Albert Spencer Aretz, better known online as Flamingo (also known as AlbertsStuff or mrflimflam), is an American Roblox YouTuber who uploads gameplay and reaction videos. He is the villainous protagonist of his YouTube channel/channels. He is best known for his comedic style, inside jokes, and characters.
In most of his videos, he plays various Roblox games on his main account or various alt accounts, usually causing chaos by trolling unsuspecting innocents. Oftentimes he gives himself godlike powers through admin commands that he uses to more effectively terrorise his fellow players.
Appearance[]
Albert is 5'11" (180.34 centimetres) tall. He has green eyes and wavy brown which was previously dyed blond and platinum.
Personality[]
Albert is antisocial, homicidal, and obsessed with causing chaos while playing Roblox. He is known for his screaming and raging, acting pretty childish on camera when he is recording. Wherever he goes, he usually brings pain and misery to everyone else for his own amusement.
Flamingo seems to have declared war on the concepts of cleanliness, politeness and order. He is usually either indifferent to the suffering he causes or actively revels in it, and is fond of going to the strictest roleplaying games he can find, so he can cause upheaval.
Flamingo, at the beginning of his channel was very family-friendly, never cursing, making adult jokes or drawing attention to inappropriate subject matter. Presumably because he is aware his audience is growing up, he has been getting less family-friendly overtime, swearing often (though still censoring it) and often making perverted jokes.
Albert has declared himself to be "Chaotic Neutral" in the past. He immensely values freedom for himself and will do exactly what he feels like, no matter who he offends. However, he is very hypocritical because he loves oppressing others, yet gets hysterical if somebody else oppresses him.
He's quite creative and experimental when it comes to using admin commands, painstakingly finding the best way to cause torment to other players. If he goes overboard, he may end up destroying the entire server, forcing him to shut it down and start over.
He is very sadistic and generally, the more people are suffering, the happier he is. What makes this even worse is that a majority of Roblox players are children, yet this doesn't dissuade him and instead seems to encourage him. Sometimes he acknowledges that what he did has probably traumatized a young child, but continues to do so.
Whenever Flamingo makes an avatar, it will usually be incredibly ugly and horrific to look at, with all sorts of unnatural protusions. Flamingo usually roleplays the avatars as if they believe themselves to be ethereally beautiful. This either means Albert has very unorthodox ideas about beauty, or this is just another way to annoy people by making them see ugly things.
He's also very underhanded and is prepared to use exploits to give himself unfair advantages. This includes keeping himself informed of any new Roblox avatar glitches that he can use to get ahead in games like Murder Mystery 2, or even using autoclicker exploits.
Albert is very profligate and is willing to spend inordinate amounts of Robux to get an advantage over other players. If any game has admin commands or a high rank for sale, he is guaranteed to buy it, so he can taunt and torture other players, either physically or mentally.
In fact, Albert expresses fear of playing multiplayer games if he doesn't have any special advantage, as he'll have to rely only on his own wits and skills.
Albert very occasionally tries to seek out higher levels of power, but very quickly gets bored of them. He prefers to torment players at a smaller scale due to desiring maximum freedom for himself.
Albert has a malefic influence on others. Sometimes he plays with others and encourages them to be chaotic, the two of them then working together in mutual sadism. Or he bestows weapons on random people he selects, causing them to go on a murderous rampage.
If Flamingo is forced to play a game where there is truly nothing he can do to upset the order, he still plays every avatar with a mocking, outspoken manner, usually making enemies of many on the server anyway.
While playing a singleplayer game, due to not having others to abuse, Albert will show a calmer demeanor than normal and interact with his audience in a more philosophical and personal way than he usually does, often revealing details about his life or his general mindset.
Albert seems to have a love-hate relationship with Roblox. He often makes videos discussing Roblox news, which is usually negative, giving his thoughts and hoping Roblox can turn things around. And he often scouts Roblox searching for the worst and most problematic games he can find.
As such, it seems as if Flamingo deeply cares about Roblox being as good as possible, which is why he focuses so much on the negative. But at the same time, he sometimes organise Junkbot raids that have been proven to harm the integrity of Roblox servers and also has tried to sell out Roblox to Hindenburg Research.
Flamingo absolutely hates his fans as stated in his own channel description. He constantly uses alt accounts so he never has to deal with any of them and if he finds somebody calling themself a Flamingo fan he makes sure to torment them. At the same time, he likes using them as minions or wild animals he can sic on people.
At the very beginning of his channel, Flamingo had more redeeming qualities than he had now, such as being very insecure about his appearance and stating he loves his fans, but over-time he lost these qualities as he became more confident.
Flamingo once had a channel called "AlbertsStuff", where he made similar content to his current channel, except this was a mature channel where he openly swore, did crass things and was very politically incorrect as part of his online persona. Albert has expressed regret for the things he said on this channel, leading him to delete most of the videos and apologize.
Flamingo has little to no respect for most of the people on Roblox, mocking them and throwing childish insults like "FAT" and "NOOB" at them. On some occasions, however, he has shown honourable qualities:
- If somebody is particularly nice or helpful to him despite his abuse, he may end up sparing them, declare that he will protect them, or atleast, say he doesn't feel too good about tormenting them.
- He is not a bigot and has no respect for anybody on Roblox who is. He may try and sabotage these people when he finds them.
- He occasionally gifts some of the strangers he meets Robux, after they have done certain (gruesome) tasks for him.
- He is occasionally disturbed by games or other players on Roblox.
- If Albert sees something on Roblox that is unsuitable for minors (such as online dating, people writing slurs or swears, or scammers) he takes it seriously and does everything on his power to destroy or undermine it. As much as he hates children, he doesn't want anything truly harmful to happen to them.
- He does feel bad for bad things that happen to other people if they weren't his own fault.
Villainous Acts[]
While Albert is a protagonist of his own series, he has committed a massive amount of crimes such as:
Murder[]
In his Admin videos (or normal videos), Albert usually ends up killing one or more players in a Roblox game, often using shockingly aggressive tactics to do so. He usually takes great pleasure in doing so, and enjoys the thrill of having the power to eliminate other players. He also enjoys boasting about his accomplishments and showing off his superior skills. Sometimes, he is remorseful for it.
Property Destruction[]
Flamingo's admin commands usually end up causing permanent damage to servers. One of his favourite commands is "Unanchor", which if used incorrectly, can completely destroy a large portion of the map. In such situations, Flamingo usually shuts these servers down, but occasionally he simply leaves them up if he feels like it.
Familicide[]
Albert often roleplays as being related to other players on a Roblox game, only to end up murdering them anyway.
Animal Cruelty[]
Albert can torment players by killing their pets in front of them, or he just brutally eviscerates random animals just for the heck of it. It seems he is especially fond of killing dogs.
Torture and Mutilation[]
Flamingo tortures many Robloxians by killing them over and over, or ripping and shooting off parts of their body. He even puts them through psychological torture in some of his admin videos, by making them think they're going insane.
Harassment[]
While he usually torments the entire server, sometimes he hyperfocuses on bullying one person. This person will have a miserable time as Flamingo targets them.
Assault[]
Albert will not hesitate to cause pain and suffering to a player and will do so without a second thought. He almost never cares for the consequences.
Abuse[]
Albert will usually abuse a player at least once, and most of these victims are young children on Roblox. He will use psychological abuse, trapping them in a confined area or looping them to their death. He also insults the players in a childish manner.
Manipulation[]
Albert often feeds Roblox players (and even his fans) wrong or irrelevant information, which can often cause confusion and frustration among the server. This can lead to heated debates between players, as well as misunderstanding and further chaos on the server. As a result, Albert's actions can cause a lot of disruption and disarray on the Roblox server, leading to a less than enjoyable experience for many players.
Omnicide[]
Albert often shut downs games with his admin commands (usually because he ended up destroying the server), or often when he creates his own game for a video, he will delete it after.
Impersonation and Identity Theft[]
Albert often pretends to be other YouTubers or part of a career for which he is not qualified. He even impersonates normal players by using his admin commands to take over their life in their place, as a form of psychological abuse.
Treason and Criminal Breach of Trust[]
Suffice it to say, Flamingo is not very trustworthy or reliable. Anybody who gives him any modicum of power will find this out the hard way. He has even plotted to betray Roblox itself.
Stalking / Breaking and Entering /Invasion of Privacy[]
Albert often stalks people using his admin commands to become invisible. He also uses all kinds of exploits to break into places he is not allowed.
Workplace Abuse and Discrimination[]
If Albert is placed in a position of power, he horrifically abuses it before getting caught. He also shows discrimination between his employees, picking one to favour and another to mistreat.
Quotes[]
| “ | You know, do you think Thomas the Choo Choo Train bleeds? What happens, because clearly there's a soul and maybe organs in there — what happens to those organs when Thomas the Choo Choo Train crashes? Have you ever heard of the trolley problem? A trolley is going straight and it's going to kill five people. Do you — drift it, do you manually get involved and drift it off-course, to only hit the one person? So do you just, keep your hands off and let it kill — run over five people, or (switches the lever with his hands) go like that and then you caused that one person (to have) died? You see where there's kind of a dilemma — obviously, you want less people to die, but do you want to be involved, because that means you killed that one person, you did that. You changed the outcome of what was going to happen.... Do you think Thomas the Choo Choo Train was ever forced into that situation? There is nothing he can do. He does not have hands. He has wheels that force him on that little track. Thomas the Choo Choo Train is truly the one in hell — See, his friends and family are trying to get him to stop, but he has had enough. These are the people that enslaved him. They put him on that track. They kept making him do this every three weeks. Sometimes it made him do wheelies over it, like this, to like just slowly do it. Look at him, oh my God, there's another one. If there are many Thomas the Choo Choo Trains on Earth, that would literally mean it's impossible for that not to happen, and okay, yeah, has there ever been a head-on collision between two trains in the Thomas the Choo Choo Train universe? | „ |

| “ | So, this is Hindenburg Research, I've done a video on (them) — Whenever they drop one of these articles, it hurts Roblox's stock — and they know that, and that's their goal... but that's kind of the natural order of the world, you can't really blame them, I guess. | „ |
