7A member of the YouTubePoop community since 2008, cs188, real name Corey Shuster, is a pooper who uses [[RefugeInAudacity vulgar]] humor and effects to [[AccidentalInnuendo please]] his fans. Notably, he brought along the rise of spliced-together words [=JoJ=], sus, faaf, or any variation of the two with his video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps-8QspaBug No One Needs Foundation Repair]]". His sources vary, and he occasionally [[ToiletHumor poops]] [[{{Pun}} himself]].
8
9Cs has started doing LetsPlay videos, which in turn provide more poop fodder for him. He also streams on his second channel.
10
11His [[https://www.youtube.com/user/cs188/videos?flow=grid&view=0 channel]] is located here and his [[https://www.youtube.com/user/cs188returns/videos?sort=dd&flow=grid&view=0&page=1 backup channel]] is here. For his let's plays and self-poops, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/cs188creations this]] is the channel to go to.
12----
13!!Just believe me, don't trope!
14* AffectionateParody: To Finger Eleven[[note]]a band he has said he likes[[/note]] in the video "Finger Eleven Sing About Their Sexual Fantasies" (since taken down), and to YouTubePoop reenactor [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UUNygrW9o-oJFCO2R6Abft8Q&feature=plcp RadicalFaith360]] in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDYhaxtTBXk The Chronicles of Rage-icalfaith360]]".
15* ApprovalOfGod: According to the comments, Domino's retweeted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT1pkdWHRQ8 Hungry and I Know It]], a remix of Music/{{LMFAO}}'s "Sexy and I Know It" and "Party Rock Anthem" turned into an ad for the chain.
16* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: From "President Evil 2: America Loses the Game": "This debate is sponsored by Satan, the number 666, and Ford".
17* AscendedMeme: [[https://www.youtube.com/user/cs188creations His non-YTP content]] was used a couple of times, [[SelfDeprecation even by cs188 himself]].
18* BaitAndSwitch: The kids in "IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE AT YOUR FINGERTITS" decide to search up the clit, and [[TheInternetIsForPorn they find...]] free screensavers!
19* BlatantLies: In "IT'S WWWIIINNNDDDOOOWWWSSS!!!", Steve Ballmer says "No one listens to Music/{{Weezer}} anymore!" while the video shows their Spotify page with 13 million monthly listeners, helpfully labeled "(no one)".
20* BodyHorror: Plenty of it, but "Gotye Knows Somebody That He Used" takes it up a notch, such as when his eyes are replaced with two copies of his mouth.
21* CallBack: ''Millions''.
22** Many of his videos will contain at least one reference to "No one needs foundation repair" by having characters say at least one of "[=HoH SiS=]", "[=JoJ=]", and/or "do it all over again".
23** PTC '80s Edition contains the "Billy Mays Fapping" clip from "Billy Mays Promotes Hardcore Drug Addiction".
24** "My Little Porno: Friendship With Benefits" has references in its ad break to "Steve Ballmer Sells Clean Windows" and "Windows Phone 7 Lets You Play With Your Dick More Often".
25** During the second Pooping the Charts, when Music/KatyPerry sings about shooting cum across the sky, a disembodied penis is seen doing that while passing by the flying sofa from the "Like a G6" segment of the same video.
26* {{Catchphrase}}: On his non-YTP videos: "Hey guys, CS here!"
27* CerebusRetcon: A dark twist is applied to the comparatively light "No One Needs Foundation Repair" in its subsequent poop, "Escape from HOH SIS", which reveals that the repair workers are aliens from the planet [=JoJ=] who were enslaved by [[EvilInc HoH SiS]] to get their precious [[{{Unobtainium}} JoJ.]]
28* ChristmasSpecial: "A Creator/MichaelRosen Christmas".
29* ClipShow: Subverted by "The Chronicles of Rage-icalfaith360", which takes [=Radicalfaith360=]'s remakes of his poops and poops them even further.
30** PlayedStraight by "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud92iieSfrs Pooping Myself]]", a compilation of his Self-[=YTP=]s on his alternate channel, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHLBaHuUong73gjaLcPpN9w cs188creations]].
31* CouchGag: In 2023, CS would start redoing his "Just believe me, don't watch!" introduction based on the respective video's primary source material rather than reusing the Bruno Mars mix all the time.
32* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: {{Lampshaded}} in the description of the video "Stu 'puts Angelica to sleep' at 4am", when said video has Billy Mays refer to [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} Angelica]] as Stu's daughter and not his niece.
33--> YES, I HAVE REALIZED ANGELICA IS NOT STU'S DAUGHTER. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO COMMENT ABOUT IT??
34* CreatorCameo: The opening of "Omaba's New World Order Acid Trip" features clips of CS sorting through various tapes.
35* {{Defictionalization}}: He was actually working on a [[https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?id=199610190059535&story_fbid=210926932342460 playable version]] of ''Billy Mays' Shitblaster'' (as seen in ''OMABA'S NEW WORLD ORDER ACID TRIP'') as a ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' mod.
36* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Whenever the primary source of a YTP is in black-and-white (such as in "Too much fiddling with the coffee"), any additional sources will be given a grayscale filter for the sake of visual consistency.
37* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: A recurring trope, such as this quote from "No one needs foundation repair":
38-->'''Guy with the cap:''' If I had to do it all over again, and had to take bids all over again, I would still do it all over again.
39* DiscreditedMeme: [[invoked]]
40** He knows when he's used a dead joke or [[OverusedRunningGag overdone a joke]], and will frequently lampshade it, such as the frequent appearances of the Scratch Doctor guy, and calling himself out for quoting his YTP videos during Let's Plays.
41** From IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE AT YOUR FINGERTITS: "Sauce!" "Ha ha, very funny."
42* DoNotCallMePaul: CS does not like it when people use his real name, and has implored his fans multiple times just to call him "CS".
43* DownerEnding: "A Creator/MichaelRosen {{Christmas|Special}}". [=TheKupoQueen=] refuses to be Michael's girlfriend for [[PaedoHunt rather obvious reasons]]. He then goes to bed, laments how sad he is, and then admits he actually hates Christmas. And it ends there.
44* DudeNotFunny: An in-universe example occurs when he [[ManipulativeEditing subtly edits the opening of]] [[Music/{{Queen}} "Don't Stop Me Now"]] to say that Freddie Mercury [[DrivenToSuicide plans to hang himself]].
45* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
46** The first few videos he uploaded weren't even poops. He has since deleted most of them, but left a few up.
47** His videos used to rely on repetition, giving characters the wrong voice clips, et cetera. These techniques were acceptable and even expected in 2010, but in later years became [[DiscreditedMeme so frowned upon]] that several of his old poops became unpopular.
48* FollowTheLeader: Countless other poopers have made reference to many of his {{running gag}}s, especially "[=HoH SiS=]", the "[=JoJ=]", and "do it all over again".
49* FreezeFrameBonus: A number of his YTP have little messages pop up from time to time. A literal one happens in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06Mcjvhl-ls EVERYTHING'S OUTTA CONTROL (PTC '80s Edition]] at 2:02 - the "Forever Alone" face quickly pops up.
50* FridgeLogic:[[invoked]] In-universe example in his poop of "Party Rock Anthem": "How can Party Rock be in the house if everybody's outside?"
51* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Near the end of the {{Music/Blur}} poop, the World Trade Center is visible in the background. [[spoiler:Guess what's seen [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror flying towards it]]?]]
52* TheGrinch: Creator/MichaelRosen, although [[MakeUpOrBreakUp he has a very good reason]].
53* GroinAttack: Music/{{Gotye}} speculates that Kimbra could get addicted to "a circumcision sadness".
54-->'''Gotye:''' But you didn't have to CUT IT OFF! ''*Kimbra swings meat cleaver at crotch level, blood splatters*'' [[HellIsThatNoise ...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!]]
55* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: After "Too much fiddling with the antenna", a Poop of a 1950s commercial for a television, almost any other Poop of old advertisements takes the format "Too much fiddling with the X".
56* ImAHumanitarian: Well, Paula Deen is, anyway.
57-->'''Paula Deen''': There are three ingredients: plain corn meal, [[MemeticMutation sauce]] and grandma.
58** "Gather the family round the table to eat the family!"
59** The Jell-O Pudding recipe:
60-->'''Paula:''' Mmm, the creamy smoothness of deceased family members!
61* InopportuneVoiceCracking: Mocked in "IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE AT YOUR FINGERTITS", where the actor playing Peter has a really bad one. cs188 edits a picture of a goose over him while slowing down the footage to let the joke sink in.
62-->sO let's get underway
63* InTheStyleOf: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buI_EY_wme8 Commercialism Up Your Chimneyhole!]]" is done in the style of Youtube Pooper Creator/{{noisepuppet}}, which CS admits to "shamelessly steal[ing]" in the description.
64* InherentlyFunnyWords: [=JoJ=] and [=FaaF=] show up regularly.
65* ImGoingToHellForThis: The description of "BE A FOOL ABOUT FIRE SAFETY" states: "I'm clearly going to hell, where there's gonna be a lot of FIRE!"
66* MissingEpisode: Several of his poops have been taken down, including:
67** A poop of "[[Music/TheBeatles A Hard Day's Night]]" was quickly relegated to [=cs188archives=], presumably due to copyright reasons.
68** "Pooping the Charts Vol. 3" was taken down very early in its life. However, it was mirrored on Dailymotion.
69** "No one needs foundation repair" and all the other [=HoH SiS=] videos were taken down after the company whose videos he used filed a privacy complaint.
70** "James B!unt Exposes His Beautiful Genitalia at a Sandwich Shop" was mirrored by a fan after a copyright claim.
71** "The Best Foundation Rape-Air", another poop of a foundation repair company's advertisements, was also taken down (likely due to similar reasons as "No one needs foundation repair"). However, it has been preserved on archive.org.
72** "Macklemore-or-less Pops Some Pills at the Gift Shop" and "Potty Rock Aneurysm" were both hit with copyright claims.
73** In February 2018, all of his videos using Creator/MichaelRosen were taken down due to a copyright claim (the same one that claimed all of Creator/{{chickenpika}}'s videos). This claim is most likely fraudulent and probably the work of a troll due to Michael Rosen's ApprovalOfGod for the [=YTP=]s of his videos. They have all been reuploaded by fans.
74* LighterAndSofter: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T69IS5VGBc STEVE BALLMER SELLS CLEAN WINDOWS]]" contains entirely work-safe jokes. Similarly, "Anthony Sullivan's Apocalypse Bulb" is ''supposed'' to be "cleaner" than his other videos...but on that poop we have the "Instamammogram" scene, and "Dooon't toouuuch kiiidsss..."
75* LoggingOntoTheFourthWall: Some time in 2013, someone finally registered [[http://cs188electricsex.com cs188electricsex.com]] (a website brought up in "DIY = (Don't) Do It Yourself") as an actual domain name. It redirects to the [=YouTube=] channel, but still.
76* MacGyvering: In "[[https://youtu.be/uBKdbbQBEJw Flextits Makes You Super Wet and Completely Dry]]", [[Advertising/FlexSeal Phil Swift]] mentions that he held a boat together with underwear and repaired it with half-and-half.
77* ManipulativeEditing: Pretty much a given, considering the area of expertise.
78* MondegreenGag:
79** In "BUTCHA GOTTA CALL NOW", he points out that it sounds more like Creator/BillyMays is saying "Ease Out Broken Bone Extractor" instead of "broken bulb".
80** In a Pooping the Charts episode, a distorted line by Music/KanyeWest in "E.T." almost sounds like he's actually saying "[=JoJ=]".
81** In "Incredibly Uncomfortable Discomfort", the lines "durable stitching" and "your comfort" are both played backwards, resulting in them being interpreted by CS as "eh, Schnitzelburg?" and "your fucker" respectively.
82* NocturnalEmission: In The Death of Eleanor Gravy, this happens to Father [=McKenzie=].
83* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer:
84** "Michael's Massive Farty Time", a [[SequelEpisode Sequel Poop]] to "Michael's Bathroom Fiasco", was conceived when CS heard Michael say "You can freeze a fart?" in one of the latter's science videos, as seen in [[https://youtu.be/fI78WDD7gdI?t=7m29s 7:29 of the 1-18-17 livestream]].
85** In "Pooping the Charts Vol. 5", during Katy Perry's "E.T.", Kanye West appears to sing "Getting stupid high straight out of the [=JoJ=]." The original lyric, "jars", sounds extremely similar to "[=JoJ=]", and CS follows this clip with a title card stating, "I didn't even edit that!".
86* NukeEm:
87** "The only solution noitulution noitulution is to let this crisis be used as an excuse to '''WIPE OUT CHINA.'''" *applause*
88** Music/{{PSY}} says that Korea could probably do this to America.
89--> '''PSY''': We are not unarmed. Korea got a bomb, baby, baby, US could become a target; YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'?
90** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLqMX8Ro-m0 PRESIDENTIAL ELIMINATION DAY]] [[CallBack brings back the previous joke:]]
91-->'''UsefulNotes/BarackObama:''' Governor Romney doesn't have a five-point plan, he has a one-point plan. And that plan is to WIPE OUT CHINA! *applause*
92* OurProductSucks: Occurs almost any time Cs poops an ad. For example, in "Too Much Fiddling With The Gearshift", Semen Bradley describes people switching to Chrysler as "making the biggest mistake."
93* OverusedRunningGag:
94** Twice towards the [=JoJ=] in one Obama YTP. The first time [[StylisticSuck involves exploiting every possible moment]] [[LampshadeHanging that the word can occur]]. The second? ''You will pass this JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO[[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope HN MADDEN! JOHN MADDEN! JOHN MADDEN! JOHN MADDEN!]]]] [[spoiler: The John Madden joke is a double-subversion - TheStinger unleashes the wrath of [=JoJ=] MADDEN!]]
95** Also lampshaded in the "Potty Rock Aneurysm" segment of a Pooping the Charts episode, which repeatedly uses the "Suck our cocks" vocal from another Music/{{LMFAO}} song.
96** As well as the frequent use of "But not really" in "Doug [=DeMuro=]'s Luxuriously Long Get-It-On"
97* ParentalIncest: Oh so much of it in "Shinedown Screams About Things On The Edge Of A Cliff". Hell, the second line ''celebrates'' it.
98* ReCut: In 2021, he re-mastered "Train derails and hits Justin Bieber" after the original was taken down, naming that new video "Train Derails (Deluxe "Re-Trimmed Chest" Edition)".
99* RecurringRiff:
100** The Music/ScissorSisters song "Filthy/Gorgeous" is his go-to in scenes calling for porny music (such as the "Handy Jack-It Switch" scene from "Billyception"). Specifically, the "''NASTY~''" falsetto that Jake Shears sings during the chorus.
101** He also uses the ''Series/AlfredHitchcockPresents'' theme a lot, particularly on scenes of people going back and forth in and out of something. The UrExample from "No one needs foundation repair" pretty much made it the {{leitmotif}} for [=HoH SiS=].
102** Meanwhile, his stock sad music, heard most prominently in "Escape from [=HoH SiS=]", is "The Way Out" by Chamber of Echoes.
103* RefugeInAudacity: Occurs in every poop of his. Usually in the form of bodily functions or genitalia.
104* {{Rimshot}}: Appears in "Mario and Luigi's Strip Club Adventure", where Luigi slips and falls in the bathroom of the aforementioned strip club and Billy Mays says, "Uh oh, looks like [[ToiletHumor urine trouble]]!".
105* RunningGag: Many over the many poops. Among them:
106** "[=JoJ=]" "sus", and "faaf" and their related variants.
107** Multiple poops make references to ejaculation into eyes.
108** '''UsefulNotes/BarackObama:''' ...wipe out China. '''*applause*'''
109** The price of things being "Ninety-ninety-ninety-ninety-ninety-nine".
110** Since his 2016 return, he's been using the Scratch Doctor commercial guy who says "Nice Car" and "Not so Nice Scratch".
111** In his self-YTPS, anytime a "see" sound comes up, it'll turn into "Cs here", i.e, "As you can plainly Cs, here!"
112** People declaring/revealing themselves to be entirely different people during political debates.
113--> '''Lester Holt''': I'm [[Franchise/TheAddamsFamily Uncle Fester]].
114** Since a poop of "[[Music/BrunoMars Uptown Funk]]", the "Parental Assvisory: Toilet Content" bumper and sentence-mixed "[[SelfDeprecation Just believe me, don't watch!]]" from said poop has been used as an intro. Since 2023, this intro has now been sentence-mixed from the sources used in the poop itself, rather than use the "Uptown Funk" sample, and later, variations after the "just believe me" part.
115** Doug [=DeMuro=] saying "'''''THIS'''''" has popped up as a gag in other recent poops.
116* ScrewedByTheLawyers: In the comment section of his "Sir Mix-a-Lot Shakes Out a Turbo Turd" video, CS opens up on why he rarely makes musical poops nowadays:
117--> Many people are saying this video is not available for them. That's because it was copyright claimed, and therefore can't be watched on certain devices. Just watch it on your computer, if you can. :) FYI this is also why I rarely make music video [=YTPs=] anymore - every time I do, BS like this happens. As fun as it is to make music video poops, it's hardly worth my time or effort anymore when Youtube copyright policy sucks this much.
118* SelfDeprecation:
119** OMABA'S NEW WORLD ORDER ACID TRIP sentence mixes Obama to make a TakeThat towards [=YouTube=] Poopers who seem to hold him in high regard and tear himself down at the same time. It's hard to tell if he's playing around or not. The next Obama poop attacks Youtube itself for its flaws.
120** This happens constantly in his LPYTP videos, where he himself is the victim of his pooping.
121** In-universe, Hillary Clinton would rather vote for Bernie Sanders than win the election herself.
122** Subverted in "Bruno's Uptown Rectal Cleaning Sing-Along PSA", where after sentence-mixing Music/BrunoMars to say "This song sucks", he puts up a caption reading "Not the opinion of [=cs188=]."
123* ShoutOut:
124** An avatar of [[WebAnimation/DaThings Ellie]] appears in "INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE DISCOMFORT" to say "Please be sure you include multiple word reversal jokes in this, thanks!"
125*** "PRESIDENT EVIL 2: AMERICA LOSES THE GAME" also has [=DaThings'=] avatar show up again as UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump declares they also had the mammoths; said word is one of Ellie's jokes employed in their latest videos.
126** Creator/{{noisepuppet}}'s "toot" RunningGag is referenced in "Advertisements up Your Ads-Hole", "President Evil 2: America Loses the Game", "Drug [=DeMuro's=] Bonkers Backseat Bonanza", and "OUTIE INNIE OUCHIE".
127** Sometimes, a song not used as a RunningGag is referenced through sentence mixing, such as "Break Stuff" by Music/LimpBizkit, or "This Fire" by Music/FranzFerdinand, both in "WELCOME TO SUCKSVILLE, U.S.A."
128* SincerityMode: In February 2014, he posted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R33nPI1VK5g&t=0s a non-poop video]] asking viewers to stop making prank calls to Home Savers Foundation, the company whose video he used to make "No one needs foundation repair".
129* SleeperHit: "No one needs foundation repair" was only meant to be a one-off filler, but it has become one of his most famous poops, with several sequels and spin-offs. After he took down every poop using that source due to a privacy complaint, others quickly re-uploaded them. It has also spawned legions of imitators, and countless {{Shout Out}}s referencing [=HoH SiS=], the [=JoJ=], and/or the phrase "do it all over again."
130* StealthPun:
131** "I sent and Internet and jizzed in traditional ways" has the name Sussex show up. One commenter pointed out that "sus" and sex happen to be two common elements in his poops.
132** "President Evil 2: America Loses the Game" has Donald Trump say "NOPE. I'm doing my laundry", and the camera pans out to show a washing machine that has suddenly aappeared on the debate floor. If you look closely at the machine, you'll notice that [[spoiler:he's laundering money]].
133* TheStinger: Usually to squeeze in a last-minute joke.
134* SymbolSwearing: Renders the "i" in "shit" with an exclamation mark.
135* TakeThat: Quite often.
136** Especially to Music/{{Nickelback}}.
137-->'''Chad Kroeger:''' ''People wonder everywhere\
138Why don't we just go away?''
139** Also averted (or maybe played straight, just equal-opportunity) in "THE UNUNITED STATES OF HYSTERIA" where he gives a disclaimer that no offense/political stance is meant, and that the YTP is purely for comedic purposes.
140** Subverted with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcMAoi0-Je8 Paula Peen Consumes Family Members on the FooF Network]]". While there are some jokes at Paula Deen's expense, [=cs188=] doesn't have any beef with her.
141* ThinkOfTheCensors: [[https://youtu.be/_lFUbTZiHjY "[YTP] OUTIE INNIE OUCHIE"]] has the female narrator say "We're really trying to monetize" when the male narrator brings up sexual topics.
142* ToadLicking: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] in Pooping the Charts Vol. 7: Why Can't I Think Of A Title?, which makes fun of Music/JustinBieber's "Mistletoe" by rearranging the lyrics to proclaim he was "gonna get so high, eating toads."
143* TrademarkFavoriteFood:
144-->'''Hillary Clinton:''' I want us to invest in nachos. Them nachos are good!
145* ToiletHumor: Another reoccurring trait in his videos. The most prominent example being [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVoMubR4N0w "Bruno's Uptown Rectal Cleansing Sing-along PSA"]], in which "Bruno & Mark Swanson offer tips to funk up your daily dumping ritual".
146* VacuumMouth: Gotye does this, inhaling [[spoiler:A sneaker, a Whopper, and finally Planet Earth]].
147** Also appears in "Pooping The Charts Vol. 7 - Why Can't I Think of a Title?" with Bruno Mars sucking up [[spoiler: Celery, corn, a watch, Caillou, and a [[VisualPun Mars bar.]]]]
148** Appears yet again in "Train Derails (Deluxe Re-Trimmed Chest Edition)", where Train singer Pat Monahan uses his mouth to [[spoiler:suck up a bunch of Oreos.]]
149* VisualPun: These will occur all over the place to emphasize a joke or to clarify sentence-mixing that may be prone to {{Mondegreen Gag}}s.
150* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: He took down "No one needs foundation repair" and "Escape from [=HoH SiS=]", because both used an advertisement from a foundation repair company in Texas who filed a complaint against him on Platform/YouTube. After taking them down, he put up [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSmcJO9sTrw a video explaining]] why they were taken down, and asked that anyone else using that company's ads for a source do likewise. But ''three years'' later, after receiving a call from one of the employees saying that someone had prank-called the company, he put up ''another'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R33nPI1VK5g video]] asking people not to do that. This issue is now null, however, as the company went out of business in 2016.
151* WordSaladLyrics:
152** A reversed line from "Lighters" by Bruno Mars and Bad Meets Evil is captioned as "arrwzyfrrzynhezzi".
