What are the origins of Yurf? I keep seeing them pop up in your ytps. I think they're v silly but I wanna know where they came from

Yurf first appeared in The Bat Is in a Sack - Upon hearing the phrase "And even your friends" from the source video, I thought it'd be funny to cut it off early and create a nonsense word in the process "And even yurf--". I had done this kind of joke before (for example, "The toaster pastry doughf" from WIM 3) but this time I wanted a visual to go with it. So I imagined what the word Yurf could mean, and my first thought was that it could be the name of a gnome or something.

I didn't want Yurf to be a gnome necessarily, just to vaguely give the vibe of one. To that end I added some elements to make Yurf distinct - namely the double-pointed hat, mittens, lack-of visible nose, and the lipstick.

After I had found excuses to throw Yurf jokes into other videos like Guns & Ropeses and Thing of Da Hill it became apparent that this character would be a recurring bit - so I commissioned my pal @dukeofash to bring the design to life further, and as usual he nailed it! You can see in the attached image the alternate design I sometimes use which takes heavy inspiration from Duke's version.

Yurf is kinda everything-ambiguous and I prefer it that way. Yurf is a stand-in for any time a sentence is said about an object or concept, but would be made funnier if it were about a silly lil' blorbo instead. There isn't much to know about what Yurf is "like" or "about" - just that they're happy to be included!

I think it's funny and awesome that my intention was to create a character that looked unique enough that nobody would mistake it for being a reference to anything else - but in doing so I instead created a character that everyone initially thinks is some outside reference they can't quite place.

aaand a bonus sketch from an aggie.io session with friends – blindingly white next to the previous pics, so im putting it under the cut:

I think we should all stop talking about generative AI being used to produce (typically visual, in these debates) works until we can agree that "is AI art real art?" is the wrong question to be fighting over

Sex - Steve Harvey

Season 4 Episode 1 No Album Release (Read More) Sex - Steve Harvey

Ripped by Nozobot

Yknow, I wonder sometimes about the impression people get of the SiIvaGunner channel from reading this blog. I've noticed that some posts have gained minor traction outside of SiIva's core audience on here, such as Four Ardain ~ Roaming the Route~, due to it just being a damn solid arrangement.

In a way, this blog is cherry picking the channel's greatest moments and personal favorites, that gives off a skewed impression of what the channel can truly offer. And though I've dabbled in some unserious rips in the past, today we're going all-in: Sex - Steve Harvey is perhaps the most deranged, most incomprehensible, and most hysterical thing the channel has yet to upload.

In the first four Seasons of the channel, channel creator Chaze the Chat would sometimes release Vlog-like videos wherin he'd declare his intentions and direction for the channel going forward. And though things certainly ended up different due to the sheer scope of the King for Another Day tournament, Chaze's vision for Season 4 Episode 1 was still clearly established at the beginning of 2019: bring back the surprise, chaos and insanity of Season 1 in full force. Seasons 2 and 3 had of course not shied away from unhinged content - a certain purple eggplant was effectively chaos incarnate - but it still felt as if it was being deprioritized over maintaining quality and gradually progressing the lore. With the sudden positive reception to Season 3's King for a Day tournament, it was as if a message had been sent to the SiIva team: The lore can wait, so long as the team is passionate about whatever they make instead.

As the premiere of King for Another Day drew closer, "Not Funny Didn't Laugh Day" was the climax to all of this build-up: A day that was, effectively, chaos incarnate.

Sex - Steve Harvey, in a way, shows just how far any of us are to understanding just what the hell the SiIva team are capable and willing to do. Its arguable that the randomness and surprise that defined Season 1 doesn't quite exist anymore, because we as the audience have "solved" the joke - we KNOW that random takeovers will occur, we know that melodyswaps will happen, we know rips can now occasionally have mashups. But rips made during Not Funny Didn't Laugh Day - and especially Sex - Steve Harvey - felt like taking the next step beyond what Season 1 was doing, and in turn is complete jibberish in YouTube video form. There are dozens of people in the comments still trying to discern what the video means - its original joke is of course parodying Steve Harveys overreactions to lewd answers on Family Feud, but it goes through so many bizarre, nonsensical phases, most of which have no actual connection to one another. Really, the only consistent throughline is the audio quality being consistently compressed into oblivion.

And, yknow, its very possible that I am overthinking this rip, and that it really is just a collection of nonsense. But I swear it should not be able to be as funny as it is if that were the case. Sex - Steve Harvey haunts me like an apparition, I keep coming back to it just to find new things in its concoction of chaos that I might've missed. And "Not Funny Didn't Laugh Day" was FULL of rips similar to this - the entire event is a golden throwback to absurdist comedy's recent history, with platforms like Vine and the edgier period of YouTube developing so many strange ways to gather laughs out of people.

I'm eternally grateful that SiIva will keep finding ways to surprise me, even with dumb bullshit like this.

Do you enjoy collage?

I think my love for collage is directly related to why I love YTPs and Spamton. YTPs are just video and audio collages, and Spamton’s dialogue is collage but with words. I honestly consider it a type of poetry lol

it's funny you mention that bc that's a genuine special interest of mine! Just combining things that have little to no relation and just mashing it all together to form something cohesive and connected! (When I was a kid i would cut out fun magazine pictures like cats and stuff and combine it all in collages to line my binders and walls lol)

I also grew up with ytps and i wholeheartedly agree with you!! Like you're absolutely right. Collage is like a form of poetry cuz it's combining so many different things and finding a meaning they all share. Some sort of connection, via the artist's randomized selection. Or if there is no obvious meaning and connection, just the way these pictures/audio/video are all combined has meaning to the artist and we get to interpret that or laugh at how random it all can get. I guess my latching onto spamton was inevitable because it's kinda like that. The comedy behind it is all top tier. The mix of ads to form sentences is also a super interesting speaking quirk you can have lots of fun with and get lots of humorous lines of dialogue out of it! :D
