ToiletPranker
|
ToiletPranker is a member of the Speakonia Community since 2008. He is considered by many to be one of the most legendary users of the Third Generation of the Barney Bunch, having produced many a classic video in his 13-14 years on YouTube. He would continue to post regularly until disappearing sometime in 2012, resurfacing again during the first Barney Bunch Renaissance before once again disappearing. Unfortunately, his main YouTube account was terminated in 2022, but he would resurface again on VidLii, and his videos would be archived.
History[edit]
ToiletPranker joined YouTube on November 21, 2008. At the time, he was well known for doing videos in the manner of many members of the Newgrounds-era of the Barney Bunch, even reuploading a few flashes from Newgrounds to YouTube. Alongside these, he also made Drew Pickles Goes To videos, Secret Missing Episodes, and more experimental videos, one of which had Drew Pickles use a voice from the Commodore Amiga. One of his videos, Crazy Frog- The never before seen original!!, was one of the few Speakonia videos to surpass a million views. He also collaborated with BooNube to produce a Barney Bunch Christmas special, which he did the second part. Another popular video of his is Drew Pickles makes a trick with the portal gun, where Drew creates his very own waterfall using his diarrhea and the Portal gun.
After a few years of activity, ToiletPranker disappeared in 2012. After a while, he would reappear to participate in the first Barney Bunch Renaissance in August 2016 by reuploading three classic videos, followed by an update video. This comeback was short-lived though, as by September 13, he uploaded his final video to date before disappearing once again.
In March of 2022, tragedy struck when ToiletPranker's channel was terminated by YouTube, one of many casualties of YouTube's recent string of terminating community members that included Skewt and NintendoMaster2010. The backlash was even greater, as ToiletPranker had not been active for almost 6 years at the time. After the termination, ToiletPranker, under an alternate account, would leave a comment on IronYoshi's video calling out YouTube to explain where he as been in the past few years since he last signed on. Originally, he was unable to access his original account due to the fact that it was created at a time when users could create their channels without having to use a Google account, and as a result, he was locked out of access to it. He also stated that, being in his mid-30s, he lost interest in making videos, though he also did state that he still watches videos from the community every now and then. ToiletPranker does have all of his original videos saved, and plans to reupload them elsewhere so not as to risk another YouTube termination. On April 6, he joined VidLii and began to reupload there. His videos were also saved to the Internet Archive and some of them were uploaded to Tracle by RoboticBloxxer.
