What The Cut !?
What The Cut !? was a humoristic show created by Antoine Daniel, the first episode of "What The Cut !?" was uploaded on 1 March 2012 on his YouTube channel. The concept of the show comes from Ray William Johnson's Equals Three. When it comes to his humour and staging inspirations, his most obvious references are videographer TomSka and British director Edgar Wright.
In each episode of What The Cut !?, Antoine Daniel analyses three funny, strange or freaky videos, and jokingly comments on them. However, What The Cut !? isn't a French "Equals Three" as Antoine Daniel completely changed the concept. In What The Cut !? he plays a character who speaks very quickly, wildly and sometimes screams. The video editing is very quick and the jokes are completely absurd which explains the show's name: "What the ..." for the absurd, wacky and crazy jokes and humour, and "Cut", for the video editing, which Antoine Daniel considers the most important part of his videos.
After the first couple of videos, episodes were released monthly. However, that schedule couldn't be kept starting with episode #35 since later episode would featured a 5 to 15 minute sketch at the beginning of the video. The 37th and last episode was released on 30 December 2015.
Clyde Vanilla
Clyde Vanilla is a science fiction audio story. The first episode was released on 17 September 2017. The last and tenth episode was released on 19 November 2017.
However, this series wasn't as well received as What The Cut !?. Besides the first episode, all episodes have less than 1 million views compared to the +10 million views[3] later What The Cut !? episodes would get.
