THIS VIDEO CONTAINS X

About

THIS VIDEO CONTAINS X refers to one of the earliest, or the first, style of YTPMVs which began in the first half of 2008.

Origin

According to Fadwiki^[1], this fad began with “THIS VIDEO CONTAINS WIN” which was a video created by a Swedish YouTube Pooper McMaNGOS^[2] who is known as one of the originators of YTPMV phenomenon. This video consisted of a static image of Dr. Robotnik from The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog with a clip of Robotnik saying “Pingas!”, sequenced to the song Gourmet Race from the game Kirby Super Star.

Though the original video which was first uploaded on May 4th, 2008 was deleted later. There are many reprints complemented by other YouTube poopers.

The video conformed to the pre-existing PINGAS meme in YouTube Poops and Kirby’s Gourmet Race Remixes, a MAD video fad imported from Nico Nico Douga at the begining of that year.

However, Chewiki notes that it is highly regarded as the first YouTube Poop Music Video (YTPMV).^[3]

Spread

The style of this video soon became being mimicked by many other YouTube poopers, and they entitle their videos like “THIS VIDEO CONTAINS X”. There are hundreds of videos in this YTPMV series on YouTube.^[4]
