I don't find this man to be entertaining at all. How people find him as so, are easily entertained by sub-par rape jokes and incessant screaming like a banshee.
Instead of basing what you think about Pewdiepie on videos that try to make him look as bad as possible, I think people should actually try watching his videos.
And not just the Amnesia, Slender, or Happy Wheels ones because he actually does play other games.
I didn't like Pewdiepie at first but when I actually started watching his videos, I completely changed what I thought about him.

I tried before
He just made shitty jokes to Cleverbot then acted like an egotistical fuckhead in Omegle while fans go crazy as he just sits in his chair smug as all shit
Then there were a few scary games where he yelled and looked at pictures of cats on google images, in almost every single one of them the ending was just 5 minutes of kitten pictures
I tried I really did but none of the videos were good at all
His Walking Dead let's play was fine.
Everything else is shit.
I much prefer Cry, Game Grumps and Matt & Pat.

Cry's great and all, but he needs to balls up and seperate from pewdie, I saw some of his Cry of Fear playthrough with Cry as nothing but a 'of the moment' sidekick and he just got confused by anything pewdie did most of the time.

I don't really know the guy, but what exactly makes him terrible except for rape jokes, which by the way are also commonly found everywhere else on the internet, including here at Facepunch?
If someone were to cry about someone elses rape joke anywhere else, they'd get a response saying something along the lines of "Welcome to the internet".
From this, he seems like a decent guy who takes harsh criticism well and even apologizes for his actions.
I'm genuinely wondering if this hate for the guy is actually justified, or if it's just jealousy.
Please fill me in about this if there's more to it :v:
I'll just stick with my game grumps and spike and barley.
Honestly, I don't think its Pewdiepie's fault. His humor is ungodly shit, but its the brainless fuckups that eat that shit up that are the problem.
You can't really blame him from making money off stupid people on Youtube. You can blame him for having shit taste in humor, though.
I have watched several of his videos and not hear any of these kind of jokes.
Am I looking at the wrong ones? Because I see no rape humor.
Honestly.
I don't.
Direct me to one where they are present, please?

Saying "RAPE" or "X is raping Y" over and over isn't a joke. Jokes have a setup and punchline.
But yes, you can't blame him for making money by saying random stupid shit over and over again with no rhyme or reason.

My guess, he did it just a couple of times and then some people went all "Rape jokes, on the internet? WHAT HAS HAPPENED"
And then everyone started using it as an argument because they need reasons to hate him.

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FFbVKL-Meo0"]This[/URL] video which is on the first page has some, but people are using rape humor as a different word to describe childish humor.

Its mostly because of the ear exploding screaming at games that are hardly scary (crappy games like Slender)
And yes you are right, rape jokes are a common thing, but the 'jokes' in his videos is just banging 2 objects together and saying "HUEHUGHEUG LOOK ITS RAPING THAT THING, HAHA LOOK AT IT RAPE THAT THING"
Its just the sort of humour found on a school playground
Aren't PewDiePies fans the ones who started this whole copying bullshit? How they act like every game PewDiePie's plays is off limits to every other Youtuber. And if they do upload footage of a game he recently played, these idiots flock to the video, voice they're idiotic opinion and mash the dislike button.
If I'm completely honest, I really don't mind the guy, but his fanbase is worse than RayWilliamJohnson's, and that's saying a lot.
He is the unfunniest motherfucker on youtube. That isn't enraging. The enraging thing is that he's making hundreds out of being an idiot.
He's like 'fred'. Does anybody remember him? He was another unfunny tryhard aswell who made an incredile amount of dosh out of youtube. The two compare quite well.
Or that raywilliamjohnson guy. What pewdiepay is for games, fred is for vblogging and rwj for.. well, stealing content.

Oh shut it, you'd be doing stupid let's plays too if you got as much money from it.
Does anyone know how much he earns? The image in the video can't be real right?
People who watch other people play games are the worst form of casual gamers.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;38777628]Does anyone know how much he earns? The image in the video can't be real right?[/QUOTE]
Well it's been said that YouTube pays partners 2,50$ per 1000 views.
Pewdiepie has over 800 million views on his videos.
Do the math.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;38777628]Does anyone know how much he earns? The image in the video can't be real right?[/QUOTE]
yeah it's real, dunno if he receives 100% of the money but he's literally making millions

I don't remember the exact number, but I can tell you that it was a lot - more than most middle class people earn through years of work. The video probably had it right, which is kind of depressing.
I watched few of pewdiepie's videos, and i have came to a point to say: he speaks like a parent speaking to his retarded 3 year old son.

what the fuck, this can't be real that is fucking ridiculous.
i wish I could do next to nothing and make millions.
better than that retarded shamedamson that's for usre.
Oh wow, I could make a whopping 0,50$ PER DAY!
Time to apply to be a partner!
[QUOTE=NachoPiggy;38777715][url]http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/PewDiePie[/url][/QUOTE]
According to this site I can earn "$6 - $54 /day"
Too bad I'm not 18 yet.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;38777628]Does anyone know how much he earns? The image in the video can't be real right?[/QUOTE]
I wouldnt be surprised at all if he makes $300k+ a year.
There are so many better video makers than PDP.
Slowbeef, Diabeetus, Chipcheezum and General Ironicus are pretty much God tier LPers in my eyes, then there's Game Grumps and Cr1TiKaL. Also watch UberHaxorNova, but he's more of a guilty pleasure and I don't consider him that much better than PewDie.

Completely forgot about Criken too, he and the people he plays with, ABadFeeling, are pretty damn funny
