Here's a bunch more. ("Bunch" should not be construed as meaning that they are all of a same level of quality.)

From what I understand, that's pretty unlikely. Although I could be wrong about this, I've been told from multiple sources that eBaum's World doesn't have much in the way of original content. He just takes other people's stuff and claims it as his own.

Hmm. Did they not have a contest for such trailers about 12-18 months ago?

I could be completely mistaken. I'm not too familiar with the online cartooning and flash and such. But multiple people who are tell me that stealing everyone else's content is the basic MO there. Of course, that could be true and they still could have run that contest themselves.
I do know that people I know who create online media content can get very incensed when eBaum's World is mentioned as having such great content, so I figured I'd pass that on. Here's an amazon review of the site.

I'm not seeing how this differs much from YouTube, Google Video, et al. Much of the content on all these sites came from other places, often privately owned sites.
In this particular case, I seem to recall these videos being in response to a contest at eBaum's. *shrug*

As I understand it, eBaum's removes all indications that anyone else made it and rebrands it as their own.

Yeah, eBaum's is pretty bad about taking other people's content involuntarily, like ytmnd's, and profiting on it while claiming it as their own. That's why I make a habit of making that point whenever the sight is mentioned, just to make sure they don't get any undeserved notoriety.
* A note on apostrophe usage, it may look like I have no idea what I’m doing since I threw a whole bunch in there in places they appear not to belong, but ebaum is an abbreviation of the owner’s name, so I needed one there, and YTMND is an acronym; I’m not sure what the rule is when pluralizing acronyms, but it just looked silly without one. Grammar Nazis please forgive and correct me if it’s wrong.

Without getting into the eBaum's / ytmnd debate, uh, which is shocking in its own right, okay -- that Mary Poppins video was wonderful, and so was that Shining video. Too great.
