00:00A YouTube star has played the long game and pranked the internet over the course of two
00:04years while secretly losing a huge amount of weight.
00:07Nicholas Perry, better known as Nikocado Avocado, has more than 3.9 million followers on YouTube,
00:14where he is best known for his food content in the specific genre of Mukbang, where he
00:18and others ate excessive amounts of food.
00:21Perry has been making videos on YouTube for more than seven years and when he first started
00:26had a much slender physique, at least compared to his appearance in his penultimate video
00:31shared just three months ago, where he said that he had quit his weight loss journey.
00:35However, Perry was pulling the wool over everyone's eyes and in a new video shared on 7 September
00:41showed off a new look, having apparently shed 17-50 lbs in weight in just a matter of months.
00:48The shocking video, called Two Steps Ahead, which has already had more than 3 million
00:52views at the time of writing, starts with Perry wearing a panda head and while in character,
00:57tells viewers, I am always two steps ahead.
01:00He adds, This has been the greatest social experiment of my entire life.
01:05It's worrying, it's compelling, it's gripping to observe all these unwell, disorientated
01:10beings roam the internet in search of stories, ideas, rivalries where they feel encouraged,
01:15engaged.
01:16Perry continued to say that he had now woken up from a very long dream where he had lost
01:22off his body.
01:23However, in another video, called Hi on a Separate YouTube Channel, Perry, alongside
01:27his pet parrot, has a much friendlier demeanor where he briefly explains how he managed to
01:33pull off his stunt.
01:34Before eating a large plate of spicy cheese noodles, Perry explains that he hasn't made
01:39a video in two years and has simply been sharing old premade content in order to maintain his
01:43channel while working on his health.
01:46Perry's big reveal has since gone viral with many viewers stunned at the twist in the story.
01:51One fan wrote, This feels almost not real, he managed to play us like a violin, this
01:56redemption arc feels surreal.
01:58Another wrote, Nikocado Avocado, you have my utmost respect.
02:02You managed to troll the internet for two years, A third said, This is the most I've
02:07ever smiled watching Nikocado Avocado and I genuinely could not be happier and more
02:12proud of him unironically.
02:14Perry has said that he will now just be posting on his second channel and hinted that he will
02:18be sharing more about his story next week.
