Yes, even Pewds has moments where he just isn't his usual self and brings out some real sad stuff.
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- His expression while listening to the homeless peoples' stories in part 6 of his Beyond: Two Souls playthrough. While he doesn't cry, it's rather sombering, especially for fans who are used to his comedic exaggerated sobbing.
- As a double-sombering moment for Canadian fans, that episode went up on their Thanksgiving. Ouch.
- Timmy from Happy Wheels gets blown up, shredded, impaled, yelled at, and forgotten on an alarmingly frequent basis.
- His reaction to Seiko's death in Corpse Party. He loses the chipper a considerable lot afterwards and is visibly shaken by it.
- His entire reaction to the game. He is noticeably calm. His face throughout the playthrough can be described as shock.
- The ending of episode four of his Journey (2012) LP, where his accomplice Bengt dies in the snow. What makes it worse is that you had no idea that it was coming—you only had a hint from the episode title ("SADDEST ENDING!") that a Tear Jerker was going to drop. But after tagging alongside Pewdie for the entirety of the game up until that point, Bengt's death was rather jarring for most bros. Made even worse by the goofy, upbeat outro music that plays afterward.Felix: Just a little further, Bengt. Just a little further. I always admire your stamina, Bengt. You were always the toughest one. But hey—we always manage to make our way through it, no matter how hard the times were. Right, Bengt? Remember that time that dragon nearly killed you? It nearly killed me. I tried to save you, but you just ran. You're crazy. I think I might have to amputate my legs, cuz they're freezing. This is worse than climbing Mount Everest. NO—I can't move anymore, Bengt! I'm a little scared. Wh-what's going on? Bengt? Bengt, what's happening? I don't feel so good. Bengt, sing to me! Sing to me, Bengt! Where's your scarf? NO! We're dying, Bengt! I wanted you to know--that you were the brightest. You were the greatest, Bengt. I love you. Don't leave me. Stay with me. (Bengt dies) BEEEEEEEEEEENGT!
- The season 2 finale of The Walking Dead has Pewds burst into tears
after realizing he chose to shoot Kenny, lamenting on how it was his time to go due to increasing Sanity Slippage and expressing subdued anger and disappointment at Jane for the entire Batman Gambit she orchestrated. He ends up with the Clementine Alone ending and is shown to be still visibly shaken by the entire ordeal after the credits finish.Felix: (voice breaking) This fucking shit again... - During Among the Sleep, Pewds being his usual self has found out that the mother's alcoholism was the monster all along. While his reaction isn't a tearjerker, the fact that he's playing a baby when he picks up a bottle of alcohol and brings it to his mom to make her feel better is.
- His let's play of That Dragon, Cancer. It's possibly the heaviest game he has ever played.
- While "Congratulations" (the song he made to congratulate T-Series) was pretty in jest and sarcastic, there's a Subdued Section of the song where Felix, from his room, accepts his loss, thanks his audience for sticking with him through the ups and downs of his career, and offers — for the first time in an incredibly long while — a brofist. Equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking.So this is it, thanks for sticking with my channel
Ever since I was a nobody screaming at barrels
Yeah, this is it, it's been an adventure
It's the end of the reign of Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg
Through all the change and controversy, you've been by my side
There's no army in the world I would rather give me watch time
It's been a wild ride, so while I can still be heard
Here's one last brofist from the number one in the world. - A great many from his Minecraft let's play.
- Every time one of Pewds' pets dies feels like an arrow to the heart. To name a few:
- The death of Joergen in Part 5. Pewds had brought Joergen into the Nether and was attempting to return, but since Pewds built the portal on an enclosed wall across the portal range, Joergen teleported back to the Overworld and collided with the wall in back of the portal, which suffocates and kills him. Pewds was so struck with grief for what he had done, that even after receiving another trusty steed, he couldn't ever forget him. Pewds built a memorial as a reminder of their adventures together.
- Water Sheep's death in Part 14. When trying to create a new contraption to torture Water Sheep, Pewds accidentally kills him by hurting him too much with a magma block, sending him into a brief Heroic BSoD... only for him to snap back and enlist a replacement.
- Joergen #2's death in Part 19. It starts off innocently enough, with Felix excited at seeing Joergen in a minecart and wanting to have him go for a ride on his underground roller coaster, but as soon as the minecart goes, Joergen #2 starts suffocating and Felix runs after him with wheat to try and keep Joergen alive but can't catch up. When Felix finally does catch up, all he finds is a saddle and some leather. The video cuts to black and ends a few seconds after he makes this discovery.
- The death of Bernie in part 20. After Joergen #2 died, Pewds decided to tame another mount, a donkey named Bernie. Pewds brought him on a village raid where alongside his master, Bernie fought valiantly. But after taking multiple arrows shot by a raiders, Bernie died leaving Pewds without a steed. Pewds managed to win, but the victory was bittersweet with the loss of Bernie.
- Toward the end of Minecraft just became 10x better!, Felix builds a slime block redstone trampoline for his dogs. The fun abruptly comes to an end when Sven's BF dies from fall damage. Not wanting to put his pets at any more risk, Felix flies far away. It's heartbreaking to see him leave behind the home he's worked so hard to create throughout the series.
- Sven got trapped in an underwater cavern Pewds discovered when digging through the ocean floor, and Pewds couldn't save him immediately. In the next episode, Pewds wasted no time to save him.
- Joergen #2 almost getting himself killed several times in Part 9.
- Every time one of Pewds' pets dies feels like an arrow to the heart. To name a few:
