Fans imitating their favorite Creator And said Creator being fully willing to Participate in the joke but Unfortunately all good things must come To an end and as New Year came Charlie Had some unsettling news for the moist Verse by the 2nd of January 2022 Charlie Had decided that the moist verse had run Its course and that it was time for the Meme to be led to rest and now that 2022 Is here I think it's time it finally Gets put to bed let it rest but I Thought it'd be fun to give it like a Viking burial you know where they push a Corpse out onto a lake and then shoot Flaming arrows at it till it blows up so That way they sail in the Valhalla with A smile on their face and a full chub in Their pants and what better way of doing That than a company telling touching Profound and beautiful animation Charlie's attempt to end a trend on a High note was well received by fans with Comments such as they've all returned to Their original timelines to fight cringe In their home worlds as well as Rip Moist verse so glad I got to take part In that thank you Charlie making the Decision to end the meme before it Became irrelevant was logical because Letting it overstate's welcome might Leave a bad taste in the mouths of his Viewers however choosing when and how to End the moist first Saga wasn't up to
Charlie he may have been the one who Spawned the moist verse but he wasn't Going to be the one to end it and on the 3rd of February 2022 Charlie voices Change of perspective on the moist verse I don't claim to be the smartest man in The world though I would put myself Somewhere in the top 10 of that list I'm Prone to making mistakes I'm not perfect I may have the perfect height 5'6 but I'm not infallible and about a month ago I made a goddamn fool of myself publicly I was blind by my hubris and believed That I had the power to close the portal To the moist verse I thought that was Probably where that whole Trend was Going to to fizzle out and die and I'm Always the kind of person that doesn't Really like to see something like Overstay it's welcome it's just always So yucky and sad to see a meme reach Dank status and just get a bit rotten And sour so I wanted the moist verse to Go out on a bang and a high note so I Thought by taking it out to the back of The barn and putting it down it was the Right thing to do but it only seemed to Make it stronger the proliferation of The meme was now out of Charlie's Control new variants sketches and comedy Videos based on the moist Furs continue To surface on YouTube ultimately Charlie Decided it was best to join in on the Fun rather than trying to fight it and
In the coming week Charlie teamed up With fellow creators like Joel Hava Kevin Amarillo and churtley's to create Content inspired by the moist verse Goldhurst meetups Crossovers and create Short comedy videos like the moist Machine and I finally met my family both Of which gained over 4 million views I can't get boners and I'm still Boulding What's that movie with Nicolas Cage That felt so [ __ ] good I'm drilling Harder than Kevin Spacey at Boy Scouts Of America Oh my god [Music] Let's go so how did you guys power up Without the moist chip oh well our AI Actually evolved faster than Charmeleon In the Charizard and twice as epic our AI took over our bodies and now we're All sentient [ __ ] epic the success of The moist verse had a significant impact On Charlie's career and as much rolled Around Charlie would go through another Career defining moment on the 13th of March 2022 the first annual streamer Awards was being held and Charlie was One of the nominees for the best variety Streamer alongside disguised toast Ludwig and Valkyrie since Charlie Couldn't make it to the awards ceremony Himself he thought it'd be better to Give a nut to them waste first by
