6	[[https://www.youtube.com/user/ricesnot Ricesnot]] is a British [[YouTubePoop Youtube Pooper]] who is best known for his videos about [[DemBones skeletons]]. He has stated that he wants to create 100 bone videos. He mostly makes [=YTPMVs=] and episodes of a series about the wacky adventures of [[ADogNamedDog a skeleton named Bones]] and his friend [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep Therapist]]. His most used source is a commercial for an 80's board game called Rattle Me Bones, which has attained MemeticMutation status, in part thanks to his efforts.

8	!!Ricesnot's videos provide examples of:
9
10	* AliensStealCattle: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to3aEmaDvuc episode 5, "Space Cow Fight"]], features this. The alien, whose name is Galrog also abducts Bones and Therapist.
11	* AmbulanceCut: Or Courtroom Cut, rather. "haunting bones" has Bones, acting as Therapist's ghostly wingman for a date, advise him to show Nancy his butt. The scene immediately cuts to Bones and Therapist in front of a judge, who declares him a "dangerous buttfiend" and sends him to jail.
12	* AnalProbing: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to3aEmaDvuc episode 5, "Space Cow Fight"]],Galrog wants to do this to the most intelligent between Bones and Therapist.
13	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yyiiot4RGEk S2E1]] has Galrog trick the entire police force into probing themselves.
14	-->'''Galrog:''' "just jam something up there it works I swear"
15	* AnimationBump: In the silliest way possible. With the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yyiiot4RGEk first episode of Season 2]], "These are the Mysteries" has an intro now. With actual original artwork at points!
16	* AssShove: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG7_89fyaVQ&list=UUXLTJY0lobR124elASvxojg episode 6, "A Season Ends"]], Galrog's henchman comes not to bust him out of jail, but to [[spoiler:deliver an anal probe he smuggled in his ass]].
17	** Also how [[spoiler:Galrog]] defeats [[Music/SiIvaGunner The Ripper]] in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM7GIeCmvFQ Season 2's sixth episode]]
18	* BerserkButton:
19	** Do NOT rip off ''Rattle Me Bones'' or use its name as a sexual innuendo. In the best case, Bones will sue your ass off. In the worst, he'll ''murder you''.
20	---> '''Bones:''' the blood will flow like rivers
21	** Therapist loathes trick-or-treaters, viewing them as "fake bones". {{Halloween Episode}}s tend to show him unleashing [[SerialEscalation more and more over-the-top revenge]] on the "lying children".
22	* BlackComedyRape: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v4cJKlMM6I "Violated Bones"]], Bones gets raped by a man who is singing the Ding Dong Song. His counseling therapist becomes one of the main characters of the series.
23	* CerebusSyndrome: The videos are still comedic, but with the start of the "These are the Mysteries" series, there's now an actual plot (of sorts).
24	* {{Crossover}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMS0vNrkRgQ "bones III"]] has a Bones-i-fied version of the ''Franchise/{{Lupin III}}'' theme.
25	* CallingYourBathroomBreaks: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh6s8tvD2tA "bones takes a dump"]].
26	-->'''Bones:''' "there's something I have to do. something I should have done a '''long time''' ago"
27	* ChristmasEpisode: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF89rBNyaTc "A Very Ricesnot Christmas"]] retells the story of the birth of UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} with copies of Therapist as TheThreeWiseMen and a 3D render of a baby playing a guitar as Jesus.
28	-->'''Wise Men:''' "incredible. not even a day old and already shredding like a pro"
29	* CoincidentalBroadcast: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHaNAzT5TZk "therapist's adventure"]] there just so happens to be a show on to help Therapist [[spoiler: dispose of Bones' bones.]]
30	-->'''Therapist:''' "tv will know how"
31	* DemBones: Bones, obviously.
32	* DisproportionateRetribution: In response to the eurobeat and the street race outside, "Tokyo" [[spoiler:blows up all of the racers but Bones with a RPG-7. Bones avoids this fate by turning off his radio]].
33	* TheFaceless: Ricesnot himself only communicates through text, not audio, and while he appears from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2OJNRgLH6w "BONES DAY OUT"]] onwards in person, it's always in cosplay as Bones.
34	* FanDisservice: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW6AXNLFPOI episode 7, "Season Special One"]], Bones decides to end the season with a photoshoot of hot ladies, and then reveals that the hot ladies are [[spoiler: he and Therapist]].

38	-->'''Therapist:''' "bones was being a total dick about it. but I managed to 'persuade' him"
39	-->[Cut to Bones with a huge strawberry ice cream cone.]
40	-->'''Bones:''' "'''''we'll take the case'''''"
41	* FountainOfYouth: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mq43TqfUGM "Baby Bones"]], Bones and Therapist are turned into babies. How this happens is left unexplained, but Bones says it's to [[MilestoneCelebration celebrate the channel's one-year anniversary]].
42	-->'''Bones:''' "today, we are babies"
43	-->'''Therapist:''' "bones, what is this. why am I a babychild"
44	* GhostPirate: Rattle Me Bones is a skeletal pirate.
45	* GirlsHaveCooties: In Episode 4 of ''These Are The Mysteries'', [[NoirEpisode "The Dame (or The Broad")]], Bones tries to refuse Nancy entry to the Mystery Wagon as it has a "no girls allowed" policy.
46	-->'''Bones:''' "It would be an honor to help you. but I'm afraid the mystery wagon operates under a 'no girls allowed' policy. please submit your request via e-mail"
47	* HalloweenEpisode: A Halloween special has come out every year since 2012 (notably making these videos the only exception to the frequent ScheduleSlip the channel suffers from). These episodes are all titled "ricesnot's [helpful] halloween [document]" (with the words in brackets being [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeTitles replaced by a different synonym]] for each one), and they mostly revolve around Therapist's hatred of "fake bones" and "lying children" (i.e. trick-or-treaters) and his attempts at stopping them from visiting his house.
48	* HoneyTrap: In the NoirEpisode "The Dame (or Broad)", [[spoiler:Nancy turns out to be a ''literal'' honey trap, not only seducing Therapist, but then getting him stuck in a puddle of honey so he can't escape]].
49	-->'''Detective:''' "see, you're stuck"
50	* MediumAwareness: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQOi5ahPFJc 2x05, "Truly Stackless"]], Bones, who has become depressed after running out of money, is so ashamed of himself that he starts playing {{Eurobeat}} songs in hopes that the episode will be taken down by a copyright claim.
51	--> '''Therapist:''' What? no, he wants this vid flagged for copyright so nobody can see him like this.
52	* MediumBlending: Some videos, like "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F0_54OvJmE Ricesnot's Indispensable Halloween Instruction,]]" feature Ricesnot himself as Bones in live-action segments.
53	* NoirEpisode: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uufhN0V3Zsw episode 4, "The Dame (or The Broad)"]] is Noir-themed, with a jazz soundtrack, and a DeliberatelyMonochrome FramingDevice of Therapist as a HardboiledDetective delivering a PrivateEyeMonologue.
54	-->'''Therapist:''' "It started the way all tragedies do. with a dame. or a broad. both convey the same meaning"
55	* OnlySaneMan: The police cop's [[IronicName Angry Cop]] is also often the only one who realizes just how absurd their {{Zany Scheme}}s to catch Bones and Therapist are.
56	-->'''Angry Cop:''' "this is a grave misuse of police resources"
57	* OverlyLongGag: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmjzhpthPfM "Several bones"]] is a loop of a skeleton dancing to a loop from "Devil's Den" by Music/{{Skrillex}} for 8 minutes.
58	* PottyEmergency: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh6s8tvD2tA Bones Takes a Dump]]". You'd expect that a skeleton wouldn't need to go to the bathroom, but Bones has to run to the bathroom in the middle of a ''Rattle Me Bones'' commercial shoot. The results are destructive:
59	-->'''Bones:''' "I '''shat out every one''' of my '''bones'''"
60	* RunningGag: In the Ricestreams, two things are a frequent source of jokes: Ricesnot's obsession with [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Viennetta]], and a sound clip in his library called "[[ToiletHumor shart.mp3]]".
61	* {{Sampling}}: His cover of ''[[{{VideoGame/Undertale}} Bonetrousle]]'' uses ''his own videos'' as a source.
62	* ScheduleSlip: While there wasn't really one to begin with, the gap of time between episodes 6 and 7 of These are the Mysteries spanned from September 17th, to June 18th the ''following year''. It's even referenced in episode 7, "Season Special One".
63	-->'''Bones:''' "But you'll be gone for ''months''. No one should have to wait ''months'' for new mysteries"
64	* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Therapist believes so, besides frequently employing GoodOldFisticuffs.
65	-->'''Therapist:''' "bones, I don't have mad marksmanship skills that's why I use a shotgun"
66	* ShoutOut: [[VideoGame/PuyoPuyo Oshare Bones]] appears in several videos, such as "rattle oshare bones," and "bones III".
67	** In "Bones Crazy Coaster", the plot of Bones spending all his money on building the world's longest rollercoaster homages [[MemeticMutation Mr. Bones' Wild Ride]].
68	** [[{{VideoGame/Undertale}} Sans and Papyrus]] cameo in "ricesnot's indespensable halloween instruction" and "Ricesnot's Convention Hijinks 2". Ricesnot also made a remix of "Bonetrousle," Papyrus' [[spoiler: battle]] theme.
69	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMS0vNrkRgQ "bones iii"]] is one long homage to ''{{Franchise/Lupin III}}''.
70	** [[{{Main/Electroswing}} Parov Stelar's]] "Catgroove" shows up in "bones iii", and he's also made a remix of "リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュ" by [[{{Main/Vaporwave}} MACINTOSH PLUS]].
71	** The sixth episode of Season 2 of ''These are the Mysteries'' has "The Ripper", a [[spoiler:[[Music/SiIvaGunner sculpture]]]] [[Music/SiIvaGunner that murders high quality video game soundtracks]].
72	* SkeletalMusician: Skelex, an obvious expy of Skrillex. There's also the trumpeter pirates from the Rattle Me Bones commercial.
73	* SmashCut: In "haunting bones", Bones gives Therapist advice on his date. The second tip he gives is to show his butt. The very next scene? Bones and Therapist in court, being sued for sexual harassment.
74	* StandardSnippet: When the music used isn't from a video game or a show, it's all stock tunes. Some are used more effectively than others, but all of it sets the tone well.
75	* StylisticSuck: Every image used in the videos is from some form of stock image poorly edited to have no background (or sometimes not at all), with their watermarks clearly visible even when they could have been easily edited out. The animation done with them is all simple tweens and is very intentionally shoddy as a result.
76	** After the original "bones iii" video was taken down for its use of the ''{{Franchise/Lupin III}}'' theme, the remastered version features a live-action version of Ricesnot playing the theme badly on a trumpet.
77	* SuicideAsComedy: In "therapist's adventure" Bones [[spoiler: shoots himself in the face with a shotgun.]]
78	-->'''Bones:''' "we could play ''''eat the gun''''"
79	-->'''Therapist:''' "but"
80	-->'''Bones:''' "i'll go first"
81	-->'''Therapist:''' "wait" [[spoiler: Bang.]]
82	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The Ricestreams revealed that Ricesnot has a thing for Viennetta, an ice cream dessert. He also has an obsession with hot dogs.
83	* {{Troll}}: Ricesnot periodically uploads videos of himself (such as "ricescribble" and "bones invades peaceful art realm") going into roleplay boards on iscribble and filling them with drawings of hot dogs and bones.
84	* VoiceClipSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTykr8rqwFM "sexy bones (found in local store)"]] uses various and sundry bones-related clips to recreate "Sexy Boy" by AIR.
85	* WeirdnessCensor: In episode 7, "Season Special One", Officer Frank scans a piece of luggage with Bones hidden inside it.
86	-->'''Bones:''' "suitcases have skeletons"
87	-->'''Officer Frank:''' "oh OK"
88
89	* WouldHurtAChild: Therapist isn't above threatening children with a shotgun and/or his fists if they come to his doorstep on Halloween while dressed as fake skeletons.
90	-->'''Therapist:''' "A shotgun is an effective way to deter children"
