History YMMV / Cyriak

* NightmareFuel: Pick a Cyriak video at random.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toe-8ykTUT8 "The Spirit of Christmas".]] An utterly monstrous deer with insect-like legs breaks into a kid's room and gorily drills the kid's face with a Christmas tree. [[SchmuckBait It has to be seen to be believed]]. Say goodbye to your childhood-and quite possibly [[SanitySlippage your sanity]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuWTQtyKih4 "Cobwebs"]]. If you're an [[SpidersAreScary arachnophobe]], this video is ''definitely'' not for you. The most disturbing part is definitely the spiders with [[BodyHorror human body parts]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnWP2Emps1M "Malfunction"]]. An absolutely hideous creature with faces all over its body travels through 50's suburbia and corrupts it into a nightmarish mess with everything twisting and growing faces. To say it's disturbing doesn't even ''begin'' to cover it.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQD-N6gkCzQ Indigestion]]" is easily one of the most twisted animations Cyriak has ever made, taking the viewer through a [[BodyHorror flesh tunnel]] filled with many horrifying things such as crab-like creatures made of eyes and fingers and tongues with teeth forming all over the tunnel. The music serves to make the experience maddening.
** Cyriak's music video for Sparks' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLxPIOxgkM0 "Existential Threat"]], which is a song about a man [[AdultFear completely losing his mind over paranoid agoraphobia]]. Quite possibly the creepiest part would be the protagonist receiving some pills from a doctor who then suddenly morphs into a [[MonstrousHumanoid monstrous creature with a wide smile, syringes for hair and scalpels for fingers]]. The video never clarifies if this is actually happening or if the protagonist is hallucinating.
*** The entire video is full of typical {{Adult Fear}}s made manifest as crawling, horrific monsters. Unaffordable medication, infrastructure failure poisoning everyone, economic collapse, all of it ending with a nuclear war, the end of the world, and the ''heat death of the universe'' as the stars, including the Sun, all go supernova.

To say it's disturbing doesn't even ''[[{{Understatement}} begin]]'' to cover it.

* AnAesop: ‘7 Billion’, which uses humble rabbits (morphing, splitting and combining rabbits, no less) as an analogy as to how human populations can explode exponentially, leading to war, and then more overpopulation afterwards.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Cyriak is well known for the bizarreness of his videos. Subverted, though- WordOfGod says the strongest thing he does is tea, because "[[CloudCuckooLander his grip on sanity is perilous enough]]".

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnWP2Emps1M "Malfunction"]]. Oh sweet baby Jesus turning 50's suburbia into something Satan would dream when he eats too much cheese before bed, "Malfunction".

* EarWorm: Some of the theme music for his videos.
** The beat in "Meow Mix", "Welcome to Kitty City", and "Something".
** "Poo Pants". [[ToiletHumor "You've got a poo in your pants pants pants!"]]
** And "My Territory".
** The repeating rhythm in "7 Billion", especially once the piano kicks in again about a quarter of the way through.
** The song from "Chimpnology" also counts.

%%* CrazyAwesome: Cyriak himself.

** "Malfunction". Oh sweet baby Jesus turning 50's suburbia into something Satan would dream when he eats too much cheese before bed, "Malfunction".

** "Malfuntion". Oh sweet baby Jesus turning 50's suburbia into something Satan would dream when he eats too much cheese before bed, "Malfunction".

* HilariousInHindsight: One video on his channel is a recorded news story about him when he first started becoming famous. The reporter declares he has over "200,000" views on Youtube, a ridiculously high number for the relatively small site that Youtube was at the TurnOfTheMillenium. Nowadays in TheNewTens, viral videos that get on the news tend to have views going into the ''millions'', if not ''billions'' like Gangnam Style.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtcqXFZFiWo "Robogran"]]. A description would fail to do it justice.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtkd_mlhfRU In this video]], Cyriak is doing a livestream on how he animated one of his videos[[note]]the video in question is called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNwCojCJ3-Q MEOW]], by the way[[/note]], but After Effects crashes in the middle of the stream. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Cue Cyriak walking out onto the field, alongside three deformed Cyriaks, while wearing a silly smirk]].

* BrokenBase: Between those who find these videos curious, slightly delirious; and those who bring it more attention : those who find it artistically beautiful and moose and those who find it ugly and random.

* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: Someone had suggested that "[=BeastEnders=]" was, in fact:

-->'''Cyriak''': This film [[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dF2ZLq7oBk Poo Pants]]] is at its heart an exploration of both personal and cultural themes, exposing our exploitative relationship with our environment on a personal level and, by extension, as a society or species. The poo in this sense is a symbol of the by-products of our capitalist consumerism, with Alan Titchmarsh reflecting the role of the media; alerting us, ridiculing us, perhaps even judging us - the media becomes a collective conscience that binds us to our own environmental mortality. The refrain of Titchmarsh is answered by our inability as a global society to take a truly global responsibility; as we continue to poo at Paul's we are nevertheless reminded that the poo is in fact very much situated in our own pants. ...And if you made it through that bullshit then your prize is [[http://snipurl.com/s44u0 a link to download the poo-pants song.]]
