Uhhh no it didn't. It started as a stream highlights channel. in fact he had uploaded almost a 100 videos before his first "Shit Lewis Says" video. Edit: Just counted, his first "Shit Lewis Says" video was the 96th video he uploaded.
I used to think of myself as a Simon fan, but ever since his 8 month break he never fully came back.... luckily Lewis only became funnier and funnier ever since, as evident in this compilation!
Half way into this video my grandma walked into my room. I paused it for a few seconds while she was in the room and as she left she read the title of the video. Outloud she read, "Lewis Unleashed" and thought that I was watching porn. She told me to clean up after myself. I Never laughed that hard in my life. :)
