Nikocado Avocado is widely discussed online, though he’s a rather uncomfortable subject for some. This YouTuber became famous for his mukbang videos during the 2010s, which many people absolutely hate in general, especially due to Nikocado’s perceivably cringeworthy attitude paired with a notoriously rapid health decline.

Nikocado’s presence on YouTube and elsewhere online has only grown over the years, just like his presence in meme culture. So far, he has no plans to slow down.

So, what’s the big deal about Nikocado, and why is he so unpopular online while others seemingly adore him? Here’s everything you need to know.

Who Is Nikocado Avocado?

Nikocado Avocado is the channel name for Nicholas Perry, a mukbang YouTuber. In his videos, Nick frequently eats massive quantities of food on a very regular basis, often breaking down in tears or emotion during his rants. He also has an "OF" that's produced some infamous content`do-avocados-coinslot.

Nick is known best for sharing his weight gain journey with fans. He frequently weighs himself and expresses delight at the increasing number, even though he has put on a concerning amount of weight in a very short period of time, leading to health complications and widespread concern online.

Nikocado’s personal life is also widely discussed around the web. Very few details are actually known other than he moved several times throughout his career and married his partner Orlin in 2017, though the couple split up in the summer of 2022. He also used to be very skinny and proudly vegan and even met Orlin through a vegan social group. Nick currently lives in Florida.

There are many rumors about Nick’s life that are completely ridiculous, such as the theory that he ate his pet bird which used to appear in many videos. But what people speculate most about is his reason behind gaining weight and making these videos, theorizing about anything from a nervous breakdown to a forced feeding fetish.

How Is Nikocado Avocado Discussed Online?

Many memes make fun of Nikocado because he’s frequently perceived as cringeworthy. In his videos, he is often very emotional, eats very sloppily and generally makes a lot of viewers uncomfortable. His perceived joy at gaining weight is also a target of ridicule among others, since no one knows for sure why he seems determined to gain more.

Nick is also the subject of quite a few controversies. For one, he sometimes titles videos with claims that he’s disabled. Mukbang YouTuber Stephanie Soo also made a video claiming that Nick sent her harassing messages after a collaboration and that she is “scared” of him.

His fanbase is considered controversial as well since they will sometimes leave encouraging messages under his videos telling him to keep doing what he’s doing. Additionally, the very act of watching his videos is often shamed, with people arguing that adding views only gives him the attention that he seeks and encourages him to keep going with his lifestyle.

Many people believe he’s “slowly killing himself for views,” an opinion shared by Cr1TiKaL (also known as Penguinz0) on YouTube. While there admittedly are lots of memes joking solely about his weight, there are many more memers who are simply expressing a deep concern about this self-destructive behavior.

How Did Nikocado Avocado Break His Ribs?

Nikocado claims his ribs were broken from coughing for months. Some people online doubt the validity of his injury, believing it is a tactic Nick is using for clickbait, citing how he’s posed for thumbnails with his sleep apnea mask in what appeared to be an attempt to look more ill than he actually is.

There’s also the somewhat widely held belief that Nick’s diet is the cause of his ribs breaking, purportedly making it one of the first symptoms of a problem that many think is undoubtedly going to get a lot worse in the future.
