PewDiePie built a huge audience on YouTube with energetic Let's Play videos, and his PUBG sessions were a natural fit for that style because the battle royale format constantly produces sudden fights, close calls and comic failures. Short reaction moments from those streams were lifted into meme edits and soundboards, where a one or two second burst could be reused without needing the full match for context. That portability is why the clip still appears in gaming montages, reaction compilations and short-form videos long after the original streams.
