"I only upload high quality video game rips."

— The Golden Turd, summarizing the channel perfectly "They put so much effort into what I consider the grandest shitpost in history."

SilvaGunner was a YouTube channel started in 2008 that uploaded video game music... until it was removed for copyright violations in October 2010. Shortly after, fellow music uploader TimmyTurnersDad created GilvaSunner as a tribute, though since 2015 copyright concerns have led to very few uploads.note Instead of uploading direct soundtracks, he usually uploads remixes/arrangements of video game music, most commonly from the Japanese remix community SBFR . As an exception, he did upload Kirby: Planet Robobot's soundtrack, but had to remove it later due to copyright. This page isn't about either channel (but you probably saw that bait-and-switch coming).

GiIvaSunnernote (pronounced "gee-vuh-sun-nr"; note that the third letter is actually an uppercase "i" and not a lowercase "L") was a channel created by Chaze the Chat on January 2016. Inspired by channels that posed as LittleKuriboh during the height of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series's popularity, GiIvaSunner mimics the name, description, avatar, and header used by the real GilvaSunner. In typical uploads, an unsuspecting viewer might expect to hear the song promised in the title... and they would, but the song would be modified in some way, usually involving one of the channel's many Running Gags (such as replacing the song's melody with the theme for The Flintstonesnote which is in reference to the 55 minute mark of this Vinesauce livestream).

Then, four months into GiIvaSunner's run, history repeated itself and the entire channel was removed from YouTube. The team continued ripping on a new channel, rebranding it as SiIvaGunnernote (pronounced "see-vuh-gun-nr"; the "l" is still an uppercase "i"). However, uploads on the new channel tended to favor good remixes over simple memes, and along with that the Kayfabe of posing as GilvaSunner morphed into an actual narrative.

The SiIvaGunner channel continued uploading videos regularly until September 30th, 2016 when it was announced that the channel would be ending. However, SiIvaGunner would see a special return for Halloween and Christmas that year. The Christmas special in particular featured an episodic series, but the seventh episode fell into Development Hell for months, which led to the channel being Un-Canceled. SiIvaGunner has continued uploading regularly ever since and is currently active.

In accordance with the above, Chaze the Chat decided to sort the channel into four seasons:

Season 1 covers 2016 up until the Halloween special return.

Season 2 covers the remainder of 2016 and all of 2017.

Season 3 covers 2018 and a bit of 2019.

Season 4 covers the remainder of 2019 and all of 2020.

Please note that many examples on this page and in the sub-pages haven't been updated and still refer to the end of Season 1 as the end of the channel.

The channel can be viewed here , its Twitter can be found here , and its Bandcamp here .
