Web Video: Youtube News

Youtube News is a News Parody by the same people of Stupid Mario Brothers Channel Richalvarez. It usually talks of upcoming films, games or other random subjects.

The cast is made up of Richard the anchor, Matt the co-anchor, Chris the weatherman and Dane/Julian for other reports. Doug was also in there for sports but he left.

This series has examples of

Acting for Two: Matt plays both himself and the Random Bum
Aside Glance: Pulled a lot.
Beware the Nice Ones: See Talking To Themself below.
BLAM Episode
Butt Monkey: Chris. For a celebrity example, Michael Bay.
Couch Gag: Matt's constant pun names, Richard's time and location jokes, Richard's hatred of the weather report and the Random Bum's thought of *topic of conversation* SUCKS.
Covers Always Lie: The title and icon for "The End of Youtube News" suggested it was the final episode. It isn't, it just shows what happens after an episode ends.
Election Night: How it actually got started, Wario and Mario were both running for President of the Mushroom Kingdom as part of a Non-canon cross over with Stupid Mario Brothers. Ash Ketchum wins despite not even campaigning.
Halloween Episode: In which Dane interviews Alex DeLarge and gets "killed" by Michael Myers. The Tag showed they were still alive and are having tea with each other.
Hot Scoop: Most reports get treated as such
Jerkass: Richard, especially to Weatherman Chris.
Massive Multiplayer Crossover: with Stupid Mario Brothers The Movie Act I.
