History LetsPlay / PewDiePie

Creating his channel in 2010, Kjellberg gained a following for his [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]], mainly of horror games, with cited factors for his videos' appeal including his [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl reactions]], [[FunnySchizophrenia recurring]] [[Characters/PewDiePie characters]], {{Running Gag}}s (namely a [[BerserkButton hatred of barrels]]), [[SirSwearsALot tendency to curse]], [[LargeHam exceptional hamminess]], and [[SurrealHumor general bizarre sense of humor]]. His [=YouTube=] career became his main life venture after dropping out of a university business degree due to personal dislike of school[[note]]''not'' solely to start his [=YouTube=] career, [[CowboyBeBopAtHisComputer as has been commonly reported]] and which he once stated would have been a "fucking stupid" idea[[/note]], although he has stated since that he did it first and foremost out of love for making videos, as there were no prominent gaming [=YouTubers=] or means to make money from the website when he started.

Kjellberg's channel grew substantially in the following years, becoming one of the fastest-growing on [=YouTube=] in 2012 and 2013 before eventually overtaking WebVideo/{{Smosh}} as the most-subscribed channel in August of the latter year. Between 2014 and 2017, he diversified his content to include vlogs, sketches, music videos and recurring series. Some of the most popular of these series include ''Pew News''[[note]]in which a dizzying number of characters [[InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals all]] played [[ActingForTwo by Kjellberg]] discuss [=YouTube=] news (although Kjellberg himself rather conspicuously gives his own serious opinions); and that's not even getting into the [[MythArc wider story]].[[/note]], ''Meme Review''[[note]]where Kjellberg comments on one or several new memes[[/note]], and ''LWIAY''[[note]]short for ''Last Week I Asked You''; a shameless {{expy}} of the WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}} series ''Yesterday I Asked You'' (''YIAY'') where Kjellberg looks at fan-submitted memes on his [[http://reddit.com/r/pewdiepiesubmissions subreddit]][[/note]]. Towards the end of the 2010s and entering the 2020s, Kjellberg would become more reserved online and eventually consider himself semi-retired, only uploading videos for fun.

Kjellberg has also been known to collaborate with the higher-ups of his networks. In late 2015, following the announcement of [=YouTube=] Red[[note]]now [=YouTube=] Premium[[/note]], a paid subscription service for the site, news broke of Kjellberg starring in a series named ''Scare [=PewDiePie=]'', made by the creator and executive producers of ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' and revolving around him going through real-life places designed after the horror games he became famous for playing. The first season of the show was released from February to April of 2016, the same year that Kjellberg also initiated his own personal YT network under Maker Studios named Revelmode. Both his network and plans to release a second season of ''Scare [=PewDiePie=]''[[note]][[NewSeasonNewName now called]] ''Scare [=PewDiePie=]: Multiplayer'', co-starring LetsPlay/JackSepticEye, and slated to premiere in March 2017[[/note]] were shut down following a particularly nasty controversy.

* CloningBlues: In Pewdie's take on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaRRR7b6X0M the Charlie Charlie Challenge]], [[spoiler:the pencil moves because an offscreen second Pewdie is manipulating it. Pewdie verbally reprimands his clone for making the two of them look bad, and forces him to leave the room.]]

** In his walkthrough of ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'', he becomes very attached to and protective of Clementine, the little girl the player character takes in. Her being in danger often gets always gets a spazzy scream out of Pewds.

Saying that Kjellberg is a prominent figure on not just [=YouTube=] but the Internet -- especially for outsiders and media personalities looking in -- is an understatement. His prominence has given him the ability to ColbertBump whatever he chooses to give exposure to, especially if it's obscure, but it has [[BlessedWithSuck also]] made him one of the most polarizing [=YouTubers=] on the platform for a variety of reasons, especially following a number of particularly serious controversies in the late 2010s.

His Italian wife, Marzia Kjellberg (née Bisognin), a since-retired creator in the [=YouTube=] beauty community, has her own page [[WebVideo/CutiePieMarzia here]]. The two began dating in 2011 and married in August 2019; their first child, a son named Björn, was born on July 11, 2023. They have been living in Japan since 2022.

* KentBrockmanNews: Pew News is a parody of mainstream news outlets like Creator/{{CNN}} and [=YouTube=] drama shows like Keemstar's [=DramaAlert=]. It's supposedly the most unbiased news show, though the reporters constantly inject their opinion on the subject (even if they're not supposed to).

* StupidStatementDanceMix: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxw3C5HJ2XU "Jabba the Hutt"]], made by Music/{{Schmoyoho}} specifically for Pewds.

* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** The scenario in his ''VideoGame/BabysitterBloodbath'' video where he ends up having to press a key with rapid succession, which (on camera) makes it look a ''lot'' like he's beating off.
*** Doesn't help that he gets gradually faster each time, to the point where the camera starts trembling.
*** The captions even [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] this.
** A DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything moment in ''VideoGame/TheImpossibleQuiz'' where he has to stroke a lightning rod to the point where it conjures ''white'' lightning.

* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: Part 8 of his VideoGame/TheForest LP is called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWvIjZVy2us "THE GREAT]] [[ADateWithRosiePalms HAND JOB"]].

** His playthrough of VideoGame/ParappaTheRapper was only three parts long, and Pewdie never got past the Full Tank level. Averted, he has now [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvZbyUADqd4 finished the game]].

** His ''VideoGame/{{Seaman}}'' playthrough, due to being too freaked out by the DeathBySex scene.

*** In particular, his SCP: Containment Breach Let's Play where he ignores the sheet of paper he picks up near the beginning telling him that SCP-173 moves when he blinks. The information's [[WhatAnIdiot even highlighted.]]

* LuckyTranslation: The statues have been known to shout "Hallo!", which means "hello" in German. It's pronounced almost exactly like the Swedish "Hallå!", which has the same meaning. What makes this so lucky is that during one of these custom stories, he promised to speak only in Swedish!

* NoPronunciationGuide: Since English is not his first language

* BuxomIsBetter: Rebecca from ''Nosferatu'' strongly motivated him to play the game.
* CallBack: In his VideoGame/{{Outlast}} LP, Pewdie comes across a wall of rocks that are blocking his path. He then says "Jennifer has fucked us."
** When he finds a giant boulder in VideoGame/GoatSimulator, guess what he calls it?

** In one of his videos co-hosted by Cry, [=PewDiePie=] invites him to do the outro. However Cry can't remember it so instead of "Stay awesome bros, bah-hiiiiii" he comes up with "Bro day, every day." which has become a Catchphrase of it's own.
