SourceFed is a series where hosts, Lee Newton, Elliott Morgan, Joe Bereta, Steve Zaragoza, Trisha Hershberger, and Meg Turney, present a news story, covering a variety of topics. Episodes of the series are presented in a comical daily newscast.[19] Bereta is the head writer for SourceFed.[20]

20 Minutes or Less

20 Minutes or Less was the original incarnation of SourceFed. DeFranco appeared in the first story of the show's first two weeks, excluding February 1 only to appear again on a March 12, 2012 video about the Mass Effect 3 ending. 20 Minutes or Less was also the first show to launch on SourceFed.[21] On Fridays, the main hosts of 20 Minutes Or Less upload "Comment Commentary" which is where either some or all of, Elliot, Lee, Joe, Trisha, Meg, and Steve read off comments from their videos and show a short slideshow of fan-submitted pictures and art. A story that SourceFed covered on 20 Minutes Or Less has been featured on Huffington Post.[22] In an interview with Tubefilter, DeFranco stated that 20 Minutes or Less is the staple show of SourceFed.[7] On June 13 and 14, 2012 the YouTube uploading system did not allow two of the five stories covered by 20 Minutes or Less to go up onto the website. SourceFed addressed the issue by uploading the two stories from June 13 onto an official Tumblr account, leaving those two stories to be the only ones never uploaded onto YouTube. The two stories from June 14 were later uploaded the following day onto YouTube, making them the first 20 Minutes or Less stories to be covered on a Friday. On July 31, 2012, six stories were uploaded by 20 Minutes or Less, a first in SourceFed history. A story covered on 20 Minutes or Less detailing a scientific study showing dogs may be better for humans and their health than cats was featured on a Gather.com news article.[23] Gather.com later published another news article featuring 20 Minutes or Less' video covering a story on exploding iPhones.[24] The 20 Minutes or Less title for SourceFed's news stories was dropped on August 23, 2012, instead opting for using just the title SourceFed.[25]

Hosts

Main hosts:

Recurring hosts:

  • Philip DeFranco

Guest hosts:

2012 Maxim Hot 100

On February 6 and April 3, 2012 SourceFed crashed the Maxim Hot 100 voting website.[29] The cause of the crashes were due to Bereta and Morgan telling their audience through 20 Minutes Or Less to vote for Lee Newton as a write-in candidate. Maxim later came out with an article noting that Newton has "list potential".[27] In May 2012, it was announced that Lee Newton placed 57th on the 2012 Maxim Hot 100 list.[30][31][32]

Other Shows

  • Curb Cash, stylized as Curb Ca$h, is a show uploaded Saturdays on SourceFed that is a type of game show where host Kevin Brueck goes out on the street and asks random people questions about recent popular culture where if they get the question correct they get money. The audience are able to interact through YouTube annotations. If the person clicks the correct answer they are led to the next question however if they get the incorrect answer they will be presented a video dubbed "Kevin Fail" which is where Brueck has to suffer a punishment. Curb Cash finished its first season on March 31, 2012 after the tenth episode.
  • The New Movie Thing Show, launched by SourceFed on May 11, 2012 as their Saturday show to replace Curb Cash after its season finale the week before. It is hosted by Philip DeFranco and Steve Zaragoza, and shows them reviewing a recently released film. The first featured DeFranco and Steve Zaragoza reviewing Tim Burton's Dark Shadows. The show was released the same weekend as The SourceFed Movie Club and was eventually moved to DeFranco's main YouTube channel. The series was cancelled shortly thereafter. On September 28, 2012 the show returned on SourceFed with Zaragoza and Meg Turney reviewing the film Looper. The show has continued steadily, with Trisha Hershberger joining as another reviewer on the show. A clip from TNMTS was used as a point of criticism against SourcFed.[35]
  • The SourceFed Movie Club, is where two SourceFed hosts review movie (usually available on Netflix streaming service) and subsequently follow their review with fan-submitted reviews of the same movie, similar to a book club, or in this case a movie club. While the show shares the same intro as The New Movie Thing Show it has a different premise and features different hosts each week. The first episode featured Zaragoza and Joe Bereta reviewing The Human Centipede 2 along with the rest of the movie club. The first season's finale was uploaded on June 9, 2012, when the film Bronson was reviewed. On the September 21, 2012 episode of Comment Commentary it was announced that The SourceFed Movie Club would return the following week, with Zaragoza and Meg Turney reviewing the film Team America: World Police.
  • Head to Head is a video game gameplay and commentary series where Turney and Zaragoza, and occasionally some other DeFranco Inc. employees, play each other in group video games.
  • Benjamin Franklin: Time Traveler is a web-based mini-series following Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln as they travel through time. In the series, Franklin is portrayed by Steve Zaragoza and Lincoln is portrayed by Lee Newton. The music is created by Steve Zeregoza, Lee Newton and George Watsky. On September 15, 2012, the first episode was uploaded.[36] In the first episode, Benjamin Franklin starts his adventure in 1860 at the White House, where Benjamin Franklin is visiting Abraham Lincoln. Using his "time machine," which deeply resembles a keytar, Franklin takes Lincoln to the year 2012. The episode concludes with the phrase "To Be Continued..." scrawled across the screen. Presently, there is a poster campaign to bring back another episode of "Benjamin Franklin: Time Traveler." If enough of the "Benjamin Franklin: Time Traveler" posters, created and provided by the company For Human Peoples, are sold, another episode of "Benjamin Franklin: Time Traveler" will be released.

Events

VidCon 2012

In March 2012, Philip DeFranco announced that he would take the SourceFed crew to VidCon 2012.[37] The four hosts (Morgan, Newton, Bereta, and Zaragoza) of 20 Minutes or Less, along with DeFranco, had a Q&A panel[12] and performed at VidCon 2012.[38] The SourceFed crew also conducted backstage interviews.[39]

While at VidCon, DeFranco and his fans broke the world record for largest game of Ninja by getting 376 people to play at once during the event.[40]

500,000 Subscribers

On August 1, 2012, SourceFed became the first of the YouTube original channels to reach 500,000 subscribers.[41] In celebration of the event, 20 Minutes or Less uploaded a special video onto SourceFed[42][43] that featured clips of SourceFed's audience congratulating them and stating the reason that they subscribed to the channel.[44]

2012 Election Hub

SourceFed hosts, Meg Turney and Elliott Morgan, along with Philip DeFranco were presenting a series of videos as part of YouTube's "Election Hub" during the 2012 Democratic National Convention and the 2012 Republican National Convention. During the videos, Turney predicted that the DNC will not make a difference for young voters.[45] During the conventions, SourceFed uploaded videos explaining the conventions.[46] #PDSLive 2012 Election Night Coverage, a live event hosted by SourceFed and DeFranco, was nominated for a Streamy Award for Best Live Event.[47]

Reception

Praise and Success

On May 26, 2012 the SourceFed YouTube channel reached the 100 million video view milestone.[9][11][48][49] Deadline Hollywood has tracked the weekly views of all the original premium channels on YouTube since May 17, 2012 and according to Deadline, SourceFed was the #1 original channel on YouTube for five consecutive weeks and has remained one of the top three original channels every week since the Deadline started tracking the YouTube original channels. SourceFed is one of the most popular YouTube original channels,[50] as the channel earns over 20 million monthly views and has a Slate Score of 736.[51] SourceFed was nominated for four awards at the 3rd Streamy Awards.[47] Due to its success, SourceFed was among the 30% to 40% of original channels to be renewed by YouTube in November 2012.[52]

Criticism

After winning the Streamy Audience Choice Award for Series of the Year, SourceFed was criticized. The Atlantic criticized an episode of The New Movie Thing Show, saying that "The audience pick for series of the year went to SourceFed, which consists of short clips of people explaining things in loud, fast voices," and "It's not even close to quality programming. Just something goofy to watch online."[35]
