Y-Titty

Y-Titty [waɪˈtɪti] was a German comedy trio that was primarily active on the video portal YouTube.

The trio worked in their projects as actors, musicians, presenters, video game commentators, producers, authors and designers.

Y-Titty consisted of: While the videos were initially shot as a leisure activity in the Hilpoltstein area, the clips were later produced by Cologne-based Mediakraft Networks GmbH.

Y-Titty had been a YouTube partner since 2009, which meant they earned money through advertising that was shown before the actual videos were played.

Communication with fans took place via social networks such as Facebook and Twitter[6] as well as the comments under the videos that were answered in commentary shows, which they called "KomKomShow".

[7] Y-Titty mainly produced song parodies, short clips, trailers for alleged film adaptations of iPhone apps, real-life computer games (GTA, Skyrim and Call of Duty) and videos about apparently new Apple products.

In addition, making-ofs and so-called one-takers (video clips without cuts) in which they provide information about current projects or the like were uploaded.

At first, videos were only published sporadically until the television station Premiere became aware of the Hilpoltstein duo and shot a pilot film with them.

The trio had its breakthrough with parodies of Eminem and Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie" and the novel adaptations of Twilight and became known to a wider public.

The channel DieJungs was also founded on December 17, 2010,[9] on which they published web shows, vlogs and behind-the-scenes videos.

This was first uploaded after the parody of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" and then posted every Wednesday, in which the YouTubers reacted to comments on the respective sketch.

On February 7, 2012, the comedy trio was a guest on the Harald Schmidt Show, where they announced that they had recorded around 10,000,000 video views in the previous month alone.

[14] On September 25, 2012, Y-Titty published the NICHT-book, which it had already advertised and posted a video about the creation of the book on DieJungs.

On November 30, 2012, the third single, Fest der Liebe, was released and entered the German charts at number 27.

In spring 2013, Y-Titty was nominated for the Echo in the category "National Best Music Video" with Der letzte Sommer, but they did not win.

On October 12, 2013, OG and TC took part in Stefan Raab's Stock Car Crash Challenge.

The first three channels were chosen by the trio, SpaceBoyz won a preliminary round in which all viewers were allowed to submit a video.

From mid-February to mid-March 2014, the comedy trio held its first major tour with their debut album Stricksocken Swagger through Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

On March 27, the three comedians won the Echo 2014, which was awarded via internet voting, in the category Best National Video for the song Halt dein Maul.

[25] On March 25, 2014, the ARD series Report Mainz accused the trio of product placement and editorially integrated advertising for brands such as Samsung, Coca-Cola and McDonald's without adequate labeling.
