RackaRacka is a YouTube channel run by the Australian twins Danny and Michael Philippou (b. 1992[1] ), based in Adelaide. They are known for intense live action combat videos,[2][3][4] and they are known for making videos based on McDonald's mascot, Ronald McDonald. Some of their videos have been noted for being remarkably gruesome.[5] A handful have even been flagged on YouTube due to the controversy and it was banned in several countries. The channel has more than 3,000,000 subscribers as of September 2016.[6]

Their first huge success was the video Harry Potter vs Star Wars which attracted 7 million views in a week.[1] This video was the winner in the Best Comedy and Best Overall categories at the 2014 Australian Online Video Award.[7] In September 2015, they won Best International YouTube Channel at the 6th Annual Steamy Awards.[8]
