The following is a list of promotional videos for Dr. Crafty, all released during its third season.


Crafty Direct! Season 3 Updates!

Air Date: 12/16/2018

Crafty updates the viewers on the production of Season 3. He reminisces on how far the show has come, brings up potential changes to the Patreon, advertises the show's merchandise, and takes time to introduce the show's third spin-off segment and its host: Crafty's Questionable Qloset, which is hosted exclusively by Crystelle. Everything goes swimmingly until a certain someone hijacks the footage...

Tropes Found in This Video:

  • Killed Off for Real: To symbolize Paladin Taim's permanent departure from the show, his zombie self is unceremoniously shot dead in the first minute of this update video. He's immediately replaced by Katy Johnson's zombie, who Crafty describes as an objectively better writer than her predecessor.

Crafty's Questionable Qloset Intro

Air Date: 2/1/2019

The Questionable Qloset's intro sequence was uploaded separately. Notably, this intro is animated in a different art style from the rest.

Tropes Found in This Video:

  • Art Shift: Much like how her spin-off segment's theme music was written by a different person from the rest, Crystelle's Questionable Qloset intro is animated by a a different person than Blue-Paint-Sea. Rather than be a Motion Comic, this intro is a full-blown animation, which uses tons of abstract patterns to represent Crystelle's psychic abilities.

Dr. Crafty! Trailer Terror!

Air Date: 12/24/2018

The Season 3 Crafty Crew comes together to explain the basic workings of Dr. Crafty and its spin-off segments for the YouTube channel's trailer.

Dr. Crafty! Megacon May 18th 2019 Announcement!

Air Date: 5/15/2019

Yet another disembodied voice appears to advertise Crafty's presence at the 2019 Megacon, this time with less comedic abuse and more old-timey film vibes.

Tropes Found in This Video:

  • Creator Cameo: The narrator announces Crafty's presence at the 2019 Megacon and explains that he'll be dressed up in a life-like, 3-D costume to mingle with the other con-goers. The costume is actually just Crafty's voice actor and the creator of Dr. Crafty, Alex Tansley, who even dons a costume just like Crafty's for the occasion.

Dr. Crafty Official Website OPEN!

Air Date: 8/20/2019

Crafty tells his story about how he decided to create the show's main website, which he urges viewers to visit as soon as possible.

Tropes Found in This Video:

  • Department of Redundancy Department: Crafty introduces himself by emphasizing his name repeatedly, to make sure that it is unambiguously him who is addressing the viewers.
    Crafty: Okay, let's do this one more time. My name is Doctor Crafty. I started a YouTube show called Dr. Crafty, and for the last two and a half years, I've been the one and only... Doctor Crafty.
  • Heartbreak and Ice Cream: When Crafty briefly mentions how his Fiona Frightening project flopped, there's a cut to a gloomy bathroom where he's sitting in the tub and gorging on ice cream to ease the pain. Apparently, it was during another session like this that he got the idea to make his own website.

Patreon Exclusive Merch Available NOW!

Air Date: 9/17/2019

Crafty saves some spacemen from being vacuumed into space the only way he knows how: with new Patreon merch!

Tropes Found in This Video:

  • No Sympathy: Crafty patches up the hole in the spacemen's station with a Dr. Crafty poster. It doesn't stay put; as soon as he finishes advertising his Patreon bonus products, Crafty removes the poster since the spacemen haven't donated to his Patreon, leaving them to be sucked out anyways.
