Xploshi

Xploshi is a youtuber content creator that has made a number of strange cartoon videos, as well as videos in the Tv Commercial/PSA genre of Analog Horror.

A Chat With The Sun
A Chat With The Sun is the first video on the channel to take on elements of analog horror, though the majority of the video isn't particularly unnerving or disturbing. Instead, the 1:01 minute long clip revolves around a cartoon sun talking about it's low self esteem issues. Towards the very end of the video, the sun will abruptly become distorted as it glitches and the film cuts to a solid blue screen, indicating this to be the end of a VHS tape.

Thanks For playing!
Thanks For Playing! is the first video that takes on a live action approach. The video begins with the camera pointing at a tv screen, getting a 1st person view of someone playing a Mario game, when suddenly the screen goes completely black and the lighting of the room turns dark red. Loud sympathized chimes can be heard like those commonly used during the start ups of video game systems, before a loud, disembodied voice explains:

"Your 17 year trail is nearing its conclusion, please prepare to give up your vessel"

The Tv screen will then change to display the sentence "Your free trail of life will expire in_" with a countdown right below. The person looks around frantically before zooming in on the Tv screen as the countdown is completed. Upon reaching 0, the screen changes to a black screen with red text reading "Thanks For Playing!", and the person will appear to collapse before the video glitches out.

The final segment of the film appears to feature some sort of "Give up or try again" video game screen, asking the viewer if they wish to register for another 17 year trail on Earth or apply for a full lifespan. At the very end of the video, the free trail option is selected and the text changes to:

"All set? It's almost your time! There are currently 84,552,664,275 souls waiting in front of you."

The Simpson: A Life Well Wasted
The Simpson: A Life Well Wasted appears to be a short, cheaply animated youtube poop parodying the tv show "The Simsons", where Homer Simpson is searching for his family. After kicking a hole through his door to search outside, Homer encounters his neighbor Ned Flanders, who appears to be trimming his bushes. Homer asks Flanders if he has seen his family, to which Flanders replies"

"They're gone Homer. They left you behind. Simply put, you could no longer provide for them."

Homer is distraught and refuses to believe this, to which Flanders responds with vocoded audio:

"If i'm lying, then why are you crying?"



Ménage Man: The Last Straw
Menage Man: The Last Straw appears to be a short youtube poop episode of Family Guy. This video opens with what appears to be the definition of the word "Ménage", which is a synonym for household or family. After this the video transitions to Peter Griffin sitting in the living room before he encourages his dog Brian to talk a walk outside. Brian agrees before adding "I hope I'm not demolished by a dangerous speeding vehicle" perhaps referencing the Family Episode where Brain is run over and dies. The video then transition to Brian standing in the middle of an intersection with dozens of speeding cars. Brian is then struck by Joe Swanson speeding in his wheelchair, and upon impact Joe is disintegrated; Brian then sheds a tear.

The video then cuts back to Peter in the living room being berated by his wife Lois for forgetting to feed the baby. Baby Stewie is seen glitching momentarily before crumpling and reforming into a tombstone. Upon seeing this, Peter laughs nervously and tries to trigger one of his famous cut away gags by saying "This reminds me of the time when I-" before being cut off by Lois who says:

"Too long have I doubted your ineptitude, husband!"

She then proceeds to kick Peter out the window and all the way into space and onto the moon. Upon landing seemingly dead on the moon, a bible verse appears in white text above Peter, and a disembodied voice will read out:

"anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."

-Timothy 5:8

Given that both these adult cartoons feature father characters that make questionable moral decisions when it comes to their family's safety and well being, it could be assumed that these shorts are a dark parody of the values espoused by these shows.

CURSED VHS SHORTS COMPILATION: 2020 | Xploshi
CURSED VHS SHORTS COMPILATION: 2020 | Xploshi is a video showcasing all the vhs shorts made by xploshi in the year 2020. While these videos tend to fall more on the youtube poop side of the genre, being short parodies of various cartoons, they share an unnerving uncanniness that contributes to the horror themes of the channel.

Violent Vincent Ringtone Commercial
In the video Violent Vincent Ringtone Commercial, a dancing one eyed alien holding a gun sings about threatening to kill the viewer. The video appears to be a tv commercial from the mid 2000's targeted at kids, advertising the Im Going To Kill Your Family ringtone by Vincent Violent Ring Tones. In order to get said ringtone, one must text RUN to the phone number 866-66. At the bottom of the screen, a disclaimer can be seen reading:

"Do not use the ringtunez service if you value the current condition of your vital organs. Organs susceptible to the side effects of ringtunez are as follows: spleen, left kidney, right lung, inner cardiac valve, pancreas, other. Ask a parent before going online."

TEETH - What is it?
The video TEETH - What is it? appears to be another video in the commercial style of analog horror, supposedly dating back to the year 1993. In this infomercial, a Dr. Dantridand promotes his Dantridand dental technology, though as the video progresses, the ostensibly proffesional and educational presentation of the video shifts into an unsettling and incoherent explanation of the dental technology created by Dr. Dantridand, primarily focused on the application of Dr,Dantridand's Miracle Soak which when applied, allows the user to maintain dental hygiene without ever have to brush their teeth again.

In order to apply this Miracle Soak however, the video instructs the viewer to remove all of their teeth in order to soak them in the mixture, and then reinsert them back into their mouth, a procedure the video acknowledges will be extremely painful continues to describe it as necessary.

Luigi Personality Quiz
Luigi Personality Quiz is ostensibly an old shareware game found on Xploshi's computer. She describes it as "so hacking spookerino" that she HAD to share it with her viewers. In actuality, the video is described as a "blatant parody" of all the usual analog horror tropes in one video. The video begins with an Indago Interactive logo, then switches to a disclaimer telling the player that:

"By pressing BEGIN, you acknowledge the possibility of organ failure, muscle spasms, and violent hallucinations."

Once the player begins the game, they are given a series of questions typical of an ordinary personality quiz, however as the game progresses, the questions become more strange, personal, and sinister in nature. The video will also become distorted at random moments, twisted the Mario characters into disturbing ghostly figures. The quiz concludes after the players heart rate is somehow measured by the game, and the player is given the following diagnoses:

"Player thinks it is better than other people. Player spends an alarming amount of time convincing itself of it's own innocence. Player knows it is not innocent. Are you happy living like this?"

Spectrephone Tv Advert
Spectrephone Tv Advert appears to be a tv infomercial promoting a "consumer friendly" technology created by Soulcorp, known as the Spectrephone Imparting Terminal.

This device is explained to be capable of summoning the souls of the deceased via the placement of the dead's ashes into a funnel and projecting their "faces" onto an "output monitor" which bears a design similar to old UHF dial televisions. The dial on this device is used to adjust the frequency in order to enable plane to plane communication. This device is advertised as a way to communicate with deceased family members and loved ones via a microphone, in order to avoid the feeling of grief that comes with death.

A troubleshooting segment constitutes the second half of the advertisement and goes on to explain problems which may arrive when trying to communicate with a "Damaged Soul". These souls can be the souls of those who "died in unrelenting agony, with a late-stage neurological disorder, or those with ashes that are partially missing or contain debris".

Damaged souls are described as unpredictable, incoherent, and usually visualized in red, whereas complete souls will be visualized in yellow." Viewers are instructed not attempt to engaging with damaged souls. Instead, severing the connection is encouraged, and the viewer is cautioned that the longer they remain connected to the damaged soul, the more agitated the soul will become, and possibly escalate the situation into a "Collapse Event". The video ends with the logo of Soulcorp and the motto "Helping you say goodbye to goodbyes" in cursive beneath it.
