Hello all,

I didnt know whether I should have put this under "Found Media" or "Lost Media". So this could be the wrong place for this.

As some of you know, the YouTube channel(s) "Mumkey Jones" were taken down about a month ago. Now, the Mumkey Jones Archive has a majority of his videos, but not all. So I was just wondering if anyone had the lost videos or had any info on them. Also to see if there is a way to contact Mumkey on this subject.

Thanks, CoolWizard88

mumkeyjones.tv is long gone.

Mumkey's Twitter profile, Jungle Jimmy (@vincenthatesgod), is also gone.

Here are videos discussing his termination:

Mumkey Jones: YouTube's Most Wanted by J. Aubrey
Youtube's Dirty Little Secret - Video Vigilante by Gokanaru.
YouTube History #8: The Demise Of Mumkey Jones by Rob's Media.
From Based To Erased - Mumkey Jones' Story (Tyler Millard) by Joon The King

But one thing was not brought up in those videos: In late July or early August 2017, Mumkey published the video "MUMKEY VS YOUTUBE" (original URL, backlinked from "Elliot Rodger: The Movie (2017) Official Trailer #1").

In that video, Mumkey said that YouTube "looked at the third reich's policy on free speech and thought 'Hey, maybe we should give that a shot!' ".

While this obviously was for humor and satire (as usual with Mumkey's edgy videos), it appears this crossed the line and infuriated someone who works at YouTube, so they pushed the nuke (i. e. termination) button.

It was uploaded in mid-2017, but apparently discovered by a YouTube employee a year and a half later, in December 2018, when Mumkey was terminated. I can imagine that YouTube employees would be compelled to scrutinize a video that has "VS YOUTUBE" in the title.

Elliot Rodger: The Movie (2017) Official Trailer #1

While we're at it, it appears that no live copy of Elliot Rodger: The Movie (2017) Official Trailer #1, published on August 5th, 2017, exists. The Wayback Machine failed to save it, showing the error "Attempts to archive this video failed". Once this happens, the Wayback Machine will not try saving it again. The video was effectively blacklisted from being archived.

It's not even in the "Mumkey Jones complete archive" that someone uploaded to the Internet Archive. As far as I can remember, it had the phrase "You can't dodge the rodge" in it. It is referenced in Gokanaru's video "Youtube's Dirty Little Secret - Video Vigilante" at 19 minutes and 35 seconds, and listed on the PasteBin page "Full list of missing Mumkey Jones Videos".

In the video "Jimmy's Declassified YouTube Termination Survival Guide" (Rumble mirror), he refutes the validity of all six of his strikes. However, he made the mistake of insulting Susan Wojcicki as "horse faced" and YouTube staff as "stupid m…".

He made a video containing valid points, but they were interspersed with occasional insults.

I fully understand his anger, given that the termination shattered his dreams of being an online comedian. However, him insulting YouTube staff might have eliminated any remaining chance of reinstatement he had.

Another likely reason for YouTube refusing to reinstate Mumkey Joenes is avoiding an embarrassing admission of failure. But everything suggests that YouTube wanted him gone deliberately.

Thankfully YouTube is not the only video platform in existence, but it is by far the largest and most watched.

Yes, and that is what made him popular. But he has not uploaded his series to his still live "Simian Jimmy" channel.

Many but not all of them have been rescued.

Someone reuploaded some of Mumkey's videos at archive.org/details/mumkeyjones and archive.org/details/mumkeyjones2july2017, but those were taken down for unknown reasons.

This item is no longer available.

Items may be taken down for various reasons, including by decision of the uploader or due to a violation of our Terms of Use.

I am disappointed when I see this message.

Archive.org is a very helpful website, but just like on YouTube, nothing on Archive.org is guaranteed to be permanent. (I know, no one likes to hear this, but it is the reality. I am saying this to encourage people to save what they value. As the error message says, "decision of the uploader" is a possible reason for takedown.)

A different archive, archive.org/details/mumkey-jones-complete-archive , is still live, but it is not complete. For example, it lacks "Elliot Rodger: The Movie (2017) Official Trailer #1".

...I don't understand your apparent obsession with "censorship". While I'm certainly one to side with creators over YouTube when shit gets taken down, a comedy sketch about a real-life mass murder event doesn't sound like it was "censored" so much as it sounds like it was taken down for being mildly NSFL.

_alexpine_ on discord. 2018 was HOW many years ago?!?!
2 correct unidentified/lost media solves out of my probably hundreds of bad guesses isn't THAT bad of a track record, right?

Where did I use the word "censorship"?

it was taken down for being mildly NSFL.

There is no such thing as "mildly NSFL". Either it is NSFL or not. And Mumkey's videos were certainly SFL. YouTube was OK with his videos for over a year.

(Edit 1) Were you referring to the archive.org takedown? That might have been by the uploader. It's the same weakness that YouTube has: uploaders can simply unpublish their uploads.
