8 | '''[[https://www.youtube.com/sacredcowshipyards Sacred Cow Shipyards]]''' is a web series on Website/YouTube created in 2020 by a currently unknown and somewhat snarky entity. The channel purports to offer "a serious, quasi-historical, (mostly) sober look at some of the most famous ships, vessels, installations, and other such things from science fiction and science-fiction-adjacent content". Once you get past the UnreliableNarrator concerning the "The Dockmaster"'s origins and the current FramingDevice of an AIIsACrapshoot-tending-towards-SpitefulAI looking in on "humies'" science fiction offerings, the channel is AnalysisChannel that tries to look at whether or not individual ships and other mechanical systems make sense primarily in-universe, but also as a (supposedly) objective, external observer. |

14 | * ActionHoggingOpening: While the rest of the video will probably consist of still images, an occasional intro is used that actually depicts the Shipyards' [[OminousCube Cubifier in action]]. |
15 | * AnalysisChannel: The channel's apparent entire existence is to kibitz about anything and everything the Dockmaster finds annoying in science fiction stories. |
16 | * ExtremelyShortIntroSequence: Some of the episode intros are only a few seconds long. |
17 | * HatesEveryoneEqually: No race of organics will not be referred to as "squishies" and no squishy shall escape his disdain. |
18 | * OminousCube: No one really knows what the Dockmaster does with all those cubes, but a lot of people sure do keep asking. |
19 | * {{Worldbuilding}}: The Dockmaster has made repeated references to the Shipyards themselves that are inherently contradictory, but one can be fairly certain he has a collection of KillerRobot AIs at least visiting the station occasionally, including [=GLaDOS=] and [=HAL9000=]. |
20 | * WhatMeasureIsANonSuper: Just to drive home the point, suffice to say the Dockmaster has a... pretty low opinion of "humies". |
