After PewDiePie uploads a vlog, he finds his most recent video to be surprisingly unwatched. Soon after, a barrel tries to attack him unsuccessfully. He finds CutiePieMarzia and the pugs, Edgar and Maya, and the keys to the car. Just before he leaves with the pugs, the Barrel King announces that PewDiePie's fans have been captured in order to find out about the Legendary Brofist, of which he has no memory. Immediately, he leaves, while Marzia goes back into bed to continue eating snacks.

Just as PewDiePie drives into the highway, General Barrel appears behind him in a tank. PewDiePie manages to evade him temporarily, before being cornered on a truck. However, Markiplier picks him up on his stealth jet, but due to the cost of jet fuel, PewDiePie is left on a smaller plane. General Barrel attacks again with his flying tank, but is killed in the scuffle. PewDiePie is forced to head to the North Pole, following the dying words of General Barrel.

At the North Pole, PewDiePie finds Shannon, a female shark and fangirl, and rescues her from the barrels. Soon after, he meets CinnamonToastKen on top of a steep cliff which PewDiePie is unable to climb. PewDiePie takes Stephano, a small talking golden statue, from his pocket and uses him as a grappling hook to climb up, but leaves him behind. In a cave, he meets Generoll Barrel, the brother of General Barrel, who had heard of his death by PewDiePie, but is defeated by the help of CinnamonToastKen's smelling senses. Just before he dies, Generoll Barrel contacts Barrel King about his defeat, who, in reply, hires an unnamed mercenary. CinnamonToastKen then stays behind to ensure PewDiePie is not being followed.

After PewDiePie ventures further, he frees Jacksepticeye from a failed trap meant for PewDiePie. In return, Jacksepticeye leads him out with the help of his "eye", his pet that can shoot lasers, and to Africa, the location of the Barrel King's base. They find the exit blocked by Jennifer, a talking female rock and obsessed fangirl, who is moved by the eye. At the exit, Jacksepticeye stays behind to ensure PewDiePie is not being followed, to PewDiePie's dismay. He exits to the mystic forests of Transylvania, and is picked up by Markiplier again after being called, by a helicopter, which Markiplier got as a package deal with the stealth jet.

Markiplier then drops off PewDiePie at Africa. After a long journey by rhino stampede, he eventually finds out that the hired mercenary is FalconLover, a lesser-known YouTuber and anthropomorphic giraffe. After being defeated, he confesses that he just wanted to be noticed, and he tells PewDiePie to download an app called "UFOGO" in order to get to the Barrel base. After being picked up by a UFO, he finds Cryaotic, a fellow YouTuber. Soon after, they are both teleported at the Moon. They both share their feelings for each other, and are about to kiss, until Marzia reveals to know what's going on. Embarrassed, Cryaotic leaves, to PewDiePie's dismay.

He then finds the secret base of the Barrel King, along with his captured fans. The Barrel King is defeated in a final showdown between him and PewDiePie, and the fans are freed. The King is still alive, but PewDiePie then begins to levitate and glow, as the fans crumble together to create the Legendary Brofist. The Barrel King asks PewDiePie how he created the Brofist, to which PewDiePie replies that love was the answer, and that the Barrel King was empty inside. Instantly, the Barrel King is crushed and killed, while everyone celebrates.

After the end credits, the Barrel King's remains are seen being carried by the Barrels.
