User blog comment:The Six-Fingered One/The Psycho Series -- and My Thoughts On It/@comment-5100783-20160531173311/@comment-26428853-20160531223052

I know, right!

The Psycho Series started out as just a routine skit for Jesse and his family (as he really only posted skits back then). I do not think he realized the very first one, "Psycho Dad Destroys Xbox", would become as popular and viral as it did. I think when he realized he had opportunity to really grow his channel with his new-found internet fame, he went out in all-guns to make more over the next two years. As 2014 ended and 2015 rolled in, more videos were uploaded than previous, and in Spring the Vlog series started up -- adding the narrative part of the Psycho Series. What use to be an occassional video depicting family dysfunction suddenly became much deeper and much more deep-rooted.

This is just my theory on why the Psycho Series became his flagship project.
