The Barney Bunch

The Barney Bunch is an infamous group consisting of beloved characters from childhood shows, mascots, and the like, turned into ravenously horny homosexuals lead by Drew Pickles. IronYoshi is a particularly big fan of the Barney Bunch, and has made several videos recently on both YouTube and VidLii featuring the Bunch.

Characterisics and History
The Barney Bunch first started as a trolling group on Newgrounds, forming on August 25, 2005. They would spam Flash files of characters, specifically Drew Pickles from Rugrats, Barney the Dinosaur, Ronald McDonald (refered to as the "Penis Clown"), and a cartoon clown with his genitals exposed known as Dick the Clown, accompanied by simple crude backgrounds (with some rare animation sometimes) and very explicit text-to-speech audio, usually using Speakonia, where the characters are depicted as homosexuals and are usually having sex with each other, with exposed genitals, random sounds, and flashing backgrounds.

The reaction from many users across Newgrounds was not very positive to say the least. Some retaliated with "anit-Barney Bunch" flash. Things got to a head when HiT Entertainment, the owners of Barney and Friends, threatened legal action against Newgrounds, and as a result, the word "Barney" was blacklisted from the Newgrounds search engine, and several Barney Bunch members were banned. It would seem that the story ends there, but on March 7, 2007, a Flash submission called "BarneyBunchRevival" was submitted, which showcased a link to their (now long abandoned) website. The group also managed to migrate to YouTube as well, with the first video uploaded there being "Drew Pickles is REALLY REALLY Gay!" by Strawberry Barney on April 20, 2006. Several other videos followed from users like DarthJthm, BooNube, Sammyt3hSnake, SovietBarney, and LtheOriginal. In that time, many of the original Barney Bunch members from Newgrounds disbanded.

Around the same time, the "Drew Pickles Goes To" videos started appearing on YouTube, a series of formulaic videos that consists of Drew visiting a random place (an example beng McDonalds) and causing swell mayhem. Meanwhile, back on Newgrounds, the Barney Bunch uploaded some content on Clock Day, 2007, mainly consisting of random nonsense. By the turn of the decade, the Barney Bunch on YouTube went through a sort of rebirth. As several of the founding YouTube members have either retired, became inactive, or had their channels suspended, several newer members rebranded themselves under the new name of the Speakonia Community, and mainly specialize in Drew Pickles Goes To Videos, Pube Muppet videos, Secret Missing Episodes, and various other things, with the most prolific members at the time being MrCaptainJeff, HappytheHomo45, Pwnisher248, DrewPicklesAintDed69, TomServo3, and DJSwell69.

Over time, the Speakonia Community became active here and there, losing members and gaining some overtime. Several troll attempts were enacted against the community, but often failed or were quickly resolved. The community uploaded content on and off, however, sometime during 2016-2017, some controversy broke out over a Barney Bunch Wiki, and many, dissatisfied with YouTube's newer policies, migrated over to VidLii, where they post on and off content. The Community is still active to this day, though it is merely occasional content from old and new members.

It is not known exactly when IronYoshi first discovered the Barney Bunch, though best estimate would be around 2009, as he has favored several Drew Pickles Goes To videos around that time. It wouldn't be until 2020 that he would begin making Speakonia vidoes and posting them to both YouTube and VidLii, which greatly boosted his activity.
