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 RUclips 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 😂
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.
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 :((.
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
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 RUclips 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.
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
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)
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 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
I forgot about Explodingtnt! Man i used to love watching Machinimas its actually how i got into the animation community and animation and eventually other fandoms, i found him through unfortunately skydoesminecraft (saying his name still hurts...) But itsy one of the few Minecraft youtube memories that is untained with the actions of Tnt becuase he was a good dude, i hope he comes back and i hope it's with something he can enjoy
@@rein_k. Rewatch it now and you know what I mean. I literally hyper fixated on that show when I was that young until it upruptly completely ended and never aired again 💀🤚

i think you went trought the same as me, Finding a random traduced video and then watching everything in english (like literally where did he came from)
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

This was a real trip down memorylane. ExplodingTNT was a huge part of my childhood and I cannot thank him enough for making it as enjoyable as it was. Also loved your video it was very well made and edited!
@@ManyFaceImpressions no that wasn’t Jen. Jen was pats original partner and they separated because pat didn’t want kids but Jen did (they was a couple) pats new girlfriend he got was toxic and make false claims about him abusing that got so bad even Jen went online to say (I was with pat for 8 years and in our time together he NEVER laid a finger on me
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.
He's one of the greatest Minecraft RUclipsrs ever to live. He never commercialized, never became a content farm, never hurt anyone and was damn good at everything he did.
TNT was a big part of my childhood, and the reason i got in to building. What I saw in his videos inspired me to try and create things of my own. Years and years later I was accepted on to McO's build team, and have stayed with the team ever since. I, my team, and the McOrigins team at large are forever grateful for the memories and opportunities you folks gave us. We've all grown older now, and I'm grateful to have grown with the people I met in my time with the server. Earlier this year we made an announcement on the McOrigins discord that the server is set to make a return. We hope the new McO will be equally as ambitious and inspiring as it was when it all started. I'm rooting for everyone's success. Thank you so much for everything 🙏🏽
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!
@@mochitheangelderg9895 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
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.
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.
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
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:
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.
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.
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
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 RUclips 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.
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 ❤
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
I somehow nearly forgot about this channel... ExplodingTnT was one of the first RUclips 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.
I was a loyal fan of TNT since waay back in 2013. I remember going onto RUclips 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 remember watching explodingtnt’s stuff CONSTANTLY as a kid(like 8-10) and my very superstitious Christian parents went through my iPad and found the herobrine videos. Safe to say they were absolutely horrified, like “why would a man have no eyes?? Why are there weapons like swords in the thumbnails??” And they took my iPad away for a good year or two. sadly in that time i kind of forgot about the guy himself but the good memories stuck in my mind. I remember having an old purple shep and pink sheep costume I made out of cardboard by my sister(who was 6 at the time)
atleast they wernt asians like if they have oportunity to see your phone for a second they willl do it like you cant have the slightest privacy and they will say that a man laughing anime style is scary
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.
I missed him and pink sheep I used to watch them so often and even when I recently started high school back then. I grew out of it not long after but to see his whole story be like this is heartbreaking and inspirational. He to me is the greatest Minecraft RUclipsr behind stampy 😢😭
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 RUclipsr
I started watching TNT in 2013. I got in trouble with my parents once after watching his videos on my Dad’s iphone. Watched him and Pink Sheep for almost 4 years. I even played MC Origins a few times. Miss those days
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
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.
Exploding tnt saved me during a rough time in my childhood I was in 1st/2nd grade when I discovered him I was being raised alone by my dad we were really poor I didn’t see him much and I struggled a lot his videos always brought me joy during tough moments now I’m entering my senior year in highschool, I will always be apart of pgn (prankster gangster nation)
Man, I'd almost forgotten about ExplodingTNT! I remember spending days watching his stuff, honestly what a legend. I never knew he made it to 2021 (sort of) though, that's amazing! I should rewatch his stuff sometime, I don't expect it's lost its charm
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 used to watch this guy's videos all the time from 2014 to 2019 when I got bored and I loved watching them along with stampy and they were always so inspiring to me. I'm extremely sad he eventually disappeared.
I don't even know how I forgot about exploding tnt for atleast over 3 years, I remember watching his videos all the time from when I srarted to play minecraft all the way to around 2020.
I never forget the videos he makes. It's so Satisfying to watch you wouldn't get bored but Alas Goodbye Exploding Tnt You are Our Childhood And Legend.

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.
This guy is the reason many people (including me) can speak english. He did more job than every english teacher on earth combined.
OH MY GOD THAT IS SO TRUE
minecraft changed a youth
me too
Real(although my English is very poor sometimes)
you gotta change that pfp man..
He's one of the greatest Minecraft RUclipsrs ever to live. He never commercialized, never became a content farm, never hurt anyone and was damn good at everything he did.
TNT was a big part of my childhood, and the reason i got in to building. What I saw in his videos inspired me to try and create things of my own. Years and years later I was accepted on to McO's build team, and have stayed with the team ever since.
I, my team, and the McOrigins team at large are forever grateful for the memories and opportunities you folks gave us. We've all grown older now, and I'm grateful to have grown with the people I met in my time with the server.
Earlier this year we made an announcement on the McOrigins discord that the server is set to make a return. We hope the new McO will be equally as ambitious and inspiring as it was when it all started. I'm rooting for everyone's success. Thank you so much for everything 🙏🏽
Hi Build Team!
@@McOriginsOfficial Hi Dev team 😆
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!
is it the same Failboat that does content with SkipTheTutorial? That's what I've been trying to figure out.
@@mochitheangelderg9895yes. It is the same failboat.
@@mochitheangelderg9895 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
this is my child hood, I miss that prankster gangster sheep
Dude I have always thought about ExplodingTNT, and nobody talked about him and this was long deserved bravo!
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.
I remember my cousin showing me the channel and binging it with him, the simpler days
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
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.
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
Nostalgia hit me hard😢 I wish explodingtnt could come back and the old minecraft content
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
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.
Pink sheep, TNT, Dan TDM and snake eyes were my childhood. This is engraved in my memory. RIP my boy
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.
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
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
Damn, forgot about ExplodingTNT, memories and nostalgia…
Thank you for unlocking these memories
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 RUclips 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?
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 ❤
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
You brought back a core memory I didn't knew I had
I remember ExplodingTNT.. his fans are getting old never forget.
I somehow nearly forgot about this channel... ExplodingTnT was one of the first RUclips 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.
I was a loyal fan of TNT since waay back in 2013. I remember going onto RUclips 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.
oh damn
TNT vaguely rang a bell until you mentioned failboat, pink sheep, and purple sheep
simpler times
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
I loved watching his videos when I was younger. I hope he's doing well.
Exploding tnt was my everything growing up along with the other Minecraft youtubers
I remember watching explodingtnt’s stuff CONSTANTLY as a kid(like 8-10) and my very superstitious Christian parents went through my iPad and found the herobrine videos. Safe to say they were absolutely horrified, like “why would a man have no eyes?? Why are there weapons like swords in the thumbnails??” And they took my iPad away for a good year or two. sadly in that time i kind of forgot about the guy himself but the good memories stuck in my mind. I remember having an old purple shep and pink sheep costume I made out of cardboard by my sister(who was 6 at the time)
atleast they wernt asians like if they have oportunity to see your phone for a second they willl do it like you cant have the slightest privacy and they will say that a man laughing anime style is scary
@@leeroberta.gelbolingo371 and yes, both my parents were terrified of anything anime or any kind of cartoon TV media made after 2015.
you are so underrated this video deserves to blowup!!! loved this video, tnt was truly an inspiration to me

Overrated*
@@GiovanniKody100 trippin
haha "blowup"
explodingtnt
hahahahah
i miss him so much
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.
Glad I can say I grew up watching his videos. Thank you ExplodingTNT! ❤️
I still remember the first video I watched of him.
It had to do with water in the nether. That's all I remember.
I missed him and pink sheep I used to watch them so often and even when I recently started high school back then. I grew out of it not long after but to see his whole story be like this is heartbreaking and inspirational. He to me is the greatest Minecraft RUclipsr behind stampy 😢😭
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 RUclipsr
I started watching TNT in 2013. I got in trouble with my parents once after watching his videos on my Dad’s iphone. Watched him and Pink Sheep for almost 4 years. I even played MC Origins a few times. Miss those days
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
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.
This is a great vid really made me feel old lol well edited and made. Hope you get more views soon u deserve it!
Exploding tnt saved me during a rough time in my childhood I was in 1st/2nd grade when I discovered him I was being raised alone by my dad we were really poor I didn’t see him much and I struggled a lot his videos always brought me joy during tough moments now I’m entering my senior year in highschool, I will always be apart of pgn (prankster gangster nation)
i grew up with pink sheep and never thought of explodingtnt until i got recommended one of his videos oneday, hope hes doing well
Man, I'd almost forgotten about ExplodingTNT! I remember spending days watching his stuff, honestly what a legend. I never knew he made it to 2021 (sort of) though, that's amazing! I should rewatch his stuff sometime, I don't expect it's lost its charm
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.
This brought back old memories. I can’t believe I forgot about explodingtnt, he was a huge part of my childhood
I spent so much time on his server
I used to watch this guy's videos all the time from 2014 to 2019 when I got bored and I loved watching them along with stampy and they were always so inspiring to me. I'm extremely sad he eventually disappeared.
I don't even know how I forgot about exploding tnt for atleast over 3 years, I remember watching his videos all the time from when I srarted to play minecraft all the way to around 2020.
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
I miss Exploding TNT. He is my childhood. Along with Notch, Jeb, Pink sheep, and Noob.
"ExplodingTNT? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time..."
I felt like a damn war veteran watching this lmao
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
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
This is my childhood. I miss it so much.
I never forget the videos he makes. It's so Satisfying to watch you wouldn't get bored but Alas Goodbye Exploding Tnt You are Our Childhood And Legend.
