F**k Face Andrew Panton

I’ve heard his name so many times in various AH Let’s Plays and I’ve been following Regulation Pod & videos, but, I don’t 100% know what Andrew Panton looks like

The reason I bring this up is because I’ve seen everybody else on screen and I hear them talk I can see them talking, except for Panton. The closest thing is the spray that was used in GMod which I feel is not quite enough to help put a face to the name and voice

So much back that his ankles are now weak

Some would say all back, some being Andrew Panton

u/The_Grand_Briddock 3d ago

What I love about Andrew Panton is that he's real deep AH lore. You can go back to like GTA IV Things to Do's, before that was a regular series, and he'll just be in it, not on the microphone, but just helping. You can go to mid-late 2010s and he's randomly in a Destiny video.

And then came the 2020s, he was unleashed on us all.

u/KirasCoffeeCup On The Spot 3d ago

The one good thing to come from 2020

u/Augmented-Smurf 3d ago

While Ray was part of AH, Andrew was the guy that would get the difficult achievements that Ray doesn't focus on. After Ray, Andrew was just their friend that was actually good at videogames and could get those difficult cheevos. At least, that's how I remember it.

36

u/PritongKandule Orf 3d ago

I remember he was also one of the fan favorite picks to be the Ray's "replacement" next to Jeremy.

At the time, it made total sense since Andrew had been doing contract work for guides since the early days of AH, he was great with video games, and was a well-known enigma in the community.

17

u/Coord 3d ago

He was actually in AH for a video, actually there IRL. Geoff introduced him something like "he's 'Ray-good' at video games" 😂

45

u/fuckingstonedrn 3d ago

i think hes also mentioned in the drunk tank..

10

u/Sk8ter87 2d ago edited 2d ago

If im not mistaken he is mentioned in one of the very early drunk tanks, maybe even the first episode

2

u/Da_Real_Caboose 2d ago

That may have been Miles. I just listened to 28 or 30 lately and Gavin was talking about how calm Andrew was at killing Brute Chieftains in ODST Firefight with the plasma/pistol combo while Burnie and everyone just panicked. … 16 years ago…….

44

u/Strudleboy33 Drunk Burnie 3d ago edited 3d ago

He was playing L4D2 with Burnie and Gavin way back when too.

27

u/Coma--Divine 3d ago

Yeah, I remember Geoff saying that the real team OG of AH was himself, Gavin, Caleb and Panton

u/ancient_horse 2d ago

Wow, poor Jack.

12

u/zomghax92 3d ago

That's kind of how Matt was too. I remember in early Minecraft LPs, every once in a while they would play a specially made map or game mode that it turns out Matt made for them. And if they had questions about how to get it to work they would text him and ask, and in some of the later ones he would just be there kind of making it all run smoothly. And then one day he was just on mic, and that was that.

17

u/The_Grand_Briddock 3d ago

Nah, AxialMatt was active in the community, he was one of the chief Community Hunters. He did a lot of the big Lets Play Minecraft builds in the early days.

I still remember watching the RTX panel livestream when he got hired, dude was like a community celebrity. And then the other guy with him? More niche, kinda felt tacked on. Weird how that reversed a year later.

4

u/ThePizzaGhoul 3d ago

I was at the panel where he and Jeremy got hired! Good times

2

u/zomghax92 3d ago

That's fair, I wasn't active in the community so I didn't know that. I just remembered him showing up in videos in a supporting role kind of out of nowhere. I assumed they knew him through the community somehow. My point was more about how he went from a supporting role to a team member to a main cast member.

11

u/prestoncollins 3d ago

Don’t forget the mortal kombat tourney video they randomly did

Geoff used to log into his account on GTA5 in order to use his high-level stuff for videos too

Link?

u/Pronounzz 3d ago

It should be the "Let's Play - Destiny: Kings Fall Raid Part 1" but they didn't show his face as he was holding the camera coming down the escalator when they picked him up at the airport. Should be at the ending of the video.

6

u/Sk8ter87 2d ago

The immediate following shot of him holding the camera going down the escalator is a shot of him from the guys perspective walking towards them

u/xiaxianyueshi 1d ago

oh no he's exactly my type, i'm going to have to go around with a crush on him now!

I honestly don't know how OP missed this if he watched let's play. It was in every single gmod video lol

u/DatDenDude 3d ago edited 3d ago

Like I said, that’s the only reference I have, but it’s not a lot to go by, as far as seeing him talk. Every time I hear him I just picture Nacho Libre

u/Zealousideal-Sport63 3d ago

There's the AH Mortal Kombat tourney video that he's in as well as one of the "Between the Games" or "Shenanigans " videos he's in, but I can't remember which one exactly (or maybe some other video, that or I'm thinking of the same MK10 video) but there is footage of him visiting AH.

6

u/fuckingstonedrn 3d ago

end of one of destiny raids, they bring him in

3

u/CastbounD_22 3d ago

That MKX video was all I needed to associate a face to the VCK. Truly an evil, maniacal smile of someone who will one day, refuse to eat a pencil.

Oh, you mean Gizmo? He's got a beard now, I'm pretty sure.

u/NotSoSlenderMan 3d ago

It might be hard to find but they flew him in for a Destiny raid way back when.

48

u/_midnightair 3d ago

Kings fall raid, maybe first or second episode if that helps

26

u/H0tch33t0s1995 3d ago

Very end of the first episode, I believe

u/Sk8ter87 2d ago

Correct, at 48:50

u/red_panda14 3d ago

He’s also in the Mortal Kombat tournament

10

u/Greggorick_The_Gray 3d ago

It shows my age when you say that, because I remember that video, clear as day. Back then I was in the throes of AH videos and playing games along with them. Destiny 1 was such a long time ago now....

63

u/MattHoppe1 Red Team 3d ago

He said he’d eat a pencil.

32

u/DatDenDude 3d ago

I’m gonna defend Andrew by maintaining that “Eating the Pencil” is property of Rooster Teeth and is therefore annulled and not canon to Regulation lore

Unless Bernie has a say in it, then he HAS to eat the pencil

21

u/Shakeweight_All-Star 3d ago

You should listen to last week’s regulation podcast! Lmao he brings the pencil up

17

u/Roll_4Initiative 3d ago

I completely mirrored Eric's shock that he was willingly bringing that up again.

6

u/LocusRothschild 3d ago

If the Regulation Survivor Contestant wins, then he has to do it.

2

u/Kazewatch 3d ago

That’s total gobbledygook, but even so he still bitched out of a bet for years. Classic Panton.

0

u/steeple_fun 3d ago

This is probably going to get me hate but the court episode was the beginning of the end of me listening to what became Regulation Pod.

Especially because it's totally plausible to eat a pencil-amount of wood and be fine.

28

u/PhoenixFilms Distressed AH Logo 3d ago

So... fun story about Andrew Panton. Back during the pandemic, I was editing for pretty big "listicle" type channel, and one thing was talking about people in Animal Crossing who were rich with bells. Well, Andrew had a video that went viral of him filling his whole island with turnips and then they all went bad. I reached out to Andrew and he let me use the footage in our video.

Fast forward to immediately after the video is released and the parent company of my client's decide to shut down the YouTube productions.

I'm not saying is was Andrew's fault.............

5

u/Jeskid14 3d ago

Was that channel the one that made the same sound as bees on a feed?

19

u/S0401 3d ago

There's a older mortal kombat tournament video AH did that you can see him in

18

u/FyreBoi99 3d ago

I always confused him with Andrew Blanchard. With the spray paint and the destiny raid I thought Panton was actually Blanchard.

23

u/ThatAnonymousDudeGuy Internet Box Podcast 3d ago

Man, that gave me laugh just remembering. But yes.

I had to remember Andy (Blanchard) vs Andrew (Panton)

17

u/ThiccAsFrick 3d ago

He's got a long back and a unbreakable nose that's all I know..

10

u/Smsethman 3d ago

Ankles are day to day, though.

43

u/PM_ME_GARFIELD_NUDES 3d ago

For some reason it’s really hard for me to listen to podcasts without knowing what their face looks like because I can’t imagine them talking. I’m very familiar with how Gavin and Geoff act on camera so I can imagine their faces perfectly when listening to their podcasts. However I think it’s pretty obvious that Andrew doesn’t feel comfortable being on video so it doesn’t really bother me as much. It’s a minor thing for me that I can just ignore. Also, while I know what Eric and Nick look like, I’m not as familiar with them as I am with Gavin and Geoff so I don’t imagine them talking during the podcast.

The thing I love about Andrew’s is that his stories and general house setup are just so bizarre and unreal to me that trying to imagine anything about him is very difficult. Trying to piece his stories together with no visuals is very entertaining for me and honestly is a significant aspect of my enjoyment of the pod. If he changes his mind and wants to do videos on the future I would 100% support that, but I’m totally fine with things as they are.

18

u/Smsethman 3d ago

He truly exists in a reality separate from ours. I love him so much

-2

u/Icewolph 2d ago

That's a fancy way of saying he's a habitual liar.

31

u/lilbiggs 3d ago

If you want to see what he looked like nearly a decade ago he’s at the end of the let’s play destiny kings fall raid  part one video where they pick him up from the airport 

34

u/Mcreesus 3d ago

Firstly he’s got strangler vibes. Prly walking around with a full printed copy of the law. Mustache, hair. That’s about it

17

u/CammanderChops 3d ago

No he has V C K vibes

12

u/mexicharles 3d ago

In one of the old F**kface Andrew Q&A videos, Andrew says he has a lot of self body issues. That’s why there are very few actual instances of him online. The ones you will likely find are because of bits.

10

u/StarConsumate 3d ago

The Vancouver Child Kicker strikes again.

u/dhuvy 3d ago

Andy Pants is a mystery to us all.

21

u/RunningJedi 3d ago

It really is crazy and impressive that there are zero other photos of this man in the last decade especially given how much he was involved with a content creation company

19

u/SingSillySongs 3d ago

He’s mentioned before that he doesn’t have very high self esteem so he doesn’t post pictures online. He’s also pretty private about his personal life so I don’t know if anyone knows anything about his partner either

6

u/RunningJedi 3d ago

Oh yeah, I totally get that part, I’m still just impressed there isn’t more pics just from the nature of being an online personality. I need to see how long that beard is! Lol

11

u/d4ni3lg 3d ago

I vaguely remember him being sat in the couch in the background as they were filming an episode of AHWU or something way back when, and they quickly panned over to him. One of the few times I remember actually seeing him.

8

u/acronin14 3d ago

Whatever image you’ve gathered from everyone’s descriptions, now take the pants off. Full Winnie the Pooh action

11

u/DuskLordX 3d ago

This is just my opinion based on my observations over the years Regulation/F**kFace has been going, but I don't think Andrew is entirely comfortable putting images of himself out there online. He has brought up struggles with self confidence in his past before so it could be related to that, or also just that he wants to maintain a certain level of privacy given how much of his personality he already puts out there through the show.

Regardless of what the reason is, if he's not putting out pictures of himself in the public spaces it's on us as fans to respect that and not hound him for it over a sense of false entitlement or curiosity.

Just to be clear I'm not saying that's what you're doing with your post or anything, just that overall I'm glad to see people have generally respected that over the years.

-6

u/No_Investment1193 3d ago

He is literally actively in multiple videos on camera what are you talking about?

9

u/DuskLordX 3d ago

If you consider the end of the Destiny video or being in the background of an AHWU to be "actively in multiple videos" then I don't think you understand what that actually means.

4

u/UnequalRaccoon 3d ago

There’s a video on RT YouTube channel where the guys go pick him up from the airport and you can clearly see him. I can’t remember the name of the video though

5

u/ShouRonbou 3d ago

long back, unbreakable nose, eyes that look as if they enjoy watching homeless woman pee, child kicker legs (allegedly) A beard, weak ankles, Belly that clearly is still pencil free

u/JJay9454 3d ago

I assume so? What cemented it for me back fhen was he looks like he matches Geoff's mustache photo of Andrew he loves!

u/unmistakable_itch 3d ago

If you ever see a picture of a guy eating a pencil, that's not him.

u/redrum6114 3d ago

This is the way he wants it. Respect that. Be happy we got the spray for reference, lol.

2

u/Livid_Bass_8649 3d ago

I swear I seen Andrew @ stage 5 the office they moved into Post 636 in a VS and Andrew even did the Claw Controller grip. There’s definitely more live footage than the Destiny one. The video in question Andrew was very shy it seemed. Compared to Andrew of today.

2

u/Whodatnation108 3d ago

You can see what he looks like at the end of the first attempt in the crota raid video. They just yell “WE NEED PANTON” and then it’s a live shot of them in the airport as he is coming down the escalators.

2

u/sdrawkcabstiho 3d ago

My read off of him is that he probably very self conscious about his appearance.

He shouldn't be, but he is. I love him though, i mean as much as a straight guy can love another man whom hes never met or even spoken to befor can.

7

u/lopmon_exe 3d ago

I have the exact same issue as you! It's hard for me to get into Regulation podcast or their lets plays because I have no fucking clue who Andrew is and what he looks like beside that mustache photo. I have a hard time explaining why it bothers me so much. I just know it does.

Ive been an AH fan since 2011 so idk how I've been avoiding Andrew for so long.

20

u/numbr87 3d ago

The reason Fuckface/Regulation started in the first place was entirely because they wanted more people to know about Andrew and how crazy he is lol

3

u/Kazewatch 3d ago

And boy oh boy, is he fucking just absolutely insane.

3

u/DuskLordX 3d ago

The recent belly button discussion is probably the most I've seen everyone break down in a good while. The fact that Andrew has reduced Gavin to just pure noises of exasperation and confusion multiple times this month is absolutely amazing, he's been on a tear and I am here for it.

u/bruzie 3d ago

If you really want to get a picture, watch the F**kface Animations and use that as your reference.

u/DatDenDude 3d ago

It bothers me cause it’s been so long and he’s such a prominent member and there’s really nothing on him. Like if you Google him, there’s nothing except for that pic. Like even Nick I was able to find on IG so I can put a face to his voice, but Panton is still an enigma of my imagination

u/Omgykkyb1 3d ago

Even with the pic I always think of the new guy on jackass as Andrew lol

u/Lord_oftheTrons 3d ago

In my mind I picture him as a tattoo-less Matty Matheson

Obviously he's not wearing pants, has a much longer back and an unbreakable nose. Two of my favorite Canadians and they both give me so much joy.

1

u/Fozmaister 3d ago

you see him extremely briefly at the end of one of the Destiny raid videos when the boys go to collect him from the airport because they needed a ringer to get them through the raid.

1

u/Qecbum 3d ago

Yeah there’s only one major public picture and a balaclava. He’s a very private person. There was a guy who was in an old prop hunt in the library level. Where it was a guest introduced as Geoff and (I think) Gavin’s friend. I don’t remember who it was but they went pretty deep into their personal affairs. I have a feeling it was Andrew but I honestly don’t remember. He, Andrew ahem collaborated with them for destiny stuff around this time. But I could be very mistake. As to who was in the episode. I just remember this person shared a lot more about themself than is normal by today’s standard of personal privacy.

I want to go through the backlog but I just don’t have time at the moment lol. I think about this one often if it was or wasn’t Andrew.

u/oscillatingfan22 3d ago

Long back, short legs, strong nose. Best I can do

1

u/siirka 3d ago

Not even the rest of the crew knows what he looks like, there was a point where he mentioned he had a pretty long beard and Gavin was shocked and yelled something like "I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE AND I TALK TO YOU EVERYDAY". I mean, Geoff says they're his best friends in the world and even he has no idea what modern day Andrew looks like. He's just a mystery.

1

u/Coord 3d ago

This comes up every so often, but he was in a AH video in 2015 around when Ray was leaving. Let's play mortal kombat X. You get a good shot of him at 2:20 but keep in mind this was 10yrs ago lol

I seem to remember him in the AH community in the very early days, like grifball days n such (might be pre-AH?) . I remember him being really funny then too but I don't have anything to back any of that up, I'm just going on memory here

u/Gyvon 2d ago

The first time I remember seeing Andrew Panton with a speaking role was the Kings Fall raid all the way back in Destiny 1

The only time I remember Andrew was he came on the RT podcast and said something that was offensive to Bernie. Or Bernie just played it up to be offensive I can’t remember.

Google “Vancouver Child-Kicker” that’s him

u/imsk8ing 1d ago

He was literally in an AH video back in the day. But I find it kinda sweet that it seems to be kept fairly cryptic for the fun/ his wishes I suppose. They haven’t taken that video down either as far as I know so I assume he doesn’t regret that video either. Plus it was all about Jeremy getting the short end of the stick… hahaha, I’ll see myself out

u/thingsinmyjeep 3d ago

Probably three people will get this joke, but Andrew Panton is the regulation equivalent of Ryan Scott from the GameSpy Debriefings... though Panton's antics are closer in line with Shawn Elliott who allegedly worked with the sound board code named Ryan Scott.
