Hey guys, so I was just browsing my subreddit the other day.
When...
...I-I landed upon this.
*laughs*
And oh boy what a good start to a post.
I love when things I made when I was 12, come to light now that I'm...
...an "adult".
And the same person also found my old minecraft forum
account with the same nyan cat profile picture. So...
I figured now that this has been exposed, I might as well get a video out of it, right?
And basically this is a self expose video where I'm just going back to the 2012 2014 era and...
Um...
Just seeing what... what little Slaz was up to.
Okay, so here we got it, we've got the account Slazo567, also known as... Michael.
Ok. So what is this? We've got Michael, artist...
I... I don't know about that one.
Australia, nothing really special.
I think that's like my bio. I just put... eh. Yeah, nothing special, huh?
It's... it's honest.
Favorite movies...
I loved Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, oh my god! You remember that song?
*apparently I don't*
Favorite TV shows.
Yeah, I don't know what to say I... I have no defense.
And a show called Good Game Spawn Point, which um...
We'll get back to that later.
A favorite band slash musical artist.
Fair. My... my music back then consisted of listening to the nyan cat song like unironically on repeat
and listening to Revenge by CaptainSparklez on repeat. So...
Uh, I... I was quite the Fantana.
Um...
Let's ignore that one. Let's ignore that...
Oh no.
But the most beautiful thing, my... my magnum opus here is...
I...
What can I say? I...
I peaked at age 12.
I was something back then, oh boy.
Oh boy.
I'm gonna regret making this video so much, it's... it's only gonna get worse.
Okay, but before we move on from deviantART, there's also something I've got to show you, right?
Okay, so this deviantART here, I made it and then I couldn't find the login so I... I... I lost it, I lost the account.
It's just there now.
So, I made another one which you guys haven't found yet.
So rather than Slazo567...
It's Slazo...
765.
Genius.
Okay so the account seems a bit more plain all around, um...
I... I use my full name though, so I was...
I was getting a bit ballsier.
Also, yeah, that's my full name Michael Kochanski.
There you go, have it, it's all yours.
Yeah, the one person who recently drew me as Mike Wazowski? You were so close.
Okay let's see the interests here, um... favorite movies.
Favorite TV shows?
Okay.
I don't watch anything.
Our favorite bands?
Who the hell is King Feenix?
There you go.
Okay, so it's all just blah blah blah boring until tools of the trade...
I remember saving up for that graphics tablet and that mic.
For so long when I was like, I think I was 14 at the time, I must have been?
Like I saved up for months for those things, man.
And then never made a cent off them.
And that's kind of how my YouTube thing began back in the day, actually.
Like... I saw people like PewDiePie, and I knew that I wanted to do YouTube in some respect.
But I didn't... I was too self-conscious to show my face, and I didn't...
Like, I... I come from a big family where there's a lot of noise or not much time. I didn't have a computer.
So I knew I couldn't do that.
So I saw like animators making...
Animations and wanted to do that.
I didn't end up actually doing it, but...
That's how I started off making things when I was a little feeder.
So yeah, there we go a little bit of Slazo history. Let's move on to the...
Minecraft forums.
Oh boy...
Le--lets see what I posted here.
And again, I've got the same Nyan Cat profile picture, which I thought was very epic at the time.
So on March 31st 2012, so I would have been...
11, nearly 12.
I posted:
I remember this was a friend who made a cupcake Minecraft mod.
And I wanted to give him a bit of support, help him out, so I left this comment.
Um...
I was a wholesome kid.
That's beautiful.
That...
You sweet soul, twelve-year-old me.
Wait...
11, nearly twelve year old me, my mistake.
This was like at the beginning of when I was just being introduced to the Internet, and I was an 11 year old kid
who...
Was as white a boy as a white boy can be, like I was... brought up Catholic.
Very um, very...
No swearing, very um, you know straight card little kid.
And uh... I just wanted to be a master builder.
And swearing really terrified me. I was terrified of... of
profanity online. I thought I wasn't allowed to be that.
And I liked this internet thing, but I was really terrified of it.
I like... I just wanted a little... little...
Christian zone of it, you know, I wanted a little...
Ah it's... it's so wholesome.
So this... what?
Does that...
Ah boy...
Would it be um, really great would it?
And that's about it, that's all I ever posted really, so um...
Next.
Okay now next, do you remember that show I mentioned I really liked earlier?
And a show called Good Game Spawn Point which um,
we'll get back to that later.
Well, basically what that was was a... game review show
oriented at kids, it was um...
It was the sh**, I'm not gonna lie, I loved it.
And there was a segment of the show where the viewers could submit their own questions, which the host would then answer.
And I submitted one, and it got on the show.
And let's have a look at it.
Well, let's see when this was first, it was...
26th of May 2012, so I would have been...
just one month over...
12, I would have been 12 years old.
Moving on to this one from Slazo... 567.
YES!
I made it on!
XD
ＹＥＳ！
I got on this show!
And now...
years later, I'm wondering...
Wh--why did I send that question?
I thought...
Okay, I thought I was a comedic genius for thinking of "are you impresses with with my spelling and punctuation?"
Because, guys do you get it?
There's a typo in the sentence.
xd
yEs!
So yes, shout-out Zack and Darcy, some of my oldest friends, who I'm still friends with to this day.
And I'm sure it's thanks to my Good Game Spawn Point question.
Sorry to say Slazo, but the developer of Journey has said flat-out they won't be making a Vita version. So... it does not seem likely.
no ;-;
Guys, this is so sad. Can we get Journey on the PS Vita?
The... the wildly successful PS Vita?
That so many people made games for?
And we are totally impresses with your spelling, and hello Zack and Darcy.
Hello.
Actually, hold on. Let me find the hosts of that.
Um...
Bajo, I follow you.
And is this... is this?
Oh my god, it's right there. Okay, I followed both of you.
There we go, now you two ha--had better shout out Zack and Darcy, or...
You better shout out Zack and Darcy again, or I'm gonna... I'm gonna use some lethal force here.
No, but not gonna lie, that was a very very cool thing for me to see my question on the show.
Even if, looking back years later, I absolutely cringe at the question I asked.
But that was probably the first appearance of the Slazo name that like more than five people actually saw, so...
Thank you Hex and Bajo from Good Game Spawn Point, you...
Legends.
Man, that was nostalgic.
Like that was such a big part of my childhood.
This is a wholesome video, I like this video.
As...
weirdly embarrassing as it is.
Anyway now let's move on a little bit down the timeline to when I was I think
13?
And I made my Tumblr account.
We're going steadily downhill and we're not going up.
Okay, so here I'm Slazo567, I have 256 posts.
None of them are mine, they're all just me reposting, like...
They all just me...
basically doing the Tumblr equivalent of retweeting.
Um.
And it's all just memes.
Okay now this is a good way to have a little window back to my sense of humor from years come and gone.
Let's see.
When someone plays with my hair and there's an owl that's like oh yes, that's... that's.... that's epic.
I remember at this time I really loved...
relatable posts, like...
I think it was my first time seeing that kind of humor.
And it just blew me away, I was like...
*le gasp xd*
Other people like having their hair played with as well!
Who's playing with my hair at that age?
So thank you Lol, That's Me: Post 1091, you made my childhood.
You cannot wish to have more wishes.
I wish I could.
And then...
that's actually not that bad, like...
Well, like that's alright right? Like it... like it's not good, but it's not awful?
It's... decent.
Employees look exactly the same but he still knows and calls all of them by name.
This is probably what like subconsciously inspired that Gru video, oh my god!
Call a girl beautiful a thousand times and she'll never notice.
Call a girl fat once and she'll never forget it.
That's because elephants never for--
No, I never...
I never found this funny guys, okay, don't worry it's just...
It was um... somebody hacked my account and reblogged it.
What are you doing, 13 year old me.
Stop this!
YouTube server for ads:
YouTube server for videos:
I wish it was still like that, it's the exact opposite now.
Um.
You don't know what you've got until it's gone, man.
Okay, well this... like, this is cool, right?
Like, 13 year old me, you knew where it was at, man.
This is... actually genuinely quite impressive to look at.
And thank you memeguy-com for posting this.
When the pizza I ordered finally gets delivered:
Oh, look. He... he he eats it like I eat the pizza when it comes to my door, I get it.
That's awesome.
I don't know why retweeted a Dr. Phil
book meme?
I didn't know who Dr. Phil was, but... sure?
And how come he looked exactly the same?
I guess this is only like... a few years ago. Wow, this isn't that long ago.
And I've changed so much!
And Dr. Phil has changed so little.
Wha--what's happening?
I mean a lot of this isn't that bad, it's just very basic.
It's just very, you know, when I go back to school after a long holiday break
I have no memory of this place.
You know, um...
Why is that picture so tiny?
But I followed the kind of thing that would say...
so much Internet.
Like it was very XD random kind of thing, which I guess was just the comedy of the time, so...
Sure?
But it's...
It's still kind of not good.
Also, I'm seeing a lot of watermarks from memeguy.com. Is that an actual website?
memeguy... ah fu--
memeguy.com
memeguy.com, it's an actual website with about...
eight pictures on it.
Actually when was this? When did I make all these?
Okay here we go, it was...
NANI?!
Oh no.
I was...
It was...
2014 - early 2015.
That's not that long ago, oh my god!
Right, so I would have been...
13 to 14, I would have made this account when I was 13, and then...
Used it...
That's... too recent for comfort.
Anyway now we have got my first video that I ever made, and um...
This is something.
Right, so this would have been around 2014, and around this time, we were beginning to see...
MLG videos, or... montage parodies beginning to trend and...
Get out there and get super popular.
By people like Pyrocynical (and other people I don't recognize)
And I found these incredibly hilarious, although...
In my defense, I was like 14. Pyro was 18.
Um...
He was my age now when he made MLG Teletubbies.
So... as the first video I ever properly made...
I...
*sigh*
It was a school project...
And I made it into a montage parody.
So I'm gonna blur out everyone's faces or the logos and things like that and um,
Enjoy.
Yeah so this was a project for the Chinese subject I used to take
where we just had to make a video where we spoke Chinese in a...
"restaurant setting"
I guess.
So...
Masterfully edited by Michael.
This bit here was just a preset.
No!
Stop!
end me
*noises of agony*
It's... it's not good. It's, um... 14-year old me, making a funny face...
doesn't make you funny.
At least that's something I learned, unlike Lele Pons over here.
I remember this was recorded on my... I think was an iPhone 5, and...
So we have these little speckles here.
Because I think I dropped the phone and and the camera got messed up
so
Yeah
High production.
14 year old slazo is ANGERY
Ah yeah, so...
XD
I just...
I... I wonder what my teacher thought.
I...
Okay, so most of it follows this very very nonsensical
line.
Until about two minutes and 40 seconds in where the video "ends"
But then the rest of it is just "bloopers"
which is just an excuse for me to edit the thing with Doritos, Mountain Dew, and explosions.
And so we got this.
No way. No way. There's more?
What... well what's gonna happen right now?
ɴᴏ ᴡᴀʏ
Typos are always funny.
MLG bloopers!
*the infamous mlg screaming*
Why is it so loud?
*airhorns*
DAMN SON *airhorns*
*bad music*
And there's this Illuminati, illuminati's the meme.
And yeah, there we go, think the creative genius of... of 14-year old Michael Kochanski.
Ladies and gentlemen, me.
And like at the time, I thought this was awesome.
And obviously looking back at it now...
It sucks, it's... it's the worst thing ever. But...
at the time, I thought it was good enough to go and um...
"legally" download Harry Potter and edit that with Doritos and Mountain Dew and then...
Narnia, and then things like that, and then I started making videos with my voice.
And then I did a face reveal, and then I started talking about things on the internet.
And then...
Um, then the rest [is] history, I guess.
Here we are now.
So...
It's... it's been a weird journey I guess, but it's ended up...
wi--with me making a living off the internet.
Which...
I know, it's so weird, man.
I know this is a wei-- This is way more sentimental tha--than I meant for it to be, but...
Wow, like going down memory lane's really made me appreciate how much...
I've grown as a person and...
When you look back at what you used to be like...
Like, it can really put them into perspective in a way. You didn't think...
Was how it...
I don't know man...
Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed this video.
Um...
laughing at... young me.
Um, hopefully...
Hopefully you don't judge me too harshly based on it, um...
Wow, what a weird video.
I... I hope you've enjoyed. As always, social media links for Instagram, Twitter, things like that down below.
And I'll... I'll see you on the next one. I guess. Um...
Peace.
Nice hat.
Who you trying to look like, a secret agent?
DO SOMETHING
Buzz!
*rip*
