Michael saying "No!" is used often in YTPs, the other somewhat more popular alternative being the "No!" from London Airport in which Michael comes across as more defiant and less commanding. We had a teacher who was so strict, you weren't allowed to breathe in her lessons. She used to stand out the front going, "No breathing!" And you had the whole morning to get through. [Takes deep breath and holds it, then exhales.] This is a wonderful and easy reading book combining poetry with mad anecdotes and comical illustrations. The content includes poems such as ‘Unfair’, ‘Strict’, ‘I think’, ‘Cool School’ etc. These titles should capture a child’s curiosity as it is a poetry book written from a child’s perspective. The poems are an introduction to the fun side of rhyme and would be a good introduction to creative poetry and writing. There is a rhythmic feel but the poems do not conform to a strict formula. All have funny anecdotes regarding topics from sport, strict teachers, and escaped class pets to gymnastic traumas. There is one particular poem that I enjoyed called ‘The Register’, Mrs. Riley is trying to get the Class 6 register underway but is also trying to deal with constant interruptions including some easily distracted students, a missing class snail, school dinner issues, funny questions about the class trip which all combine in making Mrs. Riley a very disheveled and crazed looking teacher. Michael holding his breath for the first time is used sometimes in YouTube Poops because of how ridiculous he looks, however it is often difficult to fit into the video and generally requires some sort of relation to a storyline.

The whiny kid, "Miss, can I go and do some breathing?" "No, you've got all playtime to do it in!" "Oh, go on Miss, oh go on!" "NO!" As on, with the desk lids. Are you ready? Here we go, hold the breath. (holds breath, pretends to lift up desk lid, puts head underneath, pants a bit, takes head out, and slams desk shut) Boom! Don't slam the desk lid down if you slammed you desk lid down and, "Out! School prison!" there was a school prison underneath the school hall where they used to string us up from the wall bars. Y'know sometimes in old schools you know that's what it was for like this one. (holds hands up, as if hanging to the wall by some chains) FWOP! "Miss, I've been up here for 3 weeks, and there's rats! And they're nibbling my toenails, Miss!" So I figured out if you want to "survive", (twice) the way to do it was to let the desk lid down, really really slowly once more, from the beginnning we've got it all together, now we know how it goes. She says: YouTube Poopers like to use Michael's "survival" moment in their videos because Michael pokes a finger at the side of his head and makes a funny face. Michael being strung up from the wall bars has been used to indicate him being captured, surprised or scared. Michael pretending to quietly close the desk is very often seen in Poops to indicate some sort of physical action. Most iconically, it is used as CaptainPlums' introduction to his videos.It is a book that not only young learners would enjoy but also some poems would be amusing for adults. It is an opportunity to view school life from a child’s perspective and have a laugh at ourselves as adults. The tonal nature of many of Michael's sound effects in this video make them pitch-shiftable and usable as melodic instruments in YTPs. Namely, the whiny kid complaining about breathing and Michael yelling "OUT!" are often used as leads, while Michael saying "Ahh!" and touching the sides of his head is used often used as a higher soprano voice.

According to a live stream, Michael said that this was a made-up story. It was inspired by an actual strict teacher that he had who never had a rule not to breathe. Michael saying "Keel over and die" is used very often in YouTube Poops as many involve characters directly threatening each other's lives. It is arguably the most iconic words taken from this video for Poopers. Ahh! That was a mistake; slamming the desk lid down! If you made a noise with the desk lid, it was... "Out! School Prison!" There was a school prison underneath the school hall where they used to string you up from the wall bars. [Holds hands up, as if hanging to the wall by some chains] FWOP! "Miss, I've been up here for 3 weeks! And there's rats... and they're nibblin' my toenails!" So I figured it out, what you had to do was put your thumb 'round the edge of the desk lid, so when it went down, it didn't make any noise at all. In MechaWeegee91's 12th installment of "Link and the Hyrule Gang", King Harkinian references the story by interrupting Zelda's advice to Link, leaving Link confused.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2022-03-21 08:08:01 Associated-names Paul, Korky, ill Bookplateleaf 0002 Boxid IA40404518 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier
