History Trivia / SiIvaGunner

* BuryYourArt: [=SiIvaGunner=] had [[https://lostmediawiki.com/SiIvaGunner_(partially_lost_removed_parody_music_videos_from_YouTube_channel;_2016-present) a large number of rips]] removed over the years. While some were taken down due to violating Website/YouTube's policies, the following were taken down by the team themselves:

** Nicopatty, creator of and composer for ''VideoGame/NicosNextbots'', is also the composer of the rip "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN_PZD6F8L4 delta lobby (ost version)]]," along with both rips from the ''VideoGame/{{Roblox}}'' event that use the ''NN'' OST as the joke.

** The King for a Day tournaments have inspired multiple clones and similar tournaments on Soundcloud, which follow a similar structure to King for Another Day. Examples include ''WebOriginal/MashupWeek, Temporary Flight Attendent, Third World Tournament,'' ''[[SelfDeprecation Another Unnecessary Tournament]]'' and ''PRIZM''

* IKnewIt: Quite a few people predicted the ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' takeover during the 2020 ''[=SiIvaSummer=] All-Star Festival'' event would be followed by a Doofenshmirtz takeover when little Perry-related music showed up during the former.

* CreativeDifferences: Triple-Q, one of the more well-known early contributors to the channel, was unceremoniously let go from the contributors a few months in as the others felt that his submissions [[https://twitter.com/TripleKyun/status/743656203218092032?replies_view=true&cursor=AADVR8b_UQo weren't of high enough quality]].[[note]]In 2019, former backroom member [=TUWieZ=] published a document with screenshots of the team's internal Website/{{Discord}}, dated a little bit after Triple-Q's announced departure, where he is still there; but it's still unknown how much he's been involved with the channel if at all, aside from his three ''King for Another Day'' rips.[[/note]]

** Sort of Zig Zagged with his "Continue - ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat''" rip which was mashed up with "Puzzle Room" from ''[[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''... and released about 2 days after the infamous "Puzzle Room" incident. It was ''very'' shortly unlisted, but remade private, likely to prevent controversy; mirrors are available, though, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TIsjsLeji8 it was put back up]] the next day.

** Le Ruse Bird was let go for uploading the infamously graphic "Puzzle Room - ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''" without permission from the rest of the staff. Le Ruse Bird did apologize and was allowed back into the group, but he remains permanently barred from uploading any content (though it should be noted that he can still make rips for others in the group to upload).

** Le Ruse Bird was let go for uploading "Puzzle Room - ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''" without permission from the rest of the staff. Le Ruse Bird did apologize and was allowed back into the group, but he remains permanently barred from uploading any content.
** An unidentified member of the team was fired for uploading "Environmental Noises - ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''" without anyone's consent.

* CreativeDifferences: Triple-Q, one of the more well-known early contributors to the channel, was unceremoniously let go from the contributors a few months in as the others felt that his submissions [[https://twitter.com/TripleKyun/status/743656203218092032?replies_view=true&cursor=AADVR8b_UQo weren't of high enough quality]].[[note]]In 2020, a document by [=TUWieZ=] showed screenshots of the team's internal Website/{{Discord}}, dated a little bit after Triple-Q's announced departure, where he is still there; but it's unknown how much he's been involved with the channel since then (his only known post-leave contributions are his three King for Another Day Tournament rips).[[/note]]

It was later revealed in a document by [=TUWieZ=] that Triple-Q had rejoined the team around the time of the Reboot, but it's unknown how much he's involved with the channel since his only known contributions since his departure are his three King for Another Day Tournament rips.

** "Puzzle Room - VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot" was removed due to it being a [[ShockSite shock video]] that was uploaded unilaterally by Le Ruse Bird without the rest of the team's consent. The video would become a RoleEndingMisdemeanor for Le Ruse Bird, [[LaserGuidedKarma who was swiftly barred from uploading]]. Ironically, this incident was so infamous to the fanbase that the song featured in the video became a RunningGag afterwards.

** "Environmental Noises - VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl" was removed due to it being a troll video of a pigeon being punched that was unilaterally uploaded by an unidentified member of the channel, [[LaserGuidedKarma who was promptly fired]].

** The "Green de la Bean" rips, a series of BaitAndSwitch videos[[note]]"Stages 1-4 Intro - VideoGame/DrRobotniksMeanBeanMachine", "Coffee Break - VideoGame/Mother3", "[=MROB-6720m=] - VideoGame/Mother3", "Green Hill Zone (Unused Mix) - VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1", "Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.) - VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl", "KILL A - VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle", "Kirby Collecting (Unused Mix) - VideoGame/KirbyMassAttack", "Puzzle Room - VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot" (2nd Version), "Unnecessary Tension - VideoGame/{{Undertale}}", and "Deus Machina (Main Theme) - [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Deus Machina Demonbane]]"[[/note]] whose punchline was a SensoryAbuse video of a cartoon green bean, were all pulled after one of them ended up being flagged. A few of these rips would be remade without the Bean or at least with the SensoryAbuse removed. [=SiIvaGunner=] ostensibly retired the character with a somewhat BackhandedApology in "An Ending - VideoGame/{{Undertale}}", which was itself deleted due to having been uploaded on 9/11 (see below). It didn't quite stop the character and RunningGag from appearing occasionally in subsequent rips, though usually without the SensoryAbuse (which was also downplayed in some Bean rips released shortly before the apology video).

A few of these rips would be remade without the Bean or at least with the SensoryAbuse removed. [=SiIvaGunner=] formally retired the character with an apology in "An Ending - VideoGame/{{Undertale}}", which was itself deleted due to having been uploaded on 9/11 (see below). It didn't quite stop the character and RunningGag from appearing occasionally in subsequent rips, though usually without the SensoryAbuse (which was also downplayed in some Bean rips released shortly before the apology).

** The "Green de la Bean" rips, a series of eight BaitAndSwitch videos[[note]]"An Ending - VideoGame/{{Undertale}}", "Coffee Break - VideoGame/Mother3", "Green Hill Zone (Unused Mix) - VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1", "Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.) - VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl", "KILL A - VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle", "Puzzle Room - VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot" (2nd Version), "Trampoline Time - VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros", and "Unnecessary Tension - VideoGame/{{Undertale}}"[[/note]] whose punchline was a SensoryAbuse video of a cartoon green bean, were all pulled after one of them ended up being flagged.

** The "bean flagging" incident didn't help matters. It even managed to get to the point where all the rips from 9/11 were removed due to some people threatening to flag them for offensive content. Luckily, they were all re-uploaded on Flustered Fernando.

* OldShame:
** A lot of the much edgier rips from early in the channel's days have been deleted over the years. While two of the most infamous examples are "Puzzle Room - Kirby Planet Robobot" and "Theme Song - Caillou" (especially the latter), there are plenty of less-known rips that the channel has since deleted, such as a [[https://siivagunner.fandom.com/wiki/Prinsengracht_-_The_Secret_Annex_Online 2017 rip (of an Anne Frank game no less) celebrating Hitler's birthday]]. A lot of this edginess originates from Chaze's and [=TUWieZ=]'s former influence on the channel, at least according to [=TUWieZ=] himself, which dissipated as the channel gained an increasingly diverse ripping team and many of the [[https://twitter.com/MsHinchy/status/1281216415089950720 earlier channel members turned out to be trans]], leading to many of the original edgier channel heads leaving.
** [=NBGMusic=], creator of the Mr. Rental rips, mentions that he felt the three ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''-themed ones he made were "pretty boring" in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVS5wsXyOxs Behind the Scenes - Mr Rental: The Video Game]]''.

** "abc_123_a - VideoGame/{{Undertale}}" was unlisted as an intentional artistic decision. The video uses the ''WebAnimation/{{Underpants}}'' video based on the track, which itself was based on ''Undertale''[='=]s hidden metastory about the secret character W.D. Gaster, most of which requires hacking the game or [[RandomEvents extreme luck]] to see. Keeping in line with its inspiration, the video itself was hidden so that it required a similar kind of deep snooping to discover.
** "Giga Bowser - VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee" was an [[StylistickSuck intentionally terrible rip]] uploaded [[IntendedAudienceReaction to see if the fans would dislike it]]; it was promptly unlisted after fans did just that. A different, better rip with the same title was uploaded in its place. This was actually undone later, as the earlier bad rip was reuploaded to the channel during the Nostalgia Critic Takeover, just with the subtitle 'Original Version'.

** "Puzzle Room - ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''" was removed due to it being a [[ShockSite shock video]] that was uploaded unilaterally by Le Ruse Bird without the rest of the team's consent. The video would become a RoleEndingMisdemeanor for Le Ruse Bird, [[LaserGuidedKarma who was swiftly barred from uploading]].

** The original version of "Title Screen (Demo) - VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand" was removed because the backroom ultimately didn't like it, most likely for being an extremely barebones mashup. It was promptly replaced by a rip where Mr. Own shoots the mashup down, tying into the then-ongoing story arc on his murderous hatred of mashups (although WordOfGod is that the decision to do this [https://twitter.com/The8Bits/status/804357098096181252 had little to do with the arc itself] and was just about the team disliking the original rip).
** The original "Main Theme - Metal Gear Solid" was unlisted, most likely for being off-key. It was replaced by the creatively-titled "Main Theme (super remastered not gay version) - Metal Gear Solid".

** The "Green de la Bean" rips, a series of eight BaitAndSwitch videos[[note]]"An Ending - ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', "Coffee Break - ''VideoGame/Mother3''", "Green Hill Zone (Unused Mix) - ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1''", "Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.) - ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''", "KILL A - ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle''", "Puzzle Room - ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'' (2nd Version)", "Trampoline Time - ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros''", and "Unnecessary Tension - ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''"[[/note]] whose punchline was a SensoryAbuse video of a cartoon green bean, were all pulled due to their negative reception from viewers.
** The 9/11 takeover event in 2016, featuring ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' and a clip of a plane crashing into the World Trade Center, was canceled so quickly that several of the rips created for it never made it onto the channel itself. All rips from that day were deleted, including a few unrelated to the event.
** "Ashley's Song - ''VideoGame/WarioWare: Touched!''" was pulled thanks to an edited line that joked about engaging in anal sex with Ashley; since she's canonically a minor, the team felt that the joke had unintended pedophilic implications.
** "Final Boss - ''[[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles]]''" was removed due to the team disliking its soundfont, which they described as "a midi slap with an inaccurate Genesis soundfont that we didn't expect anyone to actually like."
** "Puzzle Room - ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''" was removed due to it being a [[ShockSite shock video]] that was uploaded unilaterally by Le Ruse Bird without the rest of the team's consent. The video would become a RoleEndingMisdemeanor for Le Ruse Bird, [[LaserGuidedKarma who was swiftly fired from the collective]].
** The first version of "Title Theme - ''7 GRAND DAD''" was made as a joke video consisting entirely of rips and {{Running Gag}}s that the channel's fans disliked. It was taken down by the team after the second version of the video, a proper GrandFinale ([[SeriesFauxnale at first]]), was published.
** "Theme Song - ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}''" was removed after a [=ScareTheater=] video revealed that one scene in the rip (the man taunting a screaming kid locked in a shower) was sourced from what appeared to be a pedophilia ring, noting its similarity to another, verified child pornography video. The members of [=SiIvaGunner=] left a comment on the [=ScareTheater=] video stating that the team took the clip from Website/FourChan's /x/ board without any knowledge of who made it or why.
** "Environmental Noises - ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''" was removed due to it being a troll video of a pigeon being punched that was unilaterally uploaded by an unidentified member of the channel, [[LaserGuidedKarma who was promptly fired]].
** "abc_123_a - ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''" was unlisted as an intentional artistic decision. The video parodies the Goner characters from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', who, at the time of the rip's release, could only be found by hacking the game as part of a hidden metastory about the secret character W.D. Gaster. Keeping in line with its inspiration, the video itself was hidden so that it required a similar kind of deep snooping to discover.
** "Giga Bowser - ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee''" was unlisted due to fan backlash towards its poor quality. A second, higher-quality version of the video was publicly uploaded in its place.
** "Mute City (Multiplayer Mix) - ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''" was unlisted and replaced due to the team disliking its quality, particularly singling out the fact that it was off-key.
** The original version of "Title Screen (Demo) - ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand''" was removed as an artistic decision, with the replacement video being edited to tie in with the lore surrounding Mr. Own and his murderous hatred of mashups.

* TheWikiRule: No surprises here. The [[https://siivagunner.fandom.com/ SiIvaGunner Wiki]] aims to explain the joke of every single high quality rip. Due to the abundance of RunningGags, the wiki also acts as a makeshift database, sort of. Of the over ''26,000'' rips, only around two dozen of them are missing a page.

** Siiva has an entire art team dedicated for visuals of bigger events such as KFAD or The Christmas Comeback Crisis, who consistently illustrate high quality art when needed, no matter how bizarre or silly the circumstance requires. And much like the channel itself, no real monetization comes from this.
* FanworkBan: The channel accepts and posts a wide variety of rips submitted by the fans, but the contributors also keeps a list of content that isn't accepted. Some are due to concern for copyright strikes (see ScrewedByTheLawyers). Others, such as the ''Film/SpaceJam'' theme, the ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' theme and "All-Star" by Music/SmashMouth are due to being cliché memes and thus magnets for low-quality efforts.

** The King for a Day tournaments have inspired multiple clones and similar tournaments on Soundcloud, which follow a similar structure to King for Another Day. Examples include ''WebOriginal/MashupWeek, Temporary Flight Attendent, Third World Tournament,'' ''[[SelfDeprecation Another Unneceary Tournament]]'' and ''PRIZM''
* FranchiseZombie: Despite Chaze the Chat intending to end the channel on a high note in September 2016, the Christmas Comeback Crisis, intending to just be a temporary special return for the holiday, morphed into an actual comeback continuing ''way'' past the Christmas season due to the seventh episode falling into DevelopmentHell - eventually, Chaze decided to UnCancel the channel altogether.
* IKnewIt: Quite a few people predicted the ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' takeover would be followed by a Doofenshmirtz takeover when little Perry-related music showed up during the former.

** "We Are Number One But It's a Fusion Collab" ends with the message "Thank You Stefan" in the ''Lazytown'' title font, referencing the death of Robbie Rotten's actor Stefán Karl Stefánsson in 2018.

** Another ripper, RL.99, died in late 2021. In February 2022, the channel commemorated what would have been his birthday by ripping properties he liked, such as ''VideoGame/Mother3'', as well as long, complicated songs.
** The King For Another Day tournament ended with two tracks dedicated to those who passed away before the tournament began, with [[https://youtu.be/a6dR3sralhc 8PM (Fishing Night in Heaven)]] in memory of the backroom member Marrow (again), and [[https://youtu.be/domi1RZ-ydA Lifelight]] as a tribute to WebVideo/{{Etika}}.
** [[https://youtu.be/_BNXaXWymlg Elliot's Theme - Garry's Mod]] ends with a dedication to the late ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' {{machinim|a}}ist [[https://www.youtube.com/user/kitty0706 kitty0706]], to whom the video is an extended {{homage}}.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKB3IaUsYjE Blammed (In-Game Version) - Friday Night Funkin']]" is dedicated to the late rapper Music/JuiceWrld, being a somber mashup between the advertised track and "Lucid Dreams", down to his depiction in the rip bearing a halo and a pair of wings.

* TheWikiRule: No surprises here. The [[https://siivagunner.fandom.com/ SiIvaGunner Wiki]] aims to explain the joke of every single high quality rip. Due to the abundance of RunningGags, the wiki also acts as a makeshift database, sort of. Of the over 13,000 rips, only around two dozen of them are missing a page.

* BannedEpisode: A number of rips over the years have been taken down by the team themselves with no intention to reupload them, due to a variety of reasons ranging from fan unpopularity and {{Old Shame}}s to accidental connections to ''possible real-world child abuse''. The Lost Media Wiki keeps [[https://lostmediawiki.com/SiIvaGunner_(partially_lost_removed_parody_music_videos_from_YouTube_channel;_2016-present) a fairly thorough list]] of banned rips and the reasons behind their removal.

** "Environmental Noises - ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''" was removed due to it being a troll video that was unilaterally uploaded by an unidentified member of the channel, [[LaserGuidedKarma who was promptly fired]].

** After the death of backroom member Marrow in 2019, shortly before the National Go Fishing Day Event was due to begin, the event gradually worked in more ''Ultimate Angler'' rips, as he enjoyed Streetpass games and ''Ultimate Angler'' in particular.

** A few of the HQ rips are remixed or extended versions from later games/remakes, put back into the original game. Examples include "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9vMny_F1l8 Mt Dedede]]"[[note]]The extended version of King Dedede's theme heard in every Kirby game ''but'' the original ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand''[[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abo0rh0_ARY Savannah Symphony]][[note]]The ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryTropicalFreeze'' version of Stickerbush Symphony, remade in the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'' style[[/note]], "Heart of Fire" [[note]][[VideoGame/HauntedCastle "Don't Wait Until Night"]], the track that was included in all subsequent remixes of "Heart of Fire" Aria of Sorrow onwards[[/note]] or for a particularly over the top example, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY7GQnnD-Ds Title Flash]]"[[note]]The original ten seconds-long title screen riff from ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars The Great Battle II: Last Fighter Twin]]''... followed by the rest of ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Super Robot Wars OG: The Moon Dwellers]]''[-'-]s final boss theme, a much longer ''Great Battle II'' BossRemix medley that happens to open with Title Flash.[[/note]]

** Some of the "rips" have an impressive amount of effort put into them for what they are, such as the "rip" of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM3lZKMAed8 Title Theme (Beta Mix)]] of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' which is [[spoiler:one of the infamous [[ScreamerPrank K-Fee coffee commercials]] recreated in the game itself via romhack]].
** [[IncrediblyLamePun Quite literally in this case]], but Siiva has an entire art team dedicated for visuals of bigger events such as KFAD or The Christmas Comeback Crisis, who consistently illustrate high quality art when needed, no matter how bizarre or silly the circumstance requires. And much like the channel itself, no real monetization comes from this.

** "Puzzle Room - ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''" was removed due to it being a [[ShockSite shock video]] that was uploaded unilaterally by Le Ruse Bird without the rest of the team's consent. The video would become a RoleEndingMisdemeanor for Le Ruse Bird, who was swiftly fired from the collective.

** "Environmental Noises - ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''" was removed due to it being a troll video that was unilaterally uploaded by an unidentified member of the channel, who was promptly fired.

** The ninth most viewed is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyNVRrHkwe0 Good Night]], another SeriesFauxnale with some visuals thrown in. Although in this case, the audio is a more typical for the channel.
