About

Flashgitz is a YouTube channel focusing on animation run by two animators, Donald "Don" Jeremy Greger (from America) and Thomas "Tom" Edgar Hinchliffe (from England). They are known for their high-quality animations, which are usually satirical in nature, covering many topics from gaming to console fandoms, politics, and celebrities.

Origins

Their first YouTube video was an animation satirizing the tabletop game company GamesWorkshop and their habits (which are seen as anti-consumer). They would create and post more videos later, but their first video that truly managed to go viral was Racist Mario, a Mario Kart parody where Mario gets angry about non-Nintendo characters being allowed to participate in the race and then proceeds to kill all of them, including the Nintendo characters for being “race traitors.” It currently holds 163 million views. For the first years, the channel only uploaded videos in a short format and only covered a single topic at once, but in later years, longer videos would start to be uploaded that covered more than one topic, and soon regular series would be developed too.
