What the Cut !?

What the Cut !? was a humoristic show created by Antoine Daniel. The first episode was uploaded on 1 March 2012 on his YouTube channel. The concept of the show comes from Ray William Johnson's Equals Three. When it comes to his humour and staging inspirations, his most obvious references are videographer TomSka and British director Edgar Wright.

In each episode, Daniel analyses three funny, strange or freaky videos, and jokingly comments on them. However, What the Cut !? Is not a French Equals Three as Antoine Daniel completely changed the concept. In What the Cut !? he plays a character who speaks very quickly, wildly and sometimes screams. The video editing is very quick, and the jokes are completely absurd which explains the show's name: "What the ..." for the absurd, wacky and crazy jokes and humour, and "Cut", for the video editing, which Antoine Daniel considers the most important part of his videos.

After the first couple of videos, episodes were released monthly. However, that schedule could not be kept starting with episode #35 since later episodes would feature a 5- to 15-minute sketch at the beginning of the video. The 37th and last episode was released on 30 December 2015.

Clyde Vanilla

Clyde Vanilla is a science fiction audio story. The first episode was released on 17 September 2017. The last and tenth episode was released on 19 November 2017.

However, this series was not as well received as What the Cut !?[4] later What The Cut !? episodes would get.

Since 2018, Antoine is streaming on Twitch. As of 26th October 2023, he has 1,011,700 followers.

He participated to 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 editions of Z Event, a French charity reuniting several francophone streamers.
