You Suck at Photoshop, Hilarious Tutorials by Donnie Hoyle
Donnie Hoyle has created a hilarious series of “You Suck at Photoshop” tutorials:
Volume 1: Distort, Warp, & Layer Effects
Volume 2: Covering Your Mistakes
Volume 3: Clone Stamp and Manual Cloning
Volume 7: Patch Tools and Levels
UPDATE 1: There is now a real eBay auction for the ring (from episode #4), the Q & A section is almost as funny as the videos.
Q: Is it safe to PUG with random elves while wearing this ring?
A: No. This ring requires long-term, health-draining commitment. See your Guildmaster for more info.
Q: How long do the batteries last and is it rechargeable?
A: It uses a “will-sucking” power cell. And, yes, it’s rechargeable.
Q: Does it come with the baren desert?
A: No, I’m selling that metaphor in another auction.
UPDATE 2: Here’s an update from Donnie regarding the eBay auction:
Hi everybody. Looks like eBay has limited my awesomeness by capping off my public responses to your questions. I set up this forum if you’d like to ask any other questions. Sorry!”
UPDATE 3: eBay has removed the auction associated with episode #4.
UPDATE 4: “D0nn1e’s Special Place” is a new video has been posted by sn4tchbuckl3r following Donnie’s disappearance in episode 10. Here’s Donnie’s “hacked” site, which features a Photoshop shrine in honor of Donnie.
UPDATE 5: The creators of You Suck At Photoshop have been unmasked and have launched a new sequel series “Sn4tchbuckl3r’s Second Chance”.

I wonder how long before we all find out it’s Dane Cook.

Very good. Can you do the same for Adobe Illustrator please.

Your pain fuels my learning.
Don’t be happy. ever.

Gord, I agree.
On another note, where’s the GIMP love?!? :-)

I think it’s Dane Cook too. Even though in vid 2 he’s got pics of dane were he’s named the files douch bag and pussy. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find out it’s really him. I guess he spends a lot of time on the computer, but I would be surprised to find that he’s that good with photoshop. Perhaps he just narrates it?

These are hilarious. Dudes in vanagons always break up marriages.
on Sunday, January 27th, 2008 at 8:16 am
These are great videos! Thank you, so funny.
But hey, com mentors. Don’t be so stupid. He doesn’t sound anything like Dane Cook. Really. Not a thing. Get a life or some hearing aids. Or just get AIDS.
on Monday, January 28th, 2008 at 2:28 am
It may not have been pulled by ebay, the forums indicated he did it himself.
on Monday, January 28th, 2008 at 10:13 am
It is Dane Cook. I think it’s pretty obvious, if you have any voice recognition skill at all you can tell it’s his voice.

Donnie Hoyle cracks me up
“baby making man gravy”
HA!

I doubt it’s Dane Cook. If anything, it’s David Cross and Dane Cook’s love child.
on Saturday, February 2nd, 2008 at 4:08 am
Dane Cook? Unless he’s got more talent than I’ve ever noticed, not a chance. Plus the humor and voicework is far more subtle than I think Cook could manage. I’ll be sort of surprised if it’s not David Cross. I’m almost sure that it is. He also would put up picks about how Dane Cook sucks, and given the opportunity, how you suck for crediting his work to Dane Cook’s far more pedestrian a##. He might even photoshop something to that end.

I’ve laughed my ass off while watching your tutorial! Could you PLEASE show me how to photoshop it back on? I’m serious this is becomming a real problem everytime I try to sit down I’m putting extreme pressure on my poor excusse of a back bone. Thanks…
on Thursday, February 7th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
It isn’t Dane Cook, I think its David Cross.
on Monday, February 11th, 2008 at 7:19 am
I suck at After Effects. Any tutorials coming up for AE?
on Tuesday, February 12th, 2008 at 12:24 am
Yeah, I think it is very possible that it’s David Cross. His voice is identical. Also, David played a character named Donnie on “Just Shoot Me.”
‘Donnie wants a Green quarter!’

It doesn’t sound anything like Dane Cook. He does sound like this guy though:

WEIRD, THIS GUY THAT SOUNDS EVEN MORE LIKE DONNIE THAN DANE COOK WORKS IN THE SAME INTERNET PRODUCTION COMPANY!!!! I WONDER!
on Wednesday, February 20th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
hah. Imagine if it was Dane Cook. The blogosphere would not know what to do with itself. :)
on Sunday, February 24th, 2008 at 12:02 am
I think it’s the Tim after Tim guy. Hilarious.
on Saturday, March 22nd, 2008 at 9:20 pm
It IS the Tim after Tim guy! Unless the TIm after Tim guy is actually David Cross in a Tim costume! But that’s crazy… he sounds just like him.
Another thing is that although David Cross relies on self-deprecating humor, he has too much ego and wouldn’t ever reach the low-low levels Donnie Hoyle explores.
And I really don’t think Dane Cook would do anything so esoteric as You Suck at PS - it might disturb his fraternity brothers.
on Wednesday, March 26th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Wow, way interesting way to get us to watch the whole tutorial.
No really, thats great!!
on Thursday, March 27th, 2008 at 4:18 am
It is Tim after Tim. There’s a Phebco advert in the middle of that show, and Donnie works at Phebco.
The Dane Cook images in the second tutorial are just a joke against people who thought he was Dane Cook after the first tutorial.

If you weren’t in comedy what do you think you would be doing?
Dane Cook: “Graphic arts stuff. I designed my first CDs cover and I do all that Photoshop stuff all the time. But not the dirty stuff. I don’t spend forty minutes trying to make it look like George Bush has a penis coming out of his neck.”

I would like to suggest that ARTARD be added to our English dictionaries. Do you think you could provide us with a formal definition for the word???
on Friday, April 4th, 2008 at 10:11 am
hey Dane,
nice tutorials there. you’re great, man!! love the way you presented it the stuffs. we really sucks1 ha ha ha
thanks and God bless.

It’s not Dane Cook, it’s Troy Hitcher, he has more stuff on MY DAMN CHANNEL. The Dane Cook photos are yet another joke. Not Even Mr. Cook is that vain.
He’s the guy with curly hair sitting down:

I’d hate Dane Cook to get credit for this.
on Thursday, April 10th, 2008 at 8:44 am
I agree. It’s Troy Hitcher. No doubt about it. I only referenced the Dane Cook interview to show that he’s into Photo Shop.
on Sunday, April 20th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
It’s Dane Cook. It is so effing obvious that anyone who thinks it’s any other comedian has likely never even heard Dane Cook’s voice even once. It is very obviously discernable, along with Dane Cook-ish euphamisms (”… a couple of you sprained your vaginas…”) the entire tone and cadence of the voice matches Dane Cook’s perfectly. It also matches his style of comedy. David Cross? His voice is higher pitched and whinier, and he’s not as vulgar. Seriously, listen closely, youtube a few of Dane Cook’s comedy clips and come back here and relisten to the photoshop clips. Seriously. It’s so obvious I’m borderline enraged that people aren’t picking up on this.
on Tuesday, April 29th, 2008 at 7:46 am
It’s David Cross! And it’s Genius!
