 You've all seen these types of videos on YouTube. Backroom shorts channels that make these shorts with fake lore, random collabs with famous like cartoon characters, and they have some of the silliest and dumbest AI generated dialogue that I've ever seen in my existence, and I've seen a lot. If you call a backroom's entity the n-word, what happens if a pregnant person enters the backrooms? These channels have skyrocketed in number in the past year specifically, and in this video, I'm gonna be diving into the rise and some of the strangest backroom shorts channels and shorts that there are. I'm here to set the record straight. These things need to be stopped. Now! You didn't hear that voice crack. And you'll see what I mean by that. I made a video talking about a backroom's kids content a few months ago, you know, like last year, and this video is similar to that, but less serious note, you know, that was more of people taking advantage of kids. This is just a video talking about dumb content that is just engagement farming and farming for views. So if you enjoy that kind of thing, and you wanna see the backroom's janitor clean up the platform a little bit, you're in the right place. So the video starts, I ask that you don't, you know, hate on any of these people. Not gonna show their channel names or anything, but I'm gonna talk about their videos and their shorts. Don't go hating on them, just hate the content because it's goofy and silly. This isn't to say that all of their content is bad. Most of it or some of it is horrible. Leave a like if you enjoy. Actually leave a like for my sanity because it's gone after, I mean, I'm less of a human now, I gotta say, losing my mind. So without further talking, let's get into the video. So what is backroom shorts content? Like what is it actually? Now, if you've been in the backroom's fandom for a long time or just a couple of years, here's what you've probably experienced since 2020. You've probably seen my videos and Kane Pixel's videos, perhaps an old Mr. Ferrante video, and maybe another YouTuber or two that does found footages like Velox or that Kibbutg Boy or even ex-backroom. Probably also seen another YouTuber that's done like a one-off backroom's video, like Wendigoon or Nick Crowley or Raimundo or something like that. And really that was all the content that the backroom's had until last year in 2022. For some reason, 2022 was the year where kids' content farms just started to abuse the concept. And as a result, the shorts channels also popped up and began making stuff for the clicks for the engagement. The short-form content didn't just stay on YouTube though. No, of course not. It also found a home on TikTok and on Instagram Reels where it spread its stupidness all across the internet. Now, I'm not trying to take credits or place blame on myself, but in my research, I've actually found that most of these shorts channels didn't even start uploading until my shorts were blowing up at the beginning of 2022. I had this massive blow-up from January to May where my shorts were just going crazy. And it wasn't until after that that these little suckers started popping up. Well, I am sorry if I'm the one that caused this or the one that inspired this. I didn't mean to. I do wanna stress that shorts content for the backrooms is not inherently bad. And backroom's content that pushes the idea of lore or canon is also not inherently bad. For example, my, what if you nuke the backroom shorts series? That is an insanely popular series where it's just interesting. It's more of like a what if thing. Marvel's done it with what if and it's always fun to ask questions and push the boundaries of what the known lore is. Other shorts channels have done the same thing with what if a kid enters the backrooms or something like that. That's different. Those are simple. Those are easy concepts. Those are good concepts. It gets bad when you start taking the likeness of the backrooms and other things and AI generating scripts together to form these conglomerations of terrible videos. That's when the problem starts. So let's look at some of the examples of the shorts that I'm referring to. And let's just see firsthand why they're so bad. And they are so bad that it physically pains me. As usual with the style of videos that I make, I'm gonna start with the least bad ones and then work my way up to the worst ones. Buckle up and get ready. Let's dive into it, shall we? Here's the first one. And this one isn't too bad. It's what if you attend a Christmas party in the backrooms? That's a pretty decent question. Let's see what they have to say. If you attend a Christmas party in the backrooms, there are three things that you have. Three things? Okay. First one, poison and lose your mind. Okay. Everyone is that you will be the brazen in the backrooms is strictly forbidden. So if you go to a party for Christmas in the backrooms, you're either gonna get taken by an entity, poisoned by food or sent to level you cheated. As you can see right off the bat, that wasn't too bad. It's just asking a simple question with a simple answer. It kind of started to stray away with the food stuff and the poison stuff and everything, but at least there were some found footages that they were using to compliment what they were saying. The most annoying part by far, of course, is the AI generated voice that kills me. I don't know why I just can't stand it. But as I said a few minutes ago, it's just gonna get worse from here. So might as well just rip the bandaid off and move on. What if a disabled teen enters the backrooms? Okay, let's see. Disabled person enters the backrooms. Good things will happen. First, he will never get hungry or thirsty. If you don't want to enter the backrooms, like and subscribe. And see right there is the epitome of the problem that I have with this style of content. See asking that question is not, you know, the worst thing ever. It's like, you know, there's disabled people and they want to know about the backrooms. There's probably people that really want to know what happens if a disabled person goes to the backrooms. The issue is when they turn it into something that doesn't make any actual sense. Okay, I know the backrooms isn't supposed to make sense, but at the end there, what was that even, what were they even saying? Was it necessary for that to be said? I don't think so. But no, no, no, no, you know, but I'm sure that it's not gonna get that much worse. You know, what if a disabled person enters the backrooms? That's pretty strange, pretty off the rocker a little bit. I promise you, it gets worse. What if Riggy enters the backrooms? Oh sweet mother of pearl. The Riggy is a children's animated character from a series on YouTube. The series has been going on for about a year and this is on the same level as kind of like what if Bluey was in the backrooms or what if like Huggie Wuggie was in the backrooms? That's what this is for. Let's just see what would happen if old Riggy gets into the backrooms though. If Riggy enters the backrooms on Halloween, some interesting things may occur. Let's see. Firstly, Riggy will be teleported to the level fun of the backrooms or his Halloween party with party creators. Okay. Secondly, due to Riggy. Right there, another problem. Oh, we're about to get some more problems, but the first problem, the AI dialogue is all the time doing typos and mispronunciations and that makes no sense. Okay, if you're gonna use AI, just might as well do it right, you know? Now we're talking about Riggy's criminal record. Record, he doesn't stay there for long and send the cool. What am I listening to, bro? What is this? I'm not even a grammar police person, but like, it makes no sense. If you're gonna do this and put a script in AI, at least use the right punctuation, okay? We already have a failed concept when Riggy enters the backrooms. I know their children's character entering the backrooms. And then the incorrect grammar and the incorrect spelling and it's just a tough watch, man. It also makes no sense from a found footage standpoint. I mean, the footage as they're showing aren't even theirs and, you know, they're not credited anywhere. They're just using random footage with the music and everything to get the engagement. That's all I can see happening. And the issue is these videos have hundreds of thousands of views and likes and comments. But no, again, it'll continue to get worse. What if you fart inside of the backrooms? This is the question that all of us have been wondering, all of us, so let's just watch. Let's just check it out. If you were to fart in the backrooms, some stinky things will happen. Firstly, in the first two minutes, all entities will die because your farts are more nasty than my dad's. Secondly, the entity also known as the fart man will appear and will put a bottle of your... Okay, as we can see there, the random vulgarity, even though it's probably, you know, a bit, it's still vulgar, you know, it's still got 70,000 views. And I always find it interesting that the comments that are getting highlighted are like donated comments. That's just, just interesting to me. But besides that, as you can see, the concepts themselves are losing brain cells each time. They're getting worse and worse and worse. And it's just coming to the point where random stuff is happening. It's what if blank? What, it doesn't matter. There's no rules anymore. As I've said before, I'm really not a stickler for, you know, keeping to the lore and the cannons. But stuff like this, man, what is the purpose of this style of content? What is the intellectual properties gained from this? Because I'm pretty sure that guy's entire channel is a meme making fun of the AI-generated channels, which is actually pretty funny in and of itself. But still, those videos are still getting hundreds of thousands of views. So there's still a market for that style of video, even though it's a parody. That just goes to show how far these backroom short channels have gone. But no, no, no, they can't get worse. There's literally no way in heaven or on earth in which it's gonna get worse. What if you call a backroom's entity the N-word? Like, bro, what is this? And why are people watching this? I don't understand. Here we go. You call a backroom's entity the N-word. Okay. Bad things will happen. Firstly, if it's a white entity. And you know, we'll rewind it in a second, but I've noticed something else with these shorts. A lot of them use all those sound effects and all those clickings and all those, and all those like whooshing sound effects and constant footage changes. And I guess that's just for retention. You know, I guess I just wanna keep this. Many people watching for literally as long as possible. But I guess it's the point where it's like overdone and all of them are doing it now. I think a few of them started doing it and literally all these channels are doing it now. And another issue is it's hard to differentiate and tell the difference between these channels at this point. All the channels that do these shorts post such similar content that it is so hard to see which channel you're watching. And since they're all using AI voices, you can't even tell. On all these channels, you can just scroll down infinitely and you'll see pretty much the same video over and over and over again. You'll see the same exact captions in the same exact place, the same exact person asking the questions. You'll see the same exact stuff across literally all of these channels. I mean, I'm literally showing you three different channels, three different ones. And you can quite literally not even differentiate any of them. They all look the same. There's a fourth one. Completely different channel, all the same. Look at this. The market for this is wild. All using the same exact bombastic faces and edits and every caption and everything's the same. It's literally the same. Copy and paste. Let's try this again. Let's call a back room's entity the end. Okay. Some bad things will happen. Bad things. If it's a white entity, they will not give two shits because let's be honest, white people are always racist to the shopping back room's entities from being the same. Secondly, if it's a black entity, you better start sprinting you dumb back because if not, let's just say they will maul your face off and then eat it like if it was candy. Don't you dare say the N word in the back rooms or you'll be a little kid. You'll still be mauled to death regardless of the color of the entity but it's for getting close to it. To survive the back rooms, like and subscribe. If you call a back room. But I mean literally, I mean that AI voice literally was just saying like almost racial slurs in this video but this is what's happening. Like I said, I'm pretty sure this guy's channel is a parody but even then, dude, the fact that it still gets this many views because it's making fun of something so bad is actually hilarious to me. You might have seen the original upload of this yesterday on Sunday when it came out but I was contacted by ex back room who is another guy that does YouTube shorts for back rooms videos and he's actually one of the OGs. He's literally has been doing this. First one was literally way back. Yeah, April 17th, 2022. So two years ago, he started doing this. He has almost a million subscribers on YouTube and he told me about some other channels that just outright steal his content and his footages that he has and copy the exact style of video he's doing. As you can see, he's been doing this style for the longest by far with these footages and stuff and he pretty much started the like the what if thing in the back rooms and ever since then, there's been several other channels that have been stealing that idea. Channels like this one. Look at this. Almost identical to ex back room. Almost identical to the exact same videos he makes. What about this channel? Almost identical as well. A lot of the same footage he uses right here. Copying his exact thing. And these are new. I haven't mentioned these at all previously in this video. These are all new channels that I found. Look at all these. Here's another channel. Completely different channel. Look at that footage right there. Completely different channel using the exact same footage as ex back room. Completely, these are three different channels that have copied specifically him in the recent months and years. And this is, I mean, this is crazy. They're using the exact same footages, the exact same prompts, the exact same AI voice and everything. And they're just diluting it. I found it. This is the video. Check this out. Give a skibbidi toilet where to enter the back rooms. No, I can't, I can't watch this. I can't do it. I'm sorry. But thanks to ex back room for notifying me about those channels that are pretty much just robbed his entire style. I didn't even realize that he was the first person to do this kind of video. And all those different channels have literally just done similar or the exact same thing to an extent. Shout out ex back room for joining the hunt and cleaning up the YouTube back room space because it's seriously getting messy. I just want to know who is watching this and interacting with this style of content and pushing it to the algorithm. How is it getting these many views, you know? The overdone editing and sound effects. And I know I edit my videos and I do that, you know, kind of in a matpat style. By the way, I miss you matpat already. I'm really excited to see you quit. Just the bombastic, crazy swooshes and whooshes and footages that don't even have anything to relate to the video. They're just these bright and glamorous videos. And then the random dialogue with the captions popping up. And all I'm saying is I started the caption thing. There was nobody doing back room shorts before I did the captions like that. And I feel like I've created a monster. I feel like Dr. Frankenstein and I have created the animal, the monster, the thing that will haunt me in my dream. And we've just scratched the literal surface in this video so far. There's more and it gets worse. No, because as I said, it does not stop at YouTube shorts. Here we are on Instagram. And here is more of the same exact content, just downloaded and re-uploaded onto Instagram. Okay, I'm not gonna log in. Galavan over here to TikTok. Oh, look what it is. It's the exact same content reposted to TikTok. And for some reason, you can check out the views. For some reason, people are watching this all. I mean, it could be the sound effects, could it be the footages, could it be the actual content itself? I don't know and I don't think we'll ever know. You know, and to an extent, I really can't even blame these creators. They found something that they've latched onto and it's blown them up from the short form content. And if you have content that works on three different platforms without having to edit it, specifically for those three different ones, you're golden. You're gonna be famous or popular or whatever on three platforms, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. But in my humble opinion, as a long form YouTube creator, the brain rot of these back rooms themed shorts has to come to an end. It would not be as bad if it wasn't AI generated dialogue and just the stupidest prompts ever. But who knows, maybe one day it'll be fixed, maybe one day, I don't know, maybe one day I'll actually not be five foot. Maybe when the cows come home or the pigs fly, this'll be better. But now leave a like if you are not a fan of these shorts. If you are, again, that's no problem, man. You can be a fan of it. Don't go hating these channels, don't go hating these people. I just think that the style of content is not the best. It's no bueno for me and that's okay. It's preference. I just think it's brain rot to make those kind of videos. As I said, I have a sneaking suspicion that I might have started it with my shorts, so I'm sorry for that. Thank you all so much for watching. If you want more video essay, whatever kind of video this is, leave a like as well and I'll be glad to do them. I love and appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you so much and I will see you in the comment section because I'm sure there's gonna be a ton of civil comments on this video. Thanks so much and peace.
