These are probably in-jokes I don't have the remaining lifespan to uncover. And now he's made his own.įeaturing PDP himself, in the form of a sprite that bears not even a passing resemblance, he must discover why some evil barrels are attacking him and seemingly destroying his views on YouTube. He's had over 10 billion (with a B) views on YouTube, is more popular than Rhianna, and to be enormously fair, he's made the careers of a good number of indie game developers just by mentioning their games. So it is that the phenomenon of this Swedish-born neighbour of Alec's, Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, is a very rich man for bleating inanely into a camera while having a pretty face. Even though it's obviously not okay and everyone under the age of 20 has clearly lost their mind. It's fine - I don't get it, but it's not for me, and I think it's important to be okay with that. For me, it's YouTube personalities, and it takes everything in me not to put the word in quote marks. My parents stared in confusion as I fell about laughing to Vic Reeve's Big Night Out and listened to Pizzicato 5, their parents were horrified at their raucous rock and roll music, their parents disgusted by the overtly ankle-revealing dance moves. I'm not going to pretend to understand PewDiePie, because I'm old, and I recently came to the realisation that this is my generation's source of bewilderment. And the word "fart" just on its own doesn't quite reach the bar for me. But just a fart noise in a bedroom - no, I'm more refined than that. When a fart sounds a bit like a tune on a trumpet, that's hilarious. When someone farts in a church, that's extremely funny. But I like to think my fart humour has a level of sophistication that requires at least context. The once mobile game, now PC too, is a classic-style arcade game, surely reflecting an era of gaming far, far older than the very oldest of the YouTube star's fans, and boy does it contain farts. "You can now get Edgar Farts in the Pants menu." I'm not sure there's any statement that can better sum up my expectations of PewDiePie's Legend Of The Brofist.
