this month in caddicarus history
 

This is an archive for the "This Month In Caddicarus History" section on the homepage. Not all the months are done yet - I started this back in July. When all the months are done, I'll compile them into a section for an exhaustive Caddicarus timeline. Months in pink are very notable months in Caddicarus history that changed the course of how the channel operated from that point on.

Please note that I will not be able to recall super specific details from 2012 to July 2014 - because I wasn't watching yet. I gathered broad info from that period just from looking back at the channel's history - I didn't firsthand experience it. I may also miss some very small things from March 2019 to August 2022, although I'd say I was able to catch up with the channel pretty well when I returned in September 2022.


January 2013…On the 8th, the now-privated 10,000 subscribers video was uploaded. Season 2 began with Top 10 Most Depressing Games on the 13th and The Simpsons Skateboarding on the 27th. Finally on the 31st, Jim and Rosie found out something suggestive about their Wiimote.

January 2014…On January 5th, the Caddy’s Retrospectives series on Oddworld began and aired throughout the month.

January 2015…The first video of the year was a Current Quickies on the top 10 games of 2014, in which the London Cockney host’s name is officially revealed to be Quick J. Hoarsethroat. The Sly Cooper retrospective began on January 18th.

January 2016…Season 5 – and the golden age of Caddicarus as a whole - finished off with Blossom Blast and Top 10 Glitches in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 on January 17th and 31st respectively. Tinker Time aired its final episode on January 24th, which focused on Kero Blaster. As for The Puppicarus Show, it ended after four episodes on January 23rd, after many fans complained about its quality.

January 2017…Caddy moved to the now-iconic current house. To clean up his channel for 2017, he cancelled Current Quickies as he was getting tired of its formulaic nature. This show would be replaced by The Caddy Show, which operated as a show for not only modern game reviews, but also drum covers, rants and discussions, shitposts, and more. As for The Caddicarus Show, all Top 10 videos (except for the Top 20 on E3 2014) were officially consolidated into the series playlist, and the Hidden Block announcement and Mr. YouTube videos were removed from it, making The Creepy Doll the 100th episode and Bubsy 3D no longer the 50th episode. Season 8 began with Ape Escape and The Tweenies on the 22nd and 29th respectively.

January 2018The Caddicarus Show was officially split into seasons, with compilations of the first 9 being uploaded throughout the month. Season 10 began with SpongeBob SquareBob SuperBob on January 28th.

January 2019The Caddy Show’s final review episodes on Kingdom Hearts aired to start out the year. Season 12 began with The PlayStation Classic on January 19th - which was the debut of the goblin shirtless Caddy character that would appear at the beginning of every year afterward - and the PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale episode – a collab with Scott the Woz – aired on the 26th.

January 2020…Caddy attended Magfest 2020, which was originally intended to be his final convention appearance before quitting YouTube due to his channel plummeting. On January 28th, he posted a mainline Caddicarus episode exploring some of the worst games on the PS4 store – a departure from the formulas and serious reviews that persisted (or plagued, based on your viewpoint) in the most recent seasons of the series. This video was meant to be the final mainline Caddicarus episode, and it would serve as a thanks to the fans for watching. Suddenly, views and engagement for the channel skyrocketed. With this rejuvenation and regaining of people’s interest in the channel, the iconic, bombastic powerhouse that is known as The Caddicarus Show’s reboot was born.

January 2021…The PC building saga began on Caddy’s twitter.

January 2022…Caddy stars on The Alizee Yeezy Show. After the filming of the episode, he came down with a nasty case of hives.

February 2016…The Caddicarus channel’s very first major retool occurred. After months of fans being confused about the multitude of side-shows causing Caddy to lose focus on The Caddicarus Show, as well as the Puppicarus incident bringing a great deal of negativity to the community, Caddy decided to rebrand. On February 10th, he uploaded an update video detailing what was happening with the channel – Caddy’s Retrospectives, Tinker Time, Drive Thru Reviews, and every other side show was cancelled. Beginning with the Season 6 premiere, and what used to be the 50th episode – Bubsy 3D – on the 14th, Caddicarus would air every single Sunday, bringing the focus back to the show that everyone subscribed for. Current Quickies would become a weekly series, airing on Wednesdays, and Caddy’s Film Fridays was introduced on February 19th. This rebrand also saw the (official) debut of Endigo’s Caddicarus 8-bit theme, after it was used on The Puppicarus Show. The VIP episode – a collab with Scarfulhu – and Star Wars Rebel Assault 2 aired on February 21st and 28th respectively.

February 2019…The episodes Resident Evil 2 Remake, Kingdom Hearts 3, and Top 10 WORST US PlayStation Box Arts were released on the 3rd, 17th, and 23rd respectively. The Kingdom Hearts 3 episode in particular was notable for being the longest Caddicarus episode at the time upon release.

February 2020The Wonderful World of PS1 Demo Discs was released on the 19th.

April 2018…As April Fools’ Day fell on a Sunday, Caddy took this opportunity to do the much-too-overdone “I’m quitting” joke with his video “the last episode ever,” in which he read an email that lambasted his 2013 Tomb Raider review. A misspelling in the email led to the creation of the “Breats” in-joke. Through the rest of the month, Bug’s Life the Dragon, Spyro Orange: The SHIT Game Conspiracy, 10 MORE UNPOPULAR GAMING OPINIONS, and Aladdin: Jaffa Cake’s Sister is Pissed Off premiered on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th respectively. The gaming opinions episode was particularly infamous for revealing a completely bald Caddicarus for the first time ever…and I mean a clean bald head, no hair to be found.

May 2019…This was one of the more taxing and puzzling months in Caddicarus history, so buckle up. On May 6th, Caddy released an update video that talked about new Patreon tiers, using social media more often, experimental Caddicarus episodes, and the introduction of a new film review series. A sponsored video for PUBG Mobile released the day after the update video to mixed reactions from the audience. As for the film review series, only one episode was released, which covered Detective Pikachu. The video was less than a minute long, quickly thrown together in iMovie, and was taken down after a few days. It is now considered lost media. The channel in general suffered a whole bunch in May 2019, only gaining 300 subscribers. There was a stressful transition to another ad network that rendered all the videos demonetized for a while. As for the Caddicarus episodes that were released this month, Team Sonic Racing DESTROYS Friendships, A Banned PS1 Game, and Borderlands 3 Made Me Wee released on May 11th, 23rd, and 30th respectively.

June 2014…The Max Payne retrospective continued on June 1st and 15th. The third part in particular was significant for featuring the debut of Caddy’s buzzcut. Originally meant to be a one-off gag, Caddy actually enjoyed the hairstyle and he kept it until late 2015 when he got his mohawk.

June 2015…The Gex retrospective continued through this month, with Caddy producing episodes for DYKG’s Easter Egg Hunting in-between. Near his 21st birthday, he got his Oddworld hand tattoos, which were first seen in a birthday vine which is unfortunately now lost to time. You have to had been a big Caddicarus fan at the time to get my obscure “BACON SANDWICHES IN THE BATHROOM” references. A couple days after his birthday, he uploaded an update video which is also now lost to time where he announced that he was moving in with Cerys and the kids. He discussed the possibility of starting a Friday series, with ideas ranging from interviewing the kids to doing movie reviews (proof here. Video is lost unfortunately).

June 2016…Parts 1 and 2 My Top 20 PS2 Games were uploaded on June 5th and 12th. CRINGING AT MY FIRST VIDEO was uploaded on June 19th in celebration of Caddy’s 22nd birthday. On the early hours of that day in Caddy’s time zone, he reached 500,000 subscibers as a result of a strange side-wide increase in sub rates through the past week. The channel was still at 500k when the subscriber special and season 6 finale 66 Net Yaroze Games was released on the 26th, but two days later, an infamous YouTube sub purge occurred, bringing the channel back down below 500k. It took until September for the channel to reach the milestone again.

June 2021…While fans were waiting for the Bandicoot Month video to release, Caddy began his particularly infamous stream series of Crash Bash.

June 2022Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex was streamed this month for Bandicoot Month. The proper Bandicoot Month video was meant to be uploaded at the end of the month, but was once again delayed to July due to Caddy grating his knuckle off with a cheese grater. Never change, Lazarus.

The episode on Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back released, along with the first episodes on magazines - namely the 110% Gaming and Peppa Pig magazines. These subtle changes in the formula put the original Caddicarus Show on a very experimental path for the rest of its life, until it was eventually rebooted in 2020 into the long-form insanity we know and love today.

August 2019...The infamous now-unlisted rant series began with the two videos on CTR Nitro Fueled microtransactions, which ironically gained more traction than the traditional Caddicarus episodes being produced at the time. Season 13 premiered on the 29th with the episode on the Thomas PS1 game - this was the first Caddicarus episode to be filmed at 60 frames per second, and was filmed with the first new camera since 2012. Not only was it also the first Caddicarus episode to feature an entertaining sponsor segment in the middle of the video, but it was also filmed at a totally new angle in the living room - the spot which would one day become iconic.
