Hi. My name is Skill Flea and I am a fan and aspiring author of creepypasta. After the release of "Undercooked Analysis - 1999 Finale", David and Dead Palette discovered a hidden controversy in the recent 6/21/15 update of the popular creepypasta known as "1999". This is the passage in question:
The "Hey there painter heads" is directly ripped off from a series of videos on the youtube channel "AlanTutorial" where the character refers to his fans as "tutorial-heads". If that wasn't bad enough, Paint with the Soul - Episode 2 completely rips off a specific AlanTutorial video almost entirely. Read the above passage from 1999 and then watch this video. The resemblance is of the two is almost horrifying.
I'm making this tread hoping to collect evidence against 1999 that show other examples of plagiarism. Instead of having to go all over the web to keep track of everything, I wanted a spot to store everything that is known about plagiarism in 1999. I'm hoping that you the viewer continue the hunt and continue to comb through this story to expose it for what it is. I will continue to add more to this thread if I can dig up anymore dirt on the story, as well as add stuff I have already found. This was once my favorite creepypasta and I believe more people need to know about what the story has done.
"Paint with the Soul - Episode 2, "How to Find Berries": Paint with the Soul never stood out to me because I never saw it on TV myself and the actual episodes didn’t make a lot of sense. The episode started with the usual bad quality, cutting right to an ally way. The camera man made his way through the ally, the derelict buildings on one side, a rusting metal fence on the other. “H-hey painting-heads, today I’m going to show how to find some fresh wild berries!” I recognized that voice as the one from other episodes. Like episode 3, the man’s voice was fairly shaking and sounded somewhat anxious. The man walked over to a mattress turned against a building. “H-here we have t-the house where the squirrels hide things.” The man pulled out a shaking hand, it was covered in what looked like blood. With the bad quality of the film, the liquid looked alarmingly bright. The hand grabbed the mattress and pushed it onto the ground, revealing a plastic container behind it.
The camera zoomed into the container, revealing it to be full of small red berries. “A-and here we have berries!” The man placed the camera on the ground so that it was level with the berries, he took a small handful and presumably ate them. “Mmm, tastes good!” the man exclaimed. Suddenly a scream erupted from somewhere in the distance, causing the man to hastily pick of the camera and begin to sprint. The episode cut out shortly after."
