PewDiePie Is Back On YouTube And Has Learned Absolutely Nothing During His Hiatus

His hiatus was always going to end this way, let's be real.

Well that hiatus didn’t last long did it? After PewDiePie announced he was taking some much-needed time off from YouTube due to “burn out”, he came crawling back a mere month later with a video on topics like the coronavirus and Ninja’s dumb take on self-improvement.

So has PewDiePie learned anything during his time off? In a word: nope.

Speaking of the coronavirus, the GOAT team dive into the biggest talking points about the disease on ‘It’s Been A Big Day For…’ below:

After talking about what he got up to during his hiatus (he went to Japan), PewDiePie immediately got back to his old racist ways by talking about the coronavirus outbreak. And when I say PewDiePie talked about the coronavirus, I mean he made some pretty racist comments about Chinese people.

The YouTuber starts off by saying he bought a bunch of face masks while in Japan before dismissively calling the coronavirus “the thingy” and “coronachan”. PewDiePie then dusted off some of his racism material by mockingly speaking some Chinese-sounding gibberish that makes no sense before putting on three face masks and says:

“You can joke about stuff right? Yeah you can joke about stuff. We’re cool.”

Sure you can joke about stuff if you’re actually saying something that’s funny and has substance. What you’re doing here is just trivialising the coronavirus and people’s suffering in a pretty racist way, PewDiePie. But hey, it’s par for the course for him.

PewDiePie’s return video also had a bit where he reacted to Ninja’s horrendously bad take on anger. Unlike all the coronavirus stuff, the YouTuber was surprisingly quiet (relatively speaking) on this, preferring to just laugh at all the memes made at Ninja’s expense.

Some top-shelf PewDiePie Ninja material would’ve been nice but I can’t imagine an idiot talking about another idiot would’ve been that enlightening.

I expected very little from PewDiePie upon his return and I’m still disappointed. It’s my fault really for expecting someone like PewDiePie could change. His whole career and life is built upon a foundation of this stuff so why would he change a winning formula, regardless of how cooked it is.

Here’s hoping PewDiePie’s return will last as long as his hiatus did and another “taking time off” video isn’t too far off in the future.

Mark Zuckerberg's Armpit Handler Undoubtedly Has The Worst Job At Facebook

Why care for his armpits himself like a pleb when he can pay someone to do it?

We all know that working at Facebook isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, and it’s not just based on watching The Social Network. Just ask all the poor content moderators who are stress-banging each other in office stairwells to deal with the trauma. But as awful as those jobs are, the worst job in Facebook almost certainly goes to the armpit handler for the social media/misinformation giant‘s alien (or robot) founder, Mark Zuckerberg.

Speaking of social media, the GOAT team talk about how Steven Spielberg’s daughter told the world on IG she’s becoming an adult entertainer on ‘It’s Been A Big Day For…’ below:

Bloomberg published a review of a book titled Facebook: The Inside Story, which goes deep into the company and its executives, including Mark Zuckerberg. The book sounds like an intriguing look into the fustercluck that’s going on at the company, but that is all secondary to a bizarre anecdote Bloomberg found about Zuck and his sweaty armpits.

Apparently ol’ mate Zuck gets super nervous before he delivers a speech and gets a bad case of the anxiety sweats. Since a having a big visible sweat patch on your shirt isn’t a good look, the Facebook founder deals with it by getting a member of his communication team to blowdry his armpits before he takes to the stage.

Let’s see, moderate Facebook content or help dab the armpits of your CEO. That’s a tough decision but moderating traumatic Facebook content wins out here (barely) since dabbing an alien/robot’s armpits doesn’t sound pleasant.

Needless to say that thought of one of the world’s most powerful men getting someone to dry his armpits for him resulted in a roasting on social media (somewhat ironically), and Twitter chief executive had a pretty good dig at Zuck about it.

You’re probably wondering why doesn’t Mark Zuckerberg just deal with his sweaty armpits himself or simply not wear grey T-shirts. The answer is… actually we don’t have a good answer to that.

But when you’re the founder of Facebook, you have a lot of other things to worry about than your sweaty armpits so you might as well throw money at the problem.

And besides, masquerading as a human isn’t easy when you’re an alien (or robot) and Zuck probably didn’t know what humans did when his armpits started excreting some weird fluid and needed some outside assistance.
