IronYoshi1212 Productions

IronYoshi1212 Productions (also goes by IronYoshi1212 and IronYoshi) is a member of the Speakonia Community who first started creating content in 2020. Originally a video maker who specialized in Mario blooper videos during the early and mid 2010s, he was an avid fan of the Barney Bunch and the community before he would go on to make his own Speakonia videos, mainly Drew Pickles Goes To videos. He is perhaps best known for having more story and plot-driven videos, some of which range in length of 20 to 30 minutes and feature numerous references to past Speakonia Community and Barney Bunch work.

Pre-Speakonia Years (2008-2016)
Before he became a member of the Speakonia Community, IronYoshi started out on YouTube under the username ironyoshi1212 in August 20, 2008. At the time he was roughly 11 years old and mostly watched videos featuring his favorite shows, movies, and games, but he took a keen interest in Sammyt3hSnake (whom he would state would be one of his inspirations for making Speakonia videos years later), and was subscribed to his channel. It was through watching Sammyt3hSnake's videos that he would find out about the Barney Bunch and the rest of the community, and he would begin actively watching many of the most popular members at the time, mainly MrCaptainJeff, HappyTheHomo45, DrewPicklesAintDed69, and bigboyrats to name a few.

IronYoshi wouldn't start making videos until early 2010. They were not Speakonia videos, however, as they were mostly very loose Mario Blooper videos, which were popular at the time, which his staple series were SM64 Super Bloopers, Super Mario Sunshine Bloopers, and the Super Mario Toy Show, which took inspiration from Mario plush videos. While the videos themselves can be considered pretty cringeworthy, there is some charm to it, as he tried to create complex storylines, even if they were still pretty crude and poorly made. Some of the videos actually make a few passing references to Drew Pickles and the Barney Bunch. In one of the videos, he tries to emulate Drew's voice to little sucess, and even Sammy t3h Snake makes an appearance in at least 2 of his original videos, complete with the Narrator Microsoft Sam voice, implying that he had Microsoft Narrator on his computer. By December 16, 2010, updates to the channel would ultimately stop, which IronYoshi states was because he lost access to his account.

After setting up on a site called MetaCafe (and ultimately abandoning it) in 2011, he went of a brief hiatus until May 30, 2012, when IronYoshi finally returned to YouTube under a new account. It remained fairly quite for a while, with a few sporadic uploads (usually haul videos from Christmas or from attending various conventions), but in late 2015, he started uploading videos again, consisting of revived episodes of his old series as well as video reviews. But by early 2016, he appeared to have lost interest again and went on a 3 year hiatus.

Joining the Community (2020-Present)
IronYoshi fell out of the Barney Bunch/Speakonia Community after his senior year of high school, but in late 2019, he rediscovered the community again through the likes of classic videos as well as newer members like SwellFusion. It caused a creative shift, as he no longer felt like revisiting his older video series, but instead wanted to create his own Speakonia videos, something he always wanted to do in the past but couldn't because his old computer was shit and wouldn't allow him to download Speakonia. In early 2020, he finally downloaded Speakonia and, on March 19, uploaded his first video in 4 years and his first ever Speakonia video, Drew Pickles Goes Under Quarantine! He would also join VidLii at this time too, where he would upload simultaneously there until around August 2021.

What followed were a handful of Goes To videos (with his first one being Drew going to a rather inept petition on Change.org that demanded the Barney Bunch be removed from YouTube) and some more experimental videos, such as Drew Pickles and the Barney Bunch Get High on 4/20 and Announcing Drew Pickles' Newest Amusement Park! Some videos were made to explain certain phenomena in the community, such as The Story of Brony Drew Pickles, which explained the origin of the infamous Brony Drew and marked the introduction of Princess Molestia, and more story driven videos followed, starting with Drew Pickles' Newest Creation, which introduced Swellmix into the community and would lead into the big special Drew Pickles and The City of Unswellness, and his most popular set of videos, the Drew Pickles Looks At Closing Logos And Then Some series, which were made in homage to the logo videos by Tomservo3, Skewt, and Andrew Amborse, to date are some of his most viewed videos on his channel. He also made several videos featuring Drew Pickles Jr., which would flesh out his personality more and help the character reach new heights in the community.

By late 2020, many members of the community, both old and new, quickly noticed IronYoshi's videos, including DrewPicklesTheDark, Girla PurpleHeart, satinsguard, PoopyBarney, SwellFusion, Hydreigon, timmyt333rebirth, EarthHound, DW4Ever91, and even Blood, who approved of his Barney Bunch Halloween special but disapproved of his Goes To videos. In 2021, IronYoshi expanded by featuring Betty DeVille in some videos and started making videos featuring the Pube Muppet, after the character made several appearances in prior videos. Activity began to slow down by September, which IronYoshi explained in an update video was because of real-life circumstances getting in the way, but even so, he was able to pump out several beloved videos, including Drew Pickles Meets Princess Molestia, the Barney Bunch 2021 Halloween Special, and Pube Muppet's Christmas CockBlock, which currently holds the record for the longest Speakonia video ever produced at 43 minutes and 42 seconds in length. He would also create a Speakonia Community Discord server in November, with several noted members of the community joining. As of the start of February 2022, IronYoshi remains on and off within the community, with sporadic uploads every now and then.

Trivia

 * Much like ShelltoonTV1, IronYoshi is also apart of the brony fandom, having been producing art of MLP characters since roughly 2016. However, his view on the fandom, at least in its current state, has been more passive-aggressive, usually criticizing it for taking things way too seriously.
