YouTube is a character and the antagonist of Animation vs. YouTube. It is a facial personification of the website, being able to control all of its offered features against any adversaries. YouTube later makes a cameo appearance in The Showdown, appearing on a thumbnail for "Animation vs. YouTube" while The Chosen One and The Dark Lord are fighting on the YouTube website.
Powers & Abilities
- Body part generation: YouTube can generate hands, via the use of Likes & Dislikes. It can also generate unlimited extra hands, and other objects, with Annotations. It can use these offensively and defensively. However, this can be stopped if the Like & Dislike buttons are destroyed and the annotations are disabled. Despite its face having to stay in the player box, YouTube can move its hands anywhere on the webpage.
- Video manipulation: YouTube can manipulate the videos on YouTube and use them to its own will, as it uses the videos to block the stick figures from reaching buttons such as 'Exit Full-Screen' and 'Toggle Annotations'. It can take control of any video, which means it doesn't need to click on it with its hands, similar to keyboard shortcuts. YouTube skillfully uses people's lines in videos, to communicate with the stick figures, which includes making noises of pain whenever it gets hurt. It uses this ability to manipulate the videos so that it causes direct damage to the stick figures. This ability is only activated when YouTube is desperately trying to do something.
- Full regeneration: YouTube cannot fix itself this way, but if someone else presses the refresh icon, then it can be restored to its original status. This happens twice in Animation vs. YouTube, once in the middle and once at the end.
Weaknesses & Disabilities
- YouTube has no control over the ad pop-ups, as seen from when an advert showed up. YouTube also has to wait for the timer to skip the ad. An ad pop-up was also used against it, when The Second Coming used the pop-up to smash one of the Like hands.
- YouTube can't attack entities when they are uploaded as a video, as shown when Green was uploaded onto the website. This was shown when YouTube tried to punch Green repeatedly, but nothing was happening until Green split the player box. This lead to YouTube's defeat.
- If YouTube's Like and Dislike hands are hit a couple of times with something heavy (like the stick figures' couch for example), they will shake violently then explode.
- If the video is not in full screen, the stick figures can escape.
