Oney Plays
About
Oney Plays (named as OneyPlays on YouTube) is a Let’s Play channel created and hosted by Newgrounds and YouTube animator Chris O’Neill (OneyNG), mostly accompanied with his friends Ding Dong and Julian. The channel has been popular for its dark and offensive humor in their commentary, and currently has around 400 thousand subscribers.
Online History
Solo Videos
The series started on May 26, 2014 as a solo project on his secondary channel formerly named “Oney’s Video Hole”, with Dark Souls[1] as the series pilot. Besides his solo series, he occasionally has guests, mostly animator friends such as PsychicPebbles, Egoraptor[2], and Spazkid,
Ding Dong & Julian’s Debut
Ding Dong first appeared on his second episode of Second Life: “Turn off your Music,” but he was first introduced on April 16, 2016 as a guest on his Super Mario 64 Multiplayer Mod playthrough.
Ding Dong was first depicted as a worm-like creature in the video thumbnails of their Chronicles of Mystara playthrough[3].
On August 4th of the same year, Julian Marcel was first introduced as a guest in their Luigi’s Mansion playthrough, together with Ding Dong and SuperMega hosts Matt Watson and Ryan Magee. In the thumbnail, Julian is depicted similar to his actual self, while Ding Dong’s appearance seems similar to a Rabbid. From that video onward, both Ding Dong and Julian became recurring members on most of the channel’s videos.
His connections with Arin Egoraptor Hanson and Ross “RubberNinja” O’Donovan have caused his appearances in Game Grumps, as well as Ding Dong and Julian. The three of them altogether first appeared on May 18, 2017 in the second episode of Doodle Doods, a subseries in the Game Grumps channel. A day after the video was uploaded, they made another appearance in one of the most viewed episodes of Grumpcade, known for its darker tone in humor compared to the usual Game Grumps episodes.
Fandom
Some part of the fanbase came from the fans of Oney’s animation, and many fans of Game Grumps became fans of Oney Plays due to their features in subseries Grumpcade and Doodle Doods. The subreddit /r/OneyPlays was created on July 14, 2014, and currently has more than 8,000 subscribers.[4] Fans have also animated their favorite parts of the channel’s videos.
Totally Tubular Collab
On August 1, 2017, Tumblr and Twitter artist blabberdookie opened the Totally Tubular Collab: an non-profit collaboration project in which the Lord of the Rings DOS episode of the channel will be animated in 5 to 25 second clips by various artists, similar to “Animate-A-Grump” from Game Grumps and “The Mama Luigi Project”.[5]
Reputation
Chris is mostly known as his Newgrounds & YouTube alias “OneyNG”, known for his adult-themed animations on YouTube and for creating the online shows Leo and Satan and Hellbenders (in collaboration with PsychicPebbles.
Julian is also an animator and artist, with both freelance and professional experience.[6] Together with Ding Dong, they launched a Patreon for their independent game development team called Wan Wan Games, with Julian handling the art, and Ding Dong handling the coding[7]. Ding Dong announced the Patreon on March 13, 2017 via Twitter[8].

Dotard
About
Dotard is a word that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un used to describe United States President Donald Trump in a response to Trump’s remarks about Un’s leadership. It means a weak, foolish and/or senile elderly person.[1]
Origin
According to Etymonline,[1]“dotard” was derived in the late-14th century from the word “dote,” meaning feeble-minded from age, and the suffix “-ard,” an intensifier use as a pejorative.
On September 19th, 2017, President Trump delivered a speech at the United Nations regarding North Korea, threatening to “totally destroy” the country and referring to Kim Jong Un as “Rocket Man.”[2]
Two days later, Kim Jong Un responded to Trump’s speech on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) News Service. In the response (video and full speech below), Un said, “I will make the man holding the prerogative of the supreme command in the U.S. pay dearly for his speech[…]Action is the best option in treating the dotard who, hard of hearing, is uttering only what he wants to say.”[3]
“I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U.S. dotard with fire.”
The speech made by the U.S. president in his maiden address on the UN arena in the prevailing serious circumstances, in which the situation on the Korean peninsula has been rendered tense as never before and is inching closer to a touch-and-go state, is arousing worldwide concern.
Shaping the general idea of what he would say, I expected he would make stereo-typed, prepared remarks a little different from what he used to utter in his office on the spur of the moment as he had to speak on the world’s biggest official diplomatic stage.
But, far from making remarks of any persuasive power that can be viewed to be helpful to defusing tension, he made unprecedented rude nonsense one has never heard from any of his predecessors.
A frightened dog barks louder.
I’d like to advise Trump to exercise prudence in selecting words and to be considerate of whom he speaks to when making a speech in front of the world.
The mentally deranged behavior of the U.S. president openly expressing on the UN arena the unethical will to “totally destroy” a sovereign state, beyond the boundary of threats of regime change or overturn of social system, makes even those with normal thinking faculty think about discretion and composure.
His remarks remind me of such words as “political layman” and “political heretic” which were in vogue in reference to Trump during his presidential election campaign.
After taking office Trump has rendered the world restless through threats and blackmail against all countries in the world. He is unfit to hold the prerogative of supreme command of a country, and he is surely a rogue and a gangster fond of playing with fire, rather than a politician.
His remarks which described the U.S. option through straightforward expression of his will have convinced me, rather than frightening or stopping me, that the path I chose is correct and that it is the one I have to follow to the last.
Now that Trump has denied the existence of and insulted me and my country in front of the eyes of the world and made the most ferocious declaration of a war in history that he would destroy the DPRK, we will consider with seriousness exercising of a corresponding, highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history.
Action is the best option in treating the dotard who, hard of hearing, is uttering only what he wants to say.
As a man representing the DPRK and on behalf of the dignity and honor of my state and people and on my own, I will make the man holding the prerogative of the supreme command in the U.S. pay dearly for his speech calling for totally destroying the DPRK.
This is not a rhetorical expression loved by Trump.
I am now thinking hard about what response he could have expected when he allowed such eccentric words to trip off his tongue.
Whatever Trump might have expected, he will face results beyond his expectation.
I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U.S. dotard with fire.

Mr. Turner
About
Mr. Turner, most commonly known as Dad, and is called simply “Turner” in “Dimmsdale Tales” is Timmy’s father. He is usually depicted as one of the most idiotic characters on the show, rivaled only by Cosmo (and even then Cosmo is considered smarter). As a running gag throughout the series, his first name has never been revealed, with people almost always referring to him as Timmy’s Dad (even by people who are not related to him); something such as a truck noise usually blocks the revealing of his actual name. Dad is voiced by Daran Norris, who also played the live action version of him in the Live-Action Movies.
History
Mr. Turner has been on The Fairly OddParents since episode one, The Big Problem!. His role on the show occasionally surpasses even that of Cosmo when it comes to being dimwitted.

Donald Trump Disinvites Warriors To White House
Overview
Donald Trump Disinvites Warriors To White House refers to President Donald Trump withdrawing his invitation to the Golden State Warriors, who were champions of the 2016-2017 NBA Season, after learning their team’s star point guard, Steph Curry, was hesitant on accepting the invitation. Trump’s withdrawal breaks an American custom since the 1960s that a championship sports team from major sporting leagues visits the White House after their victory. The withdrawal prompted strong responses from NBA players against Trump.
Background
On Friday, September 22nd, 2017, Warriors point guard clearly stated he did not want to go to the White House for the customary visit, saying I don’t want to go. That’s the nucleus of my belief. If it was just me, it would be a pretty short conversation."[2] On Saturday, September 23rd, 2017, Donald Trump tweeted “Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team.Stephen Curry is hesitating,therefore invitation is withdrawn!”[1]
Developments
While it was initially unclear if Trump meant Curry’s invitation was withdrawn or the entire team’s, the Warriors later confirmed that the entire team’s invitation was withdrawn.[3] They said they would instead use the time they intended to use for the visit to “celebrate equality, diversity and inclusion -- the values that we embrace as an organization.”
LeBron James “U Bum” Tweet
Several NBA players spoke against Trump’s comments. Most notably, NBA superstar LeBron James tweeted “U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!”,[4] gaining over 650,000 retweets and 1.4 million likes.
James also further elaborated on his tweet in a video for Uninterrupted (shown below).
"It’s not about dividing. We as American people need to come together even stronger.” --

Kobe Bryant also came out with strong words against the President, saying "A #POTUS whose name alone creates division and anger. Whose words inspire dissension and hatred can’t possibly “Make America Great Again”,"[5] gaining over 170,000 retweets and 359,000 likes (shown below).
Still, most media attention focused on James’ and Curry’s comments. Sports Illustrated[6] said both players short and honest responses to Trump showed him “exactly what he deserves.” The New York Times[7] gave a more straightforward report of the events, focusing on James’ tweet.
