Bring out your autism bingo cards folks, because we're going for a blackout. I may have already used that joke in a previous post here.
Logophile Spotlight: Liam "bluetennant1998" Salisbury
Liam Salisbury is a 17-18 year old Kiwi (the New Zealand kind). His vices include Doctor Who, The Wiggles, The Sims, and creepypasta. His favorite television logo is the
Village Roadshow one. He has uploaded a staggering
954 videos and counting to YouTube, most of them being... well... shit like this:
"Strong Feelings for Hunter", a 30-part Doctor Who fan episode created in a Spyro the Dragon game.
He's been at this game for some time as some of his earliest uploads from 2012 mention that they are reuploads from 2010-2011, meaning that Salisbury got hooked on logos at a young age and thanks to autism he's probably not going to give it up any time soon. Salisbury is the final form of logophilia, as he is literally a combination of all three previous Logophile Spotlights all rolled up into one weird as shit kid.
Remember Dave Madson, the "logo bloopers" guy who made 92 episodes of the Looney Tunes logo doing the most autistic shit imaginable? Meet that man's #1 fan. Picking up where Madson's legacy left off, Salisbury created
a sequel to the "Screen Gems S From Hell Bloopers". Stick around until 1:15 for the funniest goddamn thing I've seen this week.
That's not all, though. Madson also had a running gag called "
Fugitive Television" that I didn't cover in my previous post. Salisbury took the notion of the "Television" portion of "Paramount Television" running away and
just went apeshit with it.
Oh, by the way, Salisbury made
his own Looney Tunes logo video, too.
Two of them. No wait,
three.
Make that four.
Let me be straight with you, I don't know who The Wiggles are or anything about them. I was about 20 years too old for their song and dance by the time they came around. The most I know about The Wiggles is from
this near decade-old video uploaded at the dawn of YouTube. Salisbury seems to love them, though, and created whatever the fuck that thing up there is. "Greg Wiggle"? Are their names "Wiggle"? Why is Greg selling me an Apple computer running Windows? What the fuck is even happening anymore?
Also yes that's GoAnimate. Salisbury is one of
those autists.
Here's
another Wiggles video he's created. This one is some kind of news report about a "Tim Wiggle"? I can't understand what Bugs fucking Bunny is saying -- or why he's the one delivering the news -- but what confuses me more is the presence of the black dude and the blue guy as one of the Wiggles. Aren't all of The Wiggles a bunch of white dudes?
Here's an airline safety video for New Zealand Airlines featuring The Wiggles that Salisbury made in GoAnimate. Typing that sentence was about as hard as it was watching the video.
A "dream logo" is a lot like a "dream team" in sports; take your favorite all-star players, put them all together, and you can't lose. The same works with logos; take the ones you like, smash them all together into a cacophony of animations and sounds and you'll end up with the "dream logo" above that combines DIC and BBC into the type of thing you'd see at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog if it aired across the pond. DIC and BBC? DTF? ASL? KTHXBYE. (Also be sure to check out the comment from SegaGamer28 on that video.)
Salisbury has also done some "remakes" of logos, namely the simplistic ones that can easily be redone using Windows Paint and Windows Movie Maker. The results are on par with what you'd expect; Salisbury is the only person I know who can make a letter "S" look like
a football that got hit with a lawnmower. In what I can only call, pound for pound, the most autistic thing possible, Salisbury remade the Viacom "V of Doom" logo.
In GoAnimate.
Also, for someone who lives in the UK he sure does have a weird obsession with
a markedly American brand of television.
Recently, Salisbury has taken up creepypasta as a hobby. In the video above, you can pretty much tell he did this on a whim one day by downloading a bunch of shit tier creepypasta games, but couldn't quite pull the trigger on that New Super Mario game. He starts this video by singing along to the Sonic theme. Also, "simpsons prank calls".
Salisbury comments on all of his creepypasta videos with a YouTube account named "
SONIC.EXE". I know the account is his, because it has only
one video uploaded and it's a Sims 2 video about kissing... of which Salisbury has a disgustingly large amount of on his primary account.
He plays Sally.exe in this video, though to be honest I'm more interested in looking at that goddamned mess of a desktop. It just cycles through Sims screenshots. He introduces a scarecam in
the video for IHATEYOU.exe where his mug covers up a full quarter of the video. The last creepypasta video he uploaded was...
Minions.exe. We're done here.
In Closing
Dude's fucked. Salisbury is doomed to live a life full of children's cartoons, TV logos, and abandoned computer games. To him, that's heaven since he doesn't know any better. To the rest of us, that's a hell we wouldn't wish on our worst enemies. Maybe ADF, though. Here are some final goodies from bluetennant1998's extensive footprint:
BONUS CONTENT: GANGNAM STYLE
Liam's mother, Esther, has a YouTube channel of her own. Here's a video she uploaded of Liam dancing like a fucking spaz to Gangnam Style. While dressed as Doctor Who.
BONUS CONTENT: DORA THE EXPLORER FUCK DOLL
This probably isn't a fuck doll but I'll be damned if he hasn't at least felt it up once or twice.
in which he called the troll Tim Sun Yei a bastard. To put it in perspective, he did so on a G-rated site.
