“In this day and age, even videos with millions of views can be wiped out in an instant. It does make you think about art in the digital age and how media companies think of it all as disposable ‘content,’” Vic Berger told Vulture. “Obviously, we were paid to create these videos, so they can do whatever they want with them. Also unclear is whether or not WarnerMedia plans to make the private videos public again after the audit or their future plans for the Super Deluxe brand as a whole. When asked about the change, a Turner spokesperson responded with a statement to Vulture, saying, “The catalog of videos still exists, but some have been set to private while they go through a standard rights auditing process.” According to a former Super Deluxe staffer, however, the company had a full-time staff and legal team devoted to flagging videos for potential copyright or fair-use issues before they were published, so it’s unclear why a large portion of the videos would need to be audited again.

Super Deluxe relaunched and purged all of ‘s videos including our Convention Specials. Those who starred in or helped create the now-lost videos vented about it on Twitter, expressing their frustrations over the sudden change: A quick glance at the channel currently reveals that nearly everything except Super Deluxe series Thrift Haul, Cheap Thrills, and Stoned Mode is no longer available to watch. This led to more writers, comedians, and filmmakers discovering that their work was also gone, including Jamie Loftus, Brandon Wardell, Dean Fleischer-Camp, Dave Schilling, and Nick Lutsko. ![]() It all started when Tim Heidecker pointed out on Twitter that Vic Berger’s Super Deluxe videos - which helped put the latest iteration of Super Deluxe on the map - had suddenly vanished from the Super Deluxe YouTube channel without notice. As if the loss of yet another outlet for weird comedy wasn’t enough of a bummer, a new development was discovered on Twitter this week: A handful of comedians who made videos for the site have said that their work is no longer available to view on the Super Deluxe YouTube channel.
