Stuart's (a.k.a. Working Man Games') current profile pic

Stuart K. Reilly is a very divisive retired YouTube Pooper from Louisiana who specialized in making poops with crazy visual effects and "ear rape", the process of suddenly blasting a video's audio to the point where it gets distorted.

Stu also created YouTube Poop News, a show where he talked about the current goings-on in YouTube Poops (and whatever else he wanted to talk about). Please put tropes from the news show on its page.

In June of 2018, he ended YouTube Poop News and retired from YouTube Poop, instead creating a new show called Workin' Man Games. He also has a minor voice role in the 2022 video game Stay Out of the House.


Stu's videos provide examples of:

  • Author Appeal: Stu is self admitted "Furry Trash." His actual devotion to the Furry Fandom might be hard to tell between his heavy dose of irony and humor... but his own coyote avatar and his O.C. Dixie the Bobcat certainly back up his furry centric jokes.
    • Video game tie-ins to animated cartoon series are another common subject in the "Workin' Man Games" series.
    • Stu's continued references to Sabrina Online didn't make it a total surprise when he revealed he was getting into the vintage computer scene in 2022 with the purchase of an Amiga computer.
  • Censor Box: the video game review on vintage X-rated games relies on careful crops and censor boxes to keep it You Tube friendly.
  • Dumb Blonde: Dixie is very much one.
  • Fate Worse than Death: poor video game design causes Stu to begin releasing highly detailed and specific curses upon the video game developer responsible for it, with strong Crosses the Line Twice humor as Stu rants about the type of things such as cacti and fire-ants that the developer's genitals should be exposed to in retaliation.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Frequent, but especially obvious in video game reviews focused on poorly designed point and click adventure games; or early 2000's isometric Game Boy Advance movie tie ins.
  • Half-Witted Hillbilly: Stu leans into his Louisiana accent to purposefully evoke this trope in his video game reviews, often also going on non-sequiturs about stereotypical Southern behaviors.
  • Nostalgia Filter: Averted. Stu was ready to praise Bonkers for his review on Bonker's video game tie-ins, but after re-watching the series to prepare for the video he admits it doesn't hold up as well as he remembered.
  • Mythology Gag: Sabrina the titular lead of Sabrina Online was a frequent character in Stu's poops. After transitioning to "Workin' Man Games" Sabrina continues to make appearances in Stu's videos from a brief gag in the Pokémon review and of course the obligatory Amiga games review.
    • The pacing of much of the humor in "Workin' Man Games" continues some You Tube Poop traditions, including moments of "ear rape" soundbites often spoofing poor audio in the games being reviewed.
  • Shout-Out: Dixie is a bobcat as a reference to Bonkers.
  • Surprisingly Improved Sequel: Invoked with his remakes of "The King Has A New Computer" and "What Is Spaghetti", respectively. The former was infamous for its badness, and was redid with extensive sentence mixing (the original used the creator talking instead), improved visuals, and better comedy. The latter was already a classic in the poop community, and received the same improvements as the aforementioned remake, along with a more modern style of editing.
  • Trolling Creator: Twilight Sparkle goes postal on Dash's rainbow ass. It isn't a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic poop.
