History Creator / DaThings1

* ButtMonkey: The poor, poor workers, as seen in the "Wow! It's Made!" series. A very explicit purpose is made to horrifically mangle them, in increasingly absurd methods.

* {{Portmanteau}}: ''Wow! I'm Hungry!'' has quite a few, including 'thiquid' (thick + liquid), 'caplicator' (cap + applicator), and 'beereal' (beer + cereal).

* RunningGag: [[DiscreditedMeme "Memes used to be funny"]]

* WouldHurtAChild: Jeff, a contestant in ''Sweepermarket Soup'', is heavily implied to be this--you don't want to hear "gore section" and "babies" in the same sentence. The commentator [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out]].

* OverusedRunningGag: "Sus" jokes; i.e., taking the first half of a word and then reversing it. It can get very tiresome if that's not your thing.

* AllThereInTheManual: [[http://akriloth2160.deviantart.com/#/d483mow One viewer came up with an endorsed plot summary of the events in "Sweeney Todd Completes His Arm", which not only connects the jokes together in a fairly nonsensical plot, but expands on a few of the jokes.]]. This was inspired by a similar moment when another viewer had done the same thing with "[[Disney/TheLionKing The LOL King]]".

(Oh, and she [[http://ducttoast.deviantart.com/art/Forever-Alone-Vector-Original-362043008 also created the vector]] for [[Webcomic/RageComics Forever Alone Guy]].)

* DeadpanSnarker: Tends to slip into this when dealing with some of his more...unsavory commenters.

* DisproportionateRetribution: In his ''Les Miserables'' YTP, Jajvert kills Joj Valjeaj for stealing bread. Is that better or worse than in the book? (where Valjean was imprisoned for 17 years instead.)

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His early poops were more vulgar before she decided to pursue a more "family friendly" style.

* SelfImposedChallenge: [=DaThings=] tries to avoid vulgarities in his videos, which presumably allows her to reach a wider audience.

* GayOption: In ''Date Mystery'', there is a chance that the player's Mystery Date will be a {{bifauxnen}}. [[BiTheWay Not that the girls in the commercial seem to mind it]].

* VisualPun: Many. Some examples are a hay bale and a weight appearing when Simba says "Hey! Wait!" in ''The Lol King'', and [[Series/GameOfThrones Bran]] being pushed out of a window when the workers 'remove bran' in ''Wow! I'm Hungry!''.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His early poops were more vulgar before he decided to pursue a more "family friendly" style.

* {{Irony}}: On June 20, 2016, he uploaded a non-poop video where he announced a new let's play channel named ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIAW8wTAPqU Waffle Tots]]''. A lesser known pooper named Creator/{{Trinzilla}} then made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEuFb-Mn45M poop out of the video.]]

* SelfImposedChallenge: [=DaThings=] tries to avoid vulgarities in his videos, which presumably allows him to reach a wider audience.
* ShoutOut: He makes frequent reference to Creator/{{Cs188}}, particularly by inserting references to CS' {{Running Gag}}s of "[=HoH SiS=]" and "joj".

[[https://www.youtube.com/user/DaThings1/ DaThings]] is a WebAnimation/YouTubePoop maker who made a name for himself with his music video poops ([[ItMakesSenseInContext the literal music videos]], not [[AwesomeMusic/YouTubePoop YTPMVs]]). He has since included other media, including ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and movies into the mix, whilst avoiding endless repetition of "classic" sources. He often ([[NotSoAboveItAll but not always]]) uses clean humor, in stark contrast to other poopers such as Creator/{{CS188}} or Creator/{{Deepercutt}}.

!!Tropes Associated with [=DaThings1=]'s content:

* CaptainObvious: You will find this [[RunningGag oh-so-many times]] in [=DaThings1'=]s poops.

** "The Sharkshank Redaction" is originally a Youtube Poop about sharks, but halfway through, Rog takes over [=Dathings1=] (as he says in the video), and the rest of the video is about Rog.

On April 23, 2018, he uploaded the inaugural episode of a new comedic review series called [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHtfUcxdUNSOl7IdWKBoUaw Luke At This]].

* TropesAreNotGood: He's attracted some criticism over how his videos lack in [[VulgarHumor mature humor]].

** "Cinnamon Bunglasses at Night" simialrly switches from a poop of the "Sunglasses at Night" song to a craft video of someone making cinnamon bun-shaped soap.

* ArcNumber: 34 in ''[[TheLordOfTheRings Lord Of Da Things]]''.

** In the "Wow! It's Made!" saga, there appears to be a running gag about workers dying on the job.

In March 2016, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrQDwb4JG2o Dathings1 announced his channel would go on indefinite hiatus]], but he soon broke the hiatus and uploaded a few videos afterward.

* {{Troll}}: In ''Will Wonk and the Chalk Factory'', Grandpa Joj gives Charlie an empty package as a birthday present. He then shows him that he has a chocolate bar hidden under his pillow, but doesn't let him open it.
