JonnyRaZeR and his effect on the YouTube ecosystem

 Jonny RaZeR has had a profound and deep impact on the YouTube ahorts mythos, from "the wafflehouse has found its new host", to Shortswars or even his outro, his influence can be found everywhere, but why? That is what we are here to explore.


 Various short form content based youtubers have been inspired by Jonny's style such as Declan Planet of Fun's short form Alternate account Declan+. Declan+'s earliest short form video was exposing the myth of the notorious fake roblox hacker John Doe, from there, he made videos covering various topics such as Percy Jackson and Controversys with the style most commonly seen on his channel being disscousion based videos with his real life form greenscreened over minecraft parchour, a video format popularised by Johnny RaZeR.


JonnyRaZeR's Outro (that being him yelling the word YOOOOTUBE and then greenscreen shrinking "flying away", inspired by the "Yapdollar" meme) has been parodied by various shorts based Youtubers such as his friend Deejus.


Deejus is a fellow short form youtuber most known for his videos on The Longing (a video game notorious for the amount of time it takes to complete) and the internets carnal desires towards Nicole Watterson (mother of Zach Tristopher Watterson who is the main character of The Amazing World of Gumball, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball and Waiting for Gumball) and how that kind of attention detracted from her character, with Deejus using her as "Fanservice" (the act of putting something to imediatly draw attention such as references to past events or character sexualization) in the tumbnails (the photo that appears in order to grab the views attention to click on a video, similar in purpose to the cover of a book) of multiple videos. He is also a member of Podcast group The Rumblepack Podcast.


The Yapdollar Meme is various clips of Fiveish, the mascot character (a cartoon character designed as the representation of a brand such as Pikachu for Pokémon) of Oorah. The goal of the orginization is dedicated help for Jewish people to better connect with their heritage through education programs such as summer camps


The Amazing World of Gumball was an animated children's show (like Pokemon) released in 2011. It focused on the Watterson family and Gumball's school life. Despite being marketed towards children, most of the shows themes were focused around the "more adult" aspects of life such as nihilism (the belief that nothing matters) and Dark Humour (such as when Gumball kidnapped Dexter and Jessica Kaene, the parents of fellow student Alan and and sold them when they were tortured for a child's amusement, Gumball doing this in order to experience the notoriously happy Alan's moment of unhappiness). 


Pokémon has greatly effected the Youtube shorts community through various memes such as the Vaporeon Copypasta (a copypasta is an internet phrase often repeated by various individuals), Ash Ketchum's (the pokemon anime's main character) immense physical strength and the debate about a fictisious battle between One Million Lions or One of Every Pokémon. JonnyRaZeR has made a statement often seen as "incorrect" by the greater pokemon community about his belief that one million lions would win a battle against pokemon due to entity cramming.
