Berlin Edmond Jr., known online as Berleezy, is a popular YouTuber and Twitch streamer.
Berleezy's channel began in 2012 as a channel primarily hosting comedy skits filmed with friends and family, as well as vlogs documenting his life as a full time student at California State University, Fullerton. In 2013, he uploaded a video called Hey Arnold Exposed, in which he comedically pointed out absurdities and inconsistencies in the opening sequence of Hey Arnold!. He followed this up by giving The Fairly OddParents! the "Exposed" treatment, and when clips from both videos went viral, Berleezy's channel exploded in popularity, spawning the ''Exposed" series.note
The Exposed series became the primary content on the channel, with Berleezy's reactions becoming increasingly hammy and over-the-top. In late 2016, Berleezy expressed disillusionment with the direction of his channel, feeling that he was being pigeon-holed as "roasting cartoons" and getting too far removed from his original content. The channel's content became more diverse as the vlogs and sketches returned and the "Exposed" series continued, and it continued to grow in popularity, reaching 1 Million subcribers in 2017.
In 2016, Berleezy announced that he would be starting a gaming channel branded as iBerleezy. As the popularity of his gaming content began to eclipse his main channel and his passion increasingly tilted towards gaming, both channels were rebranded, with the gaming channel becoming the main "Berleezy" channel. Berleezy also began to stream on Twitch, and uploaded highlights to a third channel called eezyTV.
Berleezy graduated from CSUF in 2016, receiving a degree in English and becoming the first person in his family to be a college graduate.

Tropes in his videos include:
- Big "NO!": The ending of his Until Dawn, upon seeing that he just killed almost every character.
- Epic Fail: In his first Until Dawn playthrough, despite putting great effort and attention into making sure everyone survives, he doesn't understand that the player has to evacuate everyone from the cabin before blowing it up (rather than it being scripted) and ends up killing the majority of the cast at the very end.
- Male Gaze: While playing Mortal Kombat 11, a character shoots at Raiden offscreen and this character is revealed via a camera pan going upwards from their legs. Berlin thinks "she kinda bad tho" and speculates it's Frost, then is Instantly Proven Wrong when it turns out to be Jax, a guy.
- Oh, Crap!: Has this reaction to seeing The Grim Reaper out fishing while playing The Sims.
