Early Life & Education

PathoFail, the popular Mexican YouTuber known as PP Patho or simply Patho behind the chaotic gaming channel @pathofail, was born Patho L. Óscar Penax on February 21, 1994, in Mexico, with ties to Xalapa, Veracruz, from his early days in anime content.

Now 31 years old, he grew up in a close-knit family as the youngest sibling. His parents, Carlos and María, met and fell in love around 1980, welcoming their first son, Beto, in 1982, followed by Marito in 1988, before Patho arrived in 1994.

He has also mentioned a sister in occasional social media shares, and an uncle who remained single to help care for the siblings during childhood. Of Mexican ethnicity with Latino/Hispanic roots, PathoFail identifies as Catholic.

In his early years, he developed a deep passion for anime, joining the club “Sabaku no Izumi” for 6 years, which inspired his initial content creation on channels like Elcanaldelpatho Otaku, featuring parodies and otaku humor.

After high school, he took about a year to decide on his path before earning a degree in Ciencias de la Comunicación (Communication Sciences) at university, later pursuing a master’s in advertising.

This background in communication supported his shift from anime videos starting around 2016 to launching the PathoFail channel in 2018, where he built his massive following through game fails, Among Us mods, and absurd challenges.

Career

PathoFail is a Mexican YouTuber best known for his popular gaming channel @pathofail. He started his main YouTube career in July 2018, focusing on funny game fails, challenges, and chaotic gameplay.

Over time, his videos began to feature custom mods, meme edits, and absurd roleplay, which helped him build a large following thanks to his playful style and unique sense of humor. By adopting the persona “No soy hombre ni soy mujer, soy un alien,” he stood out in the gaming community and made his alien identity a key part of his brand.

PathoFail’s journey as a creator began even earlier. In 2012, while part of the anime club “Sabaku no Izumi” for six years, he and his friends started a YouTube channel called This Is Shabaku, where they posted videos about their otaku interests.

A year later, he moved to a new channel, Elcanaldelpatho Otaku (created in 2014), sharing anime parodies, skits, and otaku humor, including hits like “LOS PEORES CHISTES OTAKU (Parodia).” After a break, he returned in 2016 and then fully shifted his focus in 2018 by launching PathoFail, moving from anime-only content to a wider range of gaming entertainment.

PathoFail’s popularity soared in the early 2020s, especially with his Among Us videos featuring cursed (“malditos“) characters, custom mods, 3 AM horror challenges, and both solo and group playthroughs that mixed comedy with community interaction.

This period was his big breakthrough, with videos on Among Us, Poppy Playtime recreations, Roblox games like Steal a Brainrot, and luck-based openings attracting millions of views. He also grew his audience with daily Twitch streams (usually starting around 7:00 PM), behind-the-scenes content and shorts on Instagram (@pathoofail or similar), and memes on X/Twitter (@pathoofail).

He experimented with other channels too, including ones for Roblox and animations. His studies in Communication Sciences at university, followed by a master’s in advertising, helped him create engaging, high-quality videos with strong storytelling and editing.

PathoFail’s main channel had over 7.42 million subscribers and billions of views across more than 1,200 videos. His most popular series includes Minecraft lucky block races, real-life challenges, and ongoing Among Us mods, all of which keep fans coming back for the fun, creativity, and absurdity.
