Fischer is the guy behind “The Chronicles of Rick Roll,” which is apparently made up entirely of breakout YouTube memes/characters/novelties. Which means that it’s catnip for people like, um, me to write about.

Here’s a concise explainer from the AP:

The film stars [Antoine] Dodson, known for the Bed Intruder Song, Bear Vasquez (“Double Rainbow Guy”), Brian Collins (“Boom Goes the Dynamite”), Ben Schulz (“Leeroy Jenkins”), Gary Brolsma (“Numa Numa”), and Stephen and Jack Quire (“Greatest Freakout Ever”). Together they account for hundreds of millions of YouTube views.

So you’re sorta, maybe kinda interested right? Alas, Fischer’s trailer teaser undermines the thing, by suggesting that this really will be like the world’s worst “Saturday Night Live” movie — 90 minutes of something that should only go on for 90 seconds.

The happy medium, of course, already exists: Compilation clips/tributes of YouTube stars are already big hits on Google’s site and beyond.

But while that distinction made him one of the early breakout stars on Google’s (GOOG) YouTube, it hasn’t made him rich. Or at least, not wealthy enough to afford the customized airplane he bought last year for $140,000. He’s auctioning it off on eBay (EBAY) at a fire sale price. UPDATE: Maynard  notes, good naturedly,  that his auction has an unmet reserve price. So it’s not fair to call this a fire sale without knowing what that amount is. My apology.

As I type this, the high bid for Maynard’s 2008 AMD Zodiac XLi is $22,6000. Maynard told Wired that he has put about 150 hours on the customized two-seater.

Wired makes reference to Maynard encountering “turbulence” at his day job as a computer programmer and notes that being “Tron Guy” has brought him notoriety but not much money. It seems the only paying gigs the distinction earned him were multiple appearances on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

I’m not sure if this is the original “Tron Guy” video that launched Maynard into YouTube fame. But it is the first one that pops up when you Google “Tron Guy YouTube” (and tellingly, the “related” videos that populate the right side of the screen star a who’s who of YouTube celebrities: The “Numa Numa” guy, “afro ninja,” “Asian Backstreet Boys,” etc.
