EverymanHYBRID is an amateur fitness group that began posting videos to YouTube in March
2010. The cast consisted of three
college-aged students named Vincent (Main Host a.k.a Team Beard), Evan (Dietary "Specialist" a.k.a Team I wanna kill it), and Jeff (Camera and Editing a.k.a Team Sad Panda). The videos contained health tips and advice for anybody interested in "the healthy lifestyle on a budget".
From the beginning, a close connection to the audience was important, and friendly relationships were built over the internet. The cast was known to be well versed in internet
humor, memes, creepypasta, and popular culture, particularly horror movies and horror
based video games, etc.
In the first five entries, a familiar sight may be found as a horrific
easter-egg: Slenderman, originating from the SomethingAwful forums. The entity seems way too blatantly placed and the
crew was originally criticized for merely creating an awful "Slenderman
rip-off series", that is, until their sixth episode, in which their
true intentions regarding the "obvious" Slenderman are revealed.
