How it all began[]
Some time in March or April 2006, young Daniel Jay Russell (born 11 June 1989) discovered YouTube when he was 17. He thought it was a cool website and attempted to make an account, but it didn't work. On 20 October 2006, Daniel signed up for YouTube and became Dantheman2funny. He made animated videos with MS Paint and Windows Movie Maker, and were instant smash hits. In late 2006 and early 2007, Dantheman2funny began making Angry German Kid videos, after watching a video of said German kid (real name Norman Cochanowski) going nuts over Unreal Tournament, but the gameplay footage was Super Mario Bros. and he thought it was funny as heck. During 2007 and 2008, he made many channel icons, and then he decided to watch videos by fellow YouTubers alwaysdelivers and HoodboyTails. He was then interested in making Speakonia and Microsoft Sam videos after being inspired by them. The RSN Agreement brought to change in administration but now seldom felt in August 2009. Around late-ish 2010, 2FunnyVersionIV decided to make commentaries and Top 10 Lists, but the following summer of 2011, he decided to call it quits because people kept calling him out by saying his videos were very unprofessionally crafted, having to rely on overused video clips from movies and games for his commentaries to make his points come across as legitimate. Starting in sometime in 2014, 2FunnyVersionIV was slowly running out of ideas for videos, but in the end discovered his passion for narrating kids' books and uploading VHS footage of TV shows he watched in his childhood, and on March 24th 2015, he completely rebranded himself as VHS and Story Uploader 89, uploading said VHS footage and audio books (either on cassette tape or CD or him narrating them). However, on August 24th 2020 during the terrible pandmic of the coronavirus, his VHS and Story Uploader 89 channel got terimated because of alleged false copyright claims, but then came back as VHS and Story Uploader 89 Revival, and is here to stay ever since.
Selected crafts by him[]

- Microsoft Sam videos (No longer made because of changes to his content. Most notable episode: Microsoft Sam Plays Zoo Fun on the Atari 2600, where Sam plays said terrible game and infuriates the horrendously drawn sprite of what is meant to be a German kids' show character, Pumuckl, causing him to wage war on the beloved computer.)

Trivia[]
- There was a planned second Angry German Kid movie in which it was going to feature Leopold finally destroying Jovi, but personal issues got in the way, and his computer was on its last leg, so he had no choice but to cancel it. Had it actually been made, allegedly, a friend of his in real life suggested the idea of AGK actually getting a message from Sir Topham Hatt and the locomotives on the island of Sodor, informing him that Jovi has waged war on them, and that the final fight to place in space and Jovi ended up falling into Henry's funnel, causing him to sneeze her out into the Earth's atmosphere. Dan thought this was a ludicrous idea and completely abandoned the project entirely.
- His Microsoft Sam movie where he was going to finally destroy Pumuckl for starring in a crudely made game had to be cancelled because of lack of memory and space, not just on his Windows Vista computer, but also his external hard drive. Had it actually been made, the final fight scene was originally going to depict Sam becoming a "Fortress Maximus" styled supercomputer and finally defeating Pumuckl and bringing peace to Redmond, Washington. It is unknown if there was going to be a sequel movie.
- He is now considering setting up an extra channel on YouTube where he is planning to bring back Leopold, Microsoft Sam, other familiar faces like Harold Slikk, Leonard Slikk, Leonidas Slikk, Jake Randolf, Ronald Ramirez (which he refers to as Ronaldo to make it sound more Spanish-sounding), Kaeru Otoko, and new faces such as The Crazy Korean Starcraft Guy, Crazy Korean Gamer, The Angriest Guitar Player in the World, and the Angry German Kid Returns Toaster Guy (whom he refers to as "Gerald Slikk", Harold's brother), among others, and calling the new rebooted series "Angry German Kid and Friends", complete with new enemies they have to fight, however he hasn't seriously thought about this yet, as he believes that Angry German Kid videos aren't as good as they used to be.
- Nearly all of his videos he ever made from 2006 to 2014 are lost.
- He and forgotten British Youtuber, Alwaysdelivers were once considered to be pioneers of Angry German Kid and Microsoft Sam videos back in 2007 and 2008, but were completely overshadowed by Thunderbirds101 and Fireguy1919 in terms of Microsoft Sam videos, and Jeeves476, AngryGermanKid82, TheKewlOne96 and, to some extent, StardoIIsBobBryarfan in terms of Angry German Kid videos.
- He was once in a relationship with fellow AGK video maker, StardoIIsBobBryarfan in the summer of late July 2013 until New Year's Day 2018.
- He believes that Angry German Kid videos were better in 2006 to 2011 or 2012.
