On a recent stream, Twitch streamer Sodapoppin was duped by a viewer’s donation message, prompting him to act out the viral Twitch emoticon “PotFriend.”
Sodapoppin received a donation that initially appeared to be a helpful message for people learning sign language while he was leveling a new Druid character in World of Warcraft.
Chance realized he had been trolled by his fans after reading the message and performing the action directed by the viewer. He immediately regretted doing what the fan had asked of him.
The Twitch sensation did a quick stream earlier today, spending the majority of the time leveling a new World of Warcraft character.
Sodapoppin received the following donation from a viewer known as The Turtle__ while he was busy optimizing the leveling path to get the most out of the quests scattered throughout the zone.
As the text-to-speech software repeated the message to the masses, the streamer laughed. Chance began acting out the viewer’s instructions after the donation message ended.
After Sodapoppin was successfully trolled into performing a Twitch emoticon in real life, almost everyone in his Twitch chat began spamming PotFriend. He didn’t understand what was going on at first.
The streamer returned his gaze to his chatroom and realized he had been duped by the viewer’s donation message.
Fans in the chatroom celebrated their shenanigans for successfully trolling the streamer as Soda progressed further in the game.
Soda’s video was featured on r/LivestreamFail because it received over 1.3k upvotes, and fans were thrilled to see how the streamer was duped by a donation message. Some Twitch viewers were curious about the “Chills” and “BatChest” emotes.
Elden Ring’s iconic Pot characters inspired PotFriend (like Iron Fist Alexander).
To commemorate the release of the highly acclaimed FromSoftware title on February 24, 2022, a Twitch emoticon referencing the same was added to the vast emoticon library because of its unique styling and gaming references, the emote quickly went viral on Amazon’s platform. Several Twitch personalities have also acted out the emoticon live on stream, including Felix “xQc.”
