Drew Pickles: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

Drew was introduced into the [[The Barney Bunch|Barney Bunch]] by user [[StrawberryBarney]] in 2005 in the flash [[Drew Pickles is REALLY REALLY GAY!]] on [[Newgrounds]]. The original users found him quite funny and he quickly grew to become the face and mascot of the group, having appeared in numerous flashes.

After making their way to [[YouTube]] in 2006, Drew grew more in popularity thanks to the [[Drew Pickles Goes To]] videos, which had him going to random places and enacting his super swell shenanigans. User [[BooNube]] would popularize Drew's iconic catchphrase of "Bag, that was swell!" (~~Though~~ some users ~~misheard it~~ as "~~Bang, that was Swell!~~" ~~which had some users hhave Drew say instead at times~~) which Drew still uses to this very day. His depiction in videos also shifted, as he became a lot more aggressive and dealt with his problems in a more planned out, tactical, and swell way.

Despite his popularity and being the main face of the Barney Bunch/Speakonia Community, many high-ranking members of the community began to look at Drew in a more negative light by the mid to late 2010s during the [[Barney Bunch Renaissance|Renaissance]] era, thanks in part to the oversaturation of Goes To videos and various interpretations of the character straying far away from what he once was, and serving as a mouthpiece for the content creator's opinions (most infamously by commentary channel DrewPicklesIsSwell1957). This shift caused many of the high-ranking members to turn to other characters, the [[The Wiggles|Wiggles]] especially, instead, although many users still continue to use Drew to this very day, especially as the Wiggles themselves became less utilized and ultimately fell back into obscurity following the end of the [[Second Barney Bunch Renaissance|Second Renaissance]], as well as many members reverting his personality back to being close to what it was originally.
