Tom (left) & Don (right)​
Flashgitz, represented by Britbong Thomas "Tom" Edgar Hinchliffe & Amerimutt Donald "Don" Jeremy Greger, are two animators who make silly yet very relatable parodies of existing media, of which most, if not all, retained that charm of old Internet humor, as Tom and Don did come from the older generation of users from the media platform Newgrounds. Their name came from a group of elite units of the Orks faction in Warhammer 40,000. You may know Flashgitz from this viral YouTube video:

Racist Mario​

​
Tom and Don first met on Newgrounds in 2008 and started making comics that are parodies of Warhammer 40,000. They also opened a YouTube channel for their comedy animations on Warhammer 40,000. Here are some of their animations:

Space Hulk​

The Trials of Draigo​

However, their animations on Warhammer 40,000 would come to an end when Games Workshop (GW), the manufacturer of Warhammer 40,000, copyright claimed all of their parodies on their work in their campaign to assert control over fan works. Flashgitz has this to say:

Inside GW​

Following the GW takeover of their works, Flashgitz made animations in other types of media that they enjoyed as kids such as Halo.

Halo Party​

They also made commentary animations on social justice warriors and feminists when criticism against them were very popular in 2016.

TRANSformers​

One of our lolcows StamperTV voiced Starscream.

From 2017 to 2019, Flashgitz went on a hiatus from making animations, as they were busy making a TV show and made vlogs of their development of the series called Show Quest, but their show was cancelled. They also were unable to finish animation and post-production of some of the videos of that they want to do, such as a Legends of Zelda parody.

Show Quest​

Why we never finish anything​

Finally, Flashgitz built a new animation studio and have put out a viral video on Apex Legends and Fortnite and have been putting out funny content consistently since, with a lot of social commentary that people in the Multimedia threads keep talking about.

Apex cucks Fortnite​

Paper Mario creates a Monster​

They also make fun of the lolcow-tier redpill movement.

Here are some of their most prominent YouTube series:

Furry Crusades​

Probably one of the moved beloved on the Kiwi Farms, seeing some of ya'll with profile pictures of scenes from this series, basically what if we can get the Black Templar Space Marine chapter from Warhammer 40,000 to genocide furries (and the world of Sonic the Hedgehog). This is basically the result. I believe GW did not go after Flashgitz like what they did to Warhammer 40,000 animators Sodaz and Syama Pederson of Astartes because Flashgitz's works are parodies of furries that do not take canonically in the universe.

And now their magnum opus, obviously inspired after Astartes

Console Wars​

A parody of the so-called Console Wars, in which fans of corporations Microsoft and Sony fight it out saying that their console is better than the other. Also, fans of the PC shoving their opinion about them being the master race when nobody asked, what pricks!

Cream Crew​

Cream Crew is the podcast that Tom and Don does with fellow collaborator Hunter August Hancock, a.k.a. Meatcanyon, who also does parodies in which he turns famous children's media into horror animated shorts.

And the fact they acknowledged that Hollywood likes to blackwash gingers a lot. The whole parody is a very good explanation of ESG.

Zelda Smash Royale​

This was funny as hell. This was the video that Flashgitz was struggling to push out during Show Quest due to the amount of effort that had to go in this video and it's awesome that they managed to finish it.

Dude it hasn't aged a fucking day. What for it's time was extreme is now tame and "Normal"

I remembered thinking watching the Furry Crusades actively wondering, "How is it that the cancel culture train did not come for them?"

Arguably one of the best artistic and imaginative things I've seen from them.

Yeah I noticed that. They seem to take somewhat edgy stances on issues and get away with it in a time where everyone is offended about everything. Especially stuff that's not even offensive. The outrage mobs seem to only target really big and popular stuff. They at least have a game plan.

I also wonder why. They say faggot in one of their console war videos and it hasn't been taken down.

This is another reason. The majority of the internet is Reddit. I've seen plenty of YouTube and Twitter accounts like Flashgitz go for over a decade without any issues, and plenty of them said the kind of stuff that gets posted on here frequently, just without the slurs. As long as you aren't posting on Reddit/get picked out by the bot moderators that a lot of sites use/don't get an outrage mob attached to you, you'll be fine.

As long you don't become too big and popular you can fly under the radar for a while. But once you get the attention of the mentally unhinged outrage mobs you are screwed. But most people want to become popular and well known.
