    you have to have a very high IQ to understand PewDiePie. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical Swedish most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Pewd’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization- his personal philosophy draws heavily from the German literature of the year 1925, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about YouTube. As a consequence, people who dislike PewDiePie truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humor in Pewd's existential catchphrase "Skattar Du Förlorar Du", which itself is a cryptic reference to Felix Kjellberg’s epic Svart Man På Bron. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Brad’s genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools. how I pity them.

    And yes, by the way, I DO have a Bitch Lasagna tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the 9 year olds’ eyes only- and even then, they have to demonstrate that they've done their part beforehand.
