Life Or Death
|
Life Or Death (originally known as TheFifthLife and LifeOrDeath69, born approximately 1990) was a Speakonia Community member and partner-in-crime of Blood. He originally became active in 2007, disappeared in 2010, returned in 2016 in time for the Barney Bunch Renaissance, disappeared September that year, came back shortly afterwards, and disappeared again for good in December 2016. He is considered a legend in the community. He was also one half of the BB-related music project Assfuck, in which he played the role of Johnny Henderson. His place in the project (creating the beats/supplying sketchy backing tracks) was replaced in early 2017 following his final disappearance.
History edit
Life Or Death got his start sometime in 2007. Being good friends with Blood, he made similar style of videos to him and they often collaborated together on projects or trolling schemes. They created a short-lived Speakonia group that included NFL players titled the Patriot Posse, but the idea never went anywhere. His videos, mostly later on, also involved him making fun of indie bands who he had to hear constantly on the radio at his workplace as a graphic designer. He also somewhat helped in the popularization of making fun of "shitty rundown establishments" such as Play It Again Sports, some of which he was previously employed at, his accounts of which he documented in a (roughly) two episode series in which he recalled his experiences working for said shitty run down establishments that he made nearing the end of his run.
Aside from his status in the community, LOD is also considerably infamous for his sudden disappearances. The first time in 2010 prompted Blood to lose interest and retire from the community. The second time in September 2016, Life Or Death shut down his account, which led to an outpour of tribute videos from the community, in which people would play sad generic music and hope he would come back. Not long after, he did return, explaining that he had just been fired from his job and was tired of Barney Bunch videos for that moment; this was also around the time he began said series detailing his time working at "shitty rundown establishments". The third time, and without a trace, LOD disappeared for good on December 13, 2016 and has not been seen since. His disappearance, as well as the general inactivity of users such as BarneyBunchCompany, who's returns had sparked the BB Renaissance in the first place, exacerbated the community's dark period that had begun in the spring of that year. To date, four of his videos have been confirmed to still exist, MY SUBMISSION FOR SAVAGEBOY69ALT'S WIGGLES COLLAB, CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG GETS FUCKED BY OTHER MEN XXX, THE FINE BROTHERS GET RAPED BY THE PICKLES BROTHERS GAY PORN XXX, and an entry for a collab hosted by Blood in February 2016 which was discovered on Archive.org along with the entire collab by Skewt on February 29, 2020.
