AmateurYTP
(alias Neil Harrison) is a YouTube Pooper, active from 2015. He specialises in using sources that others might not particularly think of, such as the BBC's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy TV series, and the 1978 Superman movie. Harrison is noted for his use of his most famous source, Come Outside, but incorporates aspects of the Superman aesthetic for his branding. The 'limited software' mentioned in his channel description refers to CyberLink Director Suite 4.
Harrison has stated in the past that his favourite work of his is [YTP] SuSERMAN, calling it "the YTP I'm most proud of", and has hinted that, despite it being one of his least-known poops, he is working on a sequel.
Harrison was inspired to start making YTPs by JoceWhizz and Stephen's YTP's, having made a number of references to their videos within his own, but has embarrassedly described these as "Plagiaristic".
Little is actually known about Harrison himself. His YouChew page reveals a number of things that he enjoys, and he has mentioned living in Manchester in the past, but otherwise, he is a very private person. In a comment on a now-deleted/privated video, Harrison revealed that he is "online", but "no pictures or profiles are associated with AmateurYTP", which suggests that 'Neil Harrison' is, in fact, a pseudonym.
AmateurYTP Tropes:
- Running Gag
- "Tit" and "Tout": A character says a word that ends in "it" or "out". The end of the word is copied to the beginning of the word, so that the character will then, after saying the original word, say either "tit" or "tout".
Auntie Mabel: "It looks like a toy from up here, doesn't it? Tit."- Banana Skin: A character will fall over or be pushed offscreen by an object, such as a brick, a plane or a bus. This is done by creating a matte background of a static scene, then animating the characters from their positions through keyframes.
- Auntie Mabel Needs A Lawyer: The character of Auntie Mabel is demonstrated to be quite a sex-driven criminal, whose multiple crimes include bestiality and growing weed in her back garden.
- Michael Rosen Cameos: Michael Rosen will often make an appearance to add commentary or relay a message, but Harrison has never actually given him an entire poop to himself.
- Call-Back: Various pop culture references, memes, and in-jokes, as you would expect from a YTP.
- Visual Pun: A piece of dialogue resulting in an exploitation of the intended meaning of the words versus its potential meanings. Visually.
- Example: Lois asks Clark to "Be a pet..."
- Example: Lois asks Clark to "Be a pet..."
