Let’s Up Those Numbers! | A Music Video for Ludwig’s L’s

Let's Up Those Numbers Ludwig Turns to Jellywig

There’s a fine line between being a people pleaser and being a spineless jellyfish and Ludwig “Jellywig” Ahgren has apparently decided to do a swan dive straight into the latter.

For a guy who built his empire on bold moves and “creator-first content”, Ludwig has developed a serious allergy to taking real stances. He never wants to offend, and always plays it safe unless the court of public opinion already ruled for him.

So, why are people dragging Ludwig harder than Hasan drags down America? 

Let’s break it down with three choice Jellywig L’s that make the nickname hit harder than his milk toast responses.

“Let’s Up Those Numbers!” - Beerio Kart 2025

Let’s start with the event that inspired our new banger: “Let’s Up Those Numbers! – Ode to Jellywig”, for no other reason besides the fact that I think my own video is hilarious (which is at the end if you’re just impatient).

Ludwig's Jellyfish Jam

In June 2025, Ludwig hosted a Beerio Kart stream that was supposed to be a lighthearted, booze-fueled Mario Kart throwdown. Enter Mang0 – pro Smash player, streamer, and alleged functioning alcoholic – who took the “booze” part a little too seriously.

Mang0’s BAC hit a staggering .34 mid-event (some say it crept up to .37 by the end). And what did Ludwig (host, supposed friend, and responsible adult) say? 

“LET'S UP THOSE NUMBERS!”

He hyped the man like a frat pledge trying to impress seniors, even as Mang0 visibly made female guests uncomfortable and things went completely off the rails.

When backlash inevitably erupted online, Ludwig banned Mang0 from future events and then posted a video pretending to take accountability. But that only came after being roasted alive on Reddit, Twitter, and pretty much everywhere else. 

It wasn’t leadership. It was audience capture. The Jellywig playbook in full effect.

Ludwig vs Hasan: Daddy’s Disappointment

Next up is Hasan Piker, Twitch’s $3 million mansion-owning “man of the people” and personal friend of Dan Clancy, had the audacity to say that…streaming is harder than a 9-to-5 job?

That take deserves its own comedy special. 

Ludwig responded (mildly!) by saying streaming isn’t the hardest job in the world. Which, let’s be honest, is as tame a rebuttal as it gets.

But even that was too spicy for Hasan and Mr. “America deserved 9/11” himself apparently got upset.

And instead of standing by his extremely reasonable take, Ludwig edited the video and reuploaded it without the “controversial” take.

That’s right. He publicly softened his opinion to keep Daddy Hasan happy. 

Textbook Jellywig behavior: toss a pebble, then run away when someone frowns too hard in his general direction.

MasterChef and the Dry-Snitch Arc

Let’s not forget the time Ludwig “accidentally” called out streamers for watching DMCA-prone content like MasterChef on Twitch. This triggered a mini firestorm, with Hasan once again leading the charge. He accused Ludwig of dry-snitching.

“Hey Ludwig, watch out brother. Listen motherf**ker, you don’t want to get banned. Not in your car, okay b***h? Not in your f**kin car bro. You watch out dude, you don’t wanna get clapped up do you?”

-Hasan

And Ludwig? You already know. He walked it back faster than a cat stepping on tape. Another pattern here: say something mildly spicy, get yelled at, then issue a retraction and pretend nothing happened.

The Verdict: Jellywig Is Real

Ludwig doesn’t take stands. He field tests them. Depending on the reaction, he either doubles down or folds like a lawn chair. It’s not strategy. It’s cowardice. At a time when creators should be showing backbone, Ludwig is out here playing moral limbo to keep everyone happy.

But hey, at least he’s given us content. Speaking of which…

WATCH: “Let’s Up Those Numbers! – Ode to Jellywig”

Click the video below and relive the Beerio Kart chaos in the only way it should be remembered: hilariously overdramatized and absolutely dripping in sarcasm.

Let me know what you think! Did Ludwig fumble the bag, or is Jellywig just…misunderstood?

Either way, the spine count remains at a big fat zero.
