Internet career
Summarize
Perspective
Schlatt began creating YouTube videos in 2013, initially uploading Call of Duty gameplay videos alongside friends.[10] The original jschlatt channel was created in July 2013, with content evolving from gaming to include comedic sketches, reaction videos, internet commentary, and satirical takes on memes and trending topics. On February 6, 2018, Schlatt uploaded a 27-second meme video titled "elon r u ok", which quickly became one of his most viewed uploads and significantly boosted his public profile.[11][12]
Schlatt began streaming on Twitch in June 2018, playing a wide variety of games,[13] including Cities: Skylines, Minecraft, and indie simulation titles. On March 1, 2019, he joined SMPLive, a private Minecraft server, which significantly increased his audience and subscriber count.[14][15]
During the SMPLive series, Schlatt kept his face hidden, only revealing it after defeating the server's final boss in a video uploaded on September 26, 2019.[16]
Schlatt went on an unannounced hiatus from streaming in December 2019, which lasted until December 16, 2021, when he released a video titled "i'm quitting youtube" announcing his return to content creation and Twitch streaming.[17][18][19]
In 2020, Schlatt briefly joined the Dream SMP, a Minecraft roleplay server, participating in collaborative events and storylines. Although his time on the server was limited, it helped consolidate his reputation in the online gaming community.[20]
In 2021, Schlatt joined the content organization One True King as a co-owner, participating in videos, livestreams, and online events. He left the organisation in 2022 to focus on personal projects, including music, podcasting, and his business ventures with GamerSupps.
As of 2025, Schlatt continues to produce content primarily on his Schlatt & Co. channel, hosts the Sleep Deprived podcast,[9] releases music, and streams occasionally on Twitch.[21]

Perspective
Sleep Deprived
In addition to solo streaming and Minecraft appearances, Schlatt is a founding member and regular host of the comedy podcast Sleep Deprived. The programme began with episodic uploads to his personal channel in July 2017[23] before moving to its own dedicated channel. The show features apandah, Mikasacus, and Aztrosist, with Sancho listed humorously as a “member” despite not being a real participant,[24] along with guest appearances from other creators. Schlatt temporarily left the podcast for Episodes 101–149, returning to host the series from Episode 150 onward, at which point the podcast began releasing content exclusively on Patreon while still offering select episodes on YouTube.[25] The show is available as video on YouTube and as an audio podcast on platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts; episodes have been released on a largely weekly schedule since the channel relaunch.[26][27] As of October 2025, the podcast has over 230 episodes on Patreon and more than 744,000 subscribers on YouTube.[9]
The Weekly Slap
The Weekly Slap is a laid-back podcast and commentary series hosted by Schlatt, launched in September 2018 on its own YouTube channel.[28] The show features Schlatt discussing personal thoughts, answering audience questions, and exploring topics that interest him, often while playing older Call of Duty titles. Its tone contrasts with his louder or more comedic content, focusing instead on candid monologues and relaxed commentary. While initially uploaded on a weekly basis, new episodes are released irregularly as part of his broader YouTube content.
Lunch Club (previously Goopcast)
Before his independent success, Schlatt was part of Lunch Club, a collaborative YouTube group and podcast originally known as Goopcast. The group included creators such as CallMeCarson, Ted Nivison, traves, cscoop and others, producing discussion-based comedy videos and podcasts focused on internet culture and gaming.[29] The show premiered in mid-2019 and was briefly one of the more popular creator collectives in the Minecraft and commentary scene, before becoming inactive in early 2021 following internal controversies unrelated to Schlatt's conduct.[30] Although the channel remains archived, several episodes continue to circulate on fan channels and archival sites.[31]
Chuckle Sandwich
Schlatt co-created the comedy podcast Chuckle Sandwich alongside Ted Nivison and Slimecicle (Charlie Dalgleish) in early 2021.[32] The show follows a structured yet improvisational format, focusing on comedy discussions, skits, and commentary about internet culture and personal anecdotes. Episodes are released to YouTube and Spotify, frequently featuring guest creators such as Jaiden Animations and Jontron.[33]
Did Schlatt Win?
In January 2023, Schlatt launched the short-form channel Did Schlatt Win? as a humorous series tracking his personal gaming challenges and competitive streaks in various titles.[34] Each video follows a brief, punchline-driven format answering the titular question, with topics ranging from simulation games to online competitions. The series quickly gained popularity for its self-aware editing and comedic timing, becoming one of his most viral side projects.

On September 28, 2022, Schlatt and Ludwig Ahgren created the YouTube channel Lud and Schlatts Musical Emporium, a collaborative project aimed at providing royalty-free recordings of famous classical compositions, as well as original, Nintendo-inspired music for use in content creation.[35][36][37]
On December 15, 2023, Schlatt released a cover of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" in response to several artificial intelligence-created song covers that used his voice as well as other parts of his likeness.[38][39] The cover was later removed by Universal Music Group for alleged copyright infringement.[40]
On November 7, 2024, Schlatt released a cover of the Christmas song "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" and announced the beginning of work on his debut Christmas album, A Very 1999 Christmas.[40][41] The album was created with the help of saxophonist Tom Scott, a former member of the Blues Brothers, to arrange the music sheets.[42] The full album was recorded at The Sound Factory in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. Following the worldwide blocking of the cover on YouTube, Schlatt released his second single, "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!", on November 21, 2024.[43][44] The album, which includes Schlatt's first two singles as well as six other classic Christmas songs, officially released on December 1, 2024.[45]
