20-year-old opens gifts from his fans live on Twitch and experiences a nasty surprise

earthpressnews

The Luxembourg “LetsHugo” (20) became one of the largest in 2023 German-speaking Streamer on Twitch. In a stream he opened Christmas presents from his fans, but not all viewers were well-intentioned with him: there was a nasty surprise hidden in one of the presents.

What kind of situation was that? In a Christmas-themed stream on December 26, 2023, LetsHugo opened gifts he received from his viewers. A small wooden box was hidden in a gift.

When the streamer opened the box, a mechanism was triggered that caused a fake spider to pop out of the gift. LetsHugo shrieked loudly, his eyes rolled back and he seemed to lose consciousness for a moment.

After a few moments, the 20-year-old came to, summed up the events with a “What the fuck?” and checked his racing pulse.

Although LetsHugo is a German-speaking streamer, the clip made it to the international subreddit r/LivestreamFail, where it was also discussed extensively:

  • MidBoss11: “He looks like the kind of guy who’ll faint again if he opens it again.”
  • APointedResponse: “Looks pretty real, or he’s a great actor.”
  • UnoriginallyChris: “Maybe it’s fake, but a spider jumping out of a mysterious box and tickling your hand with all those legs would probably scare the crap out of me too.”

    • Other users didn’t spend long asking whether the fainting spell was real and were rather amused. One comment said that the streamer had probably been reset “to factory settings”.

    Some viewers expressed concern. LetsHugo is known to have health problems, so fans are wondering whether the fainting could be a result of an underlying medical condition.

    However, the Twitch streamer quickly recovered from the shock and continued his stream for another 3 hours.

    There were similar discussions when Twitch streamer GingerBeardie collapsed motionless in the middle of the stream. When the streamer didn’t regain consciousness after several minutes, his viewers became a little uneasy.
