Rest in Peace Apetor, Norwegian YouTube legend that sadly passed away earlier today. He died doing what he loved, producing his wacky and nonsensical videos that never fail to put a smile on one’s face. Gone but never forgotten!

At first I was sad that Apetor died of what I assumed was a battle with cancer.
Then I found out he died walking across a frozen river. Which is exactly how he’d want to die. Rest ez you absolute maniac.
