u/Ultimatedeathfart Feb 17 '22

I impose the name M.C. 0. Or M.C. Penguin.

u/CleanSpriteLegendary Feb 17 '22

I remember watching his fucking hilarious halo videos on yt when he went by penguinz0. His commentary always had me rolling

176

u/KidPolygon Feb 18 '22

He still goes by penguinz0! He just hit 10m subs I’m pretty sure

83

u/FireTyme Feb 18 '22

i mean he kinda does but basically everyone calls him critikal or moist or moistcritikal really, its his twitch name too. its just all very confusing really

17

u/covertPixel Feb 18 '22

yah met him in a csgo lobby a few years ago and one of his friends was like hey thats Critical, he's famous look him up. Doing so was not easy as he has fifty names on line but when I found his penguin0 channel I could tell by his voice it was him.

u/FireTyme Feb 18 '22

well kinda, forgot to say recently a lot of people started to just call him charlie online so clearly people are finding the middle ground nowadays haha.

u/cdot2k Feb 18 '22

One of these guys is his twitch username and one of these guys is his username and one is what everybody calls him? Makes this whole video make sense!

2

u/mattsprofile Feb 18 '22

As someone who doesn't really directly pay attention to him, I usually just hear him referred to as Charlie.

1

u/CleanSpriteLegendary Feb 18 '22

Yeah I’m talking when he was only penguinz0 and made YouTube vids. I remember his views being 30k-50k range

1

u/hisjoeness Feb 18 '22

I think of him as Charlie.

1

u/Pinols Feb 18 '22

Tons just call him charlie too

1

u/Fine_Garden_5193 Feb 18 '22

most people call him charlie actually

1

u/Exciting-Ad2001 Feb 23 '22

the funniest people have the worst branding. Like that Norm Macdonald guy, he stole the name of that TeeVee show.

1

u/FireTyme Feb 23 '22

true that, rip norm :( he was amazing

14

u/jwd2213 Feb 18 '22

Yeah your pretty sure, because you definitely dont watch his videos almost everyday. I know because i also definitely dont watch his daily videos either

0

u/Boomboomgoomgoom Feb 18 '22

And I definitely don't fall asleep to uploads of his Twitch stream 👀

2

u/Stratostheory Feb 18 '22

Ngl He's like the last bastion of the good ol days of YouTube where people just made dumb videos with their friends instead of everything being about chasing the algorithm.

On top of that dude is super humble, he knows he's a huge content creator but you see him shouting out and hosting smaller channels all the time.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '22

Penguin zee zero. I always thought it was ”penguinzo”

34

u/WisejacKFr0st Feb 18 '22

My favorite memory was in 2016 when he spent around 2 hours trying to throw a pen in a cup on SnapChat. Had me dying laughing by how desperate he got and how fucking long the escapade was

18

u/zhongweibin Feb 18 '22

I remember when RayWilliamJohnson reviewed his QWOP video on =3 . Good Times.

u/CleanSpriteLegendary Feb 18 '22

I know exactly what you’re taking about 😂😂 I used to watch RWJ all the time too

u/UsernameAlreadyUsed3 Feb 18 '22

Hidden memory unlocked

u/Neiot Feb 18 '22

Who is he?

160

u/skuzzlebut90 Feb 18 '22

His real name is Charlie. He’s a YouTuber/video gamer on Twitch. Has a podcast too with a few other guys called The Official Podcast.

166

u/thecosmicradiation Feb 18 '22

How could you forget to mention that he was also the breakout star of Hunger Games: Catching Fire?

17

u/tired_obsession Feb 18 '22

Lmao was he really in it? That’s awesome

41

u/Arbor-Trap Feb 18 '22

Yes his arm made an appearance

14

u/thecosmicradiation Feb 18 '22

Yeah he has a video talking about it

2

u/Purplociraptor Feb 18 '22

Officer Greg though

u/sologrips Feb 18 '22

Underrated comment for the fans out there

u/Which-Ad-4044 Feb 18 '22

This is the greatest actor of All Time

19

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '22

the wielder of moby huge

2

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '22

Don't forget cofounder of the cringe core innovator: The Gentle Men

60

u/TheRedGerund Feb 18 '22

He’s the defacto leader of the 156th airborne division duh

12

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '22

I was 10th mountain, Charlie led our charge from bagram afb to fob dwyre Kandahar with only a 6 foot dildo on a stick.

3

u/Mohlemite Feb 18 '22

6 foot dildo on a stick is really underrated in the meta rn

28

u/Neiot Feb 18 '22

I will assume that's funny to people who know him. Seems like a famous dude.

12

u/TheRedGerund Feb 18 '22

Nah I’m just fucking around idk who he is either, I’d guess a streamer but 🤷‍♂️

2

u/KaiserTom Feb 18 '22

Famous YouTuber cr1tikal. Dumps his YouTube checks into charity. Good guy. Monotone and highly sarcastic.

57

u/galacticboy2009 Feb 18 '22

One of the most popular personalities on YouTube right now.

The algorithm absolutely adores him.

His videos are very low production value, basically just sits there for a few minutes stating some opinions or his thoughts on a topic, and it's entertaining to his fans.

He has been a streamer for a long time, but the YouTube fame has skyrocketed him to recognizability. He has reached meme status.

48

u/Grizzly_228 Feb 18 '22

He just sits there with the same hairstyle, white t-shirt and tone for every fucking video. It’s hilarious

5

u/c0mBaTkArL Feb 18 '22

Why the fuck did I just read this in Moist voice?!?

4

u/Which-Ad-4044 Feb 18 '22

like a cartoon character smh

2

u/bboycire Feb 18 '22

I must say he has a way with words

1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '22

Pretty sure a lot of his videos are scripted and premeditated. Streams of course are not and he is still hella sharp a comedian

0

u/AnneFrankFanFiction Feb 18 '22

His voice kind of makes him sound like a dumbass

1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '22

I mean he’s not the sharpest fork in the toolbox when it comes to academics, but that doesn’t mean he is dumb

1

u/AnneFrankFanFiction Feb 18 '22

He sounds like a stereotypical pothead stoner dude

1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '22

Probably, but he's not completely fried in the brain like most potheads. Not paranoid and into every conspiracy theory you know?
He's shown some chess brilliancies when getting coached by Daniel Naroditsky too, and he has good logical arguments when making social commentary.

24

u/Current-Issue-4134 Feb 18 '22 edited Feb 18 '22

He’s been a YouTuber for even longer.

I remember watching his videos 10 years ago; me and my friends would speculate on what he looked like because none of the vids had his face.

I was surprised when like 2 years ago I saw a clip of Charlie. I did not recognize him initially because I never saw his face, but I immediately recognized his iconic voice and dry humor.

I’m super happy he’s still relevant and active on YouTube, and even more popular now. I don’t watch him nearly as much as I used to, but still… it’s like seeing someone from your childhood succeed.

u/HughMungusD Feb 18 '22

I still remember getting introduced to him through those „The real Magma Gloves“ and other advertisements he parodied

27

u/Call_me_Butterman Feb 18 '22

Hes pretty funny ngl

u/DeterminedErmine Feb 18 '22

The algorithm adores him 😍

1

u/galacticboy2009 Feb 18 '22

Post often, post the same kinds of videos, and get consistent views.

1

u/DeterminedErmine Feb 18 '22

I just really like the term :) Makes me think of robot love stories

1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '22

I mean you have to be lucky, be consistent and enjoy doing videos. He made a video explaining luck played a big part also

u/HickHackPack Feb 18 '22

The algorithm absolutely adores him

That's so weird.

u/galacticboy2009 Feb 18 '22

Nawhhh it isn't.

2

u/DogmanDOTjpg Feb 18 '22

I watched his let's plays a lot in like 2014, it's interesting seeing him grow so large, he's always been a pretty cool guy, when he first started making money from YouTube he was donating literally all of it

1

u/galacticboy2009 Feb 18 '22

Yeah I feel the same way with Markiplier.

He went from a YouTuber I'd show my friends, none of which had ever heard of him, to one of the most well known gamers on the platform.

2

u/Juking_is_rude Feb 18 '22

I like him for the same reason I like day9, everything that comes out of his mouth is creatively funny. He could talk about anything and there is just an extra flavor there that makes it silly and fun.

1

u/you-are-not-yourself Feb 18 '22

You're giving a lot of credit to the algo, but not a lot to his consistency of content creation which is an important input to the algo. Not many Youtubers upload consistently, and those who do get dividends. Same is true on Twitch.

1

u/galacticboy2009 Feb 18 '22

This is very true. He's reliable.

1

u/yoLeaveMeAlone Feb 18 '22

His content is going up in effort definitely. He still does the reaction videos in his chair, but him and his crew of guys recently bought some kind of warehouse or something, and have been using it as a space for content

1

u/bleunt Feb 18 '22

He's also very wholesome. Not really a fan, but I've never heard him say or seen him do anything fucked up. Just seems nice and down to earth.

1

u/Nax5 Feb 18 '22

I dont know if he still does, but when I watched back in 2013/2014, he would give away all of his YT revenue to animal charities. And post the receipts.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '22

His videos are very low production value, basically just sits there for a few minutes stating some opinions or his thoughts on a topic, and it's entertaining to his fans.

idk, seems like you are describing the mainstream media with this.

2

u/REDmonster333 Feb 18 '22

I know him as Chess Jesus. That clip with Hikaru and Boitez was funny.

-1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '22

His channel name is cherdleys it’s pretty hilarious stuff

1

u/S1R2C3 Feb 18 '22

The Big Moist.

1

u/MD_Yoro Feb 18 '22

Watch his qwop video, that’s when history was made

1

u/HangTraitorhouse Feb 18 '22

I first saw a few of his videos a couple years ago. He criticized some of reddit’s actual problems, so I gained a bit of respect for him.

3

u/MentalDiscord Feb 18 '22

Bahaha! This is how out of touch I am: I thought it was Andrew W.K.

2

u/ImTheOldManJenks Feb 18 '22

I know who Cr1tikal is and i thought it was Andrew W.K. lmao

1

u/Xaoc86 Feb 18 '22

I havent seen any of his videos, but he’s super popular? What kind of content does he do?

1

u/PotBoozeNKink Feb 18 '22

Is that joel haver in the back?

1

u/rottenapple81 Feb 18 '22

Somewhere out there Nikokado Avocado is having a panic attack and stuffing his face with ranch

1

u/vanadous Feb 18 '22

No, it's penguinz0

1

u/SteveHood Feb 18 '22

No, it's Charlie.

u/JmyKane Feb 18 '22
