"STOP IT. THIS IS NOT OKIE-DOKIE." YouTube Rangers is a highly controversial group among the SMG4 fanbase. Reason: The real life controversies of the leader of the group, Starman3. |
The official YouTube Ranger logo
The YouTube Rangers (commonly abbreviated as YTR) is an internet group founded by Starman3 in 2008. The group consists of SM64 Machinimists, indie game developers, musicians, gamers and an array of mere content consumers, of which SuperMarioGlitchy4 was a formerly a member of. Other members of the YTR had made minor cameo appearances in SMG4's bloopers.
SMG4's parodic depiction of the group would serve as precursors to the current Glitchy Gang, who've now succeeded the YTR as the main protagonists of Super Mario 64 Bloopers, which was revamped into simply SMG4.
Background History[]
In 2008, machinimist Starman3 decided to form a group bringing several other blooper makers and such together. The group hit a boom of popularity after recruitment was opened to ROBLOX. Since then, many famous YouTubers (including SuperMarioGlitchy4, and MarioMario54321) joined.
However, possibly due to internal "drama", external conspiracies, and controversies around Starman3, and other related conflicts; the group went downhill in 2014, and currently is reduced to a small convo.
Around 2013 to 2015, YouTube Rangers experienced a lot of fighting which caused many members to leave.
As of 2019, it still exists on Discord.
Notable Members[]
- Starman3 - One of SMG4's former friends and a popular machinimist. One odd thing about him is that he doesn't even get introduced to the characters, everyone just knows who he is. After various controversies his real-life counterpart caused, he has stopped making appearances in SMG4's videos in 2014.
- MarioMario54321 - A machinimist who made Super Mario 64 Bloopers before SMG4 did and is really popular. He tends to show up in cameos in Ssenmodnar videos the most with a running gag being him going up against a serious enemy before the situation is handled easily or something interrupts the fight.
