YouTube Poop Music Videos, also known as YTPMV, are musical remixes that chop clips from cartoons, movies and TV ads into rhythmic patterns matched to a chosen song. The format started on October 21, 2007 with Vorhias uploading a Super Mario World edit set to an original composition. By the mid-2010s, songs like 'All Star' and 'We Are Number One' became repeated vehicles for the format.

Overview

Each YTPMV takes short samples of dialogue, sound effects or music from a source clip and resequences them to hit the beats of a chosen track1. Editors tune the pitch of each sample so that spoken syllables match the song's melody, a technique called the Lyrical formula3. The result looks like a character performing a cover, even though every sound was already present in the source footage.

Source material skews toward Nintendo cartoons, Adult Swim programming and public access oddities, which gives the YTPMV genre its distinctive mix of children's TV art and chopped-up delivery2. Community activities include Soccers, where editors trade one-second musical hits across a shared beat, and collaboration videos that split a single track across multiple remixers who each handle a verse or chorus3.

User Vorhias uploaded 'YTPMV: You Are An Egghead' to YouTube on October 21, 2007, pairing clips from the Super Mario World animated series with an original composition1. The video is credited as the earliest example to carry the YTPMV label and was later cited as the starting point when the genre was documented on Know Your Meme3.

How It Spread

On January 19, 2008, YouTube user MrRoboto113 posted a remix made from Dr. Octogonapus clips set to Sugar Ray's 'Someday', which collected over 2 million views2. EnigmaEvocative followed on May 28, 2010 with an edit splicing the Trololo singer Eduard Khil into the Rainbow Tylenol commercial, reaching over 3 million views4.

In the mid-late 2010s, specific songs became magnets for the YTPMV format. 'We Are Number One' from LazyTown drew hundreds of editors who matched characters from unrelated shows to the vocal line5. Smash Mouth's 'All Star' generated similar remix chains, and 'You Reposted In The Wrong Neighborhood' also entered rotation as a backing track6. These waves kept the format active well into the decade without a central platform beyond YouTube itself3.
