Twitch streamers are usually up for a bit of friendly mocking and p*ss-taking in the chat, and we’ve all seen our fair share of outright trolling from subs and viewers.
If you thought you’d seen all the Twitch pranks under the sun then you might want to think again, as people have figured out how to troll livestreamers using the iconic PornHub music, and it’s absolute genius.
The way it works is simple – get the all-too-familiar (for some, at least) PornHub intro tune to play during the stream and then sit back and watch the reactions. Expect gold not just from the streamer, but also from the chat.
10/10 for simplicity and elegance with this one.
Check out the phenomenon happening to Twitch streamer PaymoneyWubby below.
PaymoneyWubby isn’t the only one to fall victim to this revolution in trolling, which looks like it’s going to be pretty popular in streams for the next few weeks…
Check out streamer UberHaxorNova getting pranked the same way – this time with the addition of a pop-up featuring the PornHub logo. A little less subtle, but at least this one’s got the jump-scare factor. Watch it below.

Of course, pranks like this aren’t always funny. Know your audience before you try and troll a Twitch chat or you might end up in a bit of trouble.
Tons of trolls in the Twitch chat today. I sincerely hope they one day have a moment of clarity and feel a twinge of regret for being such assholes. But this is excellent #DND and people being jerks can’t tarnish that!

No one can say im a horrible person. Cause im prolly the only streamer who will unban a user on twitch after a year of being banned. I have seen small changes in their behaviour that warrants another chance. Trolls are people too who dont understand pic.twitter.com/u3coCoYeRs— Arrgron #LucidGaming (@Arrgron) December 28, 2018
