Alright, so let’s get the basics out of the way. CallMeCarson, whose real name is Carson King, is a YouTuber, Twitch streamer, and online funny guy who’s been wreaking havoc on the internet since 2012. He first started making a name for himself with a super low-key channel called TheBlueCrewPros (honestly, sounds like a bad 80s band, right?) before rebranding himself as “CallMeCarson” and, well, the rest is history.
His rise was mainly through the classic mix of gaming, meme reviews, and just a ton of banter with his friends. But here’s the thing: CallMeCarson didn’t just get big from gaming content like most of the YouTubers we know. Nah, he found his niche with his hilarious and totally chaotic Discord videos. You know, the ones where everyone sounds like they’re either about to lose their minds or are already lost in the sauce. I mean, if you’ve ever caught a glimpse of him and his friends tearing through Minecraft like it’s a frat party on fire… then you know exactly what I mean.
The Rise: CallMeCarson’s Steady Climb
Carson’s YouTube career wasn’t an overnight thing. Nope, this wasn’t like a TikTok sensation that blew up in a week. This was more like one of those slow burns. CallMeCarson was doing his thing with commentary and gaming content for years, gaining momentum. But then bam—2018 hit. And that’s when everything started going, well, wildly viral.
Here’s the kicker: Carson’s rise was mostly fueled by his crazy Discord banter and Minecraft antics. You see, these videos weren’t super polished. Nope, they had that “raw, just winging it” charm. And I can’t lie—watching a bunch of guys who are way too comfortable with each other scream at a Minecraft block or argue over a stupid joke was hilarious.
The Collabs That Made CallMeCarson
One thing that really set CallMeCarson apart from other gaming creators was his collabs. Seriously. It’s like the internet’s version of the Avengers, but with less spandex and more memes. He teamed up with creators like:
- Jschlatt
- Slimecicle
- Travis (aka traves)
- Ted Nivison
Honestly, the way they bounced off each other was like watching a bunch of really smart, yet chaotic kids who somehow managed to stay friends. And yes, they created some of the best Lunch Club videos ever. If you haven’t seen them… go find them. Like, right now.
CallMeCarson and the Discord Era
Listen, if you know anything about CallMeCarson, you know his Discord videos were what really set him on the map. And, yeah, at first, it looked like a group of friends messing around. But it was more than that. It was like stepping into a virtual room full of chaos that just made sense.
Let me tell you, those Discord conversations were pure comedy gold. I’m talking about the kind of unfiltered chaos you find at 2 AM when the only thing you’re holding together is a can of Monster and your Wi-Fi connection. There was a special magic in those videos, where things went from hilarious to absurd in seconds, and I’m not sure any of it was planned. It was like “who’s on the mic?” “Don’t know. Let’s just roll with it.”
Anyway, here’s the kicker: these videos blew up in 2019. BIG time. That’s when CallMeCarson crossed the 1 million subscriber mark. No going back after that.
The Big Jump: Stats and Milestones
Carson went from “hey, maybe I’ll play some Minecraft” to “I’m pulling in millions of views” in no time. And it wasn’t just his YouTube numbers that were impressive—he was pulling in crazy stats all across the board. By 2020, Carson had:
- 3.5M+ subscribers (a serious flex)
- Videos hitting the millions of views consistently (no joke)
- And let’s not forget his fan-favorite series, Are You Smarter Than a YouTuber? Classic.
But here’s the thing: numbers are cool and all, but it wasn’t just about the views. CallMeCarson was making people laugh. That’s it. Simple. He wasn’t trying to be anything he wasn’t—just a guy who loved memes and games. (Which, like, same?)
Uh-Oh… The Controversy
Okay, this is where the story takes a little detour. Fast forward past three failed attempts to avoid controversy. CallMeCarson got caught up in some serious drama in 2021. Long story short: he was accused of inappropriate behavior in private chats with underage fans.
There was a massive fallout. Sponsors dropped him. People were pissed. He deleted social media posts. And just like that… Carson was silent for months.
It felt like the internet had turned its back on him. And look, I won’t lie—it was a tough spot. The whole situation was… messy. But here’s where I get a little bit soft: people make mistakes. Big mistakes. Carson took his time off, tried to figure things out. And, honestly? He was gone for a while—but he came back. In 2022.
CallMeCarson’s Comeback Tour
Now, 2022. That’s when CallMeCarson returned to YouTube with a video titled “Moving Forward.” And, yeah, the vibes were totally different. Instead of diving into more Discord chaos, Carson came back with a new approach: maturity. And, you know, humility.
It’s not like he came back to make wild content again. He came back to do something a little more chill. A little more… real. And I mean, that’s what impressed a lot of people—myself included.
Sure, it wasn’t the same. He wasn’t the Discord King anymore, and his fanbase? Well, it was a little smaller but way more loyal. And that’s something, right?
Personal Life: What We Know
Behind all the memes and chaos, CallMeCarson is, like, a regular guy. Sort of. He loves gaming (duh), and he’s open about his struggles with mental health—like anxiety and depression. Honestly, as someone who’s been there, it was refreshing to hear a big creator be so open about that stuff.
Carson’s Interests Outside of Gaming
When he’s not online, Carson’s got some pretty normal hobbies. He’s into:
- Cartoons (especially the classic ones)
- Old-school gaming
- Exploring the weirdest corners of the internet (I’m sure he’s got a few meme pages bookmarked)
It’s funny, too, because the man is honestly a big nerd. I mean, aren’t we all?
Bullet Points: The CallMeCarson Highlights
- He started with TheBlueCrewPros but rebranded to CallMeCarson
- Went viral with his chaotic Discord videos
- Rose to 3.5 million subscribers by 2020
- Took a hiatus in 2021 following controversy

CallMeCarson’s Fanbase: A Community Like No Other
Here’s the thing: no matter what happened, Carson’s fans still had his back. Sure, there was a rocky patch. Sure, some people didn’t come back. But there’s a core group that stayed with him. If you ask anyone who’s been around since the beginning, they’ll tell you that CallMeCarson built a community, not just an audience.
You know what they say—weirdos stick together. And Carson’s fans? They’re the weirdest of the weird. But in a good way. (Seriously, though—shoutout to my buddy Doug, who still cracks up at “Y’all mind if I scream?”)
What’s Next for CallMeCarson?
At this point, it’s hard to tell where CallMeCarson is going next. He’s been pretty quiet since his return. But rumor has it he’s been working on some behind-the-scenes stuff. Maybe a new project? Maybe some kind of creative leap that we didn’t see coming?
What’s Cooking in Carson’s Brain?
Honestly? Who knows. But it could be something like:
- Voice acting?
- Big creative projects?
- More of those low-key charity streams?
Whatever it is, I’m excited to see what happens next.
Lessons Learned from CallMeCarson’s Journey
I guess what we can take away from CallMeCarson’s ride through internet fame is that people are complicated. Creators are people. They mess up. They grow. But sometimes, they manage to make a comeback. Carson? He’s trying. And that’s all anyone can really do.
I guess it’s a reminder that online fame is a tricky beast—people will love you one second and turn on you the next. But as long as you own your mistakes and learn from them, you might just pull through.
