YouTube / Nikocado Avocado
YouTuber Nikocado Avocado shocked his audience on September 6 with a video revealing a dramatic 250-pound weight loss transformation. Known for his viral “Mukbang” videos, where he consumes large quantities of food, the influencer, whose real name is Nicholas Perry, surprised everyone with his new, slimmer appearance.
Nikocado’s fans were used to seeing him in his heavier form, and his last upload in February showed him as his usual self. This unexpected reveal left many wondering how he achieved such a drastic change in what seemed like only seven months. However, in his latest post, Nikocado revealed that the transformation took much longer. Over the past two years, he had only been sharing older footage of himself, keeping his weight loss journey a secret.
In typical Nikocado fashion, the YouTuber added a layer of theatrics to his reveal by wearing a giant panda mask. “Two steps ahead, I am always two steps ahead,” he said in the video. He referred to his weight loss journey as part of a larger “social experiment,” hinting that the whole process was carefully planned.
“This has been the greatest social experiment of my entire life,” Nikocado declared. He spoke at length about how he manipulated the narrative online, comparing his audience to ants on an ant farm. “It’s mesmerizing. All these little consumers, lost and bored, consuming anything they’re told to consume.”
Nikocado, who had crafted an online persona as the “Mukbang King,” played up his role as a villain in the eyes of his audience. “I am the villain because I’ve made myself one,” he stated, emphasizing how people were eager to buy into whatever story he was spinning. His viewers, he suggested, would keep coming back to consume these stories, no matter what.
At the end of his monologue, Nikocado removed the panda mask and finally addressed the transformation itself. “I woke up having lost 250 pounds,” he said, reflecting on how people still labeled him “fat” and “irrelevant” before this reveal. “The joke’s on you,” he added, pointing out that he had been ahead of the curve the entire time, outsmarting those who judged him.
The video didn’t just stop at the weight loss reveal. In classic Nikocado style, he introduced a parrot named Mr. Noodle, identical to the bird featured in his earlier videos. As if nothing had changed, he indulged in a Mukbang session, slurping down spicy black bean noodles. “They don’t call me the Mukbang King for no reason,” he quipped, reminding viewers of his brand, even in the midst of such a life-altering transformation.
Fans reacted with shock and admiration. The comment section was flooded with supportive messages. “This guy is actually a genius,” one fan wrote, praising Nikocado for successfully executing what they saw as a long-term plan to expose society’s obsession with appearance and narrative. Another user commented, “Dude’s not a villain. He’s a legit hero. Good job, man!”
Nikocado later posted more details about his journey on his second YouTube channel. In a more relaxed video, he explained that he hadn’t posted any new content for the past two years, choosing instead to upload older videos that kept fans in the dark about his personal progress. “This is where I’m posting now,” he said, indicating that his new look is just the beginning of a fresh chapter for him.
His weight loss journey has sparked discussions among fans about body image, health, and the sometimes deceptive nature of online content. For many, Nikocado’s transformation is more than just physical—it’s a testament to the power of narrative control on social media.
Despite the controversy surrounding his past videos, where he played up unhealthy eating habits and extreme behavior for views, his 250-pound weight loss has left many reevaluating their opinions of him. The YouTuber, who once thrived on drama and spectacle, has shown that he is capable of reinventing himself in ways that few could have anticipated.
Only time will tell what’s next for Nikocado Avocado, but one thing is for sure—he’s still keeping everyone on their toes. His ability to turn the narrative in his favor, even in the face of criticism, shows just how skilled he is at capturing the attention of the internet. Fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see where his journey takes him next.
