RackaRacka (born: November 13, 1992) is a group YouTube channel, known mostly for their perilous stunts and shorts that mainly involve extreme violence and brutality. It is run by twin Greek-Australian brothers, Danny & Michael Philppou, from Adelaide, South Australia.
Characters throughout the channel
RackaRacka features a myriad of characters recognizable from various medias such as video games, televisions and movies. Often these characters, if they weren't already, are portrayed to be comically psychotic and violent, and even salacious.
Ronald McDonald
Ronald McDonald is the most famous of all the characters of the channel and the most recurring character. He is portrayed by the channel to make him a psychotic serial killer, a thrill seeker, a lecherous and incestous lover to his sister Daisy, or a lame superhero. One time Racka Racka made a video about him torturing famous YouTuber, HowToBasic. He is also the mascot of the channel. He is revealed in Halo vs Call of Duty, to be the Master Chief, when unmasked.
Freddy Fazbear
Freddy Fazbear appears as the special main antagonist in the "Five Nights at Sesame Street" crossover. The animatronic is also the titular antagonist in the "Five Nights at Freddy's" franchise. This incarnation of Freddy is tremendously different compared to his original counterpart. Freddy Fazbear is one of the most violent and brutal characters on the channel.
Sesame Street characters
RackaRacka made Sesame Street terrifying, especially in the videos, "Five Nights at Sesame Street" and "Ronald McDonald VS Cookie Monster". They also made an older video about the Cookie Monster literally was a monster because he hunted down anyone who was going to steal his cookies.
The Burger King
The Burger King is Ronald's arch enemy. In the Burger King's debut in "Ronald McDonald BURNS THE BURGER KING!", Ronald, disguised as a Burger King mascot, dumps gasoline on the Burger King and lights him on fire during the latter's commercial. The Burger King is then seen again in Meet the McDonalds, where he is revealed to be horribly disfigured and attempted to steal a McDonald family recipe. He is eventually brutally killed by Ronald and Daisy McDonald.
Scorpion
Scorpion appeared in "Mortal Kombat X Brutalities in Real Life", and the video was violent and not recommended for 9 year-olds.
DC Super Heros
The DC Superheroes (which are Batman, Robin, Superman, Wonder Woman) appear in one video called, "DC vs. Marvel". In that video, the DC and Marvel were fighting over tickets.
Effects
The special effects on RackaRacka's videos are very realistic and terrifying. They are typically shown to have gore and involve the use of explosives. Some effects have been revealed to have used even used heavier equipment, such as a helicopter (in “CAR FOOTBALL”) and a construction crane (in “Marvel VS DC (Avengers Battle!)”).
Leaving YouTube
On April 2, 2018, the creators of the channel announced in their final episode of the channel's mini-series 'House of Racka' that they were leaving YouTube due to changes in the platform's monetisation policies, and being unable to permanently sustain their lives by living off of their earnings generated through the website. The channel is still currently active, however with no new uploads.
Comeback
Only two months later, RackaRacka posted a video called "Ronald Mcdonald PLAYS FORTNITE" on 30 May 2018, confirming their comeback on YouTube. They are still currently posting videos, some of which thus far contain provocative themes towards YouTube’s policies, and petty jabs at the platform for demonetizing their channel.
Left on Red
Since December 14, 2019, Michael, Danny and The RackaRacka Team later makes a second channel called "Left on Red" unlike the first channel, the channel itself somewhat uploads new videos daily, and the format itself is set as the "talk show" parody, answering questions. reacting to videos, discusses about the upcoming events, and responding to criticism.
Sometimes Ronald McDonald and RackaBat would appear on the show, some of the videos in fact also uploaded some Ronald McDonald content that was never uploaded on the main "RackaRacka" channel.
