TheBurntPeanut

TheBurntPeanut started streaming on Twitch in 2019, mainly focusing on gaming guides and tutorials for games such as Escape from Tarkov, although, he only grew a small audience.^[1]

Following a long period where he went on a hiatus from streaming and content creation, he returned to streaming and adopted the "TheBurntPeanut" persona, represented by a peanut Snapchat-like filter; this also led him to become more of a comedy gaming streamer.^[2][3]

In 2024 TheBurntPeanut gained a significant amount of growth in viewers following his changes and interacting in in-game voice chat in Escape from Tarkov and other games.^[4][5]

In mid-2025, he expanded his content to more extraction shooter games, such as ARC Raiders.^[6] This also led to his live streams featuring large-scale community events and collaborations with other streamers, contributing to a large jump in viewership; he refers to his viewers as "Bungulators."^[7][8][9]

At the 2025 Streamer Awards, despite calling himself a "PTuber", he won the "Best VTuber" award, beating out streamers such as Ironmouse and Usada Pekora.^[10][11] He also won the "Best FPS Streamer."^[12] In May 2026, TheBurntPeanut was offered 1 million dollars by MrBeast to reveal his face to his viewers he said no, and stated, "The peanut avatar already is my real face."^[13][14]

After his growth in 2025, TheBurntPeanut was accused of view-botting his live streams; he responded to the situation, calling those who accused him "losers".^[15] In 2026 he was featured as a cosmetic in the 2017 video game Fortnite Battle Royale; this received backlash from the Fortnite community, with people bringing up his past use of homophobic slurs on stream.^[16][17]
