YouTube: PewDiePiePewDiePie realizes how weird his old content was
Fans of PewDiePie know that over the years, the star has had many “phases” in his career. From horror games to being a meme connoisseur, the content creator has had an incredibly varied output of content. However during his December 2 upload, he was floored by how “weird” he could actually be in his past videos.
“I never realized how weird I am. Seeing all this, it’s like what the f**k is wrong with me, dude?” he exclaimed before breaking into laughter. He had the revelation while watching a clip compilation of his entire career which were taken “out of context.”
The 31-year-old watched several more compilations that chronicled his YouTube channel from 2010 to 2020, before he came to a realization. “I’ve shot a lot of weird videos,” he said. Pewds then became baffled after multiple fans called him “the neighbor’s kid” due to his past behavior. The term is a reference to a meme which describes a kid in your neighborhood that acts weird or annoying.

After seeing multiple moments from past uploads, he broke into laughter and admitted, “You know maybe I am the neighbors kid. It’s kind of fun to revisit [my past content].”
While PewDiePie’s past content has certainly been more outlandish then recent years, the entertainer is still crushing it on YouTube. In May, he signed a major deal to stream exclusively on the Google-owned platform, which has been a major hit with fans.
