*INHALE*
This video is about something
completely different
Before Pewdiepie would become the king of Youtube
I'm sure you've seen these videos,
out there
Before Pewdiepie was ever a guest
on the late night show with Steven Colbert
They seem quite popular
and they like to show up in your suggestion bar,
unsolicited
Before Felix raised over 1 million dollars
for his various charities
Before they were famous videos
[earrape]
I mean, who-who doesn't want to know
what happened to
Brock Lesnar
or Fouseytube
who doesn't want to see all those people
before, they were famous
And of course,
there's one of me.
let's watch it
together!
Before there was ever a Bro Army,
before he started earning $4 million a year
$4 million a year?
CHUG
Ehh
That's cute
Felix Keelberg
Hehe
WOaOH
Wuhahaha
Felix KEELBURG
Ehehehwhatthefuck
*Disgust*
Sorry, what?
[earrape] FELIX KEELBURG
Why is it so hard for people to pronounce my name?
I don't think it's that hard.
SHELL-BERG,
Kjellberg.
Maybe that's why they made an updated version
I'm kinda curious.
Pewdiepie was born
Felix Schkell-kalberg...
Felix Kaliberg!
Felix Kjellberg?
Okay, you guys try doing it
No.
Nope, I guess
guess they didn't get it right in that one either, huh?
Felix KEELberg inititally went on to University
to pursue a career in technology management,
and industrial economics.
He then dropped out,
opting instead to start up a career
on Youtube and when
he first started his side job,
UH, tttT-T-T-T-T-T
wHY
does everyone
get this story wrong?
I see it everywhere!
so, I don't
I don't blame you Mr..
M-Mc-mEh
mcCRUHEDEN
I dropped, I-I dropped out of Hi-
uh, I dropped out of University
because I didn't like it.
To drop outta H-..
University
To pursue Youtube,
that'd just be fuckin stupid.
I'm not that dumb, alright?
HehUhhe
You may think
that this
hhehshumsdhs
I wouldn't do
I wouldn't do that
What do you think, I'm some loser?
uHH
MOM DAD
I'm gonna drop out of high school...
cause I wanna be a Youtuber! (Yes you would do that Felix)
It was boring, alright?
It was fuckin boring.
Is that a big surprise for everyone?
It was boring—Industrial management and economics
It was boring as hell,
everyone was boring as hell
I-I couldn't relate to fuckin anyone
"Oh, a video game! Is that like uh..
hmhmhmh
"I love playing with the Wii!
Oh, you don't like video games?
thEN I CAN'T RELATE
THEN WE HAVE NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT
He then dropped out,
opting instead to start up a career on Youtube,
And when he first started his side job
was selling hot dogs on the street!
A lot of people seem to wanna shit on me
because I used to sell hot dogs
yeah like you all had prestigious jobs
And you know what?
My hot dogs
were fuckin
*Quality* UGH, so fuckin good
And you know what?
Most people didn't even sell—
wanna buy hot dogs.
Actually,
uh
we didn't e-ehEH
the guy,
my boss was so fuckin cheap.
He was like,
"Don't cook the hot dog!"
hmph
"just microwave them"
"and dip them in the hot dog sauce!"
"People don't tell the difference."
Pewdiepie was born on October 24th, 1989
and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden.
heh
inHALE
[claps]
Yes!
eAHAHAHaha
UH
*Pewdiepie is Goofy now*
That's Stockholm.
The capital of Sweden.
How do you fuck that up?
Just google Gothenburg!
There's plenty of pictures,
how do you fuck that up?!
His mother, Johanna
is a former Kappa CIO
and his fa-
pFFT
I'm the only one who thinks this is funny
because he's so fuckin bad
KappAhl
Kappah
KappAhl
Kappa
KappAhl, it's KappAhl. It's a ver-
well-known
uh
clothing company
His mother Johanna is a-
First of all, JoHAnna
not JoANna
Fuck me! (With pleasure)
God damn it,
do I have to keep going?
And his father, Ulf
is also a Chief Executive for this company.
No, he's CEO of another company.
But, uh you did it.
Felix entered a photoshop competition
and again, he got to flex his creative muscle.
He ended up winning, and his art was put on display
in an art gallery.
Yeah, this is the art that I put out
for my uh
art gallery
yeah [gibberish]
it looks uh [gibberish]
[kiss]
so good
Fuckin hell, you could have at least
like showed some of my work, okay?
Hey, I like to photoshop girls
alright?
It's fun
So the real story here is that I
I loved photoshop,
that's what I wanted to do instead of
school
I almost got an apprenticeship at
one of the best advertising agencies
in uh, in Scandinavia
I was so close
it was like between me and another person
and then I didn't get the job
And I was like
FUCK
But I wanted to do Youtube as well,
and so I managed to sell some of these pictures
Uh, because I printed like
a limited edition
But enough to buy like a computer
and when I had the computer,
I could start making videos
That's how I got started
THAT'S the story
You're welcome
At this time, Youtube was home to plenty of vloggers
but there was no one that stuck solely
to that of a video game-vlogger
So quickly, he had realized he had found himself a little niche.
It is true though
I remember,
there was no big gamers back in the day
it was all just like,
fuckin vloggers
They were so big, like
big names like Ray William Johnson
I paved the path
you're welcome by the way
alright?
If you're a gamer on Youtube
you should fuckin
SUCK MY DICK
While he was a student at Chalmers,
his videos started to take off.
Attracting an increasingly large number of viewers
This is so awkward like,
trust me it's the most awkward fuckin thing
if you make videos and like,
if other people know about it or not,
when that line is like
cause obviously I didn't go around
and show people all my videos.
So, some people discovered them by themself
and it's
like
the people that are in your friend group
when they find out you make videos
it's so fuckin awkward
It's not a good time to be a Youtuber
when that happens
While playing the video game "Amnesia"
he found himself scared and thought
it might relieve some of the stress
if he put the camera on himself
as some way of having company while playing the game.
That's true
It wasn't a huge success
it was more like,
the start of something
I never got like,
a viral video that just
WOO
boom, made me big
It just, I just kinda kept making videos
and built an audience
and luckily you guys keep coming in
that's...
I'm proud of that
I'm really proud of that fact that
it's just been something I built by myself
and not just been lucky with a big boom hit
or whatever
Felix recalled that there was
mm
Felix recalled that this was the first time
*Fap*
*Disappointed Pewds*
Just take this video down dude it's embarrasing...
*Lolz*
Sorry, what was that?
Felix recalled that there was-
