For years the videos circulated amongst a dedicated fanbase until September 2004, when the fan site was formed and eventually became the main source for Tourette's Guy episodes. These videos came under the title �Tony the Tiger With Tourette�s Syndrome� and fictitiously described Danny (at the time unnamed) as 'the guy that used to do the voice' of the eponymous Frosted Flakes mascot before retiring to live off residuals. The series then made the jump to the internet in 2002 on the website Elbow World, run by the series' creator and camera operator Jared Six. The first video of Danny surfaced in December 2000, when a 25 minute videotape was given to a small number of people in the Columbus, Ohio area (where the series is based). His friends and family often show up, but aside from his equally foul-mouthed father, they are only heard from offscreen and never seen.
The Tourettes Guy is a series of YouTube videos following the eponymous Danny, a foul-tempered and foul-mouthed man with ' Tourette's syndrome' - though his behavior is likely more influenced by all the booze he drinks.
