooping that it comes natural.

everyone asks "will emplemon poop again?"

but no one asks "how is emplemon poop again"

Relatable.  It's impressive how you've channeled all that negativity and desire for respect into a real talent.  You're a success story of how outsiders come out on top, and I hope you continue to get the respect that you deserve.

Holy mama, Cs188 is here too

You both go together like Salt And Pepper, best Ytp’s ever

This is something I like to call, the Scott cawthon effect.

I don't think it's just talent. EmpLemon, imo, reminded us, or at least just me, that YouTube, or any media for that matter, is about culture and how the ones who run the media could also destroy that link between media and culture. And he's also a reminder on how we ourselves can go through SOOOO much backlash and depression and still come out stronger

Holy fuck i never thought I'd see this channel again

Ily been awhile since I've seen that name.

Your content is some of my favorite YTPs on YouTube. We don’t want the JOJ we need the JOJ.

AAAA IVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL SINCE 2013

This entire comment section warms my heart.

@cs188 Holy crap dude, it's honestly been awhile since you've uploaded, well at least the last time I've checked your channel lately. And I find that you're still active on your account, commenting on Emp's vid.


Life Lesson:

If you try hard enough to master a skill, you'll eventually be called a "sellout hack"

Happens in music all the time. You sign with a record label? You sold your soul. Its a shame, but all you can really do is ignore it

Samuel Zuccati It was never EmpLemon it was the audience, but at least he made it out of a downward spiral

If someone starts liking you, the double of people will start hating you for the exact same reason


“Why the fuck are we stuck with you” might be the cruelest thing I’ve ever heard... that’s dead cold

"stuck" Stuck with what, just don't watch his videos

@BroJakMate Eh, it's usually bait by people jelly of a tan (if you are actually of European heritage, that is).

@Dragon Playz i finally did it, i finally met a nuisance r/dankmemes redditor on youtube

@SoggyBreadMan economic developments? Iirc why does America have such a huge poverty issue. The computer was built in the uk and slowly improved, nothing out of the ordinary, even China does that

@Dragon Playz
Also, just as an extra point of dissention...
Saying one must be "illogical" to believe in God only makes you more ignorant.

You don't have to be an expert in theology to understand that religion and biblical history are things that have been debated about since the birth of mankind.
No matter where, when, or how that birth happened.

If neither atheists nor men and women of faith have been able to come to full consensus on this topic, what makes you think your personal views are so concrete?

Given how disliked and shunned your previous hot takes have been so far, it stands to reason your personal views don't seem to hold much weight.

Call yourself a "logical man" all you like, you still act like an edgy atheistic "know it all" who judges other superficially.
(Although we all do that, I'm even doing it right now. So it's not like I have any merit to cast the first stone.)

@Dragon Playz <br>I get it's summer and you kids have nothing better to do, but Season 7 on Fortnite dropped so that should be more concerning for you.

16:45 dear God did this speak to me. For 5 years, 5 fucking years, from ages 12 to 17, I had been with a group of friends online. They were really my only REAL friends who knew the REAL me. For 5 years, I wanted to be respected by them so badly. But eventually, maybe I just got older or something, I just stared at a few messages and realized “wow, I hate almost every single one of these people.” They were boring, they talked about nothing, they were so insanely violent to any opposition to their group think to the point where they nit picked everything about everyone, and most of all, they never respected me. Even though I had hung around them and talked with them and played games with them for every single night, they never ever reciprocated any of it. They never made me think “wow, this person is my friend”. It was always a minefield around them. So,eventually I just left. I didn’t say goodbye, I didn’t have some big “FUCK YOU!!” moment, I just left. By the end of my time there, I realized that it was just 3 guys left. We went from around 10 closely knit friends, to 3. And everyday, it was relentlessly boring. And through all of it, no respect, I never ever was shown respect, and you know what, I’m glad I never got it because that’d mean I would have been in their level. You can be the sweetest peach on the peach tree, but some people don’t like peaches. So, I went in alone and came out alone. While I’m glad I was able to go through it, for better or worse, I’ll never forget them.


To quote Flats the Flounder, "Hey, that story really speaks to me."

YTP has become kind of exhausting. I'm fortunate enough to have made great friends through my collabs, but the infighting and elitism within the community, coupled with my stressful life making it harder to spark the kind of creativity needed to make YTP, has made it really difficult to keep making them consistently. I don't intend on quitting and I don't think I'll ever truly be done with them, but their current scarcity on my channel has made me feel a bit guilty. Am I betraying my original audience? Will people call me a sellout?

Then I remember that, like you, I also never intended to get popular making YTPs. I never even intended to get popular with media analysis videos. I just made the kind of content I felt passionate about making, and that's true to this day. If people don't like it, or they can't accept that my passion now lies with a different type of content, it's not really my concern.

I considered being a YouTube Pooper, but after seeing all of the cancerous infighting I would probably end up going down a downward spiral myself.  I love YTP's but the community is horrid.

I love Schafrillas and Emp, because of their great editing and essay style videos of course. YTP was just a way to start off, sucks that fucking elitists had to ruin that.

I definitely watch both of yalls content more now than when you were making YTPs

Ben J. Johnson I respect your opinion but really like his reviews and content but the YouTube poop community is just toxic I thought they made comedy videos

Love your video content as well. I only found you maybe about over a year ago but love your shit on shrek 2 shark tail etc...

Although I have disagreed with a lot of points you've made in videos, I find myself admiring you as a person with your new brand of content. You've made good choices, and as long as you're content, much like EmpLemon, that's all that matters.

I think the ending few sentences here sum it all up. Make the content you want on YouTube and if it gets popular, that's great. These days I'm subscribed to both you and Emp for similar reasons. You both make content I'm interested in watching and offer unique takes on subjects I might not take interest in otherwise. For me, the joy of YouTube in that way is exposure. Channels like yours, Emp, IHE, and many others are all radically different but are able to captivate me in a similar way, as they're forcing me outside of my comfort zone as an analyst, a consumer of media, and even a critic. That says something.

Nice speech, but, when's the Shrek Forever After video coming?

You know, when you say elitists and whatever, you're just generalizing. Nobody is going to react the same. You can't just generalize every ytp fan and creator. You don't have to bow down to anybody who wants something they want, but you can't assume everyone is like that. People like to throw around "rise and fall of ytp" like it has any credence what so ever, even though it's a growing art movement and many more people are gonna pick it up and grow, like Nation of Oranges. There's no elitism. This non existent idea is something that people create, when they have fanbases that become demanding and start getting angry over their lack of ytp. And that puts a you versus them mentality which can be very unfortunate but can happen easily. You don't have to be forced to do ytp, but don't be ashamed of yourself because of an invisible issue. No one will call you a sellout if you just address it properly and carefully, unlike Emp who, I love but still, addressed things very whiny and aggressively, which is why he got hate. In the past I mean I should be clear about that

dude i legit forgot you and emplemon were different people

Schaffrillas Productions I know you, you're the Miralurk king

you guys remind me a lot of each other
from jokes to analysis to memes
you guys should do a collab one day

tbh I discovered you and emp in the same way by seeing your new content, and I adore both of your types of content.  It does shock me that you used to be a YTPooper though.

You know this man is a true YTP og when he starts his conment with a semi-obscure Spongebob quote

Ok. I'm going to say this right now.

You guys are like parallel versions of each other. From the profile picture of a godlike character in what can be noted as wide mouthed surprise to the contrast of blue and red almost directly facing each other.

Love your content man! Do whatever you are passionate about, that is how you get the best kind of content on this site.

One could say, you went for shinier pastures

You and Emp remind me of each other in a lot of ways. You both got started in YTP, but I only started watching the two of you when you started talking about media, but you both have a lot of passion for the subjects you talk about. Keep it up!


How does one "sell out" with making YTP? Did these people genuinely believe that it's some form of high art?

Eh high or low you can still “sell out” to a community or whatever creative values they hold, even if it’s all in their heads


Imagine the shitstorm of backlash that emp would have gotten back then if people had found out about his real age.

@some random guy thanks, it vibri from vib-ribbon

@Ultra I don’t remember this was 3 months ago

I saw a comment on a video of Java versus bedrock in Minecraft. A kid said that his parents wouldn’t let him get a computer because he was too young so he couldn’t play Java.The comments were people just assaulting him and telling him he’s horrible just because he was a kid. It’s sad.

@Brandon Porter Man my friend is in love with her, dude's like 19. Funny shit

@Hoovers I searched and no I meant jessi slaughter. But now I’ve found out about boxxy so I guess I’ll look into that situation too.

@Mario Kingtana you mean Boxxy? Because if you do then yeah that sucked to be her

gerogerigegege yeah I remember that little girl from like late 2000’s internet that got bullied by everyone. I forgot her name but it was a meme basically. The internet is cruel.

@134Cerky If people had found out he was just a kid all of his effort making YTPs would have been turned down by youtubers and everyone would have just called him a lil baby with no talent lmao


YouChew is a forum of posh hipsters who expect everyone to make the same style of video and follow the safe kind of humor. Seriously, you'd think that a website dedicated to making funny internet videos would enjoy varied styles of humor and editing techniques, but nope they are just a bunch of envious losers.

Also I just checked Stewart's Channel. Comments are turned off, very typical of an overly sensitive moderator.

@Dr. Oofers  Before the comments were closed, everyone was copy pasting that YouChew comment he posted back in 2015  all over his videos.

I went to Stuart’s channel, listened to one of his videos, and in a few seconds I already wanted to click off. Turning off comments and ratings is kind of fitting for the fragile, shallow hide of flesh he bares.

Emp faced for the 1st the "Smart Heads" and Toxic people who exist in every community sadly

" forum of posh hipster " that is already a red flag

@Posh Rocketeer At least you don't have a Legoshi pfp.

That’s bold coming from someone with an ahegeo pic

Looks like they couldn't handle the lemon style

I guess he couldn't handle what he expected Emp to, ironic


the fact that there are YTP elitist is completely pathetic to be honest.

@LittleMissEevee True and also being part of a group that does more niche "underground" stuff. The newcomer gets booed at if they dare to mix genres or do it a little bit different.

@The Grassy Man Productions Yeah. Or just anything, That might be just me being nihilist, though.

@The Grassy Man Productions Don't let them stop you, if you've got some funny stuff to post, mate, put that shit on YT. Don't let some hateful gremlins keep you from doing what you love.

Screw them. <br>YTP should be about fun and stupidity- All those haters are just bitter that EmpLemon got lucky. This whole story has put me off making YTPs now. .-.

Screw them.
YTP should be about fun and stupidity- All those haters are just bitter that EmpLemon got lucky. This whole story has put me off making YTPs now. .-.

There will always be elitist in everything, the best thing we can do is not acknowledge them and go on with our lives

I never thought that this was even possible. The whole concept of YTP alone sounds chill, random, weird and fun. Personally I think they are just salty that EmpLemon's poops just gotten him more attention and led to a strong growth in his channel. It is definitely pathetic and mean spirited.


Hey EmpLemon,
        I doubt you'll read this, but I would just like to share my thoughts anyway. A few weeks ago I was trying to cheer myself up by cruising through some old-school vines and I stumbled across your video: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It's possible that Pulp Fiction being my favorite movie made me prejudice, but I am not exaggerating when I say it was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. At the time I had never even heard of a YouTube Poop. I did not know any of the backstory, the origin/context of "downward spiral' or anything but the memes. I went on to watch a bunch of your "complaining videos," all of which I enjoyed thoroughly, but it all left me thirsting. I eventually found a couple of your videos about YTP and watched Internet Historian's video about YTP and I came back to your channel. I proceeded to watch every single YTP that was available in the playlist on your channel. I legit could not walk the next day because my abs were so sore from laughing. I'm not making this shit up.
         Moving right along, I began searching for other YTP with a thirst, but nobody produced consistently well-made and funny material. Most videos just lacked... something. When I ended up back at your channel I started with the oldest video and worked my way on through to the newer ones. Where not every poop was equal even for you, I noticed that they got consistently funnier as time went by. Eventually it came to a meme-gasmic dank-max with ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I saw you hadn't produced more than a couple poops since then, and It was at this point that I found this video: Frying Comments. It left me feeling like I had just watched Batman give up on being Batman.
          The point I'm trying to make here is that I believe your video editing quality/skill, your panache, and your seemingly infinite pool of extra-salty rage combine to form the greatest content to ever grace this platform. It is my opinion that the highest form of poop is clearly that of a rant/shitpost, as exemplified by your previously mentioned, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH poop. I know this is a selfish request, but if you could find it in your heart to make some more of these rage-poops at some point in the future, I would be eternally grateful.

EDIT/PS: Metallica lost a lot of fans because of their "overly long" songs, but in the end we all found that the real fans were the ones who came for those "overly long" songs.

While I can understand the sentiment, the thing you wish would require EmpLemon to disregard his own sanity and joy to spill every ounce of bile he will ever hold.

It would be entertaining, but only in the same way as how many enjoy watching a mentally ill man trying to combat hate with self-destruction and booze.

You'd enjoy it, but will regret it when something bad happens because of it them.


"Will Emperor Lemon ever poop again? Most likely not."
Uploads a YTP two weeks later

"Will Emperor Lemon ever poop again? Most likely not."
*Uploads a YTP two weeks later*

Hey I think emp’s intestines need checking on

I mean, come on, it's natural. You can't keep it inside forever.


So, you asked if we had some stories on YouTube Poopers we used to know going through similar shit that's happened to them over their careers and...well, I've got two actually. And weirdly enough, neither of which I found nor followed because of their YouTube Poops. This comment might be a month late, but I still hope that if you take some time to read this, it might help to give a bit of perspective from someone on the outside looking in who lurked/casually followed these two and their content.

The first channel was actually one of the people you shouted out in the video: cartoonlover98, otherwise known as SomeDoodNamedJack/MadJackRabbit, and creator of "You're a Sad, Strange Little Man". He's now considered by many as one of the people whom "abandoned" YTP in favor of other pursuits to try and gain some sort of fame and branch out to other mediums, after he had felt that not only did he lack the passion for YouTube Poop, but that his real love lie in making art. Granted he did this through a solemn update video rather than the more poignant and "aggressive" way you ended up going out, but even despite putting it as politely as possible, and even despite him uploading and working on animations (storyboarding, hiring voice actors, scripting, the whole she-bang) for his own cartoon, people were vehemently harsh to him in some misguided attempt to try and force him back into making something he started to absolutely fucking despise as more people kept pestering him about YTP and telling him to continue to make his shit more edgy (and stop with his terrible cartoons), until eventually he just stopped making content altogether (save for just shitposting and doing character commissions on Twitter) and completely wiped the series off the map after having hated what he'd produced. That was the first time in a long time that the YTP community had me taken aback in how relentless they were.

The other person to be on the brunt end of that was MoBrosStudios, albeit his was two-fold (on top of having incredibly high expectations due to being the creator of Skellington's Revenge): the first part was when he branched off into making a single review video of The Top 10 Worst SpongeBob Episodes, back when that was still a thing. This sent a tidal wave of people after him either questioning where the hell his YTPs were and quickly calling him a "NC ripoff/sellout", or when he'd continue to review SpongeBob Episodes because "he promised he would", which lead him to getting furious at his audience and lashing out to everyone and eventually abandoning the channel altogether. This led him into a severe depression (on top of a death of his dad) that he's still combating in private to this day, though he seems to be in much brighter spirits. And while, after fulfilling that promised video seven years later on his new channel "anim8ball", finally satiating that remaining audience's want for that style of content...sadly the YTP community was relentless, essentially making him realize that despite his 3D animation passion...he'd always be MoBrosStudios and set to making YTPs...by making a trailer for one, recognizing the death of another famous creator in the community. And that was it. The community had to drag him back over there but in the end, he still wants to continue as "anim8ball" and not "MoBrosStudios", and he lost the drive to finish the Poop as of now.

Of course, this is just from what I've seen as a viewer/what they've said to us who've watched their content; it could be a much different story behind-the-scenes, but regardless: I guess if there's a takeaway to any of this, it's that...no, you're not necessarily alone in feeling bitter towards YTP/popularity, wishing for days in obscurity, knowing that you can never go back. Or that even if you did, you'll never truly be able to regain that admiration or clout you once had, because it seems many YTPers/creators have moved on to bigger and better things, be it due to passion and/or in spite of their audience.

And it honestly kinda sucks no matter what way you slice it and no matter what perspective you come at this from, but that's the Internet for ya. Sometimes you just have to roll with things, and hope that maybe one day, things might turn around in the end.

Good video, Emp. Can't wait for more, and if you do read this: thanks for taking the time to do that.

The naive among us might say that trolls or hackers are the scariest thing on the internet, but hell hath no fury more terrifying then a rabid swarm of anonymous entitled assholes.

holy fuck I didnt even know madjackrabbit was cartoonlover98!!

damn shame. people sometimes just aren't people.


Best lines in the video:
"Will EmpLemon poop again?"
"Probably not"


After seeing this video, I can not stop imagining a distant future where a young youtuber makes a video called "There will never ever be another youtuber like EmpLemon"


There will Never Ever be another ytp/documentarian like Emplemon.

Someone has to make a video like this. İt would be just amazing.


I don't care what these YouTube poop elitists say.

You defined my childhood for a brief period, and I know that sounds ridiculous but hear me out.

Back in the good old days when my mates and I were around 13 - 14, we saw your Uncredibles video, and instantly got hooked, then we watched all your other videos, and moved onto other YouTube's for more YTP content, but we always came back to you.

Your funny videos defined the next 2 years of "Hanging with the boys", every time we met up, my best mate and I learnt how to edit videos through months of trial and error, just to make a YTP that we found funny, it started with editing "Thomas the tank engine" episodes, and "Old Spice" commercial, on top of other commercials of cars we didn't like, and to be fair, we got pretty good at it.

We never uploaded these videos to YouTube, because for us it was just about the laughs, I think I've still got the old hard drive with all the old videos from years ago, it went from shitty editing and sound dubbing "Chadwarden" onto every sentence that might work with it, to complex inside jokes and social commentary within those YTP's we made.

Anyway I'm going on for too long, but just know this...

You made life just that little bit better for us, and we thank you.


Honestly, I think that Emplemon is one of the best storytellers on YouTube, up there with people like Jon Bois. He has this way to stress the importance of the the events he talks about that is truly special.


Imagine being elitist about and gatekeeping YTPs of all things.

"oh god dont let the plebs into our outhouse"

Everyone is kind of an elitist and gatekeeper at something even if they don’t admit it.
It can definitely ruin what something meant if you let people who understood the opposite to get into it.
Imagine if a started to think that we should not worry about climate change in a environmentalist organization because it’s too stressful.
But people should differentiate between being an asshole and wanting someone to understand the basic concepts of something.

Just seen a comment basically doing just that on The Sky Had a Weegee video

I really don't like this comment, your comments used to be so much better, it's honestly just pandering :/

Tell that to the madness combat animation community

Memes are like this. I can't believe how many people whine about AAUGH NORMIES RUINED MY PERFECTLY GOOD MEME THEY'RE POSERS AND DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY IT'S FUNNY!!!!!!!

Man from Art Twitter In 2020 also can't imagine that, it sounds ridiculously stupid

@Vivimos_en_una_sociedad <br>ikr? the whole point of these poops are to not take them seriously lol

@Vivimos_en_una_sociedad
ikr? the whole point of these poops are to not take them seriously lol

@Slenderquil Ramcharge thats what one would hope for, this other crap sounds like drama "content"

I think most of the people the ytp community (as few as there are now) have mellowed out quite a bit, and they can just appreciate the funny edited videos as just funny edited videos now.


This dude made a 29 minute video responding to 1 comment if that doesnt tell you how creative he is i dont know what will

And later reached the commenter out, just like a documentary, damn!

He is truly the Nick Robinson of the YTP community


"I really dislike this type of pooping." is just too funny out of context I'm sorry

At first I didn't take it this way but after reading your comment, I had a long laugh! Thanks dude!


"When everyone's (on a downward spiral)...no one will be." is strangely uplifting.


So, will the next episode be considered, “Refrying Comments” or “Panfrying Comments”?

@Ford Knievel And then you try too hard to be serious. It's fine man, you didn't have to apologize for something dumb like that. Just be you, and if you are funny then be funny(which the comment was). Don't be so hard on yourself, shit like what you apologized for doesn't even matter

Refrying, then Panfrying, then Deepfrying, then the comments mocking a sequel, then a sequel to the comments mocking a sequel, then...

My bad…

I try too hard to be funny. I haven’t watched the whole video and noticed how serious the discussion was. I guess, in the pursuit of trying to make people laugh with you, you start to care less about their insides.

Now I understand why some people hate me… haha


I used to be a semi-popular (at the time) YTP'er on my alternate channel who made a bunch of poops with JonTron, and I remember doing it back in the day as a high-schooler just wanting to do something to make some people on the internet have a laugh. I never took down any of my stuff, its still sitting there. Last I checked, my most popular poop (JonTron Sells you PokeShit) is sitting at over 300k views.

I was in the exact same boat as you, I never did it for the fame or popularity, but it was just a passion project that I eventually lost. Whilst I never got the disdain that you ended up growing for your poops, (for reasons I never understood) after a while the passion was lost because it was just becoming a giant mess of people trying to become the top guy in the scene, and I grew tired of wanting to compete in such a market. Especially when I was seeing how some of them were beginning to build egos that made them rather unlikable.

I too was a YouChew lurker (and a member, because they did actually send me a confirmation email), and I can remember some days logging in and seeing some of my work near the Top featured lists. At the time it felt like this amazing rush, but looking back at it, if I had kept going and was more regular at making content, I suspect I would've grown the same sort of scrutiny, just from the part of the community that was more into the kind of stuff I was "pooping".

I remember taking quite a bit of a break, before making one last JonTron YTP around 2016 or so, and by then the ship had already sailed. (JonTron's Dick Hunting Challenge, which only sits at about 17k views.) Nowadays, I don't even know who are the regulars anymore, but I can only imagine they have gone through atleast some portion of hatred. It just seems to become the popular trend; When you become the figurehead, you become the targeted.

To date I don't think I'll ever go back, despite aborted attempts at doing so.

You have clearly worked hard to build what you have now and I find that the content you produce nowadays (notably the "Never Ever" series) is amongst some of your greatest work. You deserve to have some sort of success, and hopefully in a way, you as a person are able to look back at everything and realize that despite the hardships, it was all worth it.

Keep up the great work.

Your comment made me realize that aka is "Also known as"
Holy crap, cheers to ya, mate.

You brought me and my friends plenty of laughs, thank you for what you did.


I know you’re never gonna read this comment in a thousand years but, I really think it’s a shame this video didn’t perform as well as many others. I come back here a lot because it is hands down one of my favorite videos on YouTube. Some of your other videos, maybe all of the Never Ever series, are probably objectively better; but there’s something about this video that feels so viscerally real. It reminds me of why I love YouTube and what makes it so interesting to begin with. This is like the exact opposite of boring manufactured drama that you can find almost anywhere on YouTube anymore. It’s not really a video about a comment, but a video about a person and their struggle to be respected. The comment at the focal point ends up serving as a great narrative device and ultimately makes this video feel so unusually authentic. You really could have just ignored it; many people would suggest that’s the best course of action. But, I think we’re all glad you didn’t. I don’t really have any amazing philosophical conclusion or anything, I’m just some dumbass online, but I just wanted to say thanks. I’ve watched this video probably tens of times all the way through and I’ll probably never view you or YTP quite the same again.

This video needs us all to just sit on the hood of a car, and contemplate it all, while watching the stars


Am I the only one who thinks the YTP news business sounds way too much like drama alert, even in concept alone?


Watching this video and seeing the one you've made on Hungrybox really puts a lot of stuff into perspective especially with the parallels you can draw between the two of you. I think it's poetic a video you made dedicated to the struggles Hungrybox had to endure in his own community is currently, as of now, your top most viewed video on this channel. I'm too fucking lazy to really detail all the stuff I've noticed, but I think the way the both of you really endured and used that negative energy to really push forward refine yourselves into better selves is genuinely inspiring.


well, now that i've learned that emplemon's signature funny, the downward spiral, comes from deep-seated trauma over being endlessly ridiculed over a voluntary hobby,


That community, like many out there, loathes talent. They lack it themselves and hate that their medium might require actual effort from them. So they attack anyone who stands out. Self loathing. Equality of outcome. Crabs in a bucket.


You’re hated in the ytp community? I’ve literally always loved your work before the Uncredibles YTPs. But I guess that’s me.

I always thought his YTPs were some of the best made tbh


Hey Emp, I just want to say that irrespective of how I felt about your YTPs back then, there's no denial that you're a talented editor with a gift for storytelling. I've been watching some of your commentary videos, like the Never Ever episode on SpongeBob, and honestly it's rare that opinion pieces sustain my interest for as long as 26 minutes. I mean it's not just the editing (and there's some really brilliant stuff -- like the grid of the entirety of the first 3 seasons' intro cards at 1:11) , but the manner of your delivery and the depth of your insights that make the videos so interesting to watch. Honestly man, the delivery of the ending had me in chills (and that's kinda weird to say about a video about SpongeBob lol). Also for the record, I really appreciate the work you've done documenting YTP's history in the past few years. Honestly, I think everyone in the YTP community owes you a debt of gratitude for these videos because they've sort of helped validate YTP as the important cultural phenomenon that it is. Like that SantaWithTeeth tribute you made in 2015 for instance, I don't think anyone else other than you would've had the motivation to go that far to help preserve the history of his channel, and also tell it as well as you did. So yeah, even if you continued making YTPs to this day in the style of Spinge Bulb I don't think it would've been nearly as important or fullfilling as the stuff you currently do now. I'm sorry for the unnecessarily harsh criticisms I leveled back in 2014. But honestly considering how far your channel has come in recent years, I have to wonder if this is not another instance of something I've been thinking about lately -- that rejection is merely redirection towards something better in life. Perhaps then it was necessary for you to plummet down the spiral in order to ascend. (God that was cheesy). Anyway. Best of luck with the rest of college, and with the future of this channel. I'll be sure to watch.

@Hurricoaster Its pretty funny though NGL. I work with animals and stuff. So I deal with poop alot. I currently work at an animal shelter. Im definitely going to use that one from now on "I dislike that type of pooping" lmao.

had a dog poop on its bed today, for example. Or like old dogs that poop while they walk. Or dogs that like to poop on stuff. I can think of alot. lol

@Le Bonk sometimes to go forward you gotta make a right turn.

Tl;dr "We'll be watching your career with great interest..."

@nightracker kingmaker basically: i respect you now and the work you do currently sos about the angry comments

@Le Bonk "This makes me wanna turn 360 degrees and walk away"

@#Coconut TV  Comments should never be a reason holding you back from getting your content out there. My viewpoint is this: if you get a negative comment that has some modicum of truth or constructive insight, take it to heart, learn from it, and move forward with that new knowledge. Criticism isn't necessarily a bad thing because it helps us develop as artists. But some criticism is baseless and obviously there are trolls out there. If you get a comment that isn't constructive and is outright mean, then just ignore it, delete it and move on. If they don't take the time to explain the reasons behind their criticism, why should you take any time out of your day to give a shit? Only worry when someone actually has a valid argument. And even then, there's no sense in worrying or feeling bad. Just learn from it and expand your abilities.

@Hurricoaster its this stuff that worries me and makes me question about ever trying to enter the ytp community

you are giving to much credit to a. bad meme

He is legitimately one of the greatest story tellers.  I watched an hour long documentary of his, based off of Leafy.  I swear he is the only person who could keep me interested on something like that for an entire hour.

@nightracker kingmaker If you don't want to read it don't read it.  Don't expect others to shorten things, because you are too lazy to read the whole thing.  He had to take the time to type the comment and check his grammar.  It takes a significantly smaller amount of time to read something than to type something.  It's just rude and demeaning to expect others to adhere to your sloth and not put the amount of well-needed detail in their comment.  Had he shortened it it would have seemed superficial and left out vital details.  He was not just rambling on about random crap.

@Some Bonehead Back then I did not state my opinions well, I know that. I know that because there was a time I did say something that ended someone's YouTube career, or at least it seems it did. I don't want to get into the details of it but, the YTP contained material I thought was crass and insensitive so I said so and unsubscribed. The sad thing was he was a talented editor and I didn't get that across it to him. There were so many ways I could've said "Hey, you're a great YTPer and I like this and this and this, but I'd suggest toning down on the X because it might alienate some of your viewers." It pains me to this day to think about what he could've been if I had said it that way. Pains me to this day. At least it served as a lesson that words can have a lasting impact on people. You live and learn sadly by your own boneheaded mistakes sometimes.

This made my heart swell. Very wholesome, and awesome showing of good character. ♡

................A bit long dont ya think?

Hurricoaster never thought I'd see a comment from you on this channel! Emp and yours' channels made some of the favorite videos of my early days on YouTube thanks for the entertainment and supporting emp

damn wish i could read... imma like anyways!

We should be glad you aren't that bastard who made a 1 hour complain comment.

@Hurricoaster When you say "I'm glad he channeled the criticism towards something arguably better", I have to wonder if you would honestly feel the remorse you feel if Emp had gone down a different path in life and abandoned his YouTube career.

@Syrus Coy I was not indulging myself, I felt that I couldn't convey what I was feeling without writing a detailed response. TL;DR, I didn't handle myself well back then, regardless of how I felt about his videos. I'm glad to see he channeled the criticism towards something arguably better

@big lumby yeah, he only backpedaled because Emp was a threat to him and people could back him up. Reminds me of someone.

Y'know what? Yeah. On multiple of his commentary videos I've cried profusely and gave a standing ovation while alone in my room.

One thing i still dont see answers to is why? Why was there such hate on Emp as he practically hides it in the video

Bro I still watch your "rip snortin good time" videos even to this day. They have the staying power that no other YTP's have.

@nightracker kingmaker tldr He like Emplemon. Thinks Emplemon important.

big lumby <br>I guess Stu got swept in his own downward spiral.

big lumby
I guess Stu got swept in his own downward spiral.

I have to say, dude, I do agree with what your saying: it was most likely necessary for Emp to be shat on and be denied respect on order for him to work for and get said respect from the general YouTube audience. Because of it, his content is overall way better and more thought-provoking than it was in 2012. That said, I think Stuart K Reilly went a wee bit too far with his contempt for Emp. The man still took potshots at him prior to him uploading this video, and seeing him immediately do a 180 and apologize for being so much of an inflamed asshole reeks of ingenuity and damage control. What a sad and reputation-obliterating revelation for someone who used to be a big figure (even a leader, at some points) in this community to be this petty and childish.

@Andrezits Probably one of the dumbest sentences I've ever written. The first time I saw that in this video I was like "lol who the fuck would write something so stupid?" Then I realized that person was me apparently (facepalm). Well, you live and learn I guess. We all are stupider than we realize. It only takes looking back at comments from 5 years ago to recognize it

"I really dislike this type of pooping." <b>bruh</b>

"I really dislike this type of pooping." *bruh*

Looking back on everything, I'm glad I stayed. Yes, I absolutely loved your YTPs. Your YTPs made me laugh harder than anything I had ever seen on the internet at the time, and I was saddened when I realized you wouldn't be making them anymore. I had wondered whether you were going to be making anymore videos at all, and then you made complaint videos. You might not have liked them, but they have value in their own right being valid criticism of things that most people seemed to have overlooked. Then you started making documentaries; damn good ones too. And thanks to that, you've come full circle as a YouTuber and have utilized your talents to make something original and different in its own right. That's pretty fucking impressive. You've not only turned your channel into something special and unique that stands out, you recovered from a downward spiral that most other YouTubers never would've come back from in the first place.


this video was the first time i have seen the supposed dark side of the ytp community, i actually do wanted to see it for myself, because i always thought the communtiy was full of chill and cool people, but as with all things, that is too unrealistic, and emp, if you ever see this, look at what you have done recently, you went from making great ytp, to great documentaries and  a lot of people liked it and you have had a pretty dedicated fanbase, and HEY, you even got a million subs!, so congratulations emp, keep making people happy, no matter your content is


This was an interesting video for me to watch. Back when I made YTPs I always saw you as one of the great poopers to laugh and learn from and waited forever for each Frying Nemo. In fact, in a way you even affect me to this day. I remember when I applied to The SpingeBill Collection 2 and didn't make it in I was disappointed, but ready to learn and become a better pooper. Then when the SpingeBill Send-Off Collab came out I worked my ass off and was so proud to make it in. What does this have to do with you though?

When Weesloo left a comment on my video that EmperorLemon, coolcat, cartoonlover and SinnedTragedy all watched and enjoyed my video I felt like I was at the highlight of my "career". Specifically knowing that you, EmperorLemon, the biggest and greatest YouTube Pooper on the platform watched and enjoyed my poop four years ago still has brought me pride and satisfaction throughout the years.

It made me so happy I even made this video about it. This is how you (and the others) made me feel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AJiQGIUP5w

I loved hearing this human side from you, I never even imagined that the hate affected you because you were so big. Remember, the haters are loud, but most of the fans are too busy enjoying the ride. Considering your revenue, it seems like you're on an Upward Spiral anyway. Be proud of your work, but I mean, sometimes I Iook back at my old videos and cringe too haha. Cheers.


I rarely write comments directly to YouTubers, because obviously, most of the time they simply get lost in thousands opinions about theirs most various videos. And, maybe this comment will be lost too, but anyways, Emp, I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for yours entertaining content, and for a story of yours origins, because yours channel has one of the most interesting story of rise to fame. And, also thank you for telling about YTP community problems. I've never could've even imagine, that such, don't even know how to say it, "light-hearted" content, which is just guy, making various jokes via editing some piece of media, can have such an elitist members of community. Thank you


can relate to a lot of stuff in the video, was a really cool thing to watch

Why do I see you on every video I stumble upon?

Cyranek is fricking everywhere. It's amazing and he actually posts good comments so you know he watched the videos. Crazy stuff. Love it

Cyranek: Lol, Observe

Me: Lol did Cyranek even watch the video? He said he doesn’t need sympath-

EmpLemon: Hearts Comment

Me: Time for a crusade

EmperorLemon, the Beethoven of YTPs. Did different stuff. Received a backlash. Ignored it. Persevered.


This is the most candid I've ever seen an "internet person" for lack of a better word, be. I've never met you, only know your voice and face from a screen, or as a wacky admiral akbar, but I feel like I'm being spoken to like a trusted friend. To have the vulnerability and humility to share so much detailed personal insight is super admirable. You are a kind hearted person, and awesome. I hope you get more comments like this "here's some choccy milk, because your epic" because after all the vitriol you've endured, and decided to grow from, I'd say you deserve some choccy milk because your epic.<br>Love your videos pal, keep it up (:

I go back to this video, quite a lot. It's really well made and an immersive story.


I miss the old days, but I respect your explanation for why you stopped. I still remember being a kid and watching your ytp.


Just a few days ago I left an incredibly toxic comment on a YT channel that brings me lots of positivity. I've been a depressed asshole lately was probably in a horrible mood when I wrote it, It was calling out how "bad" the particular episdoe was and even making fun of viewers who appeared on it.

Not only did one of the featured viewers comment and "thank" me for my input, but someone else who I respected told me I was genuinely mean spirited. I made the comment not even really thinking that others would read it, and when I saw the feed back and response I felt so horrible that I deleted the entire account and made this new one. Its almost a week later and the fact that I actually wrote something so nasty about something that should be positive, still hurts me.

My POINT is, if you see a mega asshole comment, it's probably just someone feeling like a mega asshole and you shouldn't take it to seriously. I'm writing this because I heavily identified with that dude who completely broke down your channel and then felt bad for it later. Your allowed to act however you want on the internet. But it probably is better if we all kept our negative thoughts to ourselves. Btw, this video was great 👍

I've done that, but I don't feel bad because I'm a bit of an asshole.  A smartass ya might say.

@SentoB I agree as well, on the opposite end of the spectrum its extremely irritating when a comment section displays real disapproval and criticism and the creator just boils it all down to negativity or haters.

That's a heartfelt experience, and there's respect for being honest about what you did and how you felt. I agree wholeheartedly that some 'mean' comments may be stemming from those who are suffering themselves. However, I think that we should still take them seriously and respond to them just as those people did to that comment of yours.

What I think we as people need to learn to do differently is be willing to forgive and accept after someone has done something wrong, not for us to be abused but to give people second chances just as you are here. Respect man


This may be a year late and will never been seen by emp but i love your content and you are probably my favorite creator because youre one of the most real people on this site. You dont care about subs you only care for the respect that people give you. This may mean nothing coming from a man who writes music and just speedruns random games but i respect you and your journey of doing what you love. Creators need to do what you do just create content they love and just forget about the numbers only focus on the ones that watch you because they like your content.


Isn't it counterintuitive for the YTP community to take itself too seriously?


Huh, I never knew this insanity with YTP.<br>It's so oddly toxic and up it's own ass, treating it like a massive artistic movment with standards to uphold and all that.

I somehow always make my way back to this video, the way Emp just doesn't give a shit is something I could learn from him.<br>Thanks for all the laughs with the YTP videos, and thanks for all the other content you produce that is constantly fascinating in an era where that's hard to come by

Imagine being respected by the YTP community.

This comment was made by the EmpLemon gang.

Imagine taking so much pride in the downward spiral, you make it the channel theme.

This post was made by the YTP community.

Some may say Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one...

Imagine exiting the downward spiral?

I'm all the way from Botswana and I want to thank you for your wonderful. I stumbled upon you last year with meme theory. IYou are skilled with words but resilience is also up there with story telling. I wouldn't know you if you'd folded or did YTP heck I still don't even know what that is but I'll go into your archive.  You are good Emperor you are fucking good


Came for the YTP's.<br>Stayed for the oddly specific documentarys.

Will there ever be another episode of Frying Comments? This is still one of my favorite videos on your channel Emp, I'd love to see more of this series.


This is a very interesting, dramatic and kinda sad backstory for why you are the way you are today...I also like the Noncredibles reference, with Syndrome talking about selling his DOWNWARD SPIRAL when he gets old.


No wonder other YTP creators stopped uploading altogether, trying to impress them is like walking through a minefield with clown shoes.

More like trying to walk on egg shells while dead lifting 600.

@The Titan Noisepuppet came back and it's glorious

Yeah, like Jesus. I'm surprised he lasted this long in such a <b>toxic</b> environment. Like holy hell, I'm just dumbfounded people can be this bitter and petty, it's kinda laughably pathetic to some extent

Before YouChew was shut down. I use to be on there. Emplemon was always getting shit on

Some of them have started uploading again. :)

A minefield, but the mines are just a bunch of bitter sad clowns.


Watching this right after that “fairness”statement on the Homer’s Enemy Never Ever honestly hits different


This is my favorite video on youtube. I don't know why but something about the editing, commentary and overall storytelling makes this the most beautiful video on this site. Thank you for the constant and amazing content output.


So from what I can gather: If you want to be respected, you must spend years perfecting a skill, and not show it to nobody.


I hate that I automatically blurted out "STUFFIN' YOUR FACE AS USUAL" as soon as the video started


However, your style of ytp is unique and amazing. Its sad people like that guy are that dense


You make this story about a furry calling you unfunny sound suprisingly interesting.


I can't believe it's been that long since 2014, I remember your YTP videos with a lot of fondness, they were great and I laughed at them.
I don't expect another YTP, which seems just fine to me because the community that made them seems to be dead.
I love your new videos, it shows that you're great at criticizing with valid arguments and youv'e changed a lot about the way that I think about the topics you've made videos about.
The Never Ever series is absolutely amazing.

The community that originally made them seems to be dead, but YouTube Poop is an art form, albeit a rather silly one. It has continued to survive, and will continue to survive.

If you want my uninformed, filthy casual recommendation, look for Jack Duripper (a pooper) and Protegent YTPs (Protegent became a source material for YTPs sometime around 2017, and... well, you have to see it to believe it).


This is so oddly fascinating to listen to about something that doesn't seem that significant on surface level. I can't even describe just how it feels to know all of this.<br>Thanks, Lemon.

Thanks, Lemon.


YTP community was so elitist back in that Youchew hayday. Even I was in on that bullshit mentality train and I regret it all the time. I'm hoping that shit has dissipated by this point. I'm not really involved at all anymore minus the folks who were in those initial Skype chats 1,000 years ago but like hoooooooooooooly shit I remember the amount of pettiness and elitism back then ESPECIALLY in the old tennis community. I had a death in the family and had to drop out of a match and they wrote a Chewiki article about how bad my entry was and how I haphazardly left or whatever. Godspeed, Lemon

I think its almost inevitable with pretty much any community. Elitism is how we make ingroups and outgroups and you feel like you loose some "Magic" when something you like gets to popular and most newer members don't quite get what makes the specific thing so great. This often fall into "toxicity" or whatever, but its a well known process. Core -A gaming has a great video about the concept of community and how it pertains to fighting games called "Analysis: The Need for Community".

Some Guy Paragon to put it from my perspective, I observed a lot of first person harassment and a general lack of camaraderie among the larger base of users. Not to say there wasn’t because there definitely was and I still talk to people I met in Skype calls 7 years ago, however, any newcomer who didn’t use x software or used x source would get relentlessly ragged on. Like, I remember just shitting on anyone who used Spongebob as a source because “they only used it to get clicks” and to whoever I did that to that can see this. It was all just kind of a lame, tense spitting contest to get the most attention. I was definitely a part of the problem and it’s one of the things that drew me away from the community after a while. It wasn’t fun to compete over something that had nothing but a pointless social reward. Nowadays, I’ll just put something together for the hell of it if I want to and I definitely enjoy that over anything else. It wasn’t all bad, definitely not, however, thinking back about the worst parts give me a bad taste in my mouth.

So what your saying is in  a nutshell the YTP community back then was... well kind of a place where people kept talking shit... oh ok.<br>Sorry I just started YouTube in 2013 and I would like to hear a history of all the things that went down...

About years ago I watched your videos,then I left for other channels and you started to fall in a downward spiral to the deepest recess of my memories.

But now,I rejoined.


I'm glad I stuck with you, emp. I can fondly remember waiting for your ytps, then later sharing my frustration with your fanbase during the frying dory incident. Now, your videos are better than ever, with your growth becoming more and more exponential by the day. You're not on a downward spiral any more, emp. You're moving up. Thanks for these years and the happiness you've given us.


Just want to add to the comments saying you’re a gifted storyteller and good at making valid points.  I’ve watched a couple of your videos in the past but yesterday watched 2 about NASCAR (a subject I’m not even remotely interested in) and started going through your historical videos.  Well done. 👏🍍


I’m glad we are stuck with you because you’ve made some of the best god damn content on this damn platform.


Typical YTP casual fan: This is funny, I bet the person who made this was just having fun.
YTP fans: [*INTERNAL INFIGHTING AND SHITFLINGING*]

@Doug Payne You mean hardcore ytp fans. Most people who make YTPs are nothing like that.

+I'm a fuckin rock. I wasn’t around the community in its heyday, so what I can tell you is that you can sit down and casually enjoy a YTP if you so choose.  Even the comments might not be particularly bad, depending on the one you watch.  However, there is a great amount of elitism from people who act like the only good Poopers stopped making content sometime before 2012 (or much earlier).

The community has been around long enough that there are many different flavors of Poop, and everyone has their preference for certain creators or eras.  It just happens that many of these creators made less than a dozen videos before going off the grid a decade ago.  Also, Poopers like Emp who went on to do other things fall victim to both their older fans and longtime detractors for not making good YTPs.

I can understand why YouTube Poop is taken seriously by people like Emp who make (or made) highly-edited, surprisingly coherent shitposts over the course of weeks or months.  However, the community at large should have a much more comical nature and intent than it seems to have, and even the big creators should know that all they’re doing is making people laugh and, at most, pleasing their senses with interesting visuals and audio.  There’s nothing but ego and nostalgia to fuel the elitism, but these are very powerful forces that are present everywhere, so do not underestimate them.

I'm new to watching YTPs.<br>Is this really how it is?

I'm new to watching YTPs.
Is this really how it is?

This is painfully true of every community.  When enough people have reason to interact with each other, some of these interactions will be negative.  Add forums and social media, perfect ways to spread controversy and half-baked opinions, and you’ve got a toxic community!

Well it's not called <b>YOUTUBEPOOP</b> for nothing you know.

Well it's not called *YOUTUBEPOOP* for nothing you know.

I didn't know about any that shit so yeah pretty accurate.


I had no idea that the YTP community was so deep and interesting, thanks for shedding light on the YTP universe!


I always love coming to this channel and rewatching stuff every once and a while, it shows a growth in style and imo quality


This is one of my favorite channels. One of the few that excite me when a new video is released. I'm newer to the channel, so all the drama is news to me, but thanks for your work.


This reminded me of my time working at a place. I struggled and this reminded me so much of my time in development hell. Emplemon is a outsider who made me escape my nightmares with my life in development and made me find the underground internet.


As we continue Emp Lemons monthly downward spiral series we find our hero in a downward spiral origin of his downward spiral


I've been subscribed since Frying Nemo and I still love Emp's content to this day, even if it isn't YTPs anymore.


It's very interesting you take your editing and stylize it in a manic fashion. I like how more toned down it is in this video. Keeping it informative yet not so overdone.

As someone a lurker of the original ytp community, it's interesting how entitled these people could get over their hobby imo. It was like, completely missed to me.


We respect you, and will continue to watch. But I genuinely want you to make the content that YOU want to make. Burning yourself out for others' enjoyment isn't healthy for anyone. Keep finding your passion and developing your skills, and just simply have fun with it! Best of luck to you on college and your further career. We all love you, and want you to do what you want. This video was pure gold.


you've remained one of the best poopers/youtubers i have ever seen. even when i was 10 and didn't understand the actual legend i was watching. you keep doing what you do and i and a whole bunch of other people will enjoy. you're one of the greats man.

blipboi gilgamesh he never had the intention of blowing up and was bashed by people he looked up to to this day. Sure he didn’t handle it perfectly but to say he’s entitled is overstating it.

To be honest, I think he has become somewhat of an entitled booger.

Don't wanna break 420 likes, so I'll give an encouraging dislike instead.


I've been here since 2011 and never left. Maybe it's just because I like both YTP and commentary but I've always thought you've done both at a higher level of quality than many other channels in those genres. I certainly appreciate the editing chops and non-standard style you've kept from the old YTP days (i.e. this video ends with a meme that cuts off abrubtly rather than a standard outro/end slate). Keep doing what you want to do.


I love that you stayed.  And if you need to go, I’ll still love you.  The best part of leaving is that the haters fall off.   All that remains after they are gone is nostalgic love into existential bliss.   Who comes back to a two year old video to complain and get hot clicks?

Maybe 7 people?  8 if you include Ms Helen?   But she doesn’t know how to use the computer.


This man has the best and most interesting content on YouTube I swear your never ever series is just amazing.


I, for one, enjoy your old YouTube poops, AND your new discussion videos.


Regardless of whatever you choose to do in the future, at the very least I’ll be supporting you. Your videos like this honestly make me think about my own place on the internet n wether or not e fame and internet points even matter in the long run. I’ll definitely stay subbed to you for as long as you’re on here, and kitty would definitely be proud of you for what you do :)

@TheAwesomeGuy contrary to belief, leukemia actually affects more adults.


i feel like the style mixing actual interesting content with some YTPish jokes sprinkled throughout is awesome

most likely no one will ever see this, i just wanted to say that


I found you today from youtubes' algorithm on a game I never play about a guy who was hated by his community but surpassed it all to become the best. Now after seeing this I can appreciate the level of thought you go into making these videos and your true admiration of those who make it above all others. Best of luck


We’re here for you my guy. Toxicity is the one of the hardest things to hear and deal with. No one really deserves it.


this video actually opens people up to understanding of how content creators of the ytp community work.


This video alone makes the leafy one feel more...personal I guess you can say. Like, it felt like that small segment of you describing how we all could relate to Leafy had a lot more than what we believed or thought of, not just about you, but about everyone. A story of a passtime or hobby we enjoy casually getting invaded by something or someone and our first response to this invasion is always to fight it out and hope to win or flee rather than trying to calm down and thinking about it slowly or rationally cause we're all young and can't keep up with how fast things out of our control is going by for us. It's honestly sad perspective especially when these stories usually involve true characters being revealed, bridges being burned, and even at times, a good guy/bad guy arc where everyone piles up on one dude til he gives or dies which shit kinda sucks. I would've never guessed purposely bad edits of TV shows, movies, and games for the sake of comedy could have this kind of social ladder and plots to them, but I guess at some point in time, our love for the things we do and enjoy will be tested, even if one of those enjoyments is making fun of people online.

Damn, that's deeper than I though. Oddly enough it reminds me of Totalbiscuit. I remember years ago he was talking on the gamestation podcast about this guy who made an app called flappy bird then deleted it from the app, store claiming he couldn't take all the attention. Totalbiscuit was obviously projecting his situation with all the bitter abuse and hate he got onto the guy. But Jesse Cox was saying it was all a con to drum up even more hype for the game and that he would put it back on the app store in a week. Jesse ultimately ended up being correct.<br>But it makes you think, TB felt like shit, felt like he was getting tons of unjustified hate, felt like there were so many people against him and he didn't know why and continued getting that hate long after what it was relevant to was over and done with. And he felt like he could only express it through this con artist who made a mobile bird game. Perhaps it is people being envious of success or perhaps it's that they feel you're making their 'thing' mainstream, I don't really know. But I do really appreciate Emp being honest with what was happening and how his felt through it all. It gives insight to us and hopefully make him feel better, perhaps even bury the hatchet with a few people.

Perhaps it is people being envious of success or perhaps it's that they feel you're making their 'thing' mainstream, I don't really know. But I do really appreciate Emp being honest with what was happening and how his felt through it all. It gives insight to us and hopefully make him feel better, perhaps even bury the hatchet with a few people.

The difference btw emp and leefy though is leefy started targeting other people to ridicule them and then turned on his friends. Emp just shot back at his haters


You keep calling it the downwards spiral but I honestly think that its the period of your best content. Keep growing, dude!
