'''Chef Boyardee''' (commonly shortened to '''"CBoyardee"''') is the internet handle of Eric Shumaker, an amateur animator who was known for his grotesque, surreal YouTube videos. Having previously achieved significant attention for creating the video game ''Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden'', he held an active presence on YouTube until 2014.


==History==
Though his start as a web animator is currently unknown, he first came to prominence in 2011 with the release of the short "Dilbert 2" and its sequel, "Dilbert 3." Both works, parodies of the long-running comic strip ''Dilbert'', became immensely popular on YouTube for their surreal storytelling, uncanny visuals, and dissonant, serene soundtracks. The shorts even caught the attention of ''Dilbert'' creator Scott Adams, who jokingly panned the shorts for depicting Dilbert's shirt pocket on the wrong side of his chest.

The shorts even caught the attention of ''Dilbert'' creator Scott Adams, who jokingly panned the shorts for depicting Dilbert's shirt pocket on the wrong side of his chest.


Following the popularity of the "Dilbert" videos, Schumacker released numerous other animations of a similar style, being either more parodies or entirely original shorts. Some notable videos include "The Football Kid" (a parody of "artsy" short films), "Ghostly Return" (a brief short featuring rapper Tupac Shakur delivering a bizarre monologue) and "Oldest Trick in the Book" (a short that openly mocks the then-incumbent American president George W. Bush, who is trapped in a cage and repeatedly called a "war criminal" by Schumacker). By the time the "CBoyardee" channel was terminated, Schumacker had accumulated over 6,000 subscribers.

In 2013, Schumacker made all of his videos private, apparently ashamed of them. This led to disappointed fans reuploading as many videos as they could before CBoyardee was eventually shut down the following year. When asked about the matter on Twitter a year later, Schumacker stated that he was no longer sure why he shut his channel down. It is currently unknown as to what percentage of Schumacker's videos have survived.

While the reason for this video getting his channel banned is unknown, it is likely that it was in part caused by references in the video to "Karadžić, Lead Your Serbs" (colloquially known as "Remove Kebab"), a 1993 Serbian propaganda video depicting a band of Serbian soldiers performing a song praising Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadžić and threatening violence against Bosnian Muslims, intercut with footage alluding to Bosnia's policies of Serbenization and ethnic cleansing that would culminate in genocide two years later. The video, originally created to improve Serbian forces' morale during the Yugoslav Wars, became popular on the internet in the second half of the 2000's due to the absurd imagery of the band's performance, with many mocking its poor production and aggressively jingoistic overtones. However, the video also gained popularity among white supremacists for its Islamophobic content, and came to be known primarily for this after being referenced by Brenton Harrison Tarrant, the perpetrator of the 2019 Christchurch Mosque Shootings; Tarrant wrote the phrase "remove kebab" on one of the guns used in the Islamophobic mass murder. While Shumaker's video was likely devoid of Islamophobic content (given the time period in which it was produced and released as well as Shumaker's own distaste of the Bush administration's actions during the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars), its ties to the propaganda piece are what most likely resulted in his channel's termination.

Shumaker in 2012.

Status: Partially Lost

Chef Boyardee (commonly shortened to "CBoyardee") is the internet handle of Eric Shumaker, an amateur animator who was known for his grotesque, surreal YouTube videos. Having previously achieved significant attention for creating the video game Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, he held an active presence on YouTube until 2014.

History

Though his start as a web animator is currently unknown, he first came to prominence in 2011 with the release of the short "Dilbert 2" and its sequel, "Dilbert 3." Both works, parodies of the long-running comic strip Dilbert, became immensely popular on YouTube for their surreal storytelling, uncanny visuals, and dissonant, serene soundtracks. The shorts even caught the attention of Dilbert creator Scott Adams, who jokingly panned the shorts for depicting Dilbert's shirt pocket on the wrong side of his chest.

Following the popularity of the "Dilbert" videos, Shumaker released numerous other animations of a similar style, being either more parodies or entirely original shorts. Some notable videos include "The Football Kid" (a parody of "artsy" short films), "Ghostly Return" (a brief short featuring rapper Tupac Shakur delivering a bizarre monologue) and "Oldest Trick in the Book" (a short that openly mocks the then-incumbent American president George W. Bush, who is trapped in a cage and repeatedly called a "war criminal" by Shumaker). By the time the "CBoyardee" channel was terminated, Shumaker had accumulated over 6,000 subscribers.

In 2013, Shumaker made all of his videos private, apparently ashamed of them. This led to disappointed fans reuploading as many videos as they could before CBoyardee was eventually shut down the following year. When asked about the matter on Twitter a year later, Shumaker stated that he was no longer sure why he shut his channel down[1].CBoyardee later explained in a documentary about him that his channel got banned because of a video named "Remove kebab tupac serbia".[2]

While the reason for this video getting his channel banned is unknown, it is likely that it was in part caused by references in the video to "Karadžić, Lead Your Serbs" (colloquially known as "Remove Kebab"), a 1993 Serbian propaganda video depicting a band of Serbian soldiers performing a song praising Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadžić and threatening violence against Bosnian Muslims, intercut with footage alluding to Bosnia's policies of Serbenization and ethnic cleansing that would culminate in genocide two years later.

While Shumaker's video was likely devoid of Islamophobic content (given the time period in which it was produced and released as well as Shumaker's own distaste of the Bush administration's actions during the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars), its ties to the propaganda piece are what most likely resulted in his channel's termination.
