About
What Happened to Mister Shit? or What Happened to Mr. Shit? refers to a parody YouTube video thumbnail designed to satirize long and vapid YouTube video essays about influencer career decline and controversy. It was originally posted by Tumblr user ashyslashyy in early 2024, who captioned it, "why is half of youtube filled with 47 minute long videos that look like this?" The thumbnail shows a white guy smiling with his eyes censored and glitching silhouettes layered behind him. The meme spread across Twitter / X and Reddit (among other sites) in 2024. Many users agreed with the criticism, spawning the slang term Mister Shit Videos or Mr. Shit Videos to describe the genre of video essays being parodied.
