The Rollercoaster Rise and Fall of Mini Ladd 

“They’re still playing gmod after all this time??!” Yeah... and they’re still growing faster than you

"I don't want to be known as Vanoss's friend". *_No Craig,_* you will always be known as the guy who used to be friends with Vanoss.

My favorite clip of Mini ended up being a foreshadowing. “Once there was a man, his name… was Pablo. Pablo was not a very good man, he liked to… have sex with small children” The quote from Craig ended up going from a joke to reality in just a few years.

I’m glad Evan, Brian, Nogla, and some of the crew keep throwing shade at him recently. Brian and Nogla even made their own meme stream

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation, and 5 minutes to ruin it” I don’t know who said that, but it fits perfectly.

Remember 2 things that led to mini ladd’s demise: 1. It all began when he excluded Terroriser from a dinner event with the crew all because he was too much of a coward to not tell Terroriser to stop making a single joke towards him 2. He showed his mini ladd to his mini lads

"Use Mini Ladd as an example, you don't get away with anything, ever." holy fuck that was an insane line, kudos to you sunny

Miniladd: THEY TALK SH*T ABOUT OTHER RU-vidRS! Also Miniladd: Continues to talk sh*t on a group that literally built his career.

“Rubbed a lot of his fans the wrong way” He tried to.

"I don't want to be known as Vannoss' friend" Which one's worse Craig, being "Vannoss' friend" or "Mini Ladd likes Mini Lads"

Mini was dead to me after the way he treated Brian. Brian had been nothing but nice to him and didn't even want the situation to become what it did and Mini just kept screwing them over. I don't watch much of the Vanoss Crew or Brian anymore but they will always have a place in my heart as some of the first youtubers I watched.

So glad Mini had, "time to reflect on his decisions" while his victims had to endure everything he did to them, and then the mental damage that's caused after the fact. Grooming minors isn't something you reflect on, it's something you should go to prison for.

Let’s be honest Miniladd deserved his rise and deserves his fall. Everything that came his way is his fault. His success is to his credit his fault as well.

as his sub count got higher so did his voices pitch

Mini Ladd and SkyDoesMinecraft were my childhood and I've learned one thing...don't idolize guys with neckbeards.

Call me Kevin is still growing and staying true to himself. RT, Spiffing Brit, Call me Kevin and Jack are the few I have watched for years that keep growing and doing great. (Mark as well)

Funny how Mini Ladd got inspired by CallMeKevin, but Kevin is now friends with Nogla and Terroriser.

"He rubbed a lot of his fans the wrong way" He sure did

It honestly saddens me to see how far Craig has fallen, I have very fond memories of his time with the Vanoss crew and heard when he left from my brother, I just never expected him to essentially beg for clout and commit such heinous crimes.

It's kind of depressing because you can almost see how the fame had gotten to him. Especially since he was pushing away support with friends you see how it ends up super intense for him by himself

who remembers back in the day mini ladd would have an alter ego character he’d play as a joke “pablo the kiddie fiddler”. bit awkward now

“They’re still playing GMOD after all this time?” Makes hundreds of meme review videos

What's bizarre about Craig is that he handled the first backlash so poorly, he could've said that he doesn't like playing Gmod anymore but instead decided to lobotomise himself and shaded everyone.

Craig had every possible chance to fix all the mistakes he made and somehow missed the mark on all of them, a simple apology and taking account for what you did isn't gonna kill you or end the world, that just shows you're a human under there still. But Craig didn't do any of that and he's nothing but a hollow shell.

I guess his “Pablo” joke wasn’t far off from his real personality

Did not expect my name to pop up here. Great content dude, watched a few of your videos already and the quality is top notch. I imagine you put a huge amount of time into these and it shows!

I have no clue who 90% of the RU-vidrs you document are but watching their rises and falls is still fascinating

Thank you for doing these, you cover everybody, 100% fairly and accurately with no bias. I know I’m gonna get an honest cover here and that’s priceless.

He does realize that if and when his channels fall, sunny has to do a downfall video on himself. It’s his destiny

Mini Ladd: *tries to lie to people and act like a good guy Terrorizer: nope

I used to really like Craig. Hearing about what he'd done. And how he'd abused his power broke my heart. I feel bad for his mates too, most of the folk he did videos with in Vanoss' circle were decent people and they must have been really saddened to find out what Craig was doing behind closed doors.

Just wanna say I love your channel, 99.999% of the time if there is something that I find about some sort of drama on the internet, and I try dig deeper, youre always there. Entertaning and informative. Keep it up

He's the embodiment of the saying: *You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain*

One thing you forgot to mention was when Craig didnt invite Terroriser to a Vanoss Crew Meet-up just because he got butthurt by a joke Brian had made about him. Edit: Some new information came out that it had nothing to do with Craig's car accident. My bad.

“For those of you that don’t understand wtf is going on. Mini laddd sent his mini Laddd to his mini fans.” 😂😂 21:06

Really the lesson is this: As a content creator, EVERYTHING you do will be looked at under a microscope. The separation between your personal drama and your online community is slim to none. You can’t afford mistakes. In most professions you can take off the uniform and go back to doing you after you clock out, as a content creator, YOU are the product.

I swear like in 10 years there's gonna be videos like "where's mini ladd now?"

I feel bad for vannoss, nogla, delirious, panda, wildcat, basically, olm, terrorizor(brian) especially, and anyone else I may be missing. They all saw mini as a friend when really he was a foe, not just to them, but to everyone. I'd feel betrayed if I was them.

i like how each piece of music from the different cod games also reflects what is happening and the intensity

this whole video made me think of that quote from the end of Chernoble, " Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth, sooner or later that debt is paid". This sucked to find out because when I was a kid I would watch a boatload of mini ladd, loved the guy. Literally learned this all TODAY because I watched a comp of the crew making jokes about him and Ohm.

Never realized how much he’s changed from how he was when with Vanoss and the crew. He was having such a good time with them and was so bright and cheery, then just almost immediately suffered problems when he broke apart from them and though he tried his best, it wasn’t the same. I miss the fun and laughter he brought to the table when I was younger, and I do not believe he is ALL outright a bad person since he did charity streams and that’s saying something (unless he pocketed some of that money somehow, even if it’s a little that’s a discrepancy still in my books). But what he did at the end of the day is unacceptable, and though it’s sad for me personally to see that this is the end of that one iconic cheerful and enjoyable guy from my past, he brought it upon himself, and by not fully taking responsibility in his apology video and uploading content as if nothing happened right afterward (deleting his tattoo reaction video because of bad comments towards him may I add), he has spoken he as of the moment boasts little concern over the inquiry he was involved in and concealed from his fans for so long. And if anything I guess he play the mental issue card again in the future should he be questioned by it. Thank you for showing us Sunny.

He really tried to blame it on mental health and go the Katerino way out. It’s honestly sad, I used to love watching him a few years back.

Just discovered this channel so far it’s a awesome drive to anywhere to listen to

I like how the beginning montage shows that over the years his left eye has been trying to escape his face.

Ahh flashbacks of my childhood with Vanoss Crew. Good times

Kind of related but am I the only one who thinks creators don't owe their fans anything. Like I see fans angry if a creator goes on hiatus, such as coreyxkenshin, but in my opinion they are just creators and can leave at any time if they want to.

Im so glad i subbed to you. I saw a clip on TheDooos channel featuring Terrorisor and Nogla, and there was a joke about him, so i wanted to learn myself and here you are, goated with the sauce. 10 months ago. Hell yeah. Edit: two years ago. Hell yeah.

I love how the vibe of this video goes from "lmao he's short" to actual criminal behaviour

It's so trippy hearing Mini through the ages....why does he sound like he's going through Anti-Puberty, the older he gets the more higher and squeeker his voice becomes x.x

I remember gotten into a lobby back in black ops 2 and i saw miniladd, crazy how this guy went downhill after leaving the gang and got into trouble

Bro this is very well done as always sunny but it truly is sad because he could’ve been the yin to terrorizer or wildcats yang but he got affected by I’m a celeb it’s okay to do whatever I want to do

Damn the whole "internet is is judge, jury, and the executioner" thing hit me in a different way. This dude did a horrible crime and his punishment is his careers death

It kinda sucks how these people ruin their own life, it’s like Shane Dawson

Great video man! Love the music and the direction the video took!

Now he’s at 4.7 million subs. Dude should be off the internet

Back then I never understood why he called himself "Mini ladd" Now it's all coming together.

The terroriser should have more subs than mini ladd, he makes better content and overall is a better person and a better friend

That little snippet of Ray William Johnson brought me back to a more simple time where all I needed was RWJ, Angry Black Man rants, and funny Mortal Kombat fatality videos.

I don't know who any of these people are, but I find these videos fascinating.

I know him more by the Vanoss' Crew but I feel sad when he say nonsense or bad things on the crew. He grew up on the crew yet talk bad things to the crew. You can see the differences when he left, he just ruined himself and now the downfall is visible. It's... it's just depressing because as a long term fan of the crew I or we can also feel that same thing. There is a point where Brian/The Terroriser is asked about Miniladd, he cried because they are friends but suddenly Miniladd ruined that friendship. But that badmouths resulted in karma that he deserved.

It's so disappointing growing up and watching a youtube channel and then seeing them do I incredibly stupid and damaging things to themselves and others. Honestly it's only a matter of time just like with lion maker until his channel is terminated. Everyone loves you and then you do something real stupid.

This guy is really good and does his research give this guy a gold medal or something

For those who do not understand, Mini-lad sent his mini-lad to his mini-fans.

It feels terrible watching Brian doing his best to defend himself and not bash mini While mini lad just dragged them every chance he got

I wonder if IHasCupcake regrets ever giving him a shoutout in hindsight?

As soon as u said mini lad I had a massive nostalgic travel back when I kept hearing his name from watching Vanos it hit quite hard, he looks so different u can’t recognise him when u didn’t see him change.

My heart goes out to the victims.

Use to respect Craig till I heard about what he did to those girls. He needs to actually I mean actually admit what he did instead of hiding and continuing to hide. I like to know what the rest of his former colleagues think of him especially Brian being the guy that Craig threw under the bus a lot.

"They still play Gmod?" -Mini "I like kids" Ladd

Mini Ladd has touched us all in our lives, be it emotionally or physically

I do think there was a hint of anger toward Vanoss's group and its members, I recall one Mario Kart video where Smitty screwed him up in a race and you just hear Mini scream in rage because he was, I think in either 3rd or 4th place before getting knocked straight into last which I recall he then got up and just walked away from the camera for a while, so maybe that's where the anger is coming from that the group would regularly bully Mini to the point he just couldn't keep it in anymore and just left after that.

I noticed you mentioned “I has cupquake”, my sisters used to watch her all the time, she has about 5 million subs yet her newest video only has 17k views. Can you do a video of her downfall; I’m really curious because I don’t think she has done anything wrong.

I used to love his videos, but when he abandoned the 'Vanoss crew' he just grew boring and then irritating, then I realised he always jumps to the victim role, which made him lose the last little bit of respect I had for him. And I had no idea about the underage girls until I watched this video

Man it's so sad to a creator like this fall. Having spent years uploading videos, finding a way to make it work, making a great living, being able to leverage a platform to not have to go to regular job working for pennies... and then screwing up because you made a couple ridiculous decisions about stuff that's really petty. Life lessons to learn here, as always Sunny thx for creating this

This was one of your best videos! You just got a new sub!

dude i’m a sophomore in college, watched him a lot in high school. the cards against humanity mario kart and customs zombies were my fav. can never watch this mans again smh

Nobody: Someone: *exposes miniladd* MiniLadd: i haVe mEntAl iSsUeS!

"I got a lot of backlash from talking about someones mental health issues, so here we go" *Begins to call him pathetic for coming out about his mental issues and why he needed a break*

Imagine the irony if sunnyv2 in the future have to make a roller-coaster video about his own channel.... It would turn full circle.

Mini got the solo career he wanted as nobody wants to collaborate with him anymore. Hope he's happy with it.

This guy should narrate action books. His voice when he says "Judge, Jury, Executioner", is just like....damn man.

I love that you’re using Call of Duty: WaW music during the downfall section 😂

i didn’t have the heart to watch this because i feel scared- but now that i watched this video, although i don’t watch mini ladd, i feel upset

He's sounded so much more Northern Irish when he started. Definitely lost the accent along with his dignity over time

Mini: "I don't want to be known as Vanoss' friend." Okay, should we name you Judas or Pablo?

its been years but with all due respect depression is a valid excuse for your work not being your best work. its debilitating and you lose all motivation, so its hard enough to even bring yourself to do any work. edit: mini ladd is exempt from this validity bc he is mini ladd.

when I was a kid, i watched Vanoss, then took a break and explored other content and I come back to this

A genius once said: "MiniLadd touches us both emotionally and physically"

I still feel bad for Brian. Every clip, it’s like he’s in a state of depression and sadness. Probably is since he got hurt the most.

This particular channel was a huge deal to me. I used to watch him a lot, usually alongside other Vanoss crew members. I loved watching meme streams and seeing his reaction to certain funny or annoying videos. Then one day I open his new video and see more than half of the dislike bar being grey. My heart dropped immediately. I didn't get it at first since I never go on any social media or anything, and there was nothing that bad in the video itself, like it wasn't anything to the PewDiePie level of fuckup. I went to the comment section and got even more confused. Everyone kept roasting him for making some sort of big mistake and not mentioning it. After a bit of Googling I found out the news. I won't even go into the moral side of the question, I'll just say I unsubscribed and blocked his channel immediately. That whole story is really sad to me.

2023 update: Bro is barely surviving. None of his more recent videos even hit the 6 digit mark anymore. Hopefully he takes the hint and leaves. permanently.

I’m only here to appreciate the editing! Well done sir 👍🏼

I like how mini said he wanted to be a solo channel but went to the misfits like right after leaving the vanoss crew

The mini Ladd downfall bit and World at Wars Seelow heights theme was a great choice for music

A shout out to CallMeKevin 😌 The most wholesome RU-vidr who is simultaneously incredibly chaotic

I watched him as a kid everyday and I'm so disappointed at what he has become.

You know the funniest thing about all of this? His face is so well known. He will never know peace ever again.

I used to stay up watching Vanoss with the whole squad and watching this now is sad how things turn out

you're the only RU-vidr I could be watching documentaries and staying interest.

"I don't wanna be known as Vanoss's friend." 'Got your, wish, Craig....
