Chad Warden Chadwardenn is a YouTube troll character created by a Filipino college student who uploaded a March 2007 vlog arguing the PlayStation 3 beat the Wii and Xbox 360 with absurd, self-contradictory logic. The clip's slang like 'PS Triple' and 'ABAP' turned it into a YTMND and YouTube Poop staple.

Overview

Chad Warden, posting under the username Chadwardenn, is a YouTube troll known for a March 2007 vlog arguing the PlayStation 3 was superior to the Wii and Xbox 360 using absurd, self-contradictory reasoning1. The video's slang-heavy delivery, with terms like 'PS Triple' and 'ABAP,' turned him into a fixture of YTMND and YouTube Poop remix culture, and he later confirmed the whole act was performative trolling rather than sincere fanboyism3.

Most first-time viewers took the rant at face value and reacted with anger, which was part of the joke; seasoned viewers picked up on the exaggerated character work almost immediately1. The clip is one of the earlier examples of straight-faced console-war satire slipping past its own audience.

How It Spread

The video jumped to YTMND within two weeks. On March 26th, 2007, user gravijacrux posted 'Sub bitchez da ps triple be ballin' yo,' the first Chadwardenn site on the platform, and users Lcadwallader and Dunsparce quickly followed with more remixes3.

The slang 'PS Triple' and 'ABAP' seeped into image macros and reaction threads, and the shortened nickname 'Chawa' became a shorthand inside the YTMND crowd4. Chad also picked up a Chewiki entry that November, tying the character into the wider YouTube Poop remix scene alongside sites like 'Chad Wardenn guides you through the PSTriple Temple' and 'What did Chawa say?'3.

How to Use This Meme
