Alpha Betas is a 2021 cartoon created by Chris Bruno & David Lee, produced by 3BLACKDOT and Bush House, and starring Evan Fong, Tyler Wine, Brian Hanby and Marcel Cunningham as the four main characters. Evan, Tyler, Brian and Marcel also serving as executive producers.
On February 11, 2021, Evan posted Alpha Betas - Official Trailer, hyping up the upcoming show for a March 13th pilot premiere.[4] The pilot episode aired gaining millions of views within the first few days. While Alpha Betas had offers from "a bunch" of different networks, none of them gave the team the creative freedom that they knew the viewers wanted. A Kickstarter was created on July 20, 2021 to help with the funding that would go into creating the adult animated series, with a goal of $750,000.[5]
Collaborations[]
Brian is friends with many fellow content creators, such as VanossGaming, H2ODelirious, I AM WILDCAT, Daithi De Nogla, Jacksepticeye, and others.
Music[]
Brian owns a soundboard as of early 2019 and has frequently used it to save sound clips of his friends saying funny things or make weird noises. In the video, Brian recorded Nogla saying the now famous phrase "Shave My Balls". It was used in 2 following videos as well, taking an enormous amount of fame.[6]
Brian explained on Twitch and on Twitter how he was planning on changing the lay-out of several things such as his merch design as well as making a new outro. The new outro - a short jingle of the famous phrase along with some other sound clips - was first used on April 10, 2019 in the video NOGLA IS STUCK IN THIS GLITCH! (Human Fall Flat Funny Moments).[7]
On April 25, 2019 he tweeted. The tweet reached 10.000 retweets in a very short amount of time considering the full version was released just a day after the tweet.[8]
On April 28, just 2 days after the release - it reached #4 on Best Selling Charts in iTunes.
On November 10, Brian released a new soundboard song in the video Modern Warfare Game Chat RAGE SONG REMIX: “Get Pooped On, Trump!”. The song is a compilation of quotes that happened in game after someone was killed and very upset about it in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4's Battle Royale modus Blackout and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer mode - where the infamous quote and part of the title "Get Pooped On, Dude" comes from originally. It's currently unavailable on streaming services and it's uncertain if Brian will release it or not like he did with "Shave My Balls".[9]
In-fandom Jokes/gags[]
In a video titled COD Zombies Funny Moments - Terroriser's Mcdonalds Internet!, while Vanoss, Nogla, and Terroriser are playing Call of Duty, it is shown that Brian was experiencing internet issues while playing in that specific session. The internet issues were compared to that of the Wi-Fi at a McDonald's restaurant. This, in turn, caused connection issues, irritating Nogla. Nogla then jokingly tells Brian to fix his McDonald's internet, much to Vanoss' amusement. At that time, Brian was not able to understand what was going on because of his internet issues. Because of this, it was unclear whether Brian was really using McDonald's internet during that session.[10]
The joke has since become a staple in both the VanossGaming and Terroriser community. The most notable references include when Vanoss sent Christmas presents to Brian, in which one of those presents was a McDonald's soda cup with a W-LAN cable in it. Another reference was in a Golf It video, in which Brian was late because he was getting McDonald's. Vanoss then jokes that he was actually fixing his internet, to which Brian immediately leaves.[11][12]
In a vlog where Nogla treats Brian to McDonald's, he explains what really happened in that gaming session.[13] At the time, his YouTube studio was located in someone else's shed, which they converted into a one-bedroom studio. Because the shed had no wi-fi, he had to use the house's wi-fi in order to make his videos and play games with his friends. During the COD session, a storm hit the area, which knocked out the wi-fi in the house, which explains why he was lagging so badly in that particular session. It wasn't until he watches Vanoss' video that he realized what really happened. He also mentions this again in the third episode of WILDCAT's WILDCAST.[14]
Controversies[]
Feud with Mini Ladd[]
During Brian's Minecraft stream on YouTube called "Mine-Cracked Out of my Mind! Diamond Hunting :D (Minecraft Livestream #3)"[15] he was asked why they don't play with Mini anymore.
Craig and Brian both prefer to keep this private. From the look of things, it is unlikely that they will play together again. Additionally, the two were nominees for "Content Creator of the Year" for the Esports awards, though the two didn't see each other as Brian was too ill to go.[16]
Feud with Ohmwrecker[]
On July 1, 2020, YouTuber Ohmwrecker claimed on Twitter/X that Terroriser knew about Mini Ladd sending inappropriate messages to minors. The tweet said, "These guys will come at me like this on my birthday, even Terroriser sitting there talking shit about the pope for not addressing abuses in the church, but they won't say a word about Lui or Mini's accusation. Nope. Still have them admin'd on Discord and everything."[17]
Terroriser responded to the tweet on a live stream, saying that he had no knowledge on the things that were happening with Mini Ladd.[18] Ohm then responded to Brian on Twitter, saying, "This does not make any claim about Brian know. This addressed his stream just days prior, and how he had nothing to say about the group allegations against Mini and Lui. Again, he made it up, or is misremembering or spinning this tweet in a way that is clearly dishonest."[19]
Personal Life[]
Brian was a Subway employee at one point. He left College to progress with YouTube on a full-time basis.[20]
Brian began dating Twitch streamer Lanai Gara, aka MsVixen in 2015.[21]
