An Indian music and home movie label company are known as T-Series had been at the time, the fastest-growing YouTube channel since late 2017. From December 2017, T-Series was gaining 100,000 subscribers daily. At this point, T-Series was growing four times faster than Felix was. When T-Series was less than 10 million subscribers behind the PewDiePie channel, Felix and multiple other YouTubers such as Pyrocynical, DramaAlert and MrBeast discussed T-Series.

On August 29, 2018, Felix made his first video on T-Series, which was featured in an episode of LWIAY. Here, Felix mentions T-Series at the start and says he was "Looking to fight back irl." while flaunting a fake sword, to prevent T-Series from surpassing him in subscribers. This was a satirical approach: Felix himself probably has nothing against the company, and nothing against Indians. The video caused many other creators on YouTube and other media to "fight back" as well, making T-Series more well-known among the English-speaking audience.

Felix later published an episode of "Pew News" called "TSERIES EXPOSED? 📰 PEW NEWS📰". Felix read a comment from his Sub-Reddit, which said that you will be automatically subscribed to T-Series once you create an account in India when connecting to their new One-Gigabit mobile phone plans. Felix then asked the Indian fans to test this. He also mentioned the company's channel had over 62 million subscribers. But had little to no views on their recent videos, which raised certain suspicion across both the YouTube and PewDiePie community.

Diss tracks

On October 5, 2018, Felix released a diss track on T-Series titled "bitch lasagna", originally named "T-SERIES DISS TRACK". The song was made with the help of Party In Backyard and shot/edited by Brad. This music video was made during the PewDiePie vs T-Series subscriber battle. At this time T-Series was on rapid steady growth and was planned to overtake PewDiePie in roughly one to two months from when the video was posted.

When the music video was released on Felix's channel, it received more views than Eminem's song, "Venom" in an hour. It also took down T-Series' growth on that day, gaining only 90,000 subscribers, while gaining 120,000 subscribers a day that month himself.

The music video is Felix's most viewed video, surpassing "A Funny Montage", a video which was the most viewed video for 5 years.

Party In Backyard also released an instrumental of the track on November 29, 2018, which soon sparked many covers, remixes and parodies.

On March 31, 2019, Felix released his second diss track on T-Series titled "Congratulations". The song was made with the help of Party In Backyard, RoomieOfficial, Jacksepticeye, Boyinaband and shot/edited by Brad.

This song was a follow-up from the "Bitch Lasagna" music video which was uploaded on October 5, 2018. "Congratulations" is Felix's second most viewed videos on his YouTube channel. This music video was made as a response to T-Series passing 100 Million Subscribers, PewDiePie made several jabs and statements towards the T-Series YouTube channel, this diss-track also surpassed the "A Funny Montage" video, this video was the most viewed video for 5 years until "Bitch Lasagna" surpassed it.

References

"Bitch Lasagna" contains several references which can be found described in-depth on Genius' Bitch lasagna lyric page, many of them being satirical and humorous with no harmful intentions towards them.^[16] For instance, the line "I'm a blue-eyes white dragon while you're just dark magician" refers to Yu-Gi-Oh cards, often seen as "nerdy" and far from the tough superior "diss" persona many rappers use. Many seem to mistake the diss towards Indians as a whole, which isn't the case. The line, "You India, You Lose” for instance, is a reference to his "You Laugh, You Lose" series, which he names "You [Country], You Lose" if the video is about memes from a specific country.

"Congratulations" was also riddled with tons of references like in the video "Bi*ch Lasagna". During the start of the video, PewDiePie was facing away from the camera and as he turned he had his middle finger extended so he could push up his green sunglasses. Many more references ensue like, "Guess to beat one swedish boy, you need a billion asians." This is in reference to the subscriber war with Indians being automatically subscribed to the T-Series YouTube channel when they sign up for their new One-Gigabit mobile phone services.

"Now you're at number one, hope you did nothing wrong like starting your business by selling pirated songs. Oops! Didn't think we'd see? It's right there on Wikipedia.", T-Series did indeed start their company by illegitimately selling songs from other artists and companies without proper licenses or permissions. "Get used to your past being held against you by the media.", PewDiePie on September 11, 2017. PewDiePie said on live stream "What a fucking Ni**er". PewDiePie was ridiculed by several news media sources including a few small TV Stations around the country/world that decided to run the story. "I'm sure right now there's nothing that you're doing that's illegal, yeah", T-Series has been accused for Tax-Evasion and fraud in the country of India. "I'm certain you haven't had collusion's with the mafia."

In 1997, Gulshan Kumar, the founder of T-Series, was murdered by the Mumbai Mafia Syndicate D-Company.^[17] Although there is damning evidence showing they had connections to the D-Syndicate Mafia, Felix stated in the song "For legal reasons, that's a joke." to prevent backlash from supporters of T-Series and the news media. "'Bout to cause a genocide so you can call me hi-", This is one of the more serious references. During 2017 - 2019 PewDiePie was renowned by many hate groups in real life and online as a role model due to the nature of his videos and him saying the N-word. After the release of "Bitch Lasagna", T-Series sent a cease and desist letter to Felix's house, this letter stated that he should cease his actions against T-Series claiming them as "Defamation". Felix then said in the music video, "Had a problem with me telling them to hold their defecation." along with the following lyrics. "But let me educate you, silly, that's not defamation.", "T-Series can eat a dick". (Still not defamation) , "Suck my fucking Swedish meatballs. (Still not defamation)", "Did you know Indians are poo-poo in their brains?", "That's a blatant racist lie, yeah but still not defamation.".

CRY (Child's Rights and You) Charity Organization

Much has been brought to the YouTube community since "PewDiePie vs. T-Series" began. While most of it has been the influx of harmless interaction and jokes, there had been a reserved few who had sparked genuine racism towards Indians. Felix addressed this in his video, "This is getting out of control...", where he asked users to stop making hateful remarks about Indians as he has nothing against them, just the music label; calling the insults "really distasteful [and] unnecessary". In the video's description, he linked a charity fundraiser to support "the Indian 9-year-olds", which raised €179,192 (over the €150,000 goal) in a single day. Felix stated the reason for him doing this is that while it had been fun battling T-Series, he wanted to take the opportunity to create something positive.

MrBeast Advertising PewDiePie

At the start of the PewDiePie vs. T-Series battle, fellow YouTuber MrBeast wanted to help Felix. On October 26, 2018, he released a video called "I Bought Every Billboard In My City For This^[18]", in which he used the Billboards to advertise Felix, urging people to subscribe to him and make sure he stayed the most-subscribed YouTube channel. Additionally, MrBeast used posters, national television, and the radio. T-Series was 100,000 subscribers away from surpassing Felix at this time. After the release of the video and billboards, Felix received over 180,000 subscribers and over 360,000 subscribers the next day. The 360,000 subscribers were the most subscribers Felix had ever received in a day.

Throughout the 'battle', T-Series didn't make any response. They still released music videos, lyric videos, audio of the music and BTS. The only thing T-Series mentioned is that they were "just one small step away from being the worlds largest channel" (in a tweet). The fans criticized T-Series for alleged subscriber-botting. They also retweeted a few tweets from artists that work at T-Series asking fans to subscribe to T-Series.

Indian YouTuber Saiman Says also contributed, putting up T-Series billboards jokingly around India, though he is actually a fan of Felix and set up Felix billboards across India, gaining him a shout-out from Felix.

MrBeast says PewDiePie 100,000 Times

The billboards did not stop T-Series. They were approximately 90,000 subscribers away from surpassing Felix before MrBeast made another video to keep Felix #1 most-subscribed. On November 25, 2018, MrBeast said PewDiePie 100,000 times. At the start of the video, he told his fans and new-comers to subscribe to PewDiePie "and to help him win the war". The subscriber growth was given to Felix once again, gaining 244,000 subscribers on the day of upload and 247,000 subscribers the next day.

Hacked Printers

On November 29, 2018, Twitter users posted screenshots of printouts from internet-connected printers saying that Felix needs their help. It turned out over 50,000 printers were hacked, printing a message asking people to subscribe to PewDiePie, unsubscribe from T-Series and spread awareness using the hashtag #SavePewDiePie. The middle of the printout contained an ASCII figure of a “brofist,” a gesture from Felix and his logo/channel branding. The screenshots had no specific origin; users from Canada to the UK had received it.

The individual responsible, a hacker who goes by TheHackerGiraffe, claimed they found a repository of 800,000 open printers^[19] on Shodan.io – a search engine to find out devices connected to the internet – and took over 50,000 of them and sent out a command to print his message, claiming that it just took him 30 minutes to learn, code, and take control of the printers, and taking it as a point of awareness for printer security.

“People underestimate how easy a malicious hacker could have used a vulnerability like this to cause major havoc,” TheHackerGiraffe told The Verge. “Hackers could have stolen files, installed malware, caused physical damage to the printers and even use the printer as a foothold into the inner network.”

The hack did not help Felix much, unlike MrBeast's two attempts.

Surrender

Despite MrBeast's attempts to help Felix, Felix made a tweet saying, "It looks like this is it bois.^[20]" attaching a picture of text saying "Dawn of The Final Day -24 Hours Remain-", in which Felix surrenders his #1 most-subscribed title, as T-Series' growth had not stopped and Felix failed to catch up.

MrBeast also made a tweet responding to Felix saying "It was an honor fighting by your side^[21]", in which MrBeast gave up and could no longer help Felix further, possibly to prevent lack of Felix videos from MrBeast, as it can get weaker along the way.

Many other well-known internet personas such as Grandayy, Sr Pelo and Pyrocynical encouraged Felix to never give up, but others, like TheSyndicateProject, Mini Ladd and CouRage, accepted his fate.

This wasn't the end, as creators of all kind joined forces, despite background or history, not only to keep Felix #1 but to save YouTube from corporate invasion.

YouTubers Do Their Part

Right after Felix surrendered, creators on YouTube refused to give up. Markiplier, a long-time friend of Felix, made a one-hour live stream encouraging his subscribers to subscribe to PewDiePie where he "Literally Won't Shut Up Until You Subscribe To PewDiePie^[22]", continuously telling his live viewers to subscribe to Felix, which was successful. Jacksepticeye wrote a poem, Durv challenged himself to watch Felix's "Bitch Lasagna" for 24 hours, Joe Jenkins live streamed him playing "Bitch Lasagna" at a mall^[23] until someone told him to stop, even Logan Paul offered his help (with a catch), after Felix joked about calling for help, saying, "we are that desperate".

T-Series was 14,550 subscribers away before being number 1 most-subscribed, and after the help from other successful YouTubers, Felix was 320,000 subscribers above and gained 544,000 subscribers in one day, a first in Felix's YouTube history. By mid-December, the subscriber gap between Felix and T-Series was over 1.3 million.

Many parodies, covers, remixes, and variations of "Bitch Lasagna" had also come into sight since Party In Backyard released an instrumental, such as a Minecraft parody by grande1899 titled "Witch Savana^[24]", a rock version^[25] by Tsuko G, a metal cover^[26] by pellekofficial, "Bitch Wasagna OwO", an owo cover^[27] by Dottovu, an Otamatone cover^[28] by TheRealSullyG, a Google Translate remix^[29] by heiakim Music, amongst many others. A DJ, known as Ghastly also played Felix's "Bitch Lasagna" at one of his concerts to get his fans to subscribe to Felix.

Fans Do Their Part

Since the battle, many fans have been "doing their part" from around the globe, which started as an inside joke on the PewDiePie Reddit page. Many putting up flyers around town or contributing in other ways, such as a Bunnings Warehouse employee announcing "subscribe to PewDiePie" at an intercom at work, two kids holding up signs walking around the street in the pouring rain, and developer Gurpreet Singh Matharoo making a T-Series battle based video game (demo), which Felix played in this video^[30]. Felix addressed many of these in his video "I am SO proud of this community." amongst many other LWIAY episodes.

Aftermath

Though the PewDiePie vs T-Series trend started to decrease in popularity, anytime T-Series was close to surpassing Felix, YouTubers still did their part and make sure Felix stayed the most-subscribed.

Especially after YouTubers did their part multiple times previously, Felix played and live-streamed popular franchise Fortnite for the first time on February 3, 2019 to stay ahead of T-Series. The stream had over 300,000 live viewers and successfully made him stay the most-subscribed YouTube channel. The Livestream also made it to #1 on Trending for Gaming immediately.

LIII (53), MrBeast bought seats by the end zone so he and his affiliates could wear shirts word by word saying "SUB 2 PEW DIE PIE" and was seen on television by around 110 million viewers. ESPN tweeted^[31] a picture with MrBeast and his ad. The subscriber difference between Felix and T-Series grew from 50,000 subscribers to 277,000 subscribers in one day.

T-Series surpasses PewDiePie

In 2019, the gap started getting closer again, and the record for the lowest gap was broken multiple times in the second half of February. On February 22, T-Series overtook Felix for the first time, because of YouTube's daily subscriber audit, which is used to delete inactive and fake subscribers. The audit deleted 20 thousand subscribers. However, Felix quickly reclaimed the spot as most-subscribed 8 minutes later after Elon Musk finally hosted an episode of 'Meme Review'^[32]. Occasionally, T-Series did surpass Felix thanks to the YouTube audit, which happens every day at 2:30 PM EST. T-Series gained subscribers during the audit, but Felix would go down in subscribers most of the time, giving T-Series a closer gap to passing Felix or passing for a short period of time before Felix held the title again for another 23 hours on average.

During the night time for the US and UK, T-Series started to grow faster than PewDiePie and occasionally surpassed PewDiePie. On March 21, 2019, T-Series was ahead by 34,000 subscribers and held the most-subscribed title for 11 hours.

The Race to 100 Million Subscribers

Since T-Series had surpassed Felix multiple times, Felix changed up the race and decided the finish line would be to reach 100 million subscribers first, instead of keeping the most-subscribed title. Felix claimed after he hoped to reach 100 million subscribers before T-Series, he would accept T-Series taking the spot as most-subscribed. On May 29, 2019, T-Series beat the race to 100 million subscribers against Felix.

Comeback

In the early mornings of March 27, 2019, T-Series surpassed Felix, but this time, stayed as most-subscribed. Within 2 days, T-Series was 80,000 subscribers ahead. Three days later, 100,000 subscribers ahead.

Three days after being officially surpassed by T-Series, Felix uploaded a video "We lost (not happy)"^[33], another episode of LWIAY. Felix says that it was all just a troll and sub counts do not matter. One day later, Felix made a music video "Congratulations"^[34], congratulating T-Series on surpassing Felix in subscribers. However, thanks to this video, he started gaining a massive amount of followers once more. For a whole week, Felix was leading before T-Series passed him again.

Defeat

Ever since Felix's music videos were blocked in India, his growth was slowing down drastically, while T-Series growth was still consistent. On April 14, 2019, T-Series surpassed PewDiePie to be the most-subscribed YouTube channel and currently is still the most-subscribed.

The End

On April 28, 2019, Felix asked his fans to stop the war and the 'Subscribe to PewDiePie' slogan, citing events like the Christchurch shooting, where the shooter yelled the slogan before opening fire on Muslims worshipping in a New Zealand mosque.

“I think it’s time to end the ‘subscribe to PewDiePie’ movement, or meme,” Felix says in the video. He goes on to say that, following the Christchurch shooting, he came to believe, “It’s clear to me the ‘subscribe to PewDiePie’ movement should have ended then.”

Originally, Felix believed the movement and the meme would only last “just a couple of days or maybe a week” and was surprised by the amount of support it received and continued to receive over the last few months that it did. However, as the meme had continued, it led to some horrendous acts. Felix mentioned an example from earlier 2019 when a World War II monument was defaced with graffiti that mentioned the slogan.

Felix states in the video he believes when you have an audience of “over 90 million people, you’re bound to get a few degenerates.” He hoped this graffiti incident would be the end of these more hateful acts inspired by his meme.

“Some of the media,” he said in a video, have made the meme about “race or politics or nationality, and I don’t agree with that at all and I want that to stop... This negative rhetoric is something I don’t agree with at all. To make it perfectly clear, no I’m not racist, no I don’t support any form of racist comments or hate toward anyone.”

“This movement started out of love and support,” he concluded, “so let’s end it with that.”

A children's YouTube Channel called Cocomelon has been one of the fastest-growing YouTube channel as of July 2020, only rivaled by T-Series. It began to increase in popularity in 2018 after the channel's final rebrand from its former name ABCkidTV. Many had speculated that Cocomelon will surpass PewDiePie. to take the spot of the second most-subscribed channel on YouTube by the end of 2020 or 2021.

On June 1, 2020, Felix made his first video on Cocomelon discussing about how they might end up being the biggest channel on YouTube. He mentioned T-Series and wanted to "team-up" with them to battle against Cocomelon. In addition, he said he might make a diss track on Cocomelon similar to the one he made on T-Series. Felix started using parodies of the Cocomelon Intro with the first one being recorded on June 1st, 2020, in a video titled CocoMelon - The New Biggest Channel on ALL YOUTUBE! According to him, he jokingly figured it would help bring in views for his videos. Many of PewDiePie's fans would contribute to this, making their own parody intros. At the time, he was gaining about 18k - 19k subs per day and Cocomelon was gaining 105-120k per day.

In October of 2020, PewDiePie would start to decrease in subscribers, from 17k - 19k to 13k - 15k every day. However, this doesn't mean Cocomelon isn’t approaching, and as of November 2020, the sub gap is around 10,700,000 to 10,300,000. Currently, Cocomelon grows by 60k - 70k every day. In September, that number was 80k - 95k. By March 2021, the sub gap would shrink down to about 3,000,000.

People have said the war would start sometime in January 2021 as PewDiePie would be at 109M - 112M subscribers. On December 12, 2020, Cocomelon reached 100 million subscribers.

Disstrack

On February 14, 2021, a Cocomelon Disstrack named "Coco" (which was teased weeks before release) premiered on Felix's channel which criticised Cocomelon and it's content as well as mentioning other people such as J.K Rowling & 6ix9ine as well as Felix's previous feuds with T-Series. However just four days after premiering, the video was taken down by YouTube because it supposedly violated the Terms of Service. In the video, he allegedly used profanity towards children, which then repeated what he said. It was implied that he committed child harassment and bullying, though he later responded, saying that they weren't actually swearing.

Defeat

On April 24/25, 2021, Cocomelon surpassed PewDiePie in subscribers. But on the 29th, PewDiePie reached 110 million subscribers, only four days after Cocomelon hit their 110 million.

Deleting PewDiePie at 50 million

Felix stated in episode 9 of the BroKen podcast: “I’m just gonna say this: Don’t sign with a network.”…“If you’re a small channel, what’s the benefit of a network?" in regards to Multi-Channel Networks. On December 2, 2016, Felix was suggesting taking down his YouTube channel once he reached 50 million subscribers.^[35] The reason being is because of a YouTube view count Felix had which made him have a "dead fanbase" (meaning a low percentage of his subscribers watch him) and a subscription glitch that YouTube denied,^[36][37] which Felix said was a joke and Felix said he cared about smaller YouTubers, as well.

Allegations of Anti-Semitism

During the whole drama, many news sites had made articles against Felix's actions. However, several YouTubers came out in support of Felix, including Philip DeFranco, Markiplier, and many others. On February 18, 2017, YouTuber jacksepticeye uploaded a video titled "Let's Talk!" (which was later deleted) talking about the whole situation. Some of the words said by Jack in the video were not clear, making some people believe that he "backstabbed" Felix and supported Maker Studios. Since the video was uploaded, Jack has apologized and has talked to Felix privately, as well as making things clear to his fans. Jack and Felix are still friends and record videos together.^[38]

Teacher Receives Threats After Controversial PewDiePie Tweet

On December 14, 2018, a Middle School student from Hamilton International Middle School in Seattle, Washington posting a video on Twitter of his history teacher talking about Felix.^[39]

Gunman Urges People to Subscribe to PewDiePie

After this incident, the New Zealand Destiny Church posted a list of all the users Felix followed on Twitter to send death threats against him as retaliation^[40].

Pledging $50,000 to Anti-Defamation League

Felix announced on September 10, 2019, that he would be donating $50,000 to the Anti-Defamation League as an attempt to make amends and “move on” after the massacre in Christchurch, New Zealand, where the gunman said “Remember lads, Subscribe to PewDiePie” before carrying out his attack in March 2019.^[41][42]

Felix claimed that he didn’t know much about the ADL when he made the pledge. It was only after uploading the video and seeing feedback about the organization that he admitted he “didn’t know a lot of things that surfaced throughout this whole thing about the charity.” The ADL had advocated for Felix to be dropped by Disney and his YouTube deleted in 2017.

“I made the mistake of picking a charity that I was advised to instead of picking a charity that I’m personally passionate about, which is 100 percent my fault.”^[43]

Spotify Leaked

On August 4, 2020, Felix's own Spotify playlist was leaked to the public. The music artists and the songs that were in his Spotify were hyper pop music fans think were a bad taste, and had since been made fun of or questioned Felix for these songs.^[44] One of the artists, Gupi (who was in Felix's Spotify) asked Felix to not listen to his music.^[45]

Felix has come out about this in a video titled "I Got Cancelled Again.."^[46]

Mocking Scarlet May

On July 26, 2022, Felix made a video reacting to cringy TikToks with his dog Maya.^[47] Scarlet May is a famous deaf TikToker who was featured in the video. Felix made fun of how she talked and how long her nails were by puppeteering Maya as Scarlet May. That part of the video got clipped and shared across multiple social media sites and got backlash. People called him an abelist and offended loads of deaf people. Other people like The Act Man were defending him by tweeting a statement saying that cancelation on Twitter is bullshit.^[48]

The Barrels

They are the main enemy according to Felix. Whenever he sees a barrel while exploring a room he shouts at it and/or destroys it. This started because most of the time when bad things happened to him there are barrels right next to him, so they were a sign of bad things ever since. "YOU DAMN BARRELS" is what Felix usually says when finding one.

Stephano

Stephano is a golden statue of a knight driving a sword into the ground. Felix uses him as his main travel companion in Amnesia. Felix claims that Stephano is fearless and he will often be found on a table or in a chest in Amnesia. He shows no signs of rusting and the reason he took Skully's place as Felix's travel companion is genuine because he appears more often.

Martin

Martin is a man with an execution hood on his head and green glowing lines on his stomach who is often found hanging from a ceiling via rope. Martin shows up in many custom stories that Felix plays. In a custom story called the Killings in Altstadt, the screen would go black in an inn bedroom and Martin would appear in front of Felix, causing him to yell out: "Martin! Get off me, Martin! Martin tried to rape me!"

The Bro (AKA Servant Grunt)

The servant grunt is an enemy in Amnesia who attacks the player upon sight and chases them until the player is out of sight. A low growling sound is made when the servant grunt is nearby and a screeching sound (officially called "Terror Meter") is played when it's on the chase. The first major encounter Felix had with "The Bro" was in the prison cell of the original series The Dark Descent. Hearing a growling noise, Felix hid in the next door without hesitation, only to find out that the bro was right behind him. Felix outran the grunt at first, but he looked back and gave the servant grunt a chance to slash the player and knock him out. He also gives them a pedophiliac personality and the Bro often calls him "cheese/sugar tits" and on one occasion, said "its raping time!"

Piggeh

Piggeh is a dead pig in Amnesia that Felix uses as a companion. His birthday is August 29, 2011, when he was first given a name and voice. Piggeh's catchphrase is: "I'm pumped! I'm so pumped!". Piggeh's vocabulary is full of creepy satirical humor; with him typically using a variety of sexual references, ranging from orgies to rape. When he has carried around, he has very fluid movements, causing Felix to often make Piggeh say something like: "You thought I'm a pig, no, I'm a snake." Whenever there is a bed nearby, Piggeh often tries to seduce Felix by saying things like: "You like me over on the bed maybe? Or how about here?". On one episode, he shows Felix how he penetrates while saying, "Hey Pewdie this is how I penetrate. This isn't gay right all I'm doing is showing how I penetrate. You could say that you're not interested I mean I'm right here so just go ahead and say you're interested."

Skully

Skully is a human skull in Amnesia that Felix would carry around as a companion. Skully functioned as an early version of Stephano, and while there are a few episodes including him after Stephano's naming, he has become one of the least used characters in Amnesia, although his tendency to appear in other games more than Piggeh or Stephano, does get him used sometimes.

Jennifer

Jennifer is a rock in Amnesia that Felix calls fat, due to her being large whenever he finds her. Jennifer loves Felix and always says "I love you Pewdie!" but Felix typically responses with, "You're too fat, Jennifer." or "I know, Jennifer, you told me a thousand times already!". Fangirls sympathize with Jennifer because they love Felix as much as she does, but always get rejected in the end. She now doesn't appear much when Felix plays Amnesia except for when a rock is chasing or being thrown at him in the game.

Teleporting Naked Guys

These are the men that are naked and teleport everywhere in Felix's face that makes him jump, panic or scream, hence the name Teleporting Naked Guys. When Felix sees one, he might make a joking sexual comment such as, "Oh goddamn, you're sexy." In the video, "Amnesia: Custom Story- Lost the Lights- Part 10, one of the teleporting naked guys flies down a hallway saying, "HI, BILLY MAYS HERE!" and frightens Felix until he realizes what it said and starts commenting on it before continuing his journey.

Mayo

Mayonnaise is a stool or small table. Felix encountered it in part 1 of "House of Creep 3" where he even mentioned a table mode. Mayo does not show up as much as the other characters. It was revealed in a custom story that Mayo worked for the Barrels, and it shocked Felix.

Mr. Chair

A chair in Amnesia. An old friend of Felix'. He has also guest-starred in many other games, keeping Felix company so he won't be scared. There have been situations in which Mr. Chair is forced to work against Felix, but he has always been a faithful companion.

Penny

A chair in Amnesia.

Sven

A boat from an Amnesia custom story. It also happens to share the name of PewDiePie's Minecraft dog, several years later. It's not a coincidence that Sven the dog is famous for getting stuck in boats.

Joergen (AKA Joergen #1)

Felix’s first horse in Minecraft. Joergan sadly died when exiting the Nether portal due to a Minecraft glitch that suffocated the horse into the wall behind the portal. Joergen's grave is located near Felix's house, which Felix brings melons to.

Water Sheep

The dark gray sheep, who escaped his farm and got stuck in the river current, was disliked and was always trash-talked for fun by Felix. Felix later named him "jeb_" using the bros' advice and he became rainbow-colored. He was accidentally killed when Felix was trying to torture him. Felix tried to replace him with his relatives, but accidentally killed all of them.

In honor of Water Sheep, Felix built a church, a giant meatball, an entrance to mines and a tower of Water Sheep, which he later destroyed. Felix still manages to communicate with Water Sheep by sacrificing random animals in a form of ritual, like Water Sheep was a god. He also remembered Water Sheep by naming his trident 'Power of Watersheep', using Water Sheep's godly power to defeat the Ender Dragon.

Joergen the Second (AKA Joergen #2)

Joergen #1's brother, which replaced him as Felix's horse and best friend. He also likes to go on adventures with him and unlike Joergen #1, he doesn't run away so often. He was lost in episode 14 and a few episodes later, he died while Felix made him go into the tunnel with a minecart.

The Boat Cows

Two cows from the farm, who escaped it with others, when Felix started to murder all of his cows, except the children. These two got in Felix' boat and he decided to leave them alive. However, he did kill one of them accidentally. Another Boat Cow was killed by a skeleton, so Felix replaced him.

Feigee

The third Feige the llama Guys are Two llamas, stolen from a killed vendor in the village. Felix kept the llamas near Joergen #2, but killed them after they tried to get into Boat Cow's boat.

Sven

Felix's best friend, a dog, currently alive, who always sleeps near his bed. Felix protects Sven and has said, "If Sven dies, this playthrough is over!". Sven is famous for surviving multiple times after near-death cause, once Felix was even sure, that the dog is dead.

Dinnerbone

Dinnerbone is a skeleton horse that appeared overnight in Felix's stable along with his brother, Bone Joergen. Many believe that Dinnerbone or Bone Joergen is actually Joergen #1, but Felix denied this. Dinnerbone is upside down and can breathe underwater. While exploring the ocean monument, he got lost. He was found many episodes later roaming the ocean bottom. While he was missing, his brother, Bone Joergen, got killed by a creeper.

PeePee PooPoo

After the death of Joergen #2, Felix had to find another animal he could ride, so he found a pig named PeePee PooPoo. PeePee PooPoo was the leader of a pig army that Felix was going to use to fight the Wither. Sadly, PeePee PooPoo was killed by Felix while he was trying to heal him, but soon appeared again, due to him claiming that the rules of Minecraft stating that PeePee PooPoo has "two lives".

The Council of Water Sheep

After Felix had built The Church of Water Sheep, he let all of his sheep into the wilderness. A few sheep got stuck in the water going up the stream, because of the magma blocks and after some sheep escaped the current, two yellow and one blue sheep in the middle stayed up there. Felix commonly came to ask those sheep for some guidance and advice and they often ominously looked down at him and grant his wishes. Ominous music always plays in the background when they look at him. They all have since killed by Felix, being replaced by The Council of Beetroot. The Council of Water Sheep are back ever since Felix found the Blue Sheep Councillor claiming that there was a way to bring back the Council of Water Sheep. As of now the Council of Water Sheep have died ever since Felix destroyed the Church of Water Sheep

The Council of Beetroot

After Felix overthrew The Council of Water Sheep, Felix replaced them with The Council of Beetroot, due to him being a beet farmer.

Beint

Beint is a fox who Sub2pewdiepie12 finds while searching for Bengt.

Rolf

Rolf was a small slime block that Felix spared in the mines. As Felix was taking him home, he got killed after he was blown up by a creeper.

PeePee PooPoo's Army

Felix mustered up an army of pigs to fight the wither due to a Reddit post suggesting he should strike the pigs with lightning to turn them into zombie pigmen, so they would attack the wither. But instead of attacking the Wither, they healed it, so Felix ended up chasing the Wither away from them, but the Wither still fired wither skulls and killed a lot of pigs. After fighting it, to honor all the pigmen that has died, Felix filled the entire pig yard with torches (each represent a pigman).

Bernie

Pewdiepie's donkey, who he found roaming around in the grasslands, Bernie became close to Felix, but shortly after, ultimately died in a raid after being shot by a pillager.

To remember him, Felix named the arrow he used to defeat the Ender Dragon 'Ikea Bird Arrow'.

Bengt

Felix's fox, that Felix stole from his mother alongside his brother, Ake currently dead.

Bengt was name tagged, but in later episodes the name tag disappeared, suggesting that possibly off screen Bengt died and was replaced by an unnamed Fox. Bengt was killed after Felix accidentally punched him when he was trying to feed Bengt in Minecraft VR, causing Sven to attack and kill Bengt, which resulted in Felix screaming at Sven "BAD DOG!!"

Ake

Felix's second fox, who he found alongside Bengt. He got killed by a wolf while Felix is on his way to bring the two foxes bact to his home.

Sven’s BF

Sven’s partner and Felix's second wolf that he tamed in the taiga. Together with Sven, they bore a wolf baby. after a few episodes Sven's BF died after he fell from the sky while standing on one of Felix's redstone contraptions causing him to move far away starting season 3. He has since been revived as of Felix's Minecraft VR video.

Mushroom Cow Thing

Felix's first mooshroom, who died after he was accidentally hit once by Felix, at the point he continued to take damage until he died, on contrary to popular belief Sven did not attack MCT, Mushroom Cow Thing was just killed by whatever enchantment Pewds had on his bow.

DJ Cow

Felix's second mooshroom, who was killed along with Ikea Bird #2 after being struck by lightning.

Bebe

Bebe is the baby that Felix had two villagers make for him. Sadly, Bebe died from a zombie seconds after he was born, but his legend continues as the name Felix gives all the babies the villagers make for him.

Feige

Feige was a baby chicken that Jack Black owned while playing Minecraft with Felix, Feige died after she was blown up upon Felix's plan to blow Jack with TNT; and as soon as Jablinski and Feige both exploded, all PewDiePie said was "Bye Feige" and then after Jack and Feige are blown up he exclaims "I can kill you as many times as I want Jablinski". Feige was returned on Felix's standalone series but her name is now spelt Feigi and it is revealed that she works for Water Sheep.

PeePee TwoPoo

After he was revived he and Felix set out to a stronghold when they found an end portal, PeePee TwoPoo knocked Pewds in and after Felix died he went back to the stronghold and PeePee TwoPoo fell in the portal, while trying to ride PeePee TwoPoo of the obsidian platform he and PeePee TwoPoo fell of the edge and began falling out of the world, PewDiePie unsuccessfully ender-pearled it out of the void and he and PeePee TwoPoo both died. PeePee TwoPoo is yet to be revived again.

Feigi

Feigi was revived after Pewds flew away when he accidentally killed Sven's BF and in the end, tried to kill Felix after he gave Feigi a diamond.

This Ingvar is a creeper stuck in Felix's fricking machine.

Feigee

The third Feige which appeared at the top of Ikea Tower when Felix attempted to plant 20 Million Trees in Minecraft while in Survival after a charged creeper blew up a chunk of Felix's land. It was most likely one of creepers that escaped Felix's Fricking Machine who was then struck by lightning.

He brings the villager back and puts it in a prison inside the Sheep Head, but it is a fisherman. He gives it a lectern and waits for it to change professions, and captures some zombies in an adjacent cell which burn up. After Librarian changes professions, PewDiePie trades with it getting it up to Journeyman but says it only has “garbage” trades (and infinity).
