Watch mid-2000s Disney Channel stars get super irritated in uncut promo footage

Remove the careful editing and all that's left is an irritated teen actor waving around a neon-green stick.

Despite the cheery tone of those 10-second "You're watching Disney Channel" promos from the mid-2000s, the raw footage is anything but.

Remove the careful editing and all that's left is an irritated teen actor waving around a neon-green stick. Truly, these videos are a gift.

Georgia-based edit boutique Guillotine Post is responsible for the uncut Disney star footage currently floating around Twitter. The company shared the videos on YouTube in September, along with a huge catalog of other Disney promo clips it worked on from the early to mid-2000s. The videos have since been removed, but luckily, Twitter users kept them in circulation.

Guillotine Post -- who regularly edited promos for Disney Channel -- offered background on how these TV bumps came together:

First the talent was shot on a set with just a white background. They were told to make motions that might look like they were drawing mouse ears in the corner of the screen. They really didn't know exactly how it was going to look so they were pretty much winging it.

...

Keep in mind that behind lots of great television there is a lot of boring, awkward stuff that hits the cutting room floor. All you need is a few seconds that have the right energy and you have what you need for the promo. This footage was never meant to be viewed as it is. We just thought people might learn more about what goes on behind the scenes when making TV promos.

Informative and entertaining.
