BansheePlant

BansheePlant, sometimes referred to as Fred due to an In-Joke, is a regular viewer and semi-frequent commenter on the channel, as well as Matt's online best friend. He's also a member of the Notification Squad, and shares a sense of humor with Matt that cannot be easily explained.

As a subscriber
Banshee's comments range from serious ones relating to the video, or funny and nonsensical ones that only really make sense to Matt, due to the nature of the jokes, as well as the fact that most are referential to things that only they know and understand.

As a friend
Banshee understands Matt a lot more than most people do, and it is this which influences the channel in subtle, yet effective ways that will not be directly explained.

Before the Notification Squad came to prominence, Matt would run video ideas past Banshee for approval. To this day, this practice still occurs, and Banshee is Matt's first port of call if he is unsure whether or not to include certain jokes or just to get certain opinions, purely on the trust that Matt gives Banshee and receives in return.

The two get along like a house on fire and are commonly seen joking about together or thinking of many silly jokes or contributing to conversations in a humorous manner. However, they are also known to have serious and intellectual conversations based on opinions, pop culture, and other topics, though this is as infrequent as their tendency to joke around.
