Line #39 NightmareFuel/PewDiePie


1	You'd think someone like WebVideo/PewDiePie wouldn't give people [[NightmareFuel nightmares]]. To quote the man himself, "That's where you're wrong, '''[[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch BITCH!]]'''"
2	----
3	[[foldercontrol]]
4
5	[[folder:Thumbnails]]
6	* His Crooked Man series thumbnails. The first thumbnail has Pewds menacingly staring at the viewer. Not too scary, right? But then in the thumbnails for the videos to come, his skin gradually turns paler and [[BodyHorror his neck gets more and more elongated]] [[BlackEyesOfEvil as his eyes turn to black]] and his head topples over. It's just as horrific as it sounds. Funny enough, this actually {{Justified\|Trope}}, as the Crooked Man is able to tilt his head to unnatural extents.
7	* The thumbnails for his two VideoGame/DontStarve Screecher videos are pretty horrific. "IT WILL MAKE YOU SCREECH" has [[http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/wxCRkFap0v0/mqdefault.jpg whatever the fuck that is]], and "THEM JUMPSCARES" has [[http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/oZuqsbYqZ5s/mqdefault.jpg that.]] [[FridgeLogic The fact that you have no clue what they are]] [[FridgeHorror makes it all the more nightmarish.]]
8	* His "Insanity" video thumbnail shows him with wide eyes and a SlasherSmile while holding a gun to his head. [[FridgeHorror You could interpret this as showing that Pewds has been going insane from all those horror games.]]
9	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6q41nVwJoo Pizza Delivery]][[http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/e6q41nVwJoo/maxresdefault.jpg 's thumbnail]] video shows Pewds as a delivery boy, holding a pizza and smiling, oblivious to the EldritchAbomination standing right behind him.
10	* His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6zXWyTypWg DON'T EVER LOOK AT HER]] video shows a scared Pewds with what looks like [[Film/TheRing Samara]] behind him.
11	* All of his ''Night of the Sacrifice (Ikenie No Yoru)'' video thumbnails count as this.
12	** Parts 1-3 all have this strange girl with a GhostlyGape.
13	** [[http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/kRmYaqZmhcE/mqdefault.jpg Part 4 has Pewds with the gape.]]
14	** [[http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/pIYLGzGdTjY/mqdefault.jpg Part 5 has Pewds and Marzia with the gape..]]
15	* The thumbnail for his "Eyes" video shows him screaming with [[EyeScream red bleeding eyes]] as a ghost stands behind him in the darkness.
16	* The thumbnail for his Crashtastic video is terrifying and [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext has absolutely nothing to do with the video]]. What do you think this thumbnail shows? If you guessed BodyHorror, you are right. [[RunningGag Again.]] [[http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/39opU_8hTfw/mqdefault.jpg See for yourself]], [[SchmuckBait if you dare.]]
17	* The thumbnail for his 2nd [[VideoGame/TheImpossibleQuiz Impossible Quiz]] video is super creepy, depicting a [[SlasherSmile smiling]] man giving a thumbs up ''while hanging.'' [[http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/qE5Y9xDvcEI/mqdefault.jpg Yeah.]]
18	* The thumbnail for "HOW TO SMILE!" [[SlasherSmile seems a bit...]][[http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/9B6sP8I_qAA/maxresdefault.jpg off.]]
19	** Slight NightmareRetardant when you look closer at the hands forcing the smile. How sweet of Marzia (judging by what looks to be a french manicure) to help with the thumbnail!
20	* [[http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/qLsW0ZRgiqQ/maxresdefault.jpg This is why you should never let Pewds be a lumberjack.]]
21	* The thumbnail for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YJ9WOR6AQo&list=UU-lHJZR3Gqxm24_Vd_AJ5Yw NEVER HAVE I EVER...]] is the common stock photo of two women gossiping...[[BodyHorror altered to have multiple eyeballs or mouths covering their whole faces.]] ''Very'' inducing of [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner the jibblies]] if you have trypophobia or just BodyHorror fears in general. He does this again with the thumbnail for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2LiLjfTBe8 HAIL TO OUR NEW LORD AND SAVIOR]] with eyeballs all over Kim Jong-Un's face.

24	[[folder:Let's Play]]
25	* He has played his fair share of horror games, so it makes sense that {{jump scare}}s are abound, so the viewer(s) will often get as scared (if not ''more'' scared) than Felix.
26	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48ufRGIUPZo Have you ever wanted to see the face of a pug]] [[BodyHorror on the body of a little girl?]]
27	* His VideoGame/{{Spore}} videos, where Felix ramps up the BodyHorror for his creations.
28	* His VideoGame/SurgeonSimulator2013 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb5ksJhmLjU eye transplant video]]. Long story short, [[EyeScream God bless Bob's eyes.]] You could see how utterly disturbed Felix was as he was playing. [[TheToothHurts The next one he does is the teeth transplant.]]
29	* In one particular ''Amnesia'' episode, a certain German creator of custom stories for Felix has the statues greet him. '''[[JumpScare "HALLO FREUNDE!"]]'''
30	* The Minecraft Let’s Play Series has some pretty clear-cut examples of {{AndIMustScream}}.
31	** Not only was Water Sheep trapped in an enclosed pit where water flows infinitely into a wall, but Pewds also enclosed him in a steel cage where he was forced to listen to a loud bell ringing right next to him, and he later forced three pistons in three directions on him, [[spoiler: which ended up killing him.]]
32	** Bone-Joergen was left alone at the bottom of the ocean with no signs of Pewds returning to rescue him. Due to his nature as an undead horse, he cannot die. He also cannot despawn due to the name tag placed on him. Though some fans have argued that he is safer that way rather than being brought back with Pewds.

37	* Felix himself can stray into this territory sometimes. Particularly when he gets very frustrated with games like ''Unfair Mario'' or ''VideoGame/TheImpossibleQuiz'', which paves way to some SanitySlippage, whether [[RuleOfFunny for laughs]] or [[FridgeHorror for real]].
38	* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yMmqckmV5E one of his Pewds Does Everything videos]], he reads a tweet from someone that wants him to smile at them.
39	-->'''Pewds''': '''''[[http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/9yMmqckmV5E/maxresdefault.jpg IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?]]'''''
40	* Equal parts NightmareFuel and TearJerker; in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSuQ5cV4nMc this]] ''Pewds Does Everything'' video, Felix admits that the last time he tried doing a ''PDE'' video culminated in him having a panic attack from all the stuff he was doing at once coupled with not eating anything. He distanced himself from the series after that for obvious reasons.
41	* One time he did a tape challenge in which he had to apply a strip of tape to his face for every death he got in a rage game. Te result leaves his face covered in tape. Its worse than it sounds.
42	* [[http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/332/d/b/it__s_just_you__me_and_the_loading_screen____by_yourexsistence-d5mhggi.png His "loading screen" face]] is likely to at least creep you out.
43	* His Twitter cover photo can be pretty unsettling. It shows Pewds and Puga with swapped eyes, noses, and mouths. Buzzfeed even included it as part of its [[http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/most-disturbing-face-swaps-of-2012 "30 scariest face swaps of 2012"]] list (although it only placed at #20).
44	* His Fabulizer videos are pretty disturbing:
45	** His Fabulizing of Miley Cyrus was nothing short of frightening. [[LosingYourHead He put her head on a turkey]], [[EyeScream gouged out her eyes]], [[TearsOfBlood made her cry tears of blood]], [[BodyHorror had her holding someone's face]], and to top it off he put her inside [[{{UsefulNotes/Satanism}} a Satanic pentagram]] and [[ManOnFire lit her on fire]].
46	** Marzia's Fabulization. He decides to put a nipple on her head. He later chooses to Photoshop another nipple in her mouth, but decides to give her [[BodyHorror a nipple for a nose]]. When Marzia says she wants to see it via Facebook, he tells her it's [[NotSafeForWork not Facebook friendly]]. She still thought it was fabulous nonetheless.
47	** His Fabulization of Tom Cruise in the 3rd installment. At the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nLO3Ef91b4 that episode]], after Pewds did his brofist, a RecordNeedleScratch and a short drum loop is heard and it cuts to the fabulized Tom while creepy distorted noises play in the background.
48	** His Fabulization of Kanye West, where the top half of his head is just the bottom half inverted, and [[{{Squick}} there are two long tongues coming from each mouth to touch]]. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And he's crying.]]
49	--->'''Felix''': [[LampshadeHanging Wow,]] [[SelfDeprecation what the fuck is wrong with me?]] (laughs) [[LampshadeHanging This should just be called Nightmare Generator.]]
50	** Megan Fox's fabulization is either this or BloodyHilarious. If you look hard enough at her face, you can very vaguely see a skull...
51	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X65bB0uUexU The Photobooth tag video]] delves into the UncannyValley with its means of nightmare fuel. [[BodyHorror Seeing the faces of Marzia and Pewds bend and contort and shrink and enlarge is funny but also kind of creepy]]...
52	* The sheer idea of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdsQTXG3Ilg&list=UU-lHJZR3Gqxm24_Vd_AJ5Yw the Catacombs Challenge]] alone. [[NothingIsScarier You're alone, with not much light, navigating through the dark and eerie Paris catacombs (yes, the ACTUAL catacombs), with a horrific sense of paranoia that someone will pop out in front of you or be lurking behind you.]]
53	** Having to reach into a container with bugs inside to advance.
54	** There are multiple instances where you can see someone following Felix without him noticing, and you just feel as if they are going to scare him, but they don't...
55	* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_hHKlEZ9Go this video]], one of things Felix discusses is the at-the-time extremely-popular ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. He states that the challenge is something of a simulation of what it feels to have ALS, and he then proceeds to go into a description of the disease's effects that makes it sound just as horrific as it probably is.
56	-->"Just imagine yourself, your fingers stop working, you lose the ability to speak, your arms stop working, you can't walk, you can't do anything yourself, and your mind is still clear, but [[AndIMustScream you're trapped in this body that you can't move.]] It's just awful. And...after that, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath you die.]]"
57	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVKvaBeXs9w 10 Things You Should Never Google]]. It sounds disturbing enough, but the fact that Felix added a warning of the gross content in the video in the title is more than enough. We then see tons of NauseaFuel images of intestinal diseases, skin diseases, and more while Pewds is barely able to refrain from vomiting and gets progressively worse over the course of the video, especially when he sees [[ShockSite 2 Girls 1 Cup]] and almost vomits.
58	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdMCyi_Avzc Pewds attempts (to no success) to]] [[FaceYourFears face his Trypophobia]] (for those who don't know, it's a fear and/or revulsion of clusters of small holes, bumps, etc.) by looking at some damn crazy shit, even for those who don't have the phobia. He starts off with pretty damn gross (he starts off watching a documentary clip of a Surinam Toad, known for storing its young in its hole-riddled back), to seriously damn freaky ([[UncannyValley a gif of an edited human face with hundreds holes moving across it]]). He then moves on to an absolutely horrifying video that [[IWarnedYou he recommends you bail before you're scarred forever]]. For the understandably squeamish: [[spoiler: It's a video of a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordylobia_anthropophaga mangoworm]] removal operation from an afflicted dog, in Africa. Mangoworms are the larval stage of the parasitic Mango Fly, native to Africa, which embeds its eggs in soil or feces, and [[ParanoiaFuel damp clothing and bed linens]]; [[BodyHorror after which the maggots lie in wait for something with exposed skin so that it can then burrow itself into its victim. Without tools, the only way to have the larvae removed is to apply a massage to squeeze the maggots out, leaving open weeping sores.]]]] It's horrible enough [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl for Pewds to scream]], and cause him to [[PlayedForLaughs (jokingly)]] [[DrivenToSuicide want to jump off the balcony when he sees it again during editing.]] [[SarcasmMode Sweet dreams.]]
