It's funny because it's true.
Wow, this is pretty bad.
"Lets play" videos aren't my thing so I've never seen PewDiePie before, in fact, all I knew about him was that he has a lot of annoying fans and a lot of equally annoying haters -- Neither of whom will shut up about the guy. After watching this video I am devastatingly shocked at how many fans he has. The screeching is bad enough but it genuinely blows my mind how he can so casually joke about rape in this decade and get away with it. Man, if I thought you even insinuate rape in a humorous way you're going to get crucified, or does that only go for Microsoft at E3 conferences?
That video is a select few clips designed to make Pewdiepie look as bad as possible, using some of his very early work when his subscribers numbers in the low thousands and he hadn't found his pace yet. Not only has he toned himself down, he's also more careful about casual off colour remarks that might offend people, like rape comments.
If you base your opinion of Pewdiepie on that video, which 90% of his detractors do (and then spread the video to other people to join them in their detraction), then your opinion means nothing. It would be like saying Romeo and Juliet is a comedy set in a gay bar because you watched a five minute clip of Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet featuring Mercutio.
OF course I could direct you to his more current work, but you've already made up your mind.
