TGFbro

Background

TGFbro is a dormant British YouTube channel created in 2012 by Jay Swingler and Romell Henry. As of 2022, the channel has over 6 million subscribers. It is mainly known for its videos that contain surreal humor as well as stunts. Due to the extreme nature of their videos at times, they have been the subject of various controversies; two notable examples are "I Cemented My Head In A Microwave" and "Extreme Driving Test", the latter of which ultimately led to TGFbro's dormancy. Today, Jay and Romell continue to make videos, albeit on their own channels.

1st Logo (May 29, 2012-August 30, 2012)

Logo: On a white gradient background, a circle abruptly settles into position. Inside said circle are the words "TGF" and "BRO", both of which are in a tall, bold font. The former is black, while the latter only has its outline shown. In between both of them is a black line. A simplistic drawing of a crowd of children, all of whom have their arms outstretched, appears on the bottom of the screen before we fade out.

Variant: A prototype version exists, where the crowd of children is omitted.

Technique: 2D digital animation.

Music/Sounds: A loud crash when the logo appears, followed by children shouting "YAY!" (both are stock sound effects).

Availability: It first appeared on "The Chili Challenge (Scotch Bonnet)" and last appeared on "Slender Game Reaction Video".

2nd Logo (September 11, 2012-November 12, 2012)

Logo: On a street (some notable things in it are people walking, a multitude of trees, and a cinder block wall), a skateboard slides in from the left of the screen; on the skateboard sits a figure made of wood. The figure's arms and head are slightly rounded in shape, though its legs are blockier. Additionally, its torso has vertexes on the top. The figure's face consists of two gold beads, dark red lines on the top, and a narrow smile (also dark red). It also sports a top hat. The bold words "TGF" and "BRO" (in white and black respectively) appear one-by-one. We fade to black afterwards.

Technique: Most of it is live-action, sans the text.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of the skateboard, followed by a very whimsical tune.

Availability: It has only appeared on "Interviewing The Public #2" and "A Day Out at The Hospital".
