Either you die a hero, or you live long enough to become the villain. TNT chose the former, especially when the panny hit, the burnout finally got to him and TH-cam likely sank to the bottom of his priorities.
True dat. Minecraft is so old now, that people are finding it fun faking allegations against creators. And if these creators are guilty (let’s be honest majority of them are, atleast I think so), they should be punished! I am SO GLAD that I left the community a long time ago 😂
Man.. I remember that one time I made a small drawing for pink sheep on Instagram. I was so excited to post it, so tagged his official Instagram account on my post to see his reaction. I didn't really expect him to reply, but the surprise that still confuses me even til this day is the fact that he actually did reply.. he thanked me for the drawing and even called me a prankster gangster... Best day of my whole life.. I miss pink sheep tho, he was the best :((.
I was an ExplodingTNT "actor" several years ago. It was a private server you needed to buy access to for like $80. My older sister bought it for me as a birthday present one time I think. Because I was so young, I don't remember much aside from meeting cool people I haven't spoken to in ages and being in one video where he forgot to credit me (I believe he apologized in the credits of said video for forgetting my name, that was pretty funny lol). I'm almost 19 and the memories come back to me occasionally, I'm super glad I spent time in that community when I did. Hope Sam and everyone who took part in his videos are well.
growing up I never knew pink sheep and tnt were channels ran by the same guy and I thought it was so cool that the pink sheep was in so many tnt videos, I was today years old when I found out tnt and pink sheep were the same guy
I knew it was a theory, but never knew for sure. Pink, Purple, Dolphin, TNT, Failboat. They had so much crossover that I wasn't sure who actually was who (as in who played multiple people)
Explodingtnt was extremely creative, can clearly see difference in the content directed at kids in only about a decade. I'm happy he didn't change, didn't have a fall from grace. Prankster gangsters for life
Yes I'm gen alpha but still love pinksheep and exploding tnt they made my Childhood unlike other gen alphas who grew up with elsagate and shit like that not all gen alphas are the same some of us are normal
Butterfly effect.. ExplodingTNT making a server, Simon being a fan and making hypixel, to great youtubers like Technoblade and even a whole unique gamestudio (Hytale)
Life probably hit him more then he could ever expect. I think that he moved on with his life. It won’t be long before he announces that he will quit youtube because he hasn’t uploaded over a year. He had a good run, but he has better things on his mind. Glad that he was a part of my childhood on youtube and the impact he had on the Minecraft community. Definitely a TH-cam Legend that won’t be forgotten that quickly.
I'm in the discord server. One of the admins told me that he's burnt out and he doesn't know what he wants to do anymore, so you're probably right. McOrigins is probably gonna be coming back though. Not run by TNT but by some of his admins iirc.
@@eepyapyr yep burn out is a death sentence, its time for him to move on, and if the burn out is permanent, he needs to find something that he enjoys instead of youtube.
the fact he actively puts effort into NOT milking his popular videos and avoided making repetitive content, puts things to prespective when you see how most yt content creators are nowadays.
I used to watch his videos in 2014- 2015, back then I couldn't speak english that well so I had to watch his videos with spanish subtitles on, but I still tried to read the texts in english and sometimes translationg words from english to spanish. thanks to ExplodingTNT I was able to improve my english to like a A2 level or so (I didn't had english class in my school back then) I will forever be grateful for Exploding TNT, because he taught me some english and kept me entertained in the afternoons of the good old 2014-2015 :)
I remember in 4th grade, a kid in my class convinced me he was explodingTNT and would like tell everyone he was him. I believed him for like 3 years lol
Aww, I remember playing on his server all the time. I ‘acted’ in a few of his machinimas and it felt so cool being apart of his community. I think I was in the Nether version of the “spot a noob” series lol. This video unlocked some core memories. Thanks for sharing.
I remember watching TNT back in 2014, and seeing Failboat in his vids. Years later, i now watch Failboat and only just a while ago realized i have been watching him for longer than i thought
I think I first saw him in TNT videos and was also watching his channel around that time, and now I see him in DougDoug stuff which is crazy I’ll go check when his Miitopia finale stream was because I definitely remember that, so that’s probably a good time fram of when I was watching him

Sameeee, he was like the bridge towards me learning English outside of school back in the day 💀🤚. But I see how I landed in his direction I watched monster highschool Minecraft series and like almost every top main German Minecraft lets player
You know, I have to commend him. The fact that he was able to keep his content mostly consistent for nearly a decade without falling off too much is a feat on its own. It’s only a shame that I never got too into his content, though, only ever watching a few of his videos.
I worked for his Minecraft server, MCO, for about 5 years. I was close with his manager and all of the actors behind his videos. I watched his server and channel die out slowly, and eventually, completely. It's really sad looking backward on TNT's decline, knowing how passionate he was about it before.

This is the same deal for me, but I moved onto bigger sandboxes like space engineers and now I'm interested in engineering as a whole. What a strange thing.
I dont watch TNT anymore, but he introduced me to one of my favorite content creators, failboat. He doesnt do minecraft that much, but still uploads regularly!
@@CryptidBarArts yah, its the same failboat who now pretty much appears everywhere, its an absolute honor to be part of the percentage who knew him during TNT's time
I really like how Daniel branched out a LOT. like for a while he was a SPLATOON YTer (hey there danana is still a masterpiece thank you octoboy for putting it in the world), there was the minecraft phase back in the day and now he just does whatever he wants
I had to double take becuase i know failboat! He's friends with dougdoug a streamer i watched i didn't know he knew tnt! It was amazing how in some ways tnt never left us because those that knew him are still creating content
Purple Shep's creator is still around, by the way, his channel is "Failboat" (yes that channel was run by a different person, unlike Pink Sheep and TNT)
No joke Exploding TNT is how I learned English when I was younger. I remember watching his videos and translating them on my phone when I found a word I didn't understand.
When I was younger, I would be left alone a lot during the day. This made me feel afraid and anxious, since there was no one else at home. Watching ExplodingTNT helped me distract myself and made me feel a lot safer. I think he, Pink Sheep, and another minecraft skit youtuber (can't remember, I think they were two people) really helped me during those years.
These videos we’re literally huge parts of my childhood I remembered making pink sheep statue in Minecraft. I even bought the toy and the plushie to, truly a wonderful time.
He's one of the greatest Minecraft TH-camrs ever to live. He never commercialized, never became a content farm, never hurt anyone and was damn good at everything he did.
I was so confsed, i was watching skipthetutorial and was like "Wait! is that-? OMG WAIT" And after while looked up i was so surprised! XD Especially sincei grew up on translation of tnt and only last few years swiched to english it was surprise because i recognized that skin and name after while xd Also now i want have kirby merch - he's such a cute pink puffball D:
I remember watching Explodingtnt while hospitalized for dengue, on 2019 I was hospitalized for dengue during the dengue breakout, I already knew Explodingtnt before hand but Explodingtnt entertained me across my 2 weeks of hospitalization. It even distracted me when my parents were worrying about me because my blood platelet was dropping ecveryday. I salute Explodingtnt for making me not bored during my entire hospitalization.
I already forgot about this guy until I saw the thumbnail of this video in my yt recommendation. Thank you for restoring one of my greatest childhood memories
ExplodingTNT was HUGE for me back when I was a kid, I avidly watched the channel in 2014-16, and actually ended up becoming a bigger fan of the Pink Sheep and Purple Shep channels in middle school when they were active, I even ended up making a whole comic book series about Purple Shep, it was crazy how much of a chokehold all the channels had me in when I was like 11
This guy is a huge part of my childhood. Pure nostalgia. His own style of videos was so unique back in the day. Simple, funny, and silly. I'll always love pink sheep and purple shep. When I used to play on his minecraft server as a kid, he joined the lobby, and people formed a crowd around him. Being in the same server, and right up close in-game with your favourite MC content creator felt like a fever dream. Felt so surreal. I remember how I felt after that. I'll always remember his videos and the impact he had on me growing up. Thank you, ExplodingTNT ❤
7:57 I can relate to the appendix part. I used to watch Unspeakablegaming back in the day and one of his videos was “who’s your daddy birthday party” with ryguyrocky. The video made me laugh even though I was in pain and I remember that day to this day. I miss the old unspeakable.
Man, i remembered watching his videos after school and it made me feel great and wanted to go school instead feeling hopeless and depressed.😅 now im already working and dont have much time, since im quite busy with work and other stuff. Im really happy knowing that he retired without any issues. Since some of my favourites youtuber done something and retired with hates and it really broke me knowing what happened.
With the amount and quality of his uploads of machinimas and at 2019-2021 years being the reign of the big C virus I can see how and why he would stop, no complaints whatsoever, a man who provided us consistent years of fun and entertainment needs to retire someday, i hope Explodingtnt lives a healthy and long life
I watched these machinimas as a non speaking English 6-7yo child in russian dub. I think i have catched on some english because the captions on top of the heads stayed. I loved machinimas and believe that it is one of the biggest mistakes that English TH-cam didn't quite experiment with 3rd person machina shows and series as much as russian-speaking yt did and still does. Machinimas are an amazing way of getting people's greatest minds together, from in-game builders, skin creators, operators and modders to outside-game writers, 3d modellers, animators, editors, vocie actors. Amazing way of experimenting with content and possibilities, even starting a career. I don't watch any of the russian yt anymore, not interested, EXCEPT for Minecraft series. They are so high in quality, however are mostly horror/apocalypse themed. Everything ohtside these themes is a treature for me.
I’m by glad that failboat is still making content and it’s really good! I’m glad to see someone from explodingtnt is still doing good and was able his content different from explodingTNT and Minecraft.
I somehow nearly forgot about this channel... ExplodingTnT was one of the first TH-cam channels I ever watched. I'm still subscribed to this day but the lack of videos and I forgot about... I do still regularly watch failboat though, so that's nice.
Man this guy was a part of my childhood for some time, glad i grew up watching him for a while, the guy had very fun videos and was ahead of it's time. Unfortunately for him, that time has caught up and overtaken him, however he deserves a well-earnt rest. Thank you TNT.
I was a loyal fan of TNT since waay back in 2013. I remember going onto TH-cam on my parents’ computer every few days and searching for his videos because I didn’t have an account to subscribe with. He was a formative part of so many of our childhoods and I hope that he’s healthy and happy wherever he is now.
I watched this man on the school bus everyday during my freshman year of high school. Going to school made me feel so depressed but he made me feel joy in those early mornings and helped me take on each day. Really was an integral part of my life growing up.
I made a comic of smg4 and exploding tnt and Bob and purple shep rapped together and annoyed the others because they're both voiced by willfromafar voice system
To be honest the retierment of Exploding TNT hurt a lot more than the retierment of MatPat even thought he didn't do a goodbye video he was the main person that made my childhood and he and DanTDM were the main people I grew up with. So seeing him gone was the worst loss of every other TH-camr
When I was younger, I would watch his content a lot. I genuinely liked it, though I eventually lost track of his channel after about a year. To see that he's stopped uploading by now really upsets me. I'll miss him.
Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed! Also, join the Discord: discord.gg/yeRJQyS4CE

@@for4269Nowadays, Failboat mainly does Nintendo related videos like Kirby and Splatoon

"ExplodingTNT? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time..."
I felt like a damn war veteran watching this lmao
No joke Exploding TNT is how I learned English when I was younger. I remember watching his videos and translating them on my phone when I found a word I didn't understand.
When I was younger, I would be left alone a lot during the day. This made me feel afraid and anxious, since there was no one else at home. Watching ExplodingTNT helped me distract myself and made me feel a lot safer. I think he, Pink Sheep, and another minecraft skit youtuber (can't remember, I think they were two people) really helped me during those years.

failboat
I remember my cousin showing me the channel and binging it with him, the simpler days
He really was the best comfort channel I could turn to during the pandemic, but this really makes me miss his content.
its still a pandemic, all the rich people just decided lockdown was too bad for business 💀
Thank you for unlocking these memories
These videos we’re literally huge parts of my childhood I remembered making pink sheep statue in Minecraft. I even bought the toy and the plushie to, truly a wonderful time.
you are so underrated this video deserves to blowup!!! loved this video, tnt was truly an inspiration to me

@@GiovanniKody100 trippin
haha "blowup"
explodingtnt
hahahahah
i miss him so much
These videos were definitely a major part of my childhood, it’s still wild to me that this is basically where failboat got his start
He's one of the greatest Minecraft TH-camrs ever to live. He never commercialized, never became a content farm, never hurt anyone and was damn good at everything he did.
I never bothered checking on his channel all these years later and it's nice to know he just retired instead of falling into some kind of scandal
At least Failboat is still around
I was looking for this comment, the moment he said failboat I was like “wait failboat????”
@@tsukiyo2161fr like i didn’t know failboat was an OG 😭😭😭
Dude I checked on Failboat one day because I remembered him being in many of ExplodingTNT's videos, and I stayed because I love his Kirby content lmao
I was so confsed, i was watching skipthetutorial and was like "Wait! is that-? OMG WAIT" And after while looked up i was so surprised! XD
Especially sincei grew up on translation of tnt and only last few years swiched to english it was surprise because i recognized that skin and name after while xd
Also now i want have kirby merch - he's such a cute pink puffball D:
Uncle Failboot is a true OG for sticking around so long
Nostalgia hit me hard😢 I wish explodingtnt could come back and the old minecraft content
This is a great vid really made me feel old lol well edited and made. Hope you get more views soon u deserve it!
I remember watching Explodingtnt while hospitalized for dengue, on 2019 I was hospitalized for dengue during the dengue breakout, I already knew Explodingtnt before hand but Explodingtnt entertained me across my 2 weeks of hospitalization. It even distracted me when my parents were worrying about me because my blood platelet was dropping ecveryday. I salute Explodingtnt for making me not bored during my entire hospitalization.
I already forgot about this guy until I saw the thumbnail of this video in my yt recommendation. Thank you for restoring one of my greatest childhood memories
ExplodingTNT was HUGE for me back when I was a kid, I avidly watched the channel in 2014-16, and actually ended up becoming a bigger fan of the Pink Sheep and Purple Shep channels in middle school when they were active, I even ended up making a whole comic book series about Purple Shep, it was crazy how much of a chokehold all the channels had me in when I was like 11
All I remember about pink sheep and purple sheep was their mustaches
All I remember of pink sheep is his build reviews
This guy is a huge part of my childhood. Pure nostalgia. His own style of videos was so unique back in the day. Simple, funny, and silly. I'll always love pink sheep and purple shep. When I used to play on his minecraft server as a kid, he joined the lobby, and people formed a crowd around him. Being in the same server, and right up close in-game with your favourite MC content creator felt like a fever dream. Felt so surreal. I remember how I felt after that. I'll always remember his videos and the impact he had on me growing up. Thank you, ExplodingTNT ❤
Pink sheep, TNT, Dan TDM and snake eyes were my childhood. This is engraved in my memory. RIP my boy
You brought back a core memory I didn't knew I had
This video is so well done, I can't believe is so underrated, this video is the reason I am going to sleep at 5am instead of 4:30am

this probably feels like a skibidi toilet documentary to the people who were above the age of 15 during exploding tnt's popularity
😭😭
I was just thinking that this guy was genz’s skibidi toilet then I see your comment
@@yasaraozethis shit better than skibidi toilet
@@voodoo2006 anything’s better than skibidi toilet
💀💀
7:57 I can relate to the appendix part. I used to watch Unspeakablegaming back in the day and one of his videos was “who’s your daddy birthday party” with ryguyrocky. The video made me laugh even though I was in pain and I remember that day to this day. I miss the old unspeakable.
theres something wrong with youtube monetization when even someone like explodingTNT was having issues with it
dude I used to watch him like crazy back in 2013 can't believe you covered this
Man, i remembered watching his videos after school and it made me feel great and wanted to go school instead feeling hopeless and depressed.😅 now im already working and dont have much time, since im quite busy with work and other stuff. Im really happy knowing that he retired without any issues. Since some of my favourites youtuber done something and retired with hates and it really broke me knowing what happened.
Great video and even greater nostalgia trip. Don't stop! You're really underrated!

With the amount and quality of his uploads of machinimas and at 2019-2021 years being the reign of the big C virus I can see how and why he would stop, no complaints whatsoever, a man who provided us consistent years of fun and entertainment needs to retire someday, i hope Explodingtnt lives a healthy and long life
The nostalgia of explodingTNT damn this hits different when were all grown up now
Damn, forgot about ExplodingTNT, memories and nostalgia…
I watched these machinimas as a non speaking English 6-7yo child in russian dub. I think i have catched on some english because the captions on top of the heads stayed.
I loved machinimas and believe that it is one of the biggest mistakes that English TH-cam didn't quite experiment with 3rd person machina shows and series as much as russian-speaking yt did and still does. Machinimas are an amazing way of getting people's greatest minds together, from in-game builders, skin creators, operators and modders to outside-game writers, 3d modellers, animators, editors, vocie actors. Amazing way of experimenting with content and possibilities, even starting a career.
I don't watch any of the russian yt anymore, not interested, EXCEPT for Minecraft series. They are so high in quality, however are mostly horror/apocalypse themed. Everything ohtside these themes is a treature for me.
тоже самое братан
By machinimas do you mean animations?
if anyone deserves a happy retirement, its him. thank you TNT. i loved his server!
I was waiting for somebody to make analytical videos about Minecraft youtubers a little less known, great work
He might be not on youtube anymore, but atleast we can still appreciate his legacy
Glad I can say I grew up watching his videos. Thank you ExplodingTNT! ❤️
i remember this guy, he was definitely a legend
I’m by glad that failboat is still making content and it’s really good! I’m glad to see someone from explodingtnt is still doing good and was able his content different from explodingTNT and Minecraft.
I somehow nearly forgot about this channel... ExplodingTnT was one of the first TH-cam channels I ever watched. I'm still subscribed to this day but the lack of videos and I forgot about... I do still regularly watch failboat though, so that's nice.
explodingtnt was actually peak. he's one of the only youtubers from years ago that i still sometimes go back and watch
This is my childhood. I miss it so much.
Man this guy was a part of my childhood for some time, glad i grew up watching him for a while, the guy had very fun videos and was ahead of it's time. Unfortunately for him, that time has caught up and overtaken him, however he deserves a well-earnt rest. Thank you TNT.
oh damn
TNT vaguely rang a bell until you mentioned failboat, pink sheep, and purple sheep
simpler times
I was a loyal fan of TNT since waay back in 2013. I remember going onto TH-cam on my parents’ computer every few days and searching for his videos because I didn’t have an account to subscribe with. He was a formative part of so many of our childhoods and I hope that he’s healthy and happy wherever he is now.
Omg your video brings back so many memories!!! I don't even recall when did I grow out of ExplodingTNT, but he was indeed part of my childhood 😭
I watched this man on the school bus everyday during my freshman year of high school. Going to school made me feel so depressed but he made me feel joy in those early mornings and helped me take on each day. Really was an integral part of my life growing up.
his writing skills were some of the best and funniest stuff. I miss him, but at least we do still have lots of stuff left.
used to watch him a lot in the past, this video brought back many memories
This is Very reminiscent of SMG4.
I made a comic of smg4 and exploding tnt and Bob and purple shep rapped together and annoyed the others because they're both voiced by willfromafar voice system
@@bewearstar9462 WHAT
Tbf, atleast ExplodingTNT knew when to stop
It wasn't just "Go until we become a content farm" like SMG4
@JodiGeo smg4 isnt a content farm but it did change
@@bewearstar9462 You don't know the meaning of a content farm then
Man came, made us happy, refused to elaborate, and left
I miss explodingtnt man.... I am glad to know this legend was also canadian.
THE EDITING HERE LOOKS SO GOOD! IM ACTUALLY IMPRESSED. thats all i wanted to say here tbh.
Exploding tnt was my everything growing up along with the other Minecraft youtubers
A true legend. :-) He made my childhood fr 🙏
To be honest the retierment of Exploding TNT hurt a lot more than the retierment of MatPat even thought he didn't do a goodbye video he was the main person that made my childhood and he and DanTDM were the main people I grew up with. So seeing him gone was the worst loss of every other TH-camr
When I was younger, I would watch his content a lot. I genuinely liked it, though I eventually lost track of his channel after about a year. To see that he's stopped uploading by now really upsets me.
I'll miss him.
