Zerrian Perry (born: March 16, 2010), (better known online as AwesomeSponge, SpongeDude17, SpongeDudeYT, Xreklsmx, Zeremx or just Sponge Dude) is an American YouTuber who is best known for uploading various types of SpongeBob content, his channel consisted of posting clips from episodes, and making YouTube Poops.
His most popular video was the comparisons of the intros to the two SpongeBob Christmas specials (Christmas Who & It's A SpongeBob Christmas) which reached over 400,000 views. Shortly after, the channel started gaining subscribers frequently, on May 7, 2022 the channel reached 1,000 subscribers.
The channel was terminated on July 28, 2022 for violating Google's terms of service. Shortly after, he moved to his other channel (AwesomeSponge 2.0) and started uploading there. In March 2023, he lost the password to the account, which eventually led to him to start uploading more on his current channel, Zeremx, where he mostly uploads random content and does live streams.
He has made multiple channels throughout his time on YouTube, including some that were even reuploading content from other YouTubers.
History[]
He posted his first video on YouTube on September 29, 2019 on his first channel with the video titled SpongeBob s birthday party.[[1]] A few days later on October 5, 2019, he then created a new channel, the channel mostly consisted of him uploading any type of random content. This would continue for a while until he decided to start taking YouTube a little more seriously, he frequently started to make plush videos mostly inspired by SML and CrazyMarioBros. He also made multiple series, the most popular of the channel was his Sonic Plushies series, which featured him playing with toys of Sonic the Hedgehog characters. He would sometimes upload full episodes of SpongeBob to the channel, which were new episodes that weren't released in the United States yet. The most popular video on the entire channel was an upload of the episode "Knock Knock, Who's There?" which had over 100,000 views before being taken down by Viacom. The channel eventually reached over 500 subscribers later in 2021. There were many deleted (or privated) videos prior to the channel's deletion, probably because he realized how dumb they were.
cyberbullies and channel deletion[]
On March 23, 2021, he would frequently start getting into drama with cyberbullies for defending his (at the time) online friend Nathan Paul (who also made Sonic plush videos) he even made some videos telling the cyberbullies to go away, with him filming a diss track type video with his Sonic plush. This continued for a few months until eventually he made the decision to make another channel entirely, which led to the creation of AwesomeSponge. He still tried uploading on his main channel frequently. During the summer, he started a series of livestreams using the Streamyard app with the Sonic plush characters. But during one live stream, he got into some drama with Nathan Paul and his other friend. Since he didn't want to deal with the stress of hate videos, he made the decision to delete the entire channel on September 5, 2021, but he did revive it shortly after.
