Gorilla Tag personal stories and community moments

elli0t is a Gorilla Tag player with a very small catalogue: only 15 videos in total, mostly personal stories about the game and its community. Nearly every thumbnail shows his grey gorilla in a pink heart-pattern beanie, usually with no text. With so few videos, every pattern on this page rests on a small sample.

    How I Met Jmancurly (watch on YouTube, new tab)

    It is the only thumbnail with a real-life photo: two people hugging, the crowd behind them turned grey, with 'Jman' in cyan and 'Me' in yellow pointing at each person. Breaking his own avatar pattern for a real meeting, with a name many Gorilla Tag viewers probably recognise, may explain the jump.

    Elliot Broke His NECK... (watch on YouTube, new tab)

    His gorilla lies back with the pink heart fabric wrapped around the neck like a brace, a red curved arrow points at it, and a friend in a rainbow afro gasps beside him. An alarming third-person title paired with a visible cartoon 'injury' probably drove curiosity while keeping the tone light.

    How I Made My Outfit (watch on YouTube, new tab)

    A split frame shows a plain grey gorilla on the left and the finished look, with the beanie and painted fingers, on the right. A simple before-and-after that answers the title and ties straight back to his recognisable look. With only 15 videos, a 1.8 multiple is a weak signal.

Thumbnail style

What elli0t's thumbnails have in common

  • The beanie is the brand

    14 of the 15 thumbnails show the same grey gorilla with a pink beanie covered in small hearts, pink blush cheeks and 'ELLIOT' printed on the chest. In 'Elliot Broke His NECK...' the same heart fabric is wrapped around the neck like a brace, so even the gag keeps the signature look.

  • Almost no text

    Only 5 of the 15 thumbnails contain words: 'bro', 'how?', 'hello', the name labels 'Jman' and 'Me', and a fake comment bubble asking 'can you sing for us?'. The title tells the story; the thumbnail sets the mood.

  • Emotion through pose and props

    The gorilla face is fixed, so feeling comes from what surrounds it: a hand over the mouth in 'Where I've Been...', climbing out of a grave in 'The End...', a floating heart between him and a friend in 'How I Met K9', a red and green stock chart behind him in 'How To Be a Gorilla Tag YouTuber'.

  • Bright for fun, dark for serious

    Light videos sit on a cyan sky and green grass. Serious ones go dark: a cave with a red-eyed gorilla for 'The Dark Side of Gorilla Tag', a near-black background for 'Where I've Been...'.

  • Short, unfinished titles

    Titles are short and trail off ('The End...', 'Where I've Been...', 'Answering Your Questions...'), and the thumbnails don't give the answer away.

What you can borrow

Ideas to take to your own channel

  1. One signature accessory (the pink heart beanie) can carry a channel's identity with no face and no text.
  2. Breaking your own pattern for a special video, like a real-life photo, makes it stand out among your other uploads.
  3. When a video is about meeting someone, label each person with a coloured name and a pointer line.
  4. Short titles that trail off work best when the thumbnail sets a mood without giving the answer.

How I Met Jmancurly

YouTube rounds public counts (118K, 1.2M…), so every number here is approximate. The multiple is a video's views divided by the median of the channel's recent uploads: ×3 means three times the usual audience. A high multiple is a lead worth studying, not proof that the thumbnail caused it: the topic, the timing and YouTube's recommendations play a part too.

The median across those 15 was about 196,000 views, and 'How I Met Jmancurly' passed 1.9 million. Because the catalogue is so small and spread over about two years, these numbers can shift a lot with each new upload.

Gorilla Tag, mostly from a personal angle: how he met other players, how he made his outfit, where he has been, and answers to viewer questions, plus a few gameplay videos like 'Juking Gorilla Tag Pros'. Several uploads are under three minutes, and gaps can be long: the latest came about ten months after the one before.
What do elli0t's thumbnails look like?
Almost all show his grey gorilla avatar in a pink beanie covered in small hearts, with pink cheeks and 'ELLIOT' on the chest. Most have no text at all. The mood comes from the setting: bright sky and grass for light videos, caves and dark backgrounds for serious ones. The exception is 'How I Met Jmancurly', which uses a real photo.
What game does elli0t play?
Gorilla Tag, the VR game where players move as gorillas by swinging their arms. All 15 videos on the channel are about it, from gameplay against skilled players to stories about the community and the people he met through the game.
