Disgraced YouTuber blogger Logan Paul has hinted at a ‘comeback’ in possibly the most arrogant way.
Last year, he posted a video of him and his ‘crew’ making light of suicide, even showing the body of man in the clip.
He then issued a video apology and posted another clip claiming he wanted to ‘raise awareness’ of mental health. Okay.
After all that, he ‘took time off to reflect’. That was on January 4 and his hiatus has lasted around just one month, it seems.
Why’s that? Because he’s hinted at his comeback in a video in which he seems to depict himself as some sort of Jesus-like character.
In the 25-second clip titled ‘The Return’, Logan is seen crawling out of a cave, looking unshaven, as if he’s been hiding away for some time.

And it’s all quite arrogant.
In movie trailer style, a voice-over says:
One man, well, boy…one boy, who is also a giant chatch, the legend, the myth, the maverick.
Maverick, presumably because of his clothing brand.
With the exception of hardcore fans and followers, it didn’t go down all that well.

Apparently Logan Paul thinks enough a month is enough time passing that you’ll forget he filmed a the body of a suicide victim, edited that film, and then published it to make money off other people viewing the body, too.

And AJ LoCascio added:
‘Poor me: The Logan Paul Story.’ One man’s struggle against no YouTube & slow merch sales for month. In the end he learns nothing. Coming soon.

Pete Halvorsen had this to say:
In a little boys mind, one month is three years.
So it would make sense that he would think he’s been hiding in a cave and that we’ve all forgot that he filmed a dead body, made jokes about it and published it to his pre-teen audience.
The sadly predictable Logan Paul everyone.
With that trending comeback teaser, Logan Paul thinks it's like the second coming of jesus taking a month off social media……. ?

The Logan Paul comeback strategy:
– fuck up apology 1
– apology 2
-disappear
-give 1 million dollars and declare new lease on life
-play victim on Good Morning America in a softball interview

Paul had been quiet for most of January, but as soon as it hit February 1, he was back.
In an exclusive interview with Good Morning America, he made more remarks about raising awareness and people needing to talk and all that.
Here’s a clip:

Of course, as I mentioned, some people were more than happy to hear of his ‘comeback’.
