Let's try this one more time. In a highly unorganized breakdown that flashes between me knowing nothing and me knowing EVERYTHING, we're going to be looking at Paul Zimmer (or as he is now known, Troy Becker). Yes, that's right. The internet's favorite scammer has seemingly returned for more, so let's see what he's up to now, while also taking a look at how we got here. Let's do this...

i liked it but youtube is hella slow on it... with adblock
What kind of glasses are those? They look dope.
cool video, but opera gx sponsor + ai shill🥺
The absolute unhinged boldness of "Younger sexier version of myself" and then "I'm taking over all his socials because we look alike" is absolutely insane LOL
One of the most uniquely unhinged things Ive ever seen, even years later.
He got a nat 1 on that perception check roll.
YES YES YES
NOBODY CARES I MAKE MORE ENTERTAINING VIDEOS
(INSANE);;;
@ville__ who tf are you guys???? Do I know you??
even if it was some different six teen year old kid !!!
EWWWW????
As a Greg
Troy Beckers actually a Russian spy who eats airplanes.
Absolutely, people can’t deny the truth no longer!!
fellow greggggg what's up fammm
GREGS UNITE
Thank God us Gregs are here
I'm glad I found the Gregs
andy's appearance and way of speaking feels like if peter parker was bitten by a commentary youtuber instead of a spider (in the nicest way possible)
I was just thinking his physical appearance and mannerisms are completely mismatched.
His mouth moves EXACTLY like Tobey's would and it's the first thing I noticed
DUDE. I would take that as a compliment i flippin love toby as spider man
this is the funniest thing I have ever seen and idk why bc it's true
Omg I see it 😂❤
damn, paul zimmer looks like he aged 15 years since i last heard about him
It's because of the obvious copious amount of plastic surgery he's had. It's a red flag for sure.
It's all of the fraud and reverse-identity theft.
At least now he looks his age
@@julianamarques1828 Does he though?
That’s what I was thinking, he looks kinda like an old man now
paul/troy feels like an alien trying really hard to act like a human but cant quite get speech right
Or mannerisms or social norms or anything
right? his manner of speech is so off-putting.
It's like he slows down his videos
he is actually a russian spy who eats airplanes
“Road work ahead? Uh yeah! I sure hope it does!”
Love that classic line from our boy Andy King here. Truly a great quote.
Damn was that him?
@@Mangoboi699 no it was drew gooden
@@alexlu_ no it was Danny Gonzalez
@@shiznit9142 it was me
@@ruiikasno it was me
Paul.. Zimmer.. 🌬️🚬 haven't heard that name in years
Pedro.. TheCuntiest.. 🌬🚬 haven't heard
that name in years lmao
Cosmonaut…honey…🌬🚬haven’t heard *that* name in years.
"Real water drinkers"
Gatekeeping something all living creatures do is hilarious
Speak for yourself. Im absorbing water through my skin 🐸
im only a fake water drinker :((
I believe it's a reference to a Tumblr post. The one about water having a different "flavor" depending on temperature, or the time you drink it, like middle of the night vs midday.
You wouldn’t get it poser 🥱💧
I was really hoping you’d learn more about the Paul zimmer lore so this is amazing
Paul Zimmerman is lowkey one of my Roman empires 🤣🤣 whenever anyone mentions Troy Becker having no clue who he really is. It takes everything out of me not to go down a rabbit hole no one asked for
So I was also hoping Andy would learn more of the lore
@@ajamarie333me when no one knows his old UA-cam account with Danny edge, I was obsessed with him when I was like 12 bc they loved 5sos 😭
i’m literally shaking LOL i’m so excited
@UTubeTrollPolice298if ur having to say this on another yt channel just to get views on urs then maybe they’re shit? Maybe? (INSANE)
I used to be a big fan of Paul when I was 14 now I’m 23. I remember him and Danny stopped being friends and then he kind of just disappeared from the face of the earth. Then a couple years later I saw him return as Troy Becker and never watched anything he posted ever again because I thought it was weird.
Saaaame I remember when they stopped being friends Danny was so upset and kinda implied Paul betrayed him pretty much, and with how young their fan base was at the peak, and how Paul is trying to pretend to be a teenager still, makes me think Paul is super sus and maybe their friendship ended cause Danny found out Paul was being creepy with fans
I THOUGHT EXCLAMATION POINT WAS A FEVER DREAM 💀💀
@@mariamendoza259 if anything everything after that is a fever dream
Literally felt like I dreamt EPTV after seeing "Troy Becker" online a few years ago 😭 had to look up Danny Edge to make sure I was still in the same reality
Remember when they wanted to go on tour?
Everything else aside, telling people you’re a young teen when you’re a grown man is either incredibly insidious or mentally unwell. That part is just baffling.
As a person who has been chronically ill for my entire life, the “do you have that one friend that’s sick all the time” is crazy lol
Same, that called me out lol
i'll be honest i got almost a full 10minutes into this video thinking 'how did you not know about this you worked as Danny's editor' before I realized that was actually nickisnotgreen
LMFAOOO SAME
Nick should have stuck to editing lol. I liked the way Danny’s vids were edited for the time.
Plus Nick's content has gone off the rails lately
Nick is so obnoxious
@ElementalWhispers have you seen his latest video?
i remember watching this unfold real time on danny gonzalez's channel. revisiting it right now is truly one of the experiences of all time. another banger king
Me too! Watching it happen as it happened was crazy, and what's even crazier is seeing this guy pop up in my feed now from time to time and absolutely no one in the comments knows it's actually Paul Zimmer
@@the_bearer_of_truth00 he's probably deleting comments that mention him tbh
@@changednamelit that makes sense. I've commented every time it pops up on my page and I'll bet he's got a filter or something
Does anyone else have that friend that tickles you so aggressively that you shit your pants and ruin the interior of your 2006 red Honda Civic?
I hate when they do it when I have diarrhea
This deserves to be the top comment 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ALL THE TIME!
You saved my parents marriage Andy, thank you.
It's true. I'm his parents.
Call him the John taffer of saving marriages
@@jinglejangle9768you best get home u bastage...im making dinner tonight
@UTubeTrollPolice298small suggestion, to make your trolling even more irritating maybe make some really low quality content and post it so people will actually say your content sucks instead of just calling you out for having no content.
can confirm, i was his parents marriage
Troy Becker did make it as an actor when he was cast as the school bully in that one dharr man video with sniper wolf… When 2 worlds collide 💯
WHAT
I didn’t need to remember Paul zimmer existed Thanks Andy for the flashbacks
Andy, Kurtis, and Scott Cramer posting ON THE SAME DAY God is good
danny posted too!! (also i didnt realize scott did, thank you)
Do they coordinate or something? I swear all the commentary UA-camrs always upload on the same day. Andy and Danny even posted within an hour.
@@KronoCrimes it's probably because of deadlines for sponsor contracts
@@lpalmer212 that was my first thought too, but even then theres several days left in the month. Unless the sponsors are the ones coordinating that everyone has to arbitrarily post on the 26th it still doesn't quite add up for me.
What
When I saw your first upload I was really hoping you'd end up diving into the Paul Zimmer/Troy Becker lore
yes!
Can you link the original vid? Can't find it 😭
Does no one remember when Paul zimmer had a UA-cam channel like 15 years ago with his friend? I used to watch them all the time. This was so far before musically but no one ever mentions it
THISS. I was looking for someone to comment this. It was called Exclamation Point I think
was this where. hedid the weird vlogs (i specifically remember one about christmas gifts, and he got a finger bowling kit) or was that later??
yeah he made videos with Danny Edge
Right! I'm not sure why no one ever mentions it??
I think him and that friend has a huge falling out I think after there were grooming allegations against Paul
🦖🦕 Really appreciate that you saw the response and looked further into it. This was honestly such a great way to address issues without sacrificing all the time you spent on the first video. Major props!
Can you link original vid? Can't find it 😭
@@AlexGrey97 he took down the original video but this one has that old one with added commentary and new information he learned after researching
This was a nice trip down memory lane. I was gripped by Danny's series on him. Good to see he's still out here being weird.
That dude should be allowed near unattended beverages. I swear, introducing love languages to guys like whats his face was just a horrible idea
Should or shouldn’t 🫣
Top 10 Most devastating typos
You gotta edit this comment ASAP 😭
PLEASW EDIT THIS COMMENT FKFJ
@UTubeTrollPolice298 u don't have any videos r u trying 2 get attention bc ur parents don't love u :(
Watching you fall down the Paul Zimmer rabbit hole is exactly what i didn't know i needed
Gunnar and Andy’s friendship reminds me of a one really hyper friend and one friend who is a little afraid of the other. I think it’s self explanatory who the afraid person in the friendship is lol
Danny Gooden, I'm sure
Paul Zimmer talks like a European robot trying to pretend that's he an American teenager
“I’m an American actor” that explains why he’s a grown man pretending to be a kid. It’s his job to
I used to watch Paul and his friend Danny as a young teen, so it's been weird to see this whole "troy Becker" storyline play out
me too, i remember when danny came out with the videos thats the first time it came back up there’s like 8 years of lore of paul now
Guys let me be honest he deserves more recognition like thought this guy had 2 to 3 million subs but he so underrated...it may sound cringe but he has a chill vibe love ur vids 🫡
holy shit, i honestly thought he had like 2 or 3 million too.. i agree, he deserves a lot more
Yes!! It's really hard to master a casual vibe these days. A lot of UA-camrs try to force it and it comes off very fake. Andy simply IS casual and vibey, he doesn't have to try lmao
Agreed. I feel that way about him and Jacob Sharpe. These guys are way too funny to not have more subscribers.
2:49 PAUL DANO MENTIONED !! DROPPING A FUNNY RELATED STORY !!
after the batman came out, one of my classmates revealed his love for paul dano. he put up pull-off fliers of just dano's face everywhere, had a tiny cardboard cutout of him, dressed up as him for halloween, etc. senior year, this classmate was the homecoming sweetheart for one of the fine arts classes and didnt have an escort, so he made a life-sized cutout of dano and brought him in the parade. it was glorious.
I have massive levels of respect for your classmate he’s a true danonation leader
HELL YEAHHHH DANONATIONNNN‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣
This guy grew up minutes away from me in Maryland and was a mutual friend of several people in my high school, he was always known for trying to talk to high school freshman girls. Even in like 2016-17. Only met him once at a haunted Halloween attraction and he gave really off vibes.
A perfecfly timed ad gave me this great exchange
"Who is Paul Zimmer?"
"Chicken in a pouch???"
So, I guess this guy is actually just a pouch of chicken.
His questions lean enough towards being captivating to a younger audience but vague enough for plausible deniability. Someone lock that dude up.
Andy is so cool, he wears glasses and accepts when he makes mistakes. just like my dad
This dude is definitely going to be a serial killer 🦖
IKR! That is exactly the vibes I'm getting. Like a couple of years down the line, we'll surely hear of a court case.
I know this is a joke but being weird or having an unusual affect are not precursors to violence, and neither is being a fraud or perpetrating a strange but minor internet scandal. Also, serial killers don’t generally start past age 30 lmfao
...how did you come to this conclusion ?
@@meanqueen0024ur probably one…lets not get it twisted
Great update the the OG video! People like this slip through the cracks sometimes, just because they’re so slippery.
In this case there wasn’t the usual social media “breadcrumbs” that would clue people in, a LOT of people miss on this guys past now that a couple years have passed.
So good on you for striving to correct the oversight/mistakes and do better to remember to pause and look closer.
“Do better” is not needed, it’s a mild internet funny situation, not the tensions in the Middle East
@@maddieb.4282 You’re the one comparing the two different scenarios, and dramatizing what I’m saying, not me.
It’s called integrity - and that includes striving* to constantly do better in your everyday life.
Can you link original vid? Can't find it 😭
@@AlexGrey97
He deleted it actually I believe because of his initial oversight😅
Also heads up, links don’t exactly work on youtube anymore (within comment threads) and your comment(s) with a link included will be hidden automatically bc of phishing link scams and whatnot.
@@Tayl0r_ Ohhh okay thank you so much!! Thought I was going crazy looking for it 😂
I love that he kinda brought up ExclamationPoint, I used to watch their videos when I was in middle school, and it’s crazy seeing the road he went down
When I heard "Troy Becker", I started getting fucking 'nam flashbacks of Danny Gonzalez's whole series.
I feel like he’s a real life cryptid. I’ve been around for his clownery since the beginning and I cannot believe he’s STILL here, being chaotic😂😭
It’s so weird to see him go by all of these names because I knew him as Paul Zimmer when I was like 10 years old. I loved him and Danny.
this is insane. my jaw has dropped like 4 times
I remember when Danny covered this dude… it’s nice to see an update on this creep lol
@@TheQueenOfSheba same it’s gotten so much worse!
i appreciate that you went back and course-corrected when you realized you accidentally helped launder this awful dude's image. props.
i’ve been privy to all the lore w/ the exception of the recent stuff. i’ve been watching danny gonzález since he posted his first video about paul. i’m only 2 minutes in but dude.!!!!!!! i’m so fucking ready LOL when you posted about your mistake, i PRAYED that you chose to make this video bc i wanted to see someone go thru this for the first time. i’m fuckin buckled in.
also love u love ur content our brains operate on the same wavelength
I'm gonna be honest, the "question" at 28:00 just feels like him accidently confessing that he makes women uncomfortable when they're alone with him
I feel like I’ve heard so much weird shit since I first heard about this from watching Danny’s videos that this initially sounds so tame. But then you take a second to think about it and it’s actually WILD like he changed his whole fucking name! 🦕
This man is an enigma.
Tommy Wiseau / Onision combo meal
@@trash_bender420 literalyyyyyyyyyyy
Edward Nygma lol
not fucking PAUL ZIMMER AGAIN not AGAIN
I love the way u handled this video, u learned more went back and did a really entertaining deep dive, love that
*also make another video w gunnar so u guys can not have laugh attacks together
Andy, you're MY king.
Me fr
i love this new genre of commentary videos where you comment on your own videos ,, every channel should have a reaction for each original video made 🦖🦕🦕
Christ he's insufferable. Thanks for taking one for the team, Andy.
GREAT video!! We needed an update so I appreciate you taking care of that!! Great room too. Very....padded!
i really like this style of video!! it kind of reminded me of the way you went about the adhd game where you broke it down into a process. i like learning about things through people i like and the way you speak is very enjoyable to me, so hearing your thoughts on this topic was very entertaining! hopefully you think about making more content like this in the future ^_^ 🦕🦖 (i left TWO dinosaurs in the comments. take that andy)
It’s crazy that the og video was you somewhat liking Paul and then you educated yourself and now its a more thought out analysis of his behavior, kudos
The whole periods syncing up thing has proven to be false. Of course most wemon have their periods during the same week, since there's less than 6 weeks in a month. It's a more mental thing. When you hear the hypothesis per say, you think about it subconsciously, and lock onto and remember when it happens. But you don't pay any attention when it doesn't. Which creates a mental loop in which you believe it to be true. And keep in mind, you, your mother, and siblings share genes. Which can come into play. Especially when certain diseases and menstruation-related issues run in the family.
But most importantly, there's nothing scientific to back the claim up.
SO glad you kept the original video cause its so fcing funy
Oh my gooooodd I totally forgot about this!!! I remember when this was all going down and people were losing their minds over this dude faking his identity
i’ve been watching you for like a month without realized you were the mud consumer guy. my world was just rocked. mind blown. everything makes sense now
Mad props to you for going back in and adding to the video keep up the good work man
The period thing is untrue. There was a bad study that got lots of press and everyone believed it, but then when it was disproved it got no press, so now everyone still thinks it’s true. This happens with so many things all the time and it’s really frustrating.
"Do you ever just have that one friend that abuses you?" UHM CAN SOMEONE CHECK ON HIM LMAO? Even if he's done questionable things or is not a great person that's genuinely kind of concerning especially with the way he said it 😰 EDIT: JUST FINISHED THE VIDEO LMAO NVM RRM this guy gives me the ick!
The sad thing is I've expirenced this 😢 I've had like at least 2 friends that I can remember rn that would hit me and slap me and then bully me when I said it hurt. But i thought that's just how friends acted bc my sister treated me the same way and I thought I was friends with my sister
dude. i love this video. it's so unique to have two entirely different things going on. you reacting to the channel and then you talking about what you learned after the fact. good shit, man.
The end of the video kept tripping me up because I saw the now deleted video and I keeps feeling like oh that's deja vu. But this whole thing is wild and I'm glad you kept pulling at the thread about this instead of just giving troy/Paul a pass.
I’m really glad you decided to go back and learn the absolute insane lore of this dude
I'm choosing to believe it's this guys first day on earth and he is just genuinly confused about everything and asking for answers.
andy you look like you should have an almost old news reader esque diction. to me you are the human spiderham. this is a compliment
no i dont mean peter parker i specifically mean a better john mulaney
actually maybe i do mean peter parker. its also giving golden age tobey maguire
idk how to explain this but it feels like becker's trying to fall under the genre of "man being relatable to young women by stating stuff they might do"
Omg, not this guy again. I remember seeing this dude on Danny Gonzalez’s channel like six years ago 😮
Omg Paul Zimmer/ Troy Becker lore let’s gooooooo
Ahhh I remember the Danny Gonzalez videos of this guy😂
3:40 that took me a second 😭
EDIT: I’m projecting bc my dad left me lol. Andy’s dad still loves him but is just late.
Omg this comment really got me.
I hope you're doing okay!
30:21 ANDYYYY !!!!!!! OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MENTIONING HIS EXCLAMATION POINT. MY FRIEND AND I WERE IN 6TH/7TH GRADE AND WE FOUND THEM BC DANNY EDGE LOOKED LIKE HARRY STYLES TO US AS LITTLE DIRECTIONERS BUT PAUL AND I WOULD TALK IN INSTA DMS ALL THE FKIN TIME I WISH I REMEMBERED IF I WAS GROOMED OR NOT FOR MORE TEA, DETAIL, OR PROOF BUT THATS SO CRAZY
been so ready for this one
love that you uploaded this at the same time as the new danny vid
The man has a child with his wife who was his girlfriend back in the musically days. He did one video owning up to the Troy Becker scam and then showed us his wife and baby
could you share the video link?
not to mention,, all the questions troy asks, ive literally seen them in other tts/tweets before 😭😭 im p sure hes literally stealing them
Yes!! I think these type of quotes can be found by the dozen on apps like iFunny😂😂
I watched the original video while it was still up, ALSO not knowing anything about the guy, so it's cool to see the updates upon knowing more about him. And that explains a lot about why all Troy/Paul's videos are Like That.
The thumbnail gave me one hell of a whiplash bc I swear to god I’ve absolutely seen this guy before in the past. Idk his name or what his deal is, but im predicting that he’s done lots of thirst traps along with scams, his face definitely popped on a feed at some point
Edit: omg wait he was Paul Zimmer I totally forgot about this lore until just now, I cannot believe Andy had never heard about this before. I think another popular UA-camr already did another deep dive on him, it might have been Danny Gonzalez??
THANK U FOR MAKING THIS!!! I SWEAR I KEPT SEEING HIM AND BEING CONFUSED AT WHY NO ONE WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS
I watched Paul Zimmer when he had a channel with a creator named Danny. I did not realize he went down this path I just thought he dipped from the channel
ily andy, thank you for the remix (redo) of this original vid
The period thing isn’t true, it’s just that people remember the times it does happen at the same time more, since having it at the same time will happen at least once eventually.
Wrong lol my coworker used to drag us aalll into her rhythm, it was crazy. And I have an IUD and she STILL won 😂😂
@@kaliru1 It’s scientifically not been proven, even a quick google search will show that. The original 1970s study has long been debunked.
It’s like a solar eclipse, everything lines up once in a while but not all the time
@@kaliru1”wrong lol.” You THINK that’s what happened but it was just coincidence, several studies have debunked that. Thanks
The fact that at 5:46 the AI said that Paul Zimmer’s real name is Troy Becker is fucking insane 😭
Any peed in my boots in 1998 while driving a Ford Fiesta
i love how andy made a video about troy becker being the riddler while he looks the most like the riddler that i’ve ever seen
His cadence and strange almost-speech-impedement voice... so strange. Just listen to the way he says everything in the "your friend invites you to a party" reel...
Thank you for making this video Andy, I appreciate that
periods only “sync up” because our cycles aren’t all the same length. some people’s are roughly every 28 days, others every 26, etc, and there are factors that can change the length from month to month. it’s not like “bluetooth” and it baffles me how many men (and even some women) don’t know that
I used to be obsessed with him as Paul Zimmer even with old musically duets to prove, but this new lore has made me obsessed in another way, there is so much lore
The car seems to be a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. My hubby likes to investigate car stuff. Also, "Troy" is self reporting in these and I don't mean the scamming of money.
I love these types of analytical videos!
I want to know how many shirts we see Andy wearing in total throughout all of the cuts lol
You go, King
I absolutely LOVE that you're revisiting this lol
My favourite thing is Andy’s confidence yet incorrectness of dates
The way I screamed when you said you felt sympathy for Troy Becker/Paul Zimmer/whatever this scammer's name is now.
You done good, Andy! But for real, this Troy Zimmer Gutowski guy sounds like a future cult leader. That's probably giving him too much credit, but I mean like, a cult with 20 members in a rec center, nothing fancy.
You’re my comfort UA-camr. You’ve helped me through a lot, thanks dude. Keep being awesome 💕🦖
I refuse to believe that he’s even a real human being, he has to be some kind of cringey AI experiment.
I just watched all of danny's videos to catch up on what this is about and this popped up hell yeah
