About

Charlie's earlier videos focused primarily on Pussy and performing glitches on shooter games, such as Battlefield and Call of Duty. However, his videos have evolved into gameplay and commentary on various types of topics, including internet drama and Karens. He also has a reviewing series known as the Moist Meter where he reviews games and movies on a scale of 0%-100% and every year or so hosts the Moisties a countdown of the top five best and worst games and movies. He is most known for his deep, monotonous voice and absurd humor. He used to upload 1-2 videos a week, but that has since changed to uploading daily content.

History

Charlie first joined YouTube as Penguinz0 on May 7, 2007. Following a brief period of time, he uploaded his first video on August 5 in the same year. It was titled "gears of war jetpack glitch (NO Standby or lag switch) AP" and its main topic was on the performance of a glitch in the video game "Gears Of War". His video received little attention and he made a few other videos which followed by a video on a montage of his sniping in video games and a short series of videos attributing to Halo 3, Gears Of War Series, and Bioshock. These videos all gained little reception and attention.

Charlie gained brief popularity on his first video where he actually commentated over it, which was "Aliens vs Predator Let Rock Achievement Guide". His low voice was noted by several YouTubers who had watched his video and praised his notable "deep voice" and "seriousness". Charlie allegedly took note of his performance in the video and began commentating over several videos, though they mainly focused on tutorials and were more solemn.

Charlie's first brush with humor was touched on in his video "Battlefield BC 2 Hilarious Round Saving Destruction", which was about an accident in the video game, Battlefield Bad Company 2, which he considered humorous. He would later upload several videos concerning humorous moments and periods transpiring through Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Charlie's intentional sarcasm in expressing humor over commentating developed over a string of videos, he entitled the "Fun Tactics." They consisted of mainly humorous and ludicrous methods of protection and assault.

Charlie's first video in which he entirely focused on delivering humor in the form of insults and sarcasm through commentary was a video titled "Modern Warfare 2 Ground War 1-20 Gameplay and Commentary". He deliberately gave a hilariously bad performance in playing a Ground War of Ream Deathmatch in the multiplayer category of "Modern Warfare 2". In his content, he repeatedly insulted players who killed him while poking fun at himself and repetitive use of self-encouragement in which he praised himself while also using mild forms of criticism. The video, as a result, gained wide critical acclaim and performed better than his early videos in terms of views. He will later cover a variety of video games while commentating over Call of Duty games with the same "terrible" performances.

Rise In Popularity

Charlie's videos had gained high critical acclaim following his commentaries over video games. They were often praised as "hilarious" and "sarcastic," and several YouTubers claimed to have cried out of laughter.

However, Charlie's audience expanded at a rapid rate after he uploaded a video titled "The Most Difficult Game Ever Created Gameplay and Commentary." In the content, he commented overplaying the online computer game titled "QWOP" and associated it with the "hardest game he had ever played." The game's goal was to control the movements of an athlete to produce a running stance to complete a dash. Charlie repeatedly lashed out at the game itself and the production while attempting to move the character but fail. Charlie's primary focus was on sarcasm, commentary, and insult as he tries to complete the game. The video ended with him failing and cursing the video game.

The video eventually gained popularity and Ray William Johnson took note of and reviewed it, establishing the humor and praised Charlie's sense of insults and association with the word 'nipple'. The video's view count subsequently raised at a drastic rate, and Charlie earned a considerable number of views, along with his number of subscribers increasing at an exponential rate.

Career

Several rumors and claims attribute Charlie's relation to a partnership with an unknown source of a company. He is allegedly being paid regarding his videos and topics but uses the money to pay off charities.

His first note on charities was highlighted upon his video concerning "Charity," in which he discusses his financial matters and his motive to give money to charities. He also confirmed that he was not being paid to make his videos. However, rumours will eventually rise about him establishing a partnership with another company after his videos on charities were made, which focuses on his "philanthropy."

Charlie has since ceased donating to charities after looking into the history of the charities he donated to, found most of the money he donated wouldn't go to the charities, but instead into the pockets of the organizers. He confirmed this during multiple interviews with guests on the Official Podcast.

Since 2018 he began broadcasting on Twitch. He used to stream on YouTube but became afraid of the moderation of the site and lack of communication between him and YouTube’s support team. He streams games and watches chat suggested videos.

Style

Charlie is widely known for his usage of elaborate, vulgar descriptions and "creative curses." He has also been associated with a wide range of audiences with the word "nipple" due to his excessive habit of voicing it out whenever he encounters a problematic situation in a video game he commentates over. He previously covered a small range of first and third-person shooters. However, he currently plays a variety of video games that had gained cult followings in public and often blatantly describes them through sarcasm.

Charlie often uses sarcasm to praise and criticize video games' points deliberately and values in morals, often subjecting himself to experimentation with the video games' environment. His dry humor is often subjective to the topics of the video games, though his usage of vocabulary and reactions are considered universal in his range of video games.

Charlie is also noted to "not fear anything" due to his subtle responses/reactions to typically terrifying scenarios in video and indie games. However, he was once shocked by the sudden swift appearance of a leaf in a "Medal of Honor" video game commentary, and several of his subscribers have jokingly teased him ever since with such points and reminders.

Anonymity

Charlie is known to rarely interact with his audience, except for videos and series. He rarely replies to YouTube comments, despite his active use of responding in his earlier videos. When he replies, it is often towards questions that highlight the importance of his videos, and his replies are often abrupt and brief. In his video entitled "Messages," he claims he usually replies to YouTube private messages. However, a Reddit page has been made based around him, and he sometimes posts or reply to posts there. He also replies to his audience on his Twitch where he streams a lot

Charlie's real-life status is also often debated furiously upon his subscribers. However, a video gained notoriety among his subscribers after it highlighted Charlie's apparent "face" when the link is clicked through his FaceBook profile and is connected to a photograph in an album that depicts a teenager in a large shirt with tattoos scribbled on both of his arms. He is making a supposed "gang" symbol. This has sparked off extensive debates over whether the teenager is Charlie. Charlie has not responded to the photographs.

In the video "Paint the Town Red Gameplay and Commentary", Charlie mentioned posting a snap chat story a day of himself playing the recorder, then proceeded to publish his snap chat username in the comments. Several fans claim to have been added by him and have spread a video and a photo. It has been confirmed that this is indeed him, and since posting the snaps, he has gone on to post many more, confirming further that it is genuinely him.

In multiple Official Podcast episodes and in Twitch streams, Charlie confirmed the rumor that he has abandoned Snapchat. His reason being a disliking of an update he claims "ruined it".

On March 5, 2017, Charlie uploaded a video "10 Years on YouTube" in which he revealed his face, after a warning for viewers that may have wanted him to stay anonymous. Since then, he began to slowly feel more comfortable showing his face in videos, and as of 2019, many of his videos in which he talks to the camera are just stills of his face. The stills are provided by YouTube, as he doesn't produce his own thumbnails. On his streams, he also has a face cam on, letting viewers see his reactions during gameplay and his recent "Just Chatting" Streams.

From 2017, in a video previously mentioned, Charlie's anonymity has been abandoned since, and he regularly uploads videos of his face talking into a webcam.

In a "Black Ops" video, Charlie claimed to have "gone to school, paused the recording, and returned with straight A's", which started a debate as to whether he is still young enough to go to school or was simply an implication of sarcasm. He once mentioned being in his senior year of college, in a Snapchat. He graduated from the University of Tampa in 2016.

In Charlie's video "Aliens vs Predator Let Rock Achievement Guide", a comment was found by the user xTwistedHitsx, which read "damn charlie your voice got deep" which may be evidence towards Penguinz0's real first name. This was later confirmed by the text in the video "I still can't think of the title", where the game saves in Charlie's user profile[1]. There have been several cases of people digging deep and finding out his true identity, but for his own privacy, this information will not be posted on this article (except where we will post his identity at the start of this page).
