Used to.

However his constant laying on thick about molestation and rape jokes killed the humor and got tiring.

Rape jokes are not funny.

Not to mention he's using his fans:

@Draak
I've heard of Pewdiepie before. I don't like him at all, I've never seen his the videos of his, but meh, I don't really care if I didn't or not. I asked my sister about Pewdiepie and why people think he's funny and she says that it's not worth watching". I certainly don't like people like that. From that image, it makes me think that all Pewdiepie cares about is money and being popular. Honestly, that's being really selfish & immature for using others.

I found PewDiePie amusing in the beginning, when I was first introduced to him.
Though, after a few days of PewDiePie videos constantly on the screen, I got a bit tired of him.
It's basically the same thing repeated, which is why my personal opinion is that he's overrated.
He also gains money on doing all of this, sadly, I can say that even my uncle could do better, be funnier and not receive money for it.
I believe that it's all came to 'money' for him, just like some books/movies that weren't meant to continue into a series.
I can understand how younger people might like him, but personally, I do not.

Meh, I prefer Smosh really (even though I'm not too keen on them either)
I have to admit, that people who spend most of their days puttin' vids on YouTube constantly, can't be doing any favours for themselves, apart from gettin' famous :/
I think I heard somewhere that Pewdie puts vidz on YouTube of himself playin' games, for a living 0-o
Now, thats the part where I just want to shout "get a life"...... but I don't think it's true though.

He has a contract with Youtube, that's his living.

I admit I like Pewdz, he makes things more personal and special with the term 'bros', and compare that with 'audience' with Tobuscus.
I know he loves what he does, and I respect that. Gotta' love Stephano as well.

Eh....no, I never watch PewDiePie because to me, he swears too much and as said before, he has jokes that shouldn't be joked about. I prefer Tobuscus, he is mostly clean, can be perverted and I've never seen him make jokes of serious issuses. And seems as though when I watch a Toby video, I see at least more than 5 comments about how he 'copied' PewDie, honestly? Toby made his account earlier than Pew and yet he still gets ranted on. This is my opinion, you hate it too bad.

@Zaroque
When you say "contract" what does that do for Pewdie?
I'm guessing it means every time he puts vids on YouTube, he gets money for it.... but I doubt that theory ::)

''How it works you have to create an account and post videos that will become popular if your popularity continues and you get over a certain amount of subscribers Google (Youtube is owned by them) will contact you and will speak with you about setting up a contract...once you have agreed to there terms you will be issued Google stock and the more ratings, subscribers, and view hits you get the more money you will make.''

It's for serious Youtubers, people who spends most of their day actually doing things on Youtube.

  Hate him now.
Used to watch him playing Amnesia, I found it original and funny, but of course the sex jokes got to me.
And he started playing all these games and completely forgot about Amnesia.
So no, used to, but no.

-Edit-
I've never noticed that comment by Pewdiepie, may I ask what video that is on?

@Zaroque (again)
Well, if that's the case, I would have thought that some of the more "mature" adults in the Google company wouldn't have approved of his videoz.
Because, as most of the people in this topic have said: he swears a lot, makes jokes about rape and sex and.... well I just don't know how he would be allowed to get money for this (in a way).... :/
But, I suppose if the Subscribers and Fans like it, then that's what countz (sigh)

It's on "Adults React to PewDiePie" I think.

He's just another one of those boring people who do "Let's Play"'s of things and adds a ton more cursing and rape jokes that are not funny in any way.

Not to mention he's one of those things people do not stop talking about EVERYWHERE.

I'm not offended or upset or shocked by anything he does or says. It's mostly just like a.. *eyeroll* "Seriously?"

I actually got it off a tumblr, that youtube comment. But yeah it is from that Adults React video.

Also someone made a nice sum up of him here: Click (http://chip-and-ironicus.tumblr.com/post/33796157826/ironicus-reacts-to-the-general-reaction-to-etc) Bit of a language warning.

Personally, I hate him as an LPer. He isn't funny at all, to me. I'm not hating on people who like him, of course. If you like him that's your opinion. And this is mine. He is by far, my least favorite LPer.
Title: Re: do you think pewdiepie is funny?
Post by: Redlinelies on December 21, 2012, 01:31:23 am
I think some things mentioned in here is kinda for the wrong.

Now I will try to be as proper as I can with this but hating just because he doesn't use the same games anymore annoys me. You can't expect someone to do the same thing over and over and over and over again, I mean just the lets plays alone probably got a big risk of getting stale in the longer run if you aren't extremely creative as the self you are, doing it to the same game as well people will MOST likely find boring after a while no matter if you do like him or not. It's the same with music bands, they grow and might change music styles, not everyone want or will be able to create the same type of songs or music, and I'm not even sure they would become so popular if that was the case either.

It's like eating the same food for a whole week, you might love the dish but you certainly wouldn't want more if you ate it constantly for a period of time. Variation and creativity is important and most realize this, it's probably not even fun for someone like pewdiepie in the longer run either to just sit and play the same game over and over either. From my own point of view, he did the right call to expand and try other games, if he wouldn't do just this and get new grounds he wouldn't have as fun, nor reached this far and big as he's done.

Now when it comes to the swearing and inappropriate jokes, some find it fun, others do not. But as it clearly shows a good majority loves the unseriousness and childish jokes and references he can come up with, and even I myself can admit, he has his moments that can make me smile. Though I cannot see why anyone should take any of the inappropriate jokes seriously since it's just his way of making "his" videos more appealing to "us" the viewers. Personally though I kinda find his potty language and dirty jokes a bit too much though, it gets boring for me rather quickly and the more videos you watch, the duller it gets, he's not horrible at what it does though but some more creativity wouldn't hurt as he plays. But looking on how big his audience is, he's probably just sticking with a winner, and since youtubing is his job, he's just trying to work on what he likes I believe.

The comment posted earlier in this thread I do find kinda uncalled for even for someone like himself though. But honestly, it's his job, he does get revenue from the videos he post and as long as a lot of people watch it he will keep doing so. But with all the praise and love he gets from some people, he probably gets spammed with hate and other crap as well, pretty much pointless souls that do not have anything better do do with their time, I can admit, I do find him a bit overrated and there's probably others that do a better job in the area, but there's no need to troll and bash like some idiots on the internet can do, and it's pretty uncalled for as well since the guy is just doing his job, recording and uploading videos and is able to life off it, he never really did anything towards these haters more than becoming popular, and it's sadly how stuff works on the internet, some just cannot control themselves and loose it way too often. I bet that image posted earlier was some little nublet that posted some hate comment and pewdiepie just had a bad day or just wanted to get a point across. Now that simple comment give a lot of judgmental eyes because people made a big deal out of it.

I don't love pewdiepie, and I never really did, he has some nice moments, some other rather dull and boring. But one thing is certain, and that is he's become successful in what he's doing and I'd say probably having a great time playing games for a living. Something not everyone can do plain off the bat since it requires not only the hardware and tools for it, but also a charm and unique personality. He do have some respect from me for that. He seems like an alright guy honestly. And as much as he might not deserve all that fame, he's still liked and got there for a good reason I believe.

Very good words, Red.

Alizarin's thought of the day....

I have watched some of PewDiePie's videos, but I don't watch him as much as I used to... mostly because I don't have the time. I have some oppinions about this topic. For one thing, I find most of PewDiePies videos very entertaining. The one thing I like about his videos is seeing his over-the-top reactions and crazy facial expressions as he plays horror games. I have to admit that some of his horrified reactions are hysterically funny. As for some of the jokes that he makes, I can understand how they would offend people. Most of the time, his crude jokes don't bother me much. Some of it does offend me a little... it all just depends on what they are about and how he said it. I think if people find his jokes extremely offensive, then they probably don't need to watch his videos. Simple as that.

On this topic, I've also noticed comments on how people compare him to Tobuscus. Don't get me wrong, I like some of the stuff Tobuscus posts even though I don't watch much of him. I have to admit that his channel is quite entertaining. I've read on here that some people think his stuff is more clean that PewDiePie's? What?! Are you kidding me? Some of the stuff I saw on his channel could be found just as offensive as what PewDiePie puts on his. Some of the short film animation videos I watched on his channel made me say, "Wow... just wow O_O"
It's true that both do similar things, like recording themselves playing the same games and all... but of course Tobuscus does his own thing by making short film animations.

But hey, EVERYONE is entitled to their own oppinions. If you like PewDiePie, that's fine. If you don't, that's fine too. His stuff is not for everyone. Same thing goes for Tobuscus, Smosh, and whoever else.

Post by: FantasyDawn on December 28, 2012, 07:48:23 pm
My time to comment about this!OK so I must say that I am not a fan of Pewdie.I just don't whatch his videos.A classmate of mine kept telling me about him that he's awesome etc. and all that it even made me curious to waatch at least one video of him.At first "WOW he is indeed funny and all that" so I wanted to watch more of his videos but I got disapointed.
Why?Let's think about this for a second.Every video of Pewdiepie contains theese elements:abusive language,offensive jokes,screaming(exagerated most of the times)......and that would be all.I mean....seriously does he needs everytime to cuss and all that keep saying :stop r**ping me!,the old F cusses.I don't get it are theese things that he keeps saying numerous times make him FAMOUS?Are his "fans"drunk or what?Just a bunch of atomic kids I suppose.
And yes he is a gamer that usually plays horror games he became famous throught Amnesia in which he developed one of the most awesome characters invented by him :Stephano.I mean I like the way he creates characters that appear in the games he plays like The Bro and all that.
But come on,stop making the same thing.His old quotes that were once funny like :"for Lady Gaga","OMG teleporting naked guys","BARRELS" and "I don't trust you" now start to become annoying.Just create something else that isn't about r**ing,fu**ing etc.Honestly I would watch cutiepiemariza instead of him she is a lot nicer.
But this post is getting long so I'll end this here.

I understand some of the points you made in your statement, but don't you think what you said here might offend some people? You make it sound like his fans are really immature, or have really poor judgement. I laugh at some of his stuff, but I'm not drunk or an atomic kid... whatever that means.  :-\

I love PewDiePie. I don't mind his swearing... I am used to swearing, and his rape jokes and all that stuff, I find it pretty funny. I got my friend into liking PewDiePie, and that's all we ever talk about anymore. xD

But, he doesn't 'use' his fans, he made a video on that whole thing.

PewDiePie makes me happy when I am sad, and the same with Tobuscus. :D

Post by: Nemena on January 13, 2013, 11:52:20 pm
I do like some of his videos; I'll admit many of his Amnesia ones had me in tears. I don't watch many these days, but I sometimes rewatch a few of his better ones!

Even so, the jokes are-... Well. They're serious topics that should never really be joked about, especially not through such a medium. It's just really odd when you're giggling over his absurd reactions and then suddenly-... An inappropriate  and distasteful joke! It's just so out of place and jarring at times; I'm not entirely sure what to make of him.

Though I can understand why others enjoy his videos, even if I sometimes find some of the commentary a little distasteful; there's no need for rape jokes, even though he's not intending to cause offense.

Post by: Safran on January 14, 2013, 06:14:12 pm
Okay, been reading what you all have been saying. And i must say, i like Pewdie.
You know why, because i have been watching him from when he was cursing and screamed like a baby. And he has really changed, like ALOT.

   Before, i didn't mind some of the rape jokes. But sometimes they got over the top, and i would gain a little less respect for him. But hes acually became more mature, and he keeps the jokes at a minimum. And that gained my respect, my fellow FH players.

   But most importantly, he plays for his Bros. He does NOT think about the money, but about communicating with the Bros. Why do you think he has expanded his gameplay? Because his subs found him boring and has suggested alot more games for him to play

Being a youtuber who is subscribed to many Let's Players like Chuggaconroy, Mindez, ScottishDuck, and Pewdiepie himself, I think this would be a nice conversation to jump into.

For one thing, I do love watching Let's Plays, usually of games I've already played or games I'm interested in.
I guess you can say I don't mind spoiling myself.

Either because the game hasn't been localized yet and might not be in a while,
or because I doubt that I will ever get it if it's exclusive to a game console I don't have.

It's also because I love to see how people react to the moments that were my most favorite or memorable in the game, if I played it myself.

I admit it, I've only just recently subscribed to Pewdiepie, when my friend told me that he was doing a Let's Play of Shadow of the Colossus.
I've been watching him since, and I focus on only three of his Let's Plays;
Shadow of the Colossus, Journey, and Scribblenauts Unlimited.

And I admit it, they always make me laugh.
I've come to ignore those more mature jokes, especially since they've apparently "died down" (I've never seen his Let's Plays of Amnesia or Slender, because I don't like playing games that are specifically made to give people horrible nightmares. :/)

He does tend to go a little far when playing Scribblenauts Unlimited,
but I'd say that he's improved,
since he doesn't make a lot of those jokes while playing Journey, and most of those few are minor.

But Pewdiepie is funny to me. Especially those Agro impressions in SOTC.
"But peeewds! Wait for me, I'm not a tree, I PROMISE!!"

I dislike PewDiePie. I, personally, do not think he is funny. Nor do I like his taste in videogames.

HOWEVER. I respect the bounderies of opinions. We are all alowed to have our own opinions, and I don't immediately lable a PewDiePie fan with put downs or bashing. But the same should go for the fans. I have been cussed out just for simply saying "I don't really like PewDiePie as a LPer."
