I remember at lidcombe station, a guy dressed as Trent got the shit kicked out of him because they all thought it really was Trent, but it was just a dude going to a dress up party. To the guys credit, he stayed in character until it got physical lol
Trent from Punchy was the first video l ever watched on YT. Memories of being 12 and thinking it was the funniest thing i've ever seen and it truly still is. Fuckin sick ayyyyy
I was in Sydney for work, and just happened to be on a train. All of a sudden I got excited, jumped out of my seat, and took a photo. We'd stopped at Lidcombe Station and I needed a photo of the best place to do max doughies 😂
This is insane. I was playing this video in class and it was a quote goldmine between the lads. And when you spoke about Beached as your video idea too… it just sent me back to high school again. Cheers for the nostalgia!
Trent had such an impact on most of my social circle back at the time. Lost count of the amount of times we watched it. We still use Trent quotes in our late 30s and 40s now. Legendary!
Oh my lord! When the original Trent video was released just about every tradie in Australia was walking around reciting the classic Trent one-liners! 😂
I'm a Kiwi who lived in Australia during the years Trent went viral. I had no idea you guys did beached as also. Man the aussie kids bullied me so hard for that vid lmao.
so good ! thank you for sharing this story with us! they are both iconic clips! would love to see trent in 2025... perhaps trent from punchy has kids and a partner now....
3:42 Can confirm, Trent from Punchy felt like multiple people I'd grown up around. Which is why until this video I genuinely thought he was a real person.
@@Syntax58 Again, nice try. You will get there one day champ. Generally the people who feel the need to say stuff like that are the ones who genuinely do care. If you didn't care you wouldn't be replying. Soft cok
This did the rounds at my high school and well into my late 20’s from the day it hit RUclips 🤣absolute peak Aussie humour. So many ridiculous quotes come out of Trent from punchy 😂
I wasn't going to watch the entirety of this video.. The more they talked, i continued to watch and listen! An entertaining conversation between you three. Trent from Punchy was a hilarious character that we all have seen someone out in public around Australia! Now knowing that Trent is the Beached Whale also was unknown to me. Keep up the funny videos. Cheers for the many many laughs
2:50 my nickname was cooky at school. I remember watching this on my flip phone. 😂 I’d love to see a mass interview of the people or friends school colleagues that knew you from back then. 😂
Trent would've been a good character on houses just like Jimmy the junkie although in real life he's not a junkie he plays the perfect junkie 😂 Trent would've fit it to Sunnyvale
I need Trent to know this. I am a kiwi living in the Isle of Man. I have a small yet passionate sub-group of friends here where to this day since 2007/8(?) we almost exclusively communicate using excerpts of “Trent from Punchy”. Bump into a mate in town? “hey ya fuckn dickheeeeaaadd!” - as loud as possible; does not matter who’s in ear shot. Leaving someones house? “get the fuckouttamyshop!” it goes on and on. A true cultural legend & icon. ❤ Trent from Punchy
The guy on the left (Kenny?) could work on his interviewing skills. Keeps interrupting the storytelling from Trent and asking useless questions: 3:26 and 8:19 "now? really? what? now? 2025? Kids now?
This completely blew my mind lol I was around 22 or so when these came out and yeah used to quote them both constantly….would never have known they were both the same person 😂🤯
He's so right, it's so bizarre how the world of RUclips was like in the early days and how the internet folklore all started. So glad I watched this and admire the legacy of certain viral content and their origin.
Australian folklore
"just fukn relax, aye" is heavy in my rotation to this day ✌️
"Hummer and a chicken feed all in one, fucken good time, have a bit of fun" still gets passed around by the campfire 😂
I didn't realise how much trent was in my vocab 😂
So good
(The algo will get this one roaring too...)
"ts richcunt shit" is still in mine 😂
Didn’t know Trent and Beached Whale was by the same!
Both Aussie classics etched into history!
he also does bondi hipsters
Yeah wow that’s crazy
Trent is up there with democracy manifest as Australian legends.
Succulent Chinese meal?
Just waiting for a mate...
I cant believe im actually watching 3 men react to trent from punchy in 2025, thats fully sic ey
Yeah and one of them is Trent!!!
@@SociallyIneptInvertebrate oh true that's Trent!
Can't b-leev is 2025 lad. Where 2024 go
@Sloppyjoe7390 did... you actually watch the thing?
thats HEEEEEEEAAPPS sick ayyyyy
Funny to see Trent from Punchy is the most private school middle aged man stereotype.
Rich kids making fun of poor disadvantaged kids is a tale as old as time
He is?
@TaipanPete Pymble and Warrawee... yeah that's top 1%
He's also in Bondi Hipsters, he's just an actor. He's also part of Beached Az.
Not sure he's middle aged yet I call 50s middle aged.
I still quote Trent daily 😂😂
Absolute classic! loved hearing the back story!
Daily is a bit excessive
Trent from Punchy origin story before GTA 6....
Thank you for this video man
As a kid I thought Trent was real and there was a quest to find him and have a chat, friends would say they have spoken to him as an urban legend.
Everyone knows someone like Trent haha
Legit it definitely became an urban legend
Me to haha wondered if he died from crack lol
COPPERS COPPERS
Hey mate love your channel
Bearing!
The man, the myth, the Mr Bearing ! Cheers cnut 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺
You're still a copper and you're non-binary
Doesn’t compare to cooked units from Frankston
I remember at lidcombe station, a guy dressed as Trent got the shit kicked out of him because they all thought it really was Trent, but it was just a dude going to a dress up party. To the guys credit, he stayed in character until it got physical lol
The dark side of trent lore
@@brendanc7302 plenty of grubs around there.
Max doughies brah
Trent from Punchy was the first video l ever watched on YT. Memories of being 12 and thinking it was the funniest thing i've ever seen and it truly still is.
Fuckin sick ayyyyy
Yeah well 12 year olds have shit senses of humour LOL. "It's all gay".
Cok for cash ayyyyy
Last year I befriended someone in a video game just because their username was TrentFromPunchy.
For years I flat out wondered if I’d ever run into Trent and me and my mates were convinced that he was real 😂
Same here bro he was real to us in New Zealand as well. That’s what we thought Australians were like
Haha same
I wish I never saw this video
Trent was a lie
I was in Sydney for work, and just happened to be on a train. All of a sudden I got excited, jumped out of my seat, and took a photo. We'd stopped at Lidcombe Station and I needed a photo of the best place to do max doughies 😂
If at Lidcombe Should of went Dooooooolies 😅
@@h2ohydrox I highly doubt you'd last 5 minutes at lidcombe station.
Trent from Punchy is the funniest video of all time. An absolute classic!
This is insane. I was playing this video in class and it was a quote goldmine between the lads. And when you spoke about Beached as your video idea too… it just sent me back to high school again. Cheers for the nostalgia!
Man I remember everyone at school talking like this after watching the video 🤣
I remember everyone at school talking like this coz that's how we talked

We still use Trent quotes in our late 30s and 40s now. Legendary!

He invests in biotech companies rumored to study how Aussie slang modifies brain chemistry.
Still use trent quotes today. Burnt into my brain, love the back story fellas.
I'm a Kiwi who lived in Australia during the years Trent went viral. I had no idea you guys did beached as also. Man the aussie kids bullied me so hard for that vid lmao.
Greatest Australian acting of all time.
Did not know Trent was a character.
Remember watching this sooo long ago
Trent from Punchy is my ringtone 😂
I was convinced trent was stuck in a forever psychosis 😂
Both still classics. Didn't know you did both until now. Well there ya go.
I have waited for this for years
Definitely remember when this came out, never thought I’d hear the back story! Always wondered if it was acted or not 😂
Only North Shore boys could Parody the Westy in this most exquisite way.....
so good ! thank you for sharing this story with us! they are both iconic clips! would love to see trent in 2025... perhaps trent from punchy has kids and a partner now....
What a legend. Greatest actor of our generation.
Man this is fantastic
That video will never not be funny!
I quote it on the daily
Wow, blast from the past. What a great "suggested video" lol. Can't believe you guys did Beached Az as well!!
Been making that noise at 01:17 since this came out. Australian classic.
Aw shut, I didn't know that's where Darude Sandstorm came from.
3:42 Can confirm, Trent from Punchy felt like multiple people I'd grown up around. Which is why until this video I genuinely thought he was a real person.
Same bro. Until today I thought Trent was a real person. So believable. I swear every postcode has its own Trent
Fark! Wish this didn't come in my recommended feed. I didn't realise it was fake. Good work lads.
After grief comes acceptance. I was shocked when I found out too. Just goes to show how good an actor he is.
This guy and macca also did a show called, soul mates, such a good show!!!!
Bondi Hipsters was the crowning achievement.
Trent was way before his time, brought the mullet back before it was cool... again. A true trend setter.
Mullets are for W-ankers.
One might even say a true 'Trent' setter...
@Syntax58 I know you were hoping that was going to land, it didn't. 😳
@@Daniel-s7m6j whether it did or didn't doesn't phase me really, what makes me laugh is people thinking I care 😅
@@Syntax58 Again, nice try. You will get there one day champ. Generally the people who feel the need to say stuff like that are the ones who genuinely do care. If you didn't care you wouldn't be replying. Soft cok
My name is Trent and the amount of people that comment ‘Oi, Trent from Punchy’. Timeless 😂
I was in primary school and kids where calling me Trent from punchy 😂 loved it was a crack up
I work with a bloke named Kevin. Needless to say, we call him a sicko with a big dicko
Legend has it, old Trent signed a pact in beer foam, promising comedic dominance.
This did the rounds at my high school and well into my late 20’s from the day it hit RUclips 🤣absolute peak Aussie humour. So many ridiculous quotes come out of Trent from punchy 😂
Yea I didn’t know he was a fake bloke though,
Brother, you have no idea how big this was in my friend group. We imitated this ALLLLL the time
He’s rumored to have found a hidden formula for unstoppable Aussie comedic timing.
To see Mr punchy speak so well now is absolutely hilarious. Quite well spoken VS Trent from puncheyy
Haven't you seen Bondi Hipsters? Nick Boshier is the one without a beard.
Glad I watched this. You guys are awesome!
Shaped a generation, and generations to come
Iconic

This is fucking incredible, would watch an hour long doco
He’s installed comedic triggers in major Aussie landmarks, waiting to be activated.
The comedic impetus behind his old rants could be the key to unlocking advanced Aussie humor.
2:50 my nickname was cooky at school. I remember watching this on my flip phone. 😂 I’d love to see a mass interview of the people or friends school colleagues that knew you from back then. 😂
this is strength, to watch yourself in an old video
I am so glad to have found this
Need a follow-up asap with Cookie.
Brooo cookie is now a Wookie that lives in the sticks n goes doofing
damn love these stories, trent from punchy is a classic!
The company i work for subdivided bass hill drive in about 15 years ago.
If he ever utters “Punchy rules!” on live TV, the secret revolution officially begins.
He invests in eco-friendly breweries, ensuring an endless supply of comedic nectar.
can we please get a 1 hour podcast dedicated to this 'cookie' guy
He’s rumored to have memorized ancient Aussie spells that amplify laughter into mind control.
... I'm big enough to admit that I thought Trent from Punchy was a real local junkie until right now.
Oh man... This takes me waaay back! Playing Wii and smoking bongs on friday night with the ladz.
"Coppas Coppas punch em in the face."
So many people I met through my life swore they knew Trent. Now I know who’s full of shit
This is amazing and quite surreal to watch. To this day i still say lines from trent. Give me back my purse and kfc humdinger being my favourites
He’s quietly funding comedic talent across Australia, forming a secret comedic empire.
He uses subtle references to “Punchy” in every script, activating hidden triggers in viewers.
Man i had good cred in highschool for doing a good Trent from Punchy 😅
Canadian here, never heard of Punchy before but you get a like and a sub. Thanks for the entertainment gentleman 👍✌️
Punchbowl is a suburb in Sydney
Trent would've been a good character on houses just like Jimmy the junkie although in real life he's not a junkie he plays the perfect junkie 😂 Trent would've fit it to Sunnyvale
Did you know Jimmy raps, he did an album which is on Spotify he goes by the name Jimmy speed and holds the junkie voice the whole album. Fair crack up

Keeps interrupting the storytelling from Trent and asking useless questions:
3:26 and 8:19 "now? really? what? now? 2025? Kids now?
That's Asians in general.
Ruined the interview, I think he just likes hearing his own voice
The day he reverts to “Punchy mode” on camera is the day the matrix cracks.
“Trent from Punchy” was actually a test run for a bigger psychological experiment.
We need another season of soul brothers..
He’s possibly building a comedic arsenal, weaponizing punch lines for mass influence.
He’s believed to have a secret handshake with each new producer, sealing comedic pacts.
Absolute Aussie Gold 🇦🇺❤️
Lad culture down under, back when men were men
This completely blew my mind lol I was around 22 or so when these came out and yeah used to quote them both constantly….would never have known they were both the same person 😂🤯
definitely generational, i first seen it when i was 12-13 and im now in my 20s, still "it's heaps sick aye" is a common phrase in our friend group
The shift from sleeveless shirts to tailored suits was orchestrated by top-tier psychological stylists.
Bring back the punch man
His laughter has an unusual frequency that some say influences the alpha waves in our brains.
Brilliant fellas!! Long live Trent Trent Trent !!!
Bunch of cookers
Some say he’s more puppet master than puppet-pulling the strings on entire productions.
The way he effortlessly transitions between refined speech and Aussie slang screams advanced training.
Bass hill drive ins have been shut down for like over 20 years lol. only one drive ins that I know of now, which is near eastern creek.
Every audition he attends is actually a clandestine meeting with global power brokers.
Hummer and a chicken feed!
The comedic synergy he displays is beyond human, hinting at possible extraterrestrial contact.
glad Trent is doing well. we quoted this vid so much in highschool
Kinda ruined the legend knowing he is just another rich kid rather than the man in the video ..
Oh no, and beached az as well....
Santa Claus isn't real either 😢
He's so right, it's so bizarre how the world of RUclips was like in the early days and how the internet folklore all started. So glad I watched this and admire the legacy of certain viral content and their origin.
He might be in daily contact with Aussie bush spirits, gleaning their approval for each new role.
Ozzy sense of humour is bang on . The accent adds to it aswell. Hopefully, I’ll visit there one day.
He once sponsored a local footy team and demanded their chants reference “Punchy.”
These skits basically sum up male banter and how it creates these iconic videos
