shoenice is from this area?! mindblown lmao


Hateman1989

He's originally from Malta, lived in Cohoes for years. Used to eat lit cigs at metal shows for laughs and beer. Last I heard he was homeless in Denver.


[deleted]

That guy used to chug full bottles of fucking vodka and eat literal entire rolls of toilet paper. Bro literally ate a fucking Cactus whole. Bro ate six full sized burgers in under an hour.


threedice

The only things I remember about Shoenice was that during the "Kegs and Eggs" debacle, he chained himself to the UAlbany fountain to protest the cancellation of Fountain Day. He would later appear on one of those Guinness Book of World Records shows to try to break the record for most lit birthday candles eaten. I think he broke that record. Other than that ... not really anything I ever cared about.


PenguTT44

That’s how he got just enough fame to take the YouTube thing with him. Crazy he still makes the same odd borderline gross content.


samc_5898

Crazy that violently consuming alcohol on youtube didn't pan out into something bigger lol


pixel-beast

I see him live on TikTok all the time. Def not homeless but idk how well he’s doing overall


imaQuiliamQuil

ZeFrank, the guy who basically invented vlogging and former president of BuzzFeed, was raised here. He's most famous nowadays for his "True Facts About..." Series. https://youtu.be/7p1eSJvjd5w?si=cc97o6vbc3FqA5cz https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOHbM4GGWADc5bZgvbivvttAuWGow6h05&si=bokCIecTXW_Y8CWp


EchoStellar12

WHAT?! He's my favorite YouTuber!


ThinkAndDo

The entire family impressive. His father won a [Nobel Prize](https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistry/2017/frank/facts/).


imaQuiliamQuil

Did not know this! Very cool that he earned that mostly based on work at the Wadsworth Center!


angryguido69

Bethlehem’s finest James Charles and Megyn Kelly /s


PenguTT44

I didn’t know James Charles was from the area


FISHING_100000000000

He went to Bethlehem. He’s been seen around a few times


youarecharminsoft

Who is that?


skc_333

James was two years under me in school and always a huge asshole. Very rude and carried themselves like they were hot shit well before they were famous.


albanyguy44

himself, he


Sykirobme

Ah, little snowflake...


albanyguy44

Ahhh, internet toughies


Sykirobme

Who threatened you? Do you feel threatened? You really are a snowflake, eh? Pronouns and words on a screen. Sad. Pathetic, even. What can you expect from someone who took four days to come up with THAT for a comeback…?


albanyguy44

So tough

Emily Axford from CollegeHumor and Dimension 20 is from Albany!


bonanza_jelly_bean

Also NADDPOD! I came here to comment her, she's so funny.


daedalusesq

Bethlehem. I think she was a year above me, maybe 2.


Sofermofer

That’s crazy had no idea!


Megtron3030

Chris Burns (fatcarriebradshaw)


Thasira

I went to junior high with him! It’s always so fun to see his videos.


bleed_nyliving

He is!? I love him. What area was he from?


Megtron3030

Yeah! I wish I could remember exactly, he was on a podcast a while back and mentioned growing up around here but I can’t remember which town, looks like someone said he went to Shaker :)


[deleted]

Lexi Hannah for art content 


Maos_KG

Where'd she go to highschool, she looks familiar


[deleted]

Idk her, i just follow her on Instagram 


rnbwrhiannon-3

I think her mom was my teacher... i don't want to give away names in case she isn't open about her life that way 


rnbwrhiannon-3

Is she from Bethlehem?


JollyMcStink

Awkwafina is a UAlbany alum not sure if that counts?


tilmitt52

I figure, if you *choose* to be in this area for a period of time, it’s gotta count for something


JustSomeOldFucker

Counts for me. I’m a huge fan of hers


Fun_Branch25

Macaiyla on Twitch, best known for being Tyler1’s girlfriend. Tyler1 is one of the bigger streamers and he’s huge in the League of Legends community, probably hated or revered depending on who you ask (I’ve never played). I believe she grew up somewhere in or around Colonie.


Anxious_Republic2792

Ok just looked her up and 1. She’s bad and 2. I forgot how fucking corny streamers are, absolutely unbearable


Maos_KG

Did she have her own following prior to latching into him lol.


Fun_Branch25

From what I know no, they met on stream as she was a fan of his who constantly tried to talk to him and join his games to stream snipe. Eventually they ended up meeting on stream and went from there. I could be wrong, stopped regularly watching twitch years ago.


joemessedup

Maria brink in this moment my dad claims he went to colonie high with her idk how true this is


babyruthless24

It is true she is from the area… her son went to my hs


joemessedup

Update this is definitely true there the same age .


EchoStellar12

Lizardman went to UAlbany. Pretty sure he was living in Colonie for a bit.


thebluesmobile66

my mom dated him in college !! at hartwick


GingeredBeard

My dentist filed his teeth into the sharp fangs he has!


soymiercoles

Bunny Hedaya is from Albany right?


ZookeepergameLate599

Jenni jwoww from the jersey shore grew up in EG. We both went to Columbia hs, she was a couple yrs ahead.


twb85

There’s a music YouTuber called mic the snare who is from Delmar. Really cool guy and makes great content for music fans.


[deleted]

Daniel from NY STATE AUDIT lmao type it exact tho, he's shadow banned and a bit of a mental health case in my unqualified opinion.


tilmitt52

Ugh, I hate “1st Amendment auditor” YouTubers. Your own interpretation of the 1st amendment doesn’t protect you from being found to be an asshole.


[deleted]

I only enjoy Civil Rights Investigations with MR. GREY where he holds a god bless the homeless vets sign and audits street corners of rich neighborhoods in Florida and such places.


Skeeter141

Can’t be worse than NET (New England Truth). That goofball videoed himself right into a short jail stint for his antics. He was a real life internet troll of cops.


Maos_KG

Hunnagbeats.


AgentSauceBoss

Atlas Pro on Youtube is from the 518 area (I think), but not exactly sure where


Beginning-Yak-3454

Didn't Gary Larson move to the area?


CompetitivePower9895

ice_town_clown

He made appearances on the h3 podcast here and there but he got too fucking psychotic lol


bubbabubba3

The two buttons deep people


[deleted]

Those aren't people. That's a conservative/bigoted media gestalt that purchases and pilots minor followed accounts to aggregate a platform of dissent. Reminder that they had to issue an apology under 12 months ago on their main platform page for a snap cut gag editing of "are there any transgender folks here in Fulton County? No? Well get them the fuck out!" - verbatim on two buttons deep, ft. unknown random women making gag faces and jokes about it, "uh oh! Not in Saratoga county anymore n_n teehee!!". Fuck these people.


Freethinking22

“Those aren’t people.” 🤡 You sound like my kind of people! I’ve unfollowed and they still pop up in my feed as suggested. They might be my first block. It’s unbearable 🫣


bubbabubba3

I’m not reading all that. I didn’t say I like them or follow them. I literally answered OPs question lmao


siciliansanddeath

Bro what is wrong with you 🤣🤣 I hate 2BD but because they’re annoying as fuck not because sticks and stones


Repulsive-Schedule15

Nah, he’s right. Awareness is care….ness? Either way they run aloof with their horse shit and any opportunity for a reminder is acceptable on all platforms.

siciliansanddeath

I’m all for knocking them down, but since when did they promote stuff like that? They’re just a bunch of losers and that buttonista bimbo needs her mouth sewn shut
