Editing Animutation (section)

===Recurring motifs===
Though animutations are close in relation to the random nonsense of [[dadaism]] and can be entirely unpredictable, they sometimes exhibit recurring memes among them as a result of being influenced by each other and internet culture.  Among the many recurring motifs found in animutations are:
*The inclusion of Canadian comedian [[Colin Mochrie]] from ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (American TV series)|Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]''<ref>{{cite news | title = Copy, paste, animate Pop culture crudely skewered in animutation | work = [[Toronto Star]] | date = 26 August 2006 | first = Shauna | last = Reppel | page = H3}}</ref> Regularly, a picture of Mochrie's head superimposed into a crudely drawn sun is also used.  This inclusion is largely due to Neil Cicierega's  fixation on the comedian.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.colinmochrie.com/askcolin.cfm |title=Colin Mochrie |access-date=2008-07-19 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080312120047/http://www.colinmochrie.com/askcolin.cfm |archive-date=2008-03-12 }}</ref>
*The inclusion of [[Harry Potter]] in various forms, often edited in a bizarre fashion. Neil Cicierega, also a creator of the [[Potter Puppet Pals]], is responsible from the outset explosion of Harry Potter's use in animutation, most notably starting in Hyakugojyuuichi.
*Obscure pop-culture references, typically catchphrases or images.
*Random cartoon characters, usually from children's television programs or anime, although obscure characters are also used.
