PewDiePie may be known today as the largest individual YouTuber in the world in with over 104 million subscribers, but in 2010 it was his Let\u2019s Plays of the horror title Amnesia: The Dark Descent that first began his journey to the top. During his latest upload, the Swedish entertainer responded to those accusing him of faking his jumpscare reactions in the classic videos by hilariously demonstrating why he\u2019s easily startled. Related \u2013 How The Mob Went From Trolls to Thieves PewDiePie responds to accusations In his latest video, the YouTuber watched content on the Twitter account \u2018The strangest videos online\u2019 where he reacted to a host of bizarre clips. After being startled by one of the posts, the Swede was reminded of his horror Lets Plays. \u201cI\u2019m so easily startled!\u201d he laughed, before explaining \u201cIt\u2019s so funny, because when I used to do horror games, everyone would accuse me \u201che\u2019s faking it! he\u2019s faking it!\u201d \u2026 I get scared easily!\u201d The popular entertainer then joked, \u201cIt\u2019s a natural reaction because I\u2019ve so much testosterone that anything that comes at me, I meet with an \u201cAhh!\u201d It\u2019s a tactic. A defense tactic!\u201d (Timestamp 03:43 for mobile users.) After watching another scary clip later in the video, he exclaimed, \u201cLook, I get goosebumps!\u201d as he raised his arm up to the camera. \u201cI don\u2019t know what it is. My imagination is scarier then the video!\u201d The Swedish star\u2019s response to year-old accusations was hilarious, as he genuinely became startled while watching the bizarre clips online. Despite his years of experience, the jump scare still got the best of him. While the YouTuber has largely focused on reaction style content in recent years, he made his glorious return to gaming in 2019 with his epic Minecraft series which exploded on the platform. In 2018, PewDiePie actually re-visited Amnesia, making it almost eight years since he first played the career-defining title for his audience. With how popular they are, who knows \u2013 maybe fans will get some more horror videos in the future. The Swede continues to crush it on the Google-owned platform, pulling in millions of views an upload. It seems his much-deserved break at the beginning of 2020 has not slowed him down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PewDiePie responds to accusations of faking YouTube horror Lets Plays YouTube: PewDiePie \/ Frictional GamesDuring his April 30 upload, YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg explained why those believing his old horror Let\u2019s Plays were \u201cfaked\u201d are wrong.
