Spanish streamer TheGrefg is one of the biggest stars on Twitch, so much so that he recently hosted his own awards show, which almost drew two million viewers. And everyone who watched was treated to a big ol’ ASCII penis for a moment.
First some background. TheGrefg has nearly 20 million YouTube subscribers. Over 11 million Twitch followers. Even if you don’t know who he is because he doesn’t speak your language, the guy is one of the most popular streamers in the world; We wrote about him in 2021 when he “broke the all-time Twitch viewership record
For years, Twitch’s record for most concurrent viewers on a single streamer’s channel has been hotly contested, with streamers outdoing each other in slowly growing increments. Today however Spanish streamer TheGrefg made everyone else look like they were wrestling for discarded peanut shells. At the time of writing, it reached almost 2.5 million – a new all-time record, beating not just individual channels but entire games.
The event we’re talking about today – it’s called Premios ESLAND – is actually the second year in a row he’s been able to host his own awards show specifically for Spanish speaking streamers, streaming and related events/stunts. And it’s quickly become a huge event; This year’s show attracted 1.75 million viewers, and that’s not counting viewers who watched it live.
Look at this crowd! This is Mexico’s famous Auditorio Nacional, and TheGrefg grabbed it for the show:

Anyway, since this is his second time directing one of these shows — and that he lives on the internet — you’d think he or his producers would know not to switch to live chat on the big screen on stage. Yet this year he did just that, and as you can see in the video below, he regretted it about as fast as a human can register the sensation:
