The streamer had been playing a horror game when a jumpscare caused him to accidentally expose himself on camera. He later removed the footage, but the incident quickly became a major online joke. Three years later, Speed was surprised that a fan had remembered the exact date and decided to bring it up during his stream.

Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins reacts to IShowMeat anniversary donation
The donation immediately caught IShowSpeed’s attention. A clip of his reaction was shared by X user @SpeedyHQ. Speed appeared genuinely surprised that the viewer had remembered the date when even he had not thought about it that day.
“That is crazy,” Speed said after seeing the donation. He then explained that the anniversary had not crossed his mind when he woke up.
“You see that? That’s crazy. The fact you waited. That’s, like, it didn’t even cross my mind today. Like, I woke up not even knowing that. But the fact you sat there, you sat there and donated that. And you knew it was the day. Like, bro, do you got that **, bro?”
