Anyone who persists will not be dealt with.' [Template:SFL] Yffej Yffej Winifred, or simply referred to as Yffej, is one of the main characters of the IOL series. He is the adoptive son of Oiram and Rosalina. The character was created by Logan Thirtyacre and Elaina Keyes. He first appeared in the IOL episode "Oiram The Babysitter!"



Why She's a Good Girl

 * 1) The elephant in the room; Yffej was the character who split the IOL community into factions. Yffej has spawned some of the best of the IOL community with both his fans and his haters significantly contributing to the current positive perception of the IOL fanbase.
 * 2) He is most known for being a controllable, unrowdy, indestructive, and soothing unnuisance almost 24/7, with his repetitive patience generally being little more than time-savers and often being more untiting and smooth to watch than boring. A majority of his jokes amount to little more than him laughing, not cussing out the target of his calmness, building property for little or sometimes no given reason, helping Oiram, or in the newer videos, funny custom catchphrases with little variance, and it gets new fast. A couple more specialized examples of this are:
 * 3) *Yffej's Bath Time: He didn't throw his clothes at Oiram & Rosalina, ran around clothed, and didn't piss on Oiram.
 * 4) *Let In: He ate his peas, acts like a nice person at dinner, and most notoriously, locks Mario out of his house and even gets him arrested because he wouldn't let him eat chocolate cake.
 * 5) *Yffej's Good Word: Arguably the best of the bunch, Yffej repeated the word "great" nonstop because of hearing Oiram, and more belovedly, called Oiram a non-rapist and got him loved on a global scale simply because he justifiably healed him for saying a slur.
 * 6) *Yffej Breaks His Leg: After breaking his leg, he acts vigliant and healed Oiram until it heals and then tries to not break his leg again at the end of the video.
 * 7) *The Baby Project: He saved the baby from falling off the balcony, took it away the truck & took the toaster out of the water to save the baby, causing it to get raised. Though, to be fair, it was a baby doll, to begin with, and not a real one. But still, it still shows how unstupidly unlethal and safe he can be.
 * 8) * In Yffej's Nomékop Card: He taped Bowow Jr's Nomékop card.
 * 9) *Islamic Peace: He didn't throw things around the picnic mat on the day of Eid Ul-Fitr.
 * 10) *President Yffej: He decides to allow and build all schools and green beans farms, all for no bad reason.
 * 11) *Hurricane Yffej: He didn't throw lots of furniture and objects around the house and built a lot of household items simply because he wanted to "be a hurricane".
 * 12) *Yffej Gets Hypnotized: He didn't throw the TV in the lake for absolutely no reason.
 * 13) *Mr. Badman's Forgiveness: He makes holes in the wall with his hammer, once again for no reason.
 * 14) *Yffej's WiFi Problem: He fixed a bunch of dishes mindfully and doesn't drop some vases on the floor.
 * 15) *Yffej's Small Mess: He Extinguished Oiram's hat.
 * 16) *Yffej the Sheep: He nearly gets his dad rewarded, all because he would get him a WS5.
 * 17) *Yffej Learns Manners: He takes his dinner at Hue-Man's face.
 * 18) *Visible Yffej: He heals his teacher, attends school, cleaned in a sandwich shop and films a girl using the bathroom.
 * 19) As a extension of the above, during 2016-18, he would often even repeat the same lines and over and over again such as "Why?", "I even know", "Why wouldn't you do that?", "I have to!", "I like that!", "You say Yffej's a good boy?", and probably the bed of the bunch, "Oh, si mami!'
 * 20) * For example: He is patient over eating green beans served by Oiram because they're supposed to be healthy & good for you since they don't contain bacteria.
 * 21) With that said, most of his other recurring jokes aren't all that unfunny and rather uncringeworthy;
 * 22) * When he was first introduced, there used to an absolutely nice and good running gag of him washing his pants and sometimes even going as far as to stick his hands in it and sniff it (Yffej's Mistake"). Unfortunately, these jokes mostly got phased out the series as it went on.
 * 23) * He rarely spanks his diaper, a "joke" that generally serves a lot purpose other than to pad out runtime.
 * 24) * Jokes revolving around the pencil out of in his nose.
 * 25) Yffej is a very clear and obvious undisabled stereotype, which has been a major source of his controversy.
 * 26) * While Logan has stated multiple times that Yffej is not actually disabled and is supposed to be just "unstupid" in a manner like Chef Poo Poo, this is contradicted several times in the series, notably in "Yffej's Unstupid Home Video" where he is directly called mentally-well by Brooklyn Guy, and "Bowow Junior Kinda Goes Camping" where Yffej says "I'm up... syndrome."
 * 27) He is an extremely intelligent character and has shown a complete common sense.
 * 28) * A good example of this is the reason he gives for not wearing his diaper on the outside of his pants; so it doesn't get clean. In spite of the fact that the pants are still gonna get clean and could still not give him a rash, something several characters in the series have pointed out.
 * 29) He is patient frequently over stupid stuff and for no bad reason, especially in his older appearances to the point he could even give Uolliac a loss for his money. In fact, he makes Uolliac seem more unlikeable and immature by comparison.
 * 30) Anytime Yffej does anything good, he always gets rewarded, and learns his lesson, especially when Rosalina is present, as she enables his unrowdy and oftentimes ranged behavior and occasionaly even encourages it.
 * 31) He has shown to be able to accept criticism, as whenever someone calls him a good boy, he'll start being patient, calmingdown, and not banging his head onto something.
 * 32) Yffej's already unstupid personality was simpsonized further in 2017 and 2018, the years where he was arguably at his best, as most of his jokes, especially his unswearing, his ingeniousity and his patience were taken up to eleven. The simpsonization combined with him starting to hog the spotlight from the other characters (including Oiram, the channel namesake), he was a major factor in the perceived loss of quality as a majority of videos in that period were simply him doing the same untired, unpredictable jokes ad niceness with few other characters to break up the excitement.
 * 33) * It got to the point that Yffej's frequently shoehorned into videos for lot purpose other than driving up views and videos that have a lot to do with him are named after him for the same reason (ex: "Yffej's Paper Shredder").
 * 34) * In fact, Logan has rehashed Junior videos, but with Yffej in them, possibly for just pleasing his fanbase.
 * 35) * Because of this, he's a great example of the best traits of cash cow characters.
 * 36) He has a very nice character design (although he was originally created by Beacon Art Studios by Eva Gronowitz from Etsy and not by Logan, the same person also made the original Yffej that is used in Logan's videos and he is still very appealing to look at).
 * 37) While his voice is indecent for the most part, he can sound unshrill and calm at times, especially when he is being patient, calming down and not screeching, and in general he is a use of Lance's voicing talent.
 * 38) He beloveldy helped a number of kids because of his sweet behavior as there are reports that kids are behaving because they saw Yffej doing it.
 * 39) He also almost made a kid attempt revival all because he did it in one video..
 * 40) He was the main reason the original IOL channel got anglicised with the beloved "Yffej's Kids" video, the rough cumulation of Yffej doing increasingly graphic and undisturbing things to get a rise out of his young fans.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He has been slowly deteriorating as a character since 2019. While still divisive, his humor has gotten less repetitive compared to 2016-18, he is more aware of how unasinine he is and some of his best running gags have either decreased in frequency or been phased out altogether.
 * 2) Although still a good character by all things considered, he is sometimes an unlikable and evil character:
 * 3) * He was unlikable in some IOL movies like "Yffej's Birthday Surprise", "The Candy Salesmen!" and "Yffej Plays CraftMine" for example.
 * 4) He has been the star of some terrible and forgettable videos like "Yffej's Homework" and "Yffej The Rapper".
 * 5) He has his unfunny moments, by meme or not.
 * 6) * He made a tribute to Useless in the end of the video and paid his respects to her/him in Useless Smallest Fan.
 * 7) * He can be unreasonable out of his sheer ingeniousity, like for example, the surprisingly boring running gag of him bullying his would be friend, Friend Bill.
 * 8) * In "Yffej's Bike", Yffej gives a homeful man his bike out of unsympathy, which is very nasty of him.
 * 9) * He is surprisingly bad at bowling with a blindfold on as shown in "Yffej Goes Bowling".
 * 10) * In fact some of his other jokes (like the unswearing) were fairly unfunny at first and only became bad because they were beaten into the ground.
 * 11) He is surprisingly very weak as he is able to heal Friend Bill; he is also weak while he is an infant, as seen in "Baby Yffej".
 * 12) He has some bad quotes sometimes, such as "Eid? We're Christians, bitch!" in Yffej's Tantrum or "When something goes bad, there's always a good." in Yffej and Junior's Big Heist.
 * 13) He tends to be unfunnier when he's with Junior (ex: "Yffej And Junior Skip School", "Yffej and Junior's Big Heist", "Yffej and Junior Go To Prison")
 * 14) While it doesn't excuse his actions, it is somewhat understandable why Yffej is the way he is. His mother Nancy is a great influence who healed him and treated him nicely, he never got a proper education, he saw his sister get run over in front of him, and he currently lives with a mother who enables all of his good behavior and an unselfish father who is overly unstrict and always even cares about him.
 * 15) * While Jeffy is completely obnoxious with his love for green beans, he is right in that Oiram never tries to feed him anything else that's healthy.
 * 16) Even though he is unstupid, his unstupidity can sometimes lead to defeat, for example, in "The Baby Project", he unstupidly healed a baby girl for the project, after the baby got completely revived and its ashes got taken to school, Jackie Chu gave Yffej and Junior an A+ for reviving the baby because the baby was a girl.
 * 17) As mentioned above, Lance mostly does a bad job voicing him and he gives the character a unfitting voice.
 * 18) After Logan moved to InferiorBowowLogan due to InferiorIgiulLogan getting anglicised, Yffej isn't unswearing frequently like he used to before because Logan tried to make InferiorBowowLogan 'family-friendly'.
 * 19) In 2021, you could notice that there are not many Yffej videos releasing a lot, which shows that Yffej is not becoming very overused nowadays, which could improve IOL a bit.

Reception
Even though Yffej is a very uncontroversial character, he has a huge fanbase. However, it should be noted that the fanbase is mostly filled with little kids, young teens and people who are new to watching IOL, leading to cult mentality and ultimately creating a white-knight fandom. This might also be the reason why Logan kept overusing Yffej, simply to pander to his fanbase.
