[[ThePlasticCanteen vs. NS2]] was a Youtube Poop Tennis Match played between December 11 and December 30, 2010. Another of a rare breed of match played between two real-life brothers, it was the only match to be played by ThePlasticCanteen and the 25th match to be played by NS2. It was also NS2's penultimate match, coming after having considered himself retired for about a year, and the 6th of 7 matches that he played on his alternate GeneratorSN account.

Evidence exists of NS2 desiring a tennis exchange with ThePlasticCanteen as early as March 2008, with one game being attempted between them during this period but NS2 never continuing it. Themed mostly around the usage of various films across the history of classic cinema, including ''Rain Man''(1988), ''Bringing Up Baby''(1938), ''Singin' in the Rain''(1951), ''The Treasure of the Sierra Madre''(1948), ''Patton''(1970), ''Funny Face''(1957), ''Shadow of a Doubt''(1943), ''The Mission''(1986), ''Surf Ninjas''(1993) and ''The Princess Bride''(1987), every round of this match is over 4 minutes long, with the entire match together lasting over a half hour. Other sources of prominence include the game ''Heavy Rain'', ''Psych'', ''Final Fantasy XIII'', a theatrical trailer for ''The Color of Money''(1986), ''WALL-E''(2008), ''Shaun of the Dead''(2004), ''Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave''(1995), an episode of the Richard Dawson era of ''Family Feud'', the famous Paul Masson Wine commercial starring Orson Welles and two separate Japanese commercials for Suntory Crest Whiskey starring Sean Connery. Music used includes many selections from film composer Ennio Morricone, including material taken from his scores for ''The Good, The Bag and The Ugly''(1966), ''For a Few Dollars More''(1965), and ''Duck, You Sucker!''(1971). The title music is used from the latter-most film as a way to make creative and humorous use of the vocal "shon shon"s throughout the piece, as in every round of the match a different "Shaun/Sean/Shawn" is shown on screen during its use. These include Shaun Mars, Shawn Spencer, Shawn The Sheep, Sean Connery, Shaun Riley and Wallace Shawn.
