<small>" | <small>"In the early days of YouTube, it was a completely different time. You got fetish videos, no age restrictions, no removals, something you can't believe now. I am not joking, there were more videos of women farting than there were of YTP (as in the video remixes later known as YTP, SuperYoshi, etc, I think YTP was part of the shift on YouTube regarding content). All publicly there."<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-youre-crrrrrrrraaaaaaaaazy-hamboogeuuuurreee-uncontrollable-sobbing.30/post-52021</ref></small> | ||
The match was intended to go to Round 10, but conradslater declared the match completed when his final turn came around, considering RabbitSnore's Round 9, "Syphozoa Synthesis"(2007), to be an appropriate finale to the match.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/2.html#post-3528278</ref> The match is tremendously experimental and challenging even for its era, with the final two rounds taking up about 10 minutes of the 25 minute runtime, making for easily the longest match to be played in the first months of tennis as a whole. Most rounds are crafted through longform, gradual edits to the material, with Rabbit's rounds in particular opting for PiP framing for multiple segments that are then repeated in unison for minutes at a time. Conrad's Round 6 creates the largest pivot in direction the match takes by being made largely up of added footage, with much of the previous round being contained within an introductory montage. The final three rounds all contain footage of Shigeru Miyamoto at the 2005 E3 showcase for the Nintendo Wii, in which he asks to the audience in introducing ''Wii Sports''(Wii, 2006), "Tennis, anyone?" The final round consists of a slow moving tapestry of every previous round in the match reused -- in reference to the long, surreal descriptions uploaded with each round, Rabbit remarked of this round "I think I successfully saddled the jellyfish, but I'll let each person decide that for him- or herself."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/2.html#post-3519880</ref> | The match was intended to go to Round 10, but conradslater declared the match completed when his final turn came around, considering RabbitSnore's Round 9, "Syphozoa Synthesis"(2007), to be an appropriate finale to the match.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/19-tennis-completed/86371-poop-tennis-rabbitsnore-vs-conrad-slater-round-9/2.html#post-3528278</ref> The match is tremendously experimental and challenging even for its era, with the final two rounds taking up about 10 minutes of the 25 minute runtime, making for easily the longest match to be played in the first months of tennis as a whole.
