About

IShowSpeed "Green Apples" refers to YouTuber and streamer IShowSpeed's code word "green apple" or "green apples" to covertly tell to his cameraperson to end his IRL streams. IShowSpeed started saying "green apples" sometime in early to mid-2024. At first, the streamer was sneaky about it but as time went on, he was more blatant in saying it, becoming an inside joke within his fandom.

Origin

IShowSpeed started using code words to end his IRL streams in mid-2024. Other examples include "dark milk" and "Planet of the Apes."^[1]^[2] The code words and phrases were seemingly decided on before filming.

On May 14th, 2024, IShowSpeed went Live on YouTube^[3] in a stream called "irl nightlife in South Korea 🇰🇷" in which at the video's end, he looked at the cameraperson and repeated, "Green apples" (shown below). It is currently his first known usage of the code word.

Spread

On June 22nd, he used "green apple" to end his YouTube^[5] stream called, "Portugal 🇵🇹 vs Turkey 🇹🇷 EUROS irl" (shown below, right).
