Welcome Today’s FYB post Featuring the Well….We’re Not entirely Sure. It isn’t the Typical YouTuber Beef We’re Used to Seeing (In Fact the So-Called Beef is Completely One Sided). So Here is the Tale of the Exchange between MeatCanyon and Nikocado Avocado so Let’s Get Started.
THE PLAYERS
MEATCANYON: MeatCanyon’s real name is Hunter August Hancock better know by His online user name MeatCanyon. Hancock is an American Youtuber, Animator, Voice Actor, Comedian, Writer, and Director who makes Parody Animations of Popular Characters (say Sponge Bob for instance). Some viewers of MeatCanyon’s Animations have been Described them in just One Single Word “Horrifying”. A common on going gag in Hancock’s video’s is that Something Normal or Mundane gets You Killed or Possible Worse.
NIKOCADO AVACADO: Here is Nikocado Avocado in a Nutshell. In the Beginning He was a Young, Health, Vegan, and Physically Fit Violin Prodigy, but the Youtube Audience was Small to say the least. When Nikocado Avocado discovered He got a Shit Ton more Views, Likes, and Subscribers for His Mukbang Videos. Over the Last Three Plus Years Nikocado Avocado has put out a PROLIFIC amount of Mukbang Content in fact it’s Become a Trade Mark of the Nikocado Avocado Brand. Now Nikocado is a Consummate Showman and the Time, Effort, and Dedication He has put into His YouTube Character’s Persona is Admirable.
With that Said Nikocado Avocado is Above All a MASTER OF MONETIZATION He Knows How to Play it Up for His Audience to get Views/Likes/Subscribers. Nikocado Avocado Utilizes Extremely Over the Top Theatrics to His Personal Style of Mukbang. Instead of Sitting Silently Staring into the Camera and Eating Obscene Amount of Food Nikocado Openly Addresses the Camera/His Audience, Has on Volatile On Again Off Agin Relationship, Whatever is Going on in His Life Currently, and Complains about Shit or People He doesn’t like. Being a True Showman when Nikocado Avocado has Beef He always Punches Up. That means He doesn’t Argue with Channels Smaller than His only Larger Channels because those Fights Rack Up FAR MORE Views that Way. No one gives a Shit if He is Beefing with a Small Lesser Known Channel, but They Love it when Bigger YouTube Channels Go At it like a Cyber Jerry fucking Springer Show.
WHAT THE FUCK IS MUKBANG?
First Things First so what the Mukbang is Originated in 2011 in South Korea where Cooking Shows Air more Footage of the host EATING the food than the cooking of it. Mukbang is an Internet Fad that Evolved from the South Korean Cooking shows but with Mukbang there NO cooking what so fucking ever its ALL about the consumption. This seriously fucking bizarre Fad allows People get Paid for BINGE EATING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF FOOD so they can BUY MORE food for Future Videos/Livestreams. This insures further Donations from Their Members and Viewing Audience).
SO WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? One of Our Favorite Content Creators MeatCanyon did an Animated Parody Video of Fellow YouTuber by the Name of Nikocado Avocado who has made His YouTube Fame doing a Prolific number of Mukbang Videos (It’s for this Reason MeatCanyon Chose the Title of the Parody Video “King of Mukbang” in the First Place). Anyway Nikocado Avocado found out about MeatCanyon’s Parody Animation of Him and in True NiKocado Avocado Fashion threw a Huge Hissy fucking Fit in a True Display of Fake Outrage in a Response Video. In Response to Nikocado Avocado’s Response Video MeatCanyon Released a His Response Video to Nikocado Avocado’s Response Video.

Nikocado Avacado’s Response to MeatCanyon’s “King Of Mukbang”:
Welcome to this Monday’s FYB Post where We’re going to do Something Different than the Past Several Mondays. Today’s Post features and Pertains to Alantutorial a tutorial based Youtube Channel that follows tutorial videos of a Mild Mannered Adult Man Named Alan. However We can tell there is Something Not Quite Right with Alan and His Mental State begins to go from Bad to Worse. The Viewer can see Alan’s Sanity Slipping Farther and Farther Away. Alan’s Tutorial Videos start to become increasingly more Disturbing with every Passing Day and Every New Video.
Alan Tutorials are Nothing Less than Absurd, and aren’t Practical for Anything. The Production Value is utterly Shitty with Wobbly Camera, Total Lack of any sort of Editing, and Half the Time Alan doesn’t seems to even grasp the concept of His own Subject Matter. There are also several Hypothesizes surrounding Alan’s rather Odd Behavior, Speech, and Videos as Well. Here They are in Random Order:
Alan is Experiencing some sort of Arrested Development.
Alan possibly has a Mental Disorder (example Multiple Personality Disorder).
Alan is Mentally Handicapped.
Alan has suffered some Horrible Trauma that He can’t come to Grips With Which In Spite of being a Adult Talks like a Little Child.
Alan has Asperger’s Syndrom/Autism.
Now the One Hypothesis suggesting Alan has a Autism/Asperger’s Syndrome seems to be the Most Likely but Why is that? In one of the Early Videos Alan has a Tab on His Web Browser that Notes that it is Autism Awareness Month. Now of course some say that its just a Coincidence, but I hold favor with Those Who believe it’s a Very Subtle Clue. Although I wouldn’t Rule Out All of the Other Hypothesis as I do think some apply here and There through out the Series.
Also as the Series Progresses Alan’s Life starts to Drastically Change. In the Beginning Videos Alan is simply doing His Weird Tutorials in what appears to be the Bedroom of a Small Apartment. Then there is a Significant Turning Point Where Alan is apparently been Locked out of His Room/Apartment and all of His Possessions have been Packed up for Him. Alan then spends a good amount of Time Homeless and Living in some Near By Woods where He still makes Tutorial Videos as Best He Can. There is One Thing that is Troubling from this Time Period and that is Alan is Heavily Splattered with Blood (and then cumulative Dirt and Grim) that He doesn’t seem to fell the need to Wash Off of Himself.
Then all of a Sudden Alan is Abducted by a Unknown Assailant(s) and Transported to an Unknown Location in the back of for all Intents and Purposes appears to be a Uhaul Type Truck. In the Abduction Video It is also a Disturbing Aspect that is Alan being covered in Blood like He just walked off the Set of a B Horror Movie. Alan ends up being Held Captive for a Duration during which the Captor(s) Provide Alan Supplies for His Tutorials which even in Captivity Alan continues to make. What’s interesting here isn’t just that the Captor(s) provide Alan Supplies, but when Alan is Finished a New Video a One Dollar Bill is Slid to Him under the Door.
Over an Undisclosed amount of Time things slowly start to Deteriorate. The Room Alan is being Held in becomes more and more Filthy with Trash all over the Floor and at one Point the Electricity is Cut Off. We know this by the fact Alan has to use a Flashlight in the Final Videos of the Series. At Last Alan discovers a Hole in the Wall, Crawls Enthusiastically through it existing the room and Freeing Himself.
What happens Ultimately to Alan in the End is a Mystery since His Escape Video was the Last Video Posted to His Youtube Channel. Did Alan set out embarking on Starting a Life of His Own? Did He reunite with His Brother? Did Alan’s Captor’s Catch Him as He made His Get Away once Free from Captivity, or Did His Captor(s) Discover Alan’s Escape and Hunted Him down at which Point They Murdered Him? Sucks to say but these are Questions that will More Likely than Not Never be Answered.
Reoccurring Themes:
The Color Blue is a Constant throughout the Series. Examples Include The Blue Mat in the Yoga Tutorial, The Actual Blue Chair, The Red Table Alan Paints Blue while in Captivity, and a Small Hand Painted Picture of the Blue Chair on one of the Walls in the Room Alan is being Held in (“The Story Of T3 Balls Video).
The Blue Chair appears in Several Videos, but it First appears in “How To Pick Up A Blue Chair Off The Ground”. The Blue Chair is also featured in “How To Do Spanish Hair Braids”, “How To Eat A Bag Of Chips”, “How to Pick Up A Huge Amount Of Pencils, and “Do It Yourself Weatherized Hole”
Slats of Wood
Water (Not Actually Water but a Strange Hair Gel Looking Substance).
The Money Man Alan creates in Captivity that He ends up having a Conversation With.
The Mysterious Woman who is in Only Two Videos and is only Seen in One. (“How To Escape A Dark Room” and “How To Find A Lake”)
Note Worthy Shit:
In the Video Hard Drive Video Alan mentions that He Lives with His Brother.
When it comes to the Mysterious Woman Alan says “Ut-Oh” Extremely Nervously as if He is Afraid of Her and Immediate returns to His Bedroom.. Is She Alan’s Mother or Alan mentions Early on that He lives with His Brother so His Brother’s Girlfriend? Was She the One that Locked Alan in the Closet (aka Dark Room)? That would at least Explain Why Alan is Afraid of Her. Could the Woman be Alan’s Mother? The Video before Alan is Locked Out He Severely Damages the Bedrooms Ceiling while look for Wooden Slats, and is this Why perhaps He was Locked Out/ Evicted?
In the Video “Locked Out of Room” Tutorial Alan can be Heard Whispering future Tutorial Subjects to Himself (while awaiting Help), and one of the Subjects is “How To Kill”. This is Significant because in the Video where Alan is being Abducted in the back of a Shipping Truck He’s Covered in Blood.
The Room Alan is kept Captive in doesn’t seem to upset Alan say like being Stuck in a Jail Cell for Example. In fact Alan appears to be quite Content with/in His Surroundings.
Alan mentions (Sometimes Several Times in a Single Video) to Subscribe, Like, and Add His Youtube Channel as a Favorite.
In the “How To Pick Up A Blue Chair…” Video Alan approaches the fallen Chair as if it were an Actual Person who may be in need of Emergency Medical Help or The way Someone would Act Upon finding an Unconscious and Possibly Dead. Alan appears to be Distressed as He Whimpers and His Voice Keeps Wavering as well as Cracking with Emotion. The Alan Discovering His Dead Mother is Backed by the Video’s Description “If Your Chair is on the Floor here is How to get it Back, and Pick Up all the Pieces of Something Broken and Unfair.”
It’s Speculated by Some that Alan’s Captor(s) are Forcing Alan to make Tutorial Videos in Captivity to make Them Money (or Moreover They’re Stealing Alan’s Financial Returns from His Youtube Channel.
In the Video “How To Fill A Tiny Bin With Dirt” Alan says at one point “The Military Time Watch You Borrowed from Dad.” This is odd because the Only People Other than Alan in the Series are His Brother (Who We Never See or Hear From), The Unknown Woman (Seen Only Once and Not Heard From), and Alan’s Unknown Captor(s). This is the One and Only Mention of Anyone Else, and it just so Happens to be Alan’s Father.
Symbolism:
There Many Hypothesis on What the the Origins of the Blood Covered Alan. Some Think it’s because Alan Kill His Mom/Brother/Brother’s Girlfriend or Possibly Someone Else. The Other Possibility is Whoever Abducted Alan either Beat Him or They could have Killed Alan’s Family and it’s Their Blood all over Alan.
There a Couple Different Hypothesis on the Actual Room Alan is held Captive in. One it’s some Room for Holding Someone Hostage and the Other is Far More Intriguing. The Second Hypothesis is tied Directly to the Topic of the Blood in Some Believe Alan Murdered Someone and has been Taken into Custody by the Authorities or Mental Health Professionals. That would make the Room Alan Alan is a Patient’s Room in a Mental Hospital or Possibly a Mental Asylum for the Criminally Insane if He in Fact Did Kill Someone. Then Again Perhaps after Destroying His Bedroom (and Living in the Woods Homeless) Alan’s Brother/Mother had Him Institutionalized for Help with His Mental Disorder.
There also Two Hypothesis on Why Alan’s Room plunges into complete Squaller during the Last Videos. One is the Captors decided to Leave and Left Alan there to Die. The Other is that the Asylum was Shut Down and Alan was simply Forgotten About.
Now when it comes to the Blue Chair there a Variety of Hypothesis on what it Represents. Some believe it Represents Alan’s Deceased Mother who’s Body was Discovered by Alan (Remember the Distress and Emotional Angst in the “How To Pick Up A Blue Chair…” Video. It could also Represent Alan’s Failures as Far as Failing to become a Famous YouTuber or Other Life Failures. Then Some think the Blue Chair Represents Alan’s Lost Childhood. The Blue Chair might also Represent Trouble? By this I mean was Alan a Trouble Maker as a Child and Thus was put on a “Time Out” sitting on said Blue Chair.
CONCLUSION:
The Obvious Question on Everyone’s Mind is This Series Real or What and Heres the Answer. It’s Fictional Series it’s actually an Experimental Performance Art Project by American Comedian, Visual Artist, and Film Maker Alan Resnick Who plays a Fictional Version of Himself. Resnick created the Series as YouTube Satire since He was Frustrated (and Disgusted) with/by all the Pointless Vlogs, Poorly Filmed, Poorly Edited if at All, Monetization, Crappy Videos with No Though or Creativity (Content for Contents sake or a Quantity over Quality Scenario), and Unexplained Tutorial on Youtube. Resnick Deemed all of it a Trash/Trashy Content and Decided to Create His Own YouTube Trash Channel Showcasing all the Shit He Hated about the Platform. Resnick created the Storyline of the Fictional Alan being a Dark and Deeply Troubled Individual Who ends up on a Nightmarish Decent into Sheer Madness.
VIDEOS: Here are the First 16 Videos from the Series, and Don’t freak the fuck Out about the Number of Videos (Their Short running from 8 Seconds to Three Minutes and Change)
