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.
