On May 8, 2011, ExplodingTNT created his KZhead channel. ExplodingTNT was bored and had nothing to do, so he made this choice to keep himself occupied. Little did ExplodingTNT know, he would become one of Minecraft's greatest legends in only a few short years.

hi
*I REMEMBER THIS*
did he catch bovid or something? did failboat still speak with him?
He Never Left Us.
I'm so glad he didn't turn into a content farm creator.
fr
Yeah.
Yeah that would have been so much worse
I mean, he made that squid game video
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 KZhead likely sank to the bottom of his priorities.
He died a hero and didnt live long enough to see himself become a villain
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 😂
RIP exploding tnt seeya in the next era good job of not being the corrupted minecraft youtubers of today the first ever legend of minecraft
He survived the Minecraft youtubers don't touch little kids challenge (impossible)
@@catenjoyer76 nothing is impossible for exploding tnt and pink sheep they are gods
Most KZheadr watch their contents decay, TNT never had to.
“Prankster Gangster” was such an underrated line, brings back memories
I used to say it all the time when I was younger, and nobody got the reference or thought it was funny 😂 best times of my life
Man haven't heard that in a while
it was actually overrated and annoying, kids always spammed the forums and server chat with that line
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
i miss pink sheep
Just heard that he is actually Exploding TNT all the time
@@zarifamsyar6274no really.
Hello
I knew a dude (pat) who claimed to be Pink Sheep, probably a rumor but I wouldn't be surprised.
Man's was the famous jock kid so I wouldn't be surprised if it was true tbh.
Just in case you don't know, TNT himself shouted out your video on Twitter, so, be proud that you got his attention. I'm glad he's doing ok
Same, I used to watch his videos when I was younger, glad to hear he's doing fine IRL
"Stand Proud, You're strong."

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
pink sheep with a moustache: the distinguished gentleman 😢
He also had MLG glasses, such an epic dude
truly a prankster gangster
And his son. Both Purple Shep and Bob from Smg4 share the same beautiful voice
Well
Wonder what ever happened to these creators?
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 :((.
Damn reading prankster gangster gave me flash backs of pink sheep's monotone ai voice that for some reason worked so well for the character
@@decoy3641 ikr? I was so naive back then that I thought it was his actual voice. I was so shocked when I realised it wasn't lmao.
@@EndishGal lmao me too 😭😭
@@decoy3641this was just a Text to Speech, way before actual AI voices, but yeah it fit the sheep well, same goes for purple’s TTS
..........
I literally forgot about Exploding TNT, I always used to watch him. Hope he's living better now
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.
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)
same
Even I'm not that retarded omg😭
Isn't failboat a different guy tho?
@musabigga Ya but before Tnt's voice reveal I thought they were the same
Anyone else click on this cuz ExplodingTNT's skin in the thumbnail unlocked a childhood memory and you couldn't remember the channel name?
Fr, I completely forgot about this guy but now I remember I watched him soooooooooo much
@@Winter-Moons-was-takenYES
Yup
Hell yeah
Yes. Love his videos. Especially those bets with Pink Sheep.
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 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 :)
“Humans can’t agree on one thing” We all wanted to be in one of ExplodingTNT’s videos
Yes.
This
Yes.
so fucking true bro
true
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 KZhead 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.
honestly its good because i dont think he would survive in a modern youtube
.............
@@TheUltimateLOL-jx3es okay dude don't just spam dots please
@@therealapyr 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 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
Aww that's sweet
He really was the best comfort channel I could turn to during the pandemic, but this really makes me miss his content.
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)

This video makes me emotional because of nostalgia. I suddenly want to watch Exploding TNT content. I miss them so much.
You just unlocked a memory from my childhood! Thank you very much ❤
I remember watching him as a kid, he was so nostalgic, especially when failboat sang the song “Friday”
Do you think if we get enough people to ask, he'll reperform the song?
171 likes wow
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

@@dry4smash946 Yep same dude lol.
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
Same, he is the reason I speak English so well nowadays

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.
thanks for this vid man, I believe he was a prominent figure in so many of our childhoods. also his videos lowkey helped me learn english which im forever grateful for.
just so happy he never was in drama, never did anything that made people not like him, just did what he did and enjoyed it

I really hope he ok. Hearing he act of every once in a while I was on Twitter makes me feel Satisfied enough because I always had a hard timeing. And cannot shake the thought of what something happened to him during the time of covid.
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 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!
You brought back a core memory I didn't knew I had
The "I Give Up" Hole is one of my favourite recurring jokes of his vids, It used to always get a laugh out of me back then
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.
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.

All I remember of pink sheep is his build reviews
You just unlocked a memory of mine, i was just listening to your video, but then i looked and saw a video style that i remembered, there was one of many TNTs videos on a background, i absolutely forget that I've ever watched him. And I'm not even from English speaking country! I'm not sure was i watching original (most likely no, im 98% sure i learned English after i stopped watching his content) or translations to my native language. It's not like a favourite childhood tv show memory, so I can't relate to all this nostalgia surrounding TNT, yet I'm now know, that i watched a legend.
I can remember watching his stuff ages ago ExplodingTNT I always loved it

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 loved watching his videos when I was younger. I hope he's doing well.
I loved watching ExplodingTNT when I was seven and eight because I could watch the videos at night in secret without having to turn up the volume. At the time I wasn't allowed to stay up as late as I did and it felt soooooo cool to be able to watch something that didn't require me to hear it. Thanks to ExplodingTNT for making my childhood so amazing
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 KZhead 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 is a great vid really made me feel old lol well edited and made. Hope you get more views soon u deserve it!
explodingTNT is the youtuber that got me into minecraft in the first place. i remember watching dozens of his videos before i even had minecraft. that was like 12 years ago. man
I'm not sure if I ever wanted exploding tnt but I did remember seeing his channel and I think even remember him being mentioned in other videos, but knowing this guy was another legend it sucks that another one stopped, but I'm glad of an impact he left, even though I don't know if I watched him. I am happy I got to recognize him
Nostalgia hit me hard😢 I wish explodingtnt could come back and the old minecraft content
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 really liked his videos when i was younger i remember playing on his server as well and meeting some incredible people there that unfortunately i haven’t played with in a long time really miss those times and miss those people wish i could play with them again
Watching this reactivated core memories, cheers dude
I got so much nostalgia seeing you bring up all the different videos he made throughout this, he was such a special part of my childhood
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 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.
ah it's been so long since I watch this guy or heard someone talk about him, I just love ExplodingTNT.
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
Great video and even greater nostalgia trip. Don't stop! You're really underrated!

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
Bro you just brought back so many memories. TNT was one of the people that inspired me to try and make content for YT.
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
I was waiting for somebody to make analytical videos about Minecraft youtubers a little less known, great work
This video reminded me of the good days. After he stopped posting I forgot about him. Now I dont think I'll ever forget. Thanks TNT.

Pink sheep, TNT, Dan TDM and snake eyes were my childhood. This is engraved in my memory. RIP my boy
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 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 KZheadr behind stampy 😢😭
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.
He will, in fact, forever hold a special place in my heart. Huge part of my childhood, but now it's only fair the legend gets to retire after making us videos for so long. Best of luck to him in his life.
Don’t usually comment on stuff but I remember watching TnT at the height of his popularity with my friend. My buddy was super into the prangster gangster scene and I loved all Tnt’s machinimas. I hadn’t even thought about TNT until I saw this video. Thanks for taking me down memory lane!
I really miss this guy, he was my absolute favorite Minecraft KZheadr. I wish he still uploads, his last video was 2 years ago, he's still here but i wish he uploads a video this month, he basically made my childhood, but if he couldn't for a reason, i understand. I hope he's doing good right now. He was the reason why i started Minecraft. ExplodingTNT, if you see this video and see my comment, thank you man, thank you so much on behalf of everyone and me.
I somehow nearly forgot about this channel... ExplodingTnT was one of the first KZhead 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.
"Lost island followed the tale of Tnt, Notch, Herobrine, Tnt's friend; Failboat, and Pink Sheep" Gave me severe emotional whiplash
if anyone deserves a happy retirement, its him. thank you TNT. i loved his server!
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.
i remember some of he old ones even the deleted one... never followed him activly... god bless him
I remember watching and enjoying his content so much, and I was ecstatic when he came back, its sad to see him go, but he deserves a good retirement, if he stays gone, that's his decision, and I won't criticize him, so long Exploding TNT, you were my childhood.
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.
