Kate Yup is bulimic, speaking from personal experience. BN explains everything from her bruises, to her ability to eat the amounts she does, and her teeth falling out. Common signs of long-term regular binging & purging. She even had a toothbrush taped to her arm in at least one video, which is used to induce vomiting. I think she played along with the “being kidnapped” thing to grow her channel, and she stopped making videos presumably because she’s in recovery.

[@annieapple8974]

Let’s hope so. I’m tired of seeing the dumb ‘she’s been kidnapped’ comments over and over again. I hope she’s doing okay.

i was kinda shocked you didnt already know about poppy before this! for anyone else who didn't and wants a rundown: Poppy was really never super creepy, the more you look into it the more its obvious its just an art project, shes just part of an edgy metal-esque music scene. but there is a sad truth behind it, way more complex than a youtube comment explanation can do justice but basically, she worked with her significant other on the original iconic poppy videos (blonde hair creepy voice, 'sunglasses' era), his name was titanic sinclair, and after a while it came to light that he had basically just redone with poppy what he tried to do with a previous partner called mars argo (singer who had a very similar premise to poppy) and not only this but he was incredibly abusive and manipulative to both girls when with them (and after really, stalking, some people think certain parts of poppy videos straight up reference and mock/taunt mars argo). its hard for me to see poppy as part of the creepy side of youtube after this, her music and art style was never super outlandish to me anyway shes always just been expressing herself. fortunately shes since ditched titanic and has been working to reclaim her career and move past things and for mars argo it seems like her career never recovered from titanic but i think she won a lawsuit against him and poppy? so hopefully that was a win for her, and maybe shes enjoying not being in the limelight now, we can hope. poppy still makes music if anyone is interested though!

You forgot to mention that Kate yup literally broke her teeth in her video, she acknowledged it but continue eating. And then another of her teeth broke, yet she continue eating. It was disturbing how non chalant she is.

[@peytonkirk106]

You know if her teeth break a lot it could add to the possibility of her having an eating disorder. The acid from throwing up breaks down the teeth and bulimics (just saying bulimia generally, as there are lots of eating disorders out there but what with the amount Kate would eat it’s possibly she may have been in the practice of purging, maybe after recording) often have really brittle teeth as a result of the constant throwing up.

Hey babies, the story of poppy is actually very misconstrued in this video. To no fault of the creators! Poppy's channel used to have tons of videos just like the sunglasses one, but most of them have since been deleted for really dark reasons. Long story short, poppy is actual a normal girl who was an aspiring pop star and ended up getting roped into an abusive romantic/professional relationship with a really fucked up manger type person. Her story crosses over with that of Mars Argo because they actually had the same manager and based on the appearance of the man in the sunglasses video, it looks like the man was designed to look like him. The story itself is incredibly interesting and really gives her old videos an even deeper sense of unease.

About Poppy: This was in reference to some of her first videos, which were more unsettling and nonsensical (still not very bad). During this time, her (I THINK it was her manager) was manipulating and controlling her in order for her to behave in such an odd way. At least, that's what I heard.

Even though, I'm a little weak of heart and am always affected by the creepy KZbin stuff. But once in a while, I'm intrigued by this stuff and start watching until I'm grossed.

I loved it.

[@juvedoo99]

The Canal 5 is actually pretty on point for that channel. I lived in Mexico for several years and that channel would often have film shorts that were disturbing and just overall weird. This was way back in the late 90s early 00s. The videos were avant-garde type of art. Makes sense now that social media is prevalent that they would use it to show these films. Mexico has a history with avant-garde art.

[@semillas8347]

Jack Stauber is one of my favorite artists, his videos have really deep meaning when you look at it, for example his song Coffee; it’s about addiction. One of the lyrics goes ‘I can make you feel alive! I know, but do i need you to survive?’ I think him doing these videos are really cool and it’s fun trying to find the meanings and all the theories in the comments :)

[@fionaquinn8569]

I have the exact same issue. I find these topics so interesting, but they do make me extremely anxious (having an anxiety disorder doesn't help me either). Usually the reason they make me anxious is because I get too immersed into the film, which makes it feel so real. So to break that immersion, I break the fourth wall for myself. Start thinking of the film as an art piece, wonder about the message of the film, critique the actors, admire the lighting and props, think about how much money it took to make it.. etc My personal favourite for when a scene is overwhelming is to think, "The only thing that actor cares about is the left over spaghetti he's going to have for dinner tonight."

[@roadtriiip]

32:23 thatpoppy (or poppy) used to be a long-running ARG, but from what i remember the guy running it was genuinely abusing/mistreating poppy (or the actress shown on-camera playing as poppy) and when word finally got out that she was being hurt the whole game was stopped in order to get the previously mentioned abuser fired and/or arrested the reason you can't find anything creepy or arg-related anymore is because the game is over and the related videos are both now irrelevant and possibly painful for poppy to look back on, meaning they're mostly deleted as she's now started her own business (i think?) and is sort of doing her own art projects and music now

The main thing about Poppy is that people didn't always know about her career as a singer. At the beginning she just posted very random and eerie videos that out of context were considered creepy (to me the creepiest ones involved the mannequin). Once people started to know about her career everything became clearer and her eerie videos were seen as marketing, before that she was considered somewhat of a mystery.

[@ketchup8965]

I like the way in your style of content, you talk about the topics in a normal way as if you’re having a conversation with the listener. Im a big fan of channels like Nick Crowley, but with the eerie music and voice for extra effect (which I dig don’t get me wrong), when it comes to watching iceberg videos when I’m studying I can’t help feeling a little uneasy with my headphones on and my back to the door. So thanks for the lovely music and relaxing tone of voice :)

I don’t expect the people who overview these icebergs to spend hours analysing every single entry, but I believe you were too quick to write off many of the entries as “just an art project” or “nonsensical” or “not very creepy” when the actual horror comes from what the project represents.

[@sleeplessstudios7626]

Alan Tutorials freaked me out in particular because the little white room he's trapped in for the last half is almost exactly like this thing my elementary school had as a punishment. I went to a public school that had a special needs program. The special needs program advertised itself as a friendly, welcoming, and caring group that'll help your autistic child flourish in elementary school. When in reality, they were abus!ve. When you misbehaved, got upset, argued, fell asleep in class, or do anything they didn't like, the teachers would drag you into this room called the Intervention room. It was a blank, white room with padding on the walls. It was designed to basically be sensory deprivation. The room had two corners and a closet sized lockable room called the Isolation Booth. That isolation booth looks EXACTLY like the room Alan is trapped in around the end of his tutorials. Almost picture perfect, aside from him actually being allowed to have stuff in there. I wasn't even allowed shoes. TL;DR: Alan Tutorials gives me PTSD.

benjamin is incredible, like, i don‘t really get the purpose of his videos but he‘s so dedicated, i‘ve never seen anything like this before

[@minty2_b]

Most of Jack Stauber's music videos/songs have meanings behind them. Goldie is about old age, Bumblebees Are Out is about child abuse, New Normal is about Covid, Baby Hotline is about suicide, and there's even more than that. He's very talented and also criminally underrated.

[@shuhratkessikbayev8886]

Dude just imagined being a random nobody and being unfortunate enough to break into Benjamin's house while he's recording a Sitting and Smiling video late at night in a pitch black room with the only light being a dim light shade with a lone camera standing in front of him. I actually felt bad for the intruder which is the first time I'd ever say that

[@oomphlagwumpla650]

The first thought of me watching the "I feel fantastic" is just about an animatronic testing itself and the zoom-in is just the animatronic zooming in to test it's "sight"

[@alexhop1143]

I remember some older kids recommending me to watch salad fingers when I was like 7. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep well for a month, I lost computer privileges, and was not allowed around those kids anymore.

[@Freelance_Fandom_Collector]

@sharkie it’s just pretty unnerving and can get bloody. It’s hard to describe, but I do recommend it if you don’t mind getting spooked :) Or you could watch a theory or there may even be a summary out there, if you don’t want to watch it.

[@Freelance_Fandom_Collector]

@sharkie alright! Do be careful though, and don’t continue watching if you get uncomfortable because chances are it’ll get worse from that point.

[@jaders756]

Hearing you mention the Toy Story Secrets caught my attention, that was literally the first “screamer” video I ever encountered. I can never hear “You got a Friend in Me” without bracing for the scream.

[@cadaver_x]

i love these iceberg videos because no matter how many i watch, i always learn something new. i've been listening to stolen babies since ~2009 and have known about the blank man soup video for a while and had NO IDEA that there was any correlation between such an obscure band and this obscure video. this is what always keeps me coming back for more and shows that even we ravenous media consumers don't know how wide or deep the iceberg truly is. well done.

[@flobwad]

24:41 _The Goddess Bunny_ was actually a transgender woman who was a dancer, actress, model, and drag performer named Sadie Crisp. She has that appearance due to, as you said, polio, however Sadie unfortunately passed away back in 2021, at the age of 61. She’s a very unsung LGBTQ icon, and it saddens me that her most known legacy comes from some viral video that creeped people out. Weird Trivia: Sadie had a brief cameo in the music video for “The Dope Show” by Marilyn Manson in 1999.

[@DelanoSeven7]

Wasn't it SANDIE, not sadie ?

[@aschetrash9878]

Poppy’s videos have had a drastic change from when the iceberg was made. She used to upload creepier videos due to her channel being an art project of her ex boyfriend and manager, Titanic Sinclair (who also used to work with Mars Argo for the same reasons) the whole story was that poppy was meant to be a robot/AI/computer/the internet itself. Poppy has since stopped making that content after breaking up with Titanic Sinclair and no longer working with him as her manager due to him being physically and emotionally abusive towards her. She also has had a change in music style since this, moving from pop, to rock, to metal, and continuing to experiment with her music now that she has the freedom to do so.

[@lilsquiddle1964]

The fact that I skipped an ad at the beginning and then got 2 unskippable ads should be on this iceberg.

[@boldandbrashbelongsinthetr3016]

i remember my older cousin showed me the “obey the walrus” vid and it freaked me out so bad it scarred me until now, I was like 12 when my cousin showed me the clip and now im 16 and it isnt so spooky anymore

[@Uhhneri]

Bro I'm looking everywhere for someone to explain this to me without seeing anything related to it. Can you please tell me what this is?

[@themostrandomestuser]

i first watched obey the walrus when i 7 and i watched it like 5 times then i showed it to my older brother. i was so scared after that and ive been scared of the video for years, i even had a nightmare about the person in it twice. i guess now im not that scared of it anymore but im never watching it ever again.

[@themostrandomestuser]

@@Uhhneri they explain it in this iceberg video but ill tell you here because it contains footage of the video. the video is a disabled person who has polio dancing to a distorted version of the itsy bitsy spider with a dim rainbow filter. in this iceberg video they said that the clip was taken from a documentary called the goddess bunny. i guess thats about it. i got this information from this video (i scrolled down to where i could only see the captions because i vowed to never watch obey the walrus ever again)

[@Banananyaners]

Omg my video got paused after you said something about 3am, so in the middle of your statement I thought you were trying a new scare factor, then my phone shut off and my airpod disconnected, then I got even more scared, until I realized it was just my phone dying. I was legit sweating the entire time because I thought you were gonna jump scare me lol.

[@mayonnaise2325]

Jack stauber is insanely creative and awesome and you just can’t say otherwise cause he has amazing music and art

I really appreciate your adoption of Unfiction 💖 I always thought it was the best descriptor for those types of things

[@theorist]

Its the only way to describe that type of content honestly

[@milogtcollege]

When I was really young (5 or 6), my mother had found the ghostly car jumpscare video browsing the Internet, and had shown it to me as a prank (under the disguise that it was just an old car ad since I was into cars.. still am). She didn't have bad intentions, just wanted to give me a spook. I started fucking bawling.

"the video is fairly normal for the first 4 hours" jesus this line fisically hurts

[@quitecontrary.]

I watched this video 1000 times and I’m about to watch it again because I like falling asleep to videos like this :)

[@theorist]

Lets gooo. Ive been hearing this since uploading it. Happy to hear everyone likes it even tho its a reupload

[@ungodlytemptations]

For those wanting more content like Salad Fingers, I can't recommend "INTERFACE" enough.

[@HHPYE42]

I’m not a huge fan of horror or anything like that, and I’m usually freaked out by gore. But I have to say, don’t hug me I’m scared is an absolutely great series. Espically the new tv show. One of my personal favorites

[@lifeotms]

a few years back my family (on maybe Christmas eve) was gathered in the living room watching KZbin on the tv. we were watching old commercials from 80s/90s and my dad saw something to do with max headroom. He closed out of the vid and looked up the video of doctor who broadcast interruption and he was talking about how it scared him while watching when it was live.

[@suey-suitu]

This video sent me spiraling down a rabbit hole with Petscop. I remember having seen some of the videos a few years back, but... Yeah. Finally, after 2 days being deep in the Petscop lore, I'm back to finish this video.

[@Kwisbyfwy223]

Yeah matpat covers petscop pretty well, I think.

[@veraisntreal]

I'm a fan of Jack Stauber, and he's pretty cool. His music is nice and he's not a scary dude at all. He's more just unique.

[@aswope6051]

If you are a fan of listening to creepypasta, IMO, Creepsin is BY FAR the best narrator I have come across on YT. His delivery is perfectly engaging and atmospheric for this type of narration/audio book type of listening. Good stuff. Creepsin

[@radio_cooking_ghost]

about Lasagna Cat, i recently watched a video about the creepy side of the garfield fandom and now i'm pretty sure the video series is less about life and death and more about John Arbuckle (Garfield's owner in-series) and Jim Davis. John had a comic strip dedicated to him just before Garfield's creation (the cat was present in the comic, but John was the main character). after people seemed to prefer the strips featuring Garf, the comic turned into the Garfield we know. the thing about that is, Jim Davis kind of made John to represent himself a bit. once it started to focus on Garfield, it gained a single repetitive joke throughout the whole series: "John is pathetic." it becomes more obvious when you photoshop the cat out of the picture. it becomes John just sadly lamenting his own life, which is what he sees (since he can't see Garfield's thought bubbles like we can). in that sense, the series is about a lonely man, down on his luck, talking to his cat. the last Lasagna Cat video really was about how John is always going to be the butt of the joke for the rest of time, and Garfield is going to outlive it's creator. even when you think "it'll stop eventually," it doesn't.

[@rodolfoleon4538]

for the disturbing media could you include the mlp cupcakes video. just saying it was well known for a small time and pretty disturbing to watch since it did include canibalism and somehow made it onto youtube

[@theorist]

Ooo. Ill add it to the list!

[@rodolfoleon4538]

@@theorist also a couple of other videos i'd like to recomend are the following: battington harmony and horror, Rated-R wonky willy by corridor, martin walls, chimpy chippas by springtock pictures, and finally 조시푸 jo_sipu. have a look at all of them because trust me they are disturbing and pretty interesting to watch

Yoo, its the same person who directed "Smile HD"!

A fact about the Blank Room Soup video: The soup that the guy was drinking/*eating* is his wife and children chopped and cooked and he was forced to eat it. And another theory is that the guy that lunged at the man, he was chopped and then eaten by the figures. They said it was a good taste.

For the white room soup, there is a theory that the soup was actually parts of his dead wife and daughter and he was forced to eat it

[@qinggeliu5930]

i heard somewhere that in Blank Room soup, the soup was actually made of the man's wife and child

[@Ciarasoup]

That’s just some random internet theory,hasn’t been confirmed or anything but the creator of the costumes is really suspicious and is probably lying about something or other.

Right as you said in the middle of the video again that there will be no jumpscares, my headphones yelled "recharge" and I sh*t myself 😭🖐️
