In his latest episode of You Laugh You Lose tonight, PewDiePie got a little sidetracked as he introduced the YouTube segment.

While the 29-year-old ruler of YouTube was there to try not to laugh at a bunch of (hilarious) memes, the Swedish streamer – real name Felix Kjellberg – addressed the ongoing rivalry between his channel and that of T-Series’.

The Indian music label very quickly edged in front of Pewds for a short period this evening, by a few thousand followers. It was pretty nail-biting.


However, before any champagne could be popped and celebrations at their HQ begin, PewDiePie clawed back and currently sits more than 11,000 subscribers ahead.

In a very well-timed post right after he clawed back the YouTube crown, Felix posted his latest video and addressed the subgap.



‘Has T-series beat us? First of all, round of applause. I thought it was the end game, but we’re still in it and we’re still kicking it,’ he said, perhaps not knowing the mayhem that ensued just minutes before he set his latest vlog live.

‘It would be awkward while I make this video, very happy, very cheerful and somehow T-Series has passed out of nowhere.’

Okay, does he literally make the video and then set it live? This guy is good with the timing!

Anyway, he then referenced the fact a whole bunch of Indian celebrities had began rallying for T-Series recently. Seems they were finally riffing on what a whole bunch of YouTubers have been doing for Pewds – like MrBeast’s massive call to arms for punters to ‘sub to PewDiePie’.

And he wasn’t afraid to call out their last ditch effort for more subscribers.

‘They’re calling in the cavalry. All these Indian celebrities going, “hey I’m not paid to do this and I’m not paid to say this but subscribe to T-Series”,’ he joked on Wednesday.

‘”Oh and there’s definitely not a gun to my head…but subscribe to T-Series”.’

He continued: ‘I don’t care. Pathetic!

‘I barely relied on help from anyone!’

We mean, Pewds, that’s not true – you have most of YouTube behind you…but we guess you didn’t ask for them to support you…did you?

Did T-Series? Who knows what’s going on these days.

The record label, which has also passed the 89 million mark, has been going full steam ahead in its attempt to overtake Pewds.

After months of silence, Bhushan Kumar, the Managing Director of T-Series uploaded a video, urging supporters to subscribe to ‘Make India win.’

Since, famous faces from India have come out in droves to promote the channel, including actor Anil Kapoor, who told fans: ‘Attention, attention, attention! India’s very own YouTube channel is on the verge of becoming the world’s number one YouTube channel.

‘So put all your hearts into winning this. All you have to do is subscribe to T-Series on YouTube.’
