'''''Golden Book Video Killers''''' was a web series created in late 2008 by [[YouTube]] users [http://www.youtube.com/user/Tomblappy Tomblappy] and [http://www.youtube.com/user/wileyk209zback WileyK209zback]. This series features plush toy versions of [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Grumpy]] and [[Daffy Duck]], who serve as the hosts of the show, where they take a look at a videotape from the [[Golden Book Video]] series and point out the differences and comparisons from the video and book versions, while also poking fun at them in a style not unlike that of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''. In some episodes, they are even joined by a plush toy version of [[Super Mario Bros.|Yoshi]], played by [http://www.youtube.com/user/doughnutser256 Doughnutser256], another [[YouTube]] user. Throughout the series, Grumpy and Daffy have also covered Golden Book Video versions of franchises, ranging from ''[[He-Man]], [[Pound Puppies]], [[Care Bears]]'' (much to Daffy's chagrin), ''[[Sesame Street]]'', etc. Also, since the series is sort of a [[Crossover]], with the characters being plushies, they will also bring in their fellow cartoon characters from their respected studios (Disney and Warner Bros.) to cameo or otherwise serve as guest hosts.

** Grumpy and Daffy freaking out and running away in fear when the aptly-named white screen of death comes up at the end of a tape when it's left running.
* [[Shout-Out]]: So many to name;
** There are numerous references to TV Shows and movies such as [[Mission: Impossible]], [[James Bond]], [[I Love Lucy]], [[Dumbo]], [[G.I. Joe]], etc.
** There's also a 'blink-and-you'll-miss-it' moment in 'Golden Book Video Killers XVIII'; at one point during the Golden Goose story, Daffy is heard saying [[Calvin and Hobbes|"Slippin'-rippin'-dang-fang-rotten-zarg-barg-a-ding-dong!"]]
** "Golden Book Video Killers XVII" also ends with a parody of the Looney Tunes short ''[[Duck Amuck]]'' (as Daffy IS featured in the series anyways.)
* [[Stock Sound Effects]]: Daffy loves pointing out whenever some of
* [[Vanity Plate]]: The opening logo for Golden Book Video is used as the series title card, complete with Grumpy and Daffy singing along with the theme.
* [[Vomit Discretion Shot]]: Grumpy and Daffy do get seasick quite easily during storms at sea, or after some other crazy spin shot or gory scene (like the wolf being murdered in "[[Little Red Riding Hood]]."
