A fan has created an incredible compilation of YouTuber IShowSpeed breaking his online character and it has stunned fans with the rare moments of seeing him laugh.
Online sensation Speed, real name Darren Watkins, has become a viral hit on platforms like TikTok, with his eccentric persona being used in memes and clips.
And IShowSpeed’s popularity has continued to soar after his rivalry with KSI and how he wiped out the famed YouTuber with an ‘incredible’ tackle in the Sidemen charity match last month.

That’s not to mention the 17-year-old Speed striking up a wholesome friendship with YouTuber Mark Goldbridge, who managed the YouTube All Stars in their 8-7 defeat to Sidemen FC.
While Speed continues to build on his well-known reputation, many newcomers have never seen Speed out of character.
Step in YouTuber The Speed Plug, who has produced a compilation of rare moments when Speed dropped his whacky persona during online streams.
And the eye-opening compilation surprised many fans who have watched Speed before, especially when it came to the streaming star laughing.
“He literally forgot his character when his mom came in,” one person wrote.
While another added: “Finally, a video of him breaking character.”
Someone else posted: “I've never seen Speed laugh, EVER.”
And a fourth commented: “Bro, Speed can hold his laughter, bro. If I was him, I would be dying of laughter.”
“It's rare to hear him laugh, nor giggle,” a fifth said.
Having seen the veil lifted on his persona, one fan was quick to suggest that Speed is “actually elite at staying in character.”
Speed’s hilarious rivalry with KSI could extend beyond their encounter in the Sidemen charity match, with the viral YouTube star saying he could beat him in a boxing fight.
When asked who would win in a boxing fight between him and KSI, Speed responded: “KSI is getting his a**e whooped, like this is common knowledge right here.”
Speed also offered his prediction for how a fight with YouTuber-turned-rapper KSI would play out along with comparing himself to boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.
“Round 1 in the first 10 seconds, I'm Floyd Mayweather and he's Pablo Skywalkin [barks],” he said last month.
