    9:48 No wait you left out the best part of that Creepypasta. That "image" of Spongebob wasn't an image, it was a gif. The creepypasta was short because you would then immediately stare at the image, and if it was timed correctly, it would actually blink at you. I remember it got me good the first time.

    The Ash’s coma theory is still so funny to me bc it just completely overlooks and forgets the fact that pikachu, the whimsical yellow fantasy critter, is what sends Ash into the big snooze, like it doesn’t flip right back to being dead set serious in acting like it happened in the real world.

      There's a kind of annoying plagiarist aspect to some of these creepypastas. I mean thats a charged way of putting it lol, since I'm sure most of the authors were like 15 and everything is for fun. But there's still something that kind of bugs me about how many of these stories get famous more because of the image than the text, and usually the image is pulled from some other artist.

    OK, I HAVE to comment this immediately - LIARS is actually not a photoshopped image and stuff it is... drum roll: the cover of a song by the band Avant Garde-Punk band LIARS! (one of my favourites) The song is called "We Fenced Other Gardens With The Bones Of Our Own" and an absolute, hypnotic banger. The image itself is just taken from their video for the song and not photoshopped at all, but just a blurry movement-image. I very much encourage anyone to check it out, because they are awesome and the song is awesome and the album it is from ("They Were Wrong, So We Drowned") is a concept album about witches they recorded in a secluded hut in the woods, telling each other ghost stories all night.

    The Ash Coma Theory also entrenched the major problem that plagues a good majority of these "[random media property protagonist] is actually dead/in a coma and the narrative is all in their heads" creepypastas, which is that the theory does absolutely nothing to recontextualize or explain narrative elements of the source material.
    To understand what I'm talking about, let's take a look at one of the most prominent examples of this narrative framing device used in popular media: The film Jacob's Ladder (SPOILERS FOR JACOB'S LADDER). The movie follows a down on his luck Vietnam vet who begins having odd experiences over a decade after coming back from the war that seem to be tied to a traumatic incident that happened to his squad back in the war. Throughout the film he encounters strange, horrific imagery and hallucinations and fluctuations in reality and finds himself in a number of strange and terrifying scenarios that seem to defy conventional explanation. At the end of the film it's revealed that the main character actually died during the traumatic attack during the Vietnam War, and the events of the movie set after his return from the war have actually been a purgatory-like state that he experienced in his final few minutes of life as he came to terms with his own death.
    This twist works really well in the narrative as it recontextualizes the events of the film, explains the strange occurrences that the main character experienced and causes the audience to view elements of the story differently in hindsight - for instance the main character's chiropractor becomes a sort of protective, angelic figure with the knowledge of the true nature of the story.
    The Ash's Coma Theory does absolutely none of this. There are no inexplicable events over the course of the Pokemon series that explained or given new context if viewed within the framework of a coma-dream Ash is having. The biggest divergences from reality present in the series (ie the existence of the Pokemon themselves) are established in the story prior to the point where Ash supposedly fell into a coma, and the events of the series beyond the point where it supposedly segues into a coma fantasy are no different in tone or style from what was happening prior. It's ultimately just a lazy fan fiction whose premise is "Hey, remember this point in the show where the main character was in mortal peril? Well what if they ACTUALLY DIED? Wouldn't that be dark and spooky?"
    And it's the same story with far too many creepypasta that follow the DARK SECRET INTERPRETATION OF YOUR FAVORITE KID'S CARTOON formula: It pulls a darker framework out of its ass that has no relationship to the actual source text but would sure be dark if it were real. Wouldn't it be dark if the babies in Rugrats were actually dead and the whole series was a hallucination Angelica was having? I guess so? But what aspects of the original text suggests that to be the case? What mysteries from Rugrats does this actually explain?
    By contrast, an example of this sort of theory executed properly is the theory that Ed, Edd and Eddy takes place in purgatory and all the characters are the ghosts of children from different time periods who died while living on the cul-de-sac. This actually works as a theory because it's trying to explain an oddity present in the source material: The fact that the main cast of characters are the ONLY people we ever see on-camera. While family members and other characters are often referred to by the cast, the only people we ever see on-screen are the 12 kids that live on this cul-de-sac. The setting of the show ends up having this eerie, liminal quality of an abandoned world inhabited by only a dozen characters and the ghost fan theory is actually working with an element of the source material in drawing up its narrative in a way that provides an explanation for that eerieness.

      The only thing that the Ash coma theory explains in case of Pokemon is the fact that Ash never ages. But even then it's mostly just overanalyzing a series that doesn't care too much about its continuity.

    "Funnymouth" is one of the creepypastas that stuck with me for a long time (idk if my pfp makes it obvious, but mouth-related horror compels me). I didn't know the writer also did "Abandoned by Disney", but between the two I'd say he has some good ideas but could use an editor or trusted friend telling him to reel it in before it gets too goofy. Lookin at you, photonegative Mickey costume.

    One of my favorite internet scary stories was basically five Nights at Freddy’s , it was this guy who got a job being the security guard for a defunct train station, on the first night he reads a paper with this long list of rules like “if a train pulls into the station do not open the door” and “if someone gets off the train, shoot them” and other creepy stuff like that, I remember a monster breaks into his room because he messed up one of the rules, I remember on the second night he goes outside and hides from a monster under the train that pulled in, I’ve haven’t found it since but I remember it was from one of those “scary Reddit/4chan” videos

    Despite the channel name, I didn’t even realise it was a creepypasta. It was so detailed and a truly amazing story, and I encourage everyone to read it, with the warning that it does include heavily implied depictions of rape. So please keep that in mind if that is a topic that is too sensitive or triggering for you.

It's a nasty little story that flirts with some of the more extreme kinds of horror but it's well done especially for what it was.

    Fun fact the photo of the Liars creepypasta is actually from a music video from an art rock band called Liars who made several videos. The photo of Jimmy is specifically from the music video We Fenced Other Gardens With The Bones Of Own.
    The Dawn is your Enemy, Adult swim actually find out of the creepypasta and brought back the bumper in May 2020 (a decade after not showing it) but changed it to The Dawn is Your Frenemy, adding the winking sun, the red ballon, and the creepy piano music with text saying they’re trying to stay more positive. And I think played it throughout the month of May.
    Not only the number works for Boothworld Industry (but not anymore I think), the original writer of the creepypasta occasionally would call people back as a representative of Boothworld Industry asking for remodeling, he did it because he loved to freak people out and the funny reactions. There’s several videos of people getting a call back, also Boothworld is actually an anagram for Bloodworth which is the authors name, Christopher Bloodworth.
