Swifthead is a Youtube channel created by Luigi Yoshi Shell. On this channel, Matthew uploads original comedy sketches.

The channel is currently inactive and Matthew has not posted on it in 2.5 years.

You can find it here.

This channel shows examples of:

  • all lowercase letters: How most of his video titles are stylized.
  • Anti-Humor: The entire joke of "when the first ever hoverboard was tested" is just that the hoverboard explodes. That's it.
  • Bait-and-Switch: In "wanna hit?", a shady figure offers a kid a hit. However, it turns out the hit he's referring to is a punch in the face.
  • Black Comedy: After Spiderman in Spiderman's Day Out introduces the doll as "for emotional support", he throws it off of a swing and stomps on it.
  • Blatant Lies: In "every 3 am video ever", Matthew says it's 3 am, while filming his phone, which says it's 8:40.
  • Creator Thumbprint: Despite this being a different channel, Matthew can't help but sneak in a Mario sketch.
  • Creepy Stalker Van: Spiderman points out a car that's been parked by him for about 20 minutes, then runs away from it screaming what sounds like "you'll never take me alive".
  • Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off!: The Grinch, upon learning that you like Christmas.
  • Green Screen: A very obvious one in "A Terrible Reenactment of Spiderman (2002)". It crops out Green Goblin's costume.
  • Minimalist Cast: Matthew recreates Spider-Man with only himself and a friend.
  • Minuscule Rocking: The Guy Song is only 18 seconds long. Justified in that most sketches by Matthew are under a minute.
  • Non Sequitur: During the introduction video, it randomly cuts to Matthew on top of a trash can.
  • Parody: "every 3 am video ever" is a parody of, well every 3 am video ever.
  • Pranking Montage: The montage of Spiderman running amok in the park.
  • Shout-Out:
    • Matthew says in his introduction video that he's a ripoff of Jack Pop.
    • During the Spiderman Reenactment video, he match cuts into a clip from an Angry Videogame Nerd video.
  • So Bad, It's Good: Invoked with the 3 am video. The Large Ham from Matthew makes it funny.
    Matthew: Are you gonna kill me?
    Kermit: (nods)
    Matthew: NOOOOOO!!
  • Stylistic Suck:
    • "every 3 am video" is a parody of the bad acting and unrealistic situations in videos by creators like Jaystation.
    • A Reenactment of Spiderman (2002) is bad in many ways.
      • Spiderman's gravelly and inappropriate voice.
      • Green Goblin's costume, which is obviously a Luigi suit and a paper mask.
      • The crappy Green Screen.
  • The Unmasking: At the end of "Spiderman's Day Out", he unmasks and is horrified when the cameraman sneaks in and records.

Just remember, I'm gonna kick your bass/That's because: You. Are. Trash.
