WELCOME TO THE WILD SIDE!
Hey there! I'm Primal Instinks, and this is the official website for The No Deo Hero. I'm an alternative individual filming alternative content for a like-minded community, and my anti-mainstream show is independently operated by me. I specialize in my own style of humor and athletics, and I also strive to strengthen and inspire others with my open and interactive vlogs.
I enjoy filming videos for a living and an artistic outlet, and my excitement in this hobby grew after my channel was discovered by a loyal cult following who love the esoteric content I produce. Many of these fans became patrons who began requesting me to film custom videos as a fun way to support me, and I continue offering the opportunity of video commissions to this day. I also offer paid access to watch behind-the-scenes extras detailed on this website and sell my personally-worn clothing as an exclusive offer to fans interested in financially supporting my show. |
On YouTube, I film retro-scripted comedy skits and regularly update several other playlists which make up my channel as a whole. I'm renowned for my breath-holding talent, where I athletically push my oxygen limit to the max (my longest personal record is 5 minutes and 36 seconds!) and for my simulated stompdown videos, where I pretend to jump my audience for a random reason; a dramatized act which was inspired by Godzilla and the printer-smashing scene from the movie Office Space. I also film workouts at my home gym and other entertaining acts my fans enjoy.
Here's some artwork of my show's mascot demonstrating some of what you'll see on my channel. His name is Cheesus Brodent, and he's basically a satirical rat version of me: a primal punk with a lean, natural body free of hygiene products!
My channel is also known for the creation of two hybrid sports I filmed with my friends: one is called "brethling," which is a form of jiu-jitsu where you win by restricting your opponent's oxygen supply in order to weaken them and then get them to tap out with a wrestling hold, and the other is "battle broyale," a combination of boxing and grappling where you bop each other with boxing gloves and try to tap each other out using submission holds.
Here's artwork I commissioned of my mascot Cheesus getting bested in a brethling match by his werewolf pal!

My channel name may be catchy and happen to rhyme, but it's no joke: I don't use deodorant on account of my natural outlook on life, and I named my show after this fact for self-deprecating humor. Because of how open I am about my unique identity, as well as the supportive vlogs I film encouraging others to be open and accepting about themselves, I've had fans tell me they look up to me like a hero, and I humbly accepted their title and named my channel The No Deo Hero in honor of it. It was originally titled "The No Deo Duo" in honor of a close friend I filmed with in the beginning, but I updated it after he got married and moved on in life.
A prominent theme of my show is body odor-related humor, which includes funny and gross scenarios like "the stinkpit" and "stinkshoe trivia." Of course I had to commission a digital artist for artwork of those too!

The main inspirations for my content are the daring antics of the Jackass crew and the gross humor of The Ren & Stimpy Show. I was also inspired by the stomping and roaring action of Godzilla, the random skits and songs of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, the improvised character comedy of prankster Richard Christy, my favorite video games, parody and satire in shows such as Futurama and South Park, and silly cartoons with slapstick effects like Looney Tunes.
For my vlogs and core message, inspiration comes from prominent subcultures and counterculture movements of the beats (beatniks) of the 50's, the hips (hippies) of the 60's, and the punks of the 70's. I aim to tear down the outdated stigmas of society that confused me while I was growing up and struggling to understand my alternative identity, and to strengthen, empower, and educate anyone else who could use a relatable voice and leader for alternative communities.
I'm punk in spirit (punk rat Primal!) and created a mascot for my show in that aesthetic who's a cartoon rat with stereotypical qualities based off of me, and this was inspired by anthropomorphic TV shows like the ones mentioned above as well as Rocko's Modern Life and BoJack Horseman. My hairstyle is also a mohawk, and in DIY fashion, I'm my own barber.
The categories of my YouTube channel include quirky comedy (parody, satire, and improvised banter); athletic competition (weight-lifting, breath-holding contests, and endurance challenges); eccentric entertainment (stompdown videos, stinkpit and shoe-smelling skits, and barefoot and deodorant-free living); and identity (open and interactive vlogs about being yourself and accepting what you like as long as it's harmless).

Testimonials from my Awesome Fans
"Happy to support your work - an unabashed, candid celebration of an honest human experience. You shine a light on natural male bonding antics and expressions of animalistic wiring that are often shamed or not openly shared.
Thanks for sharing your life and talent. I admire your bravery & commitment to being yourself."
"The No Deo Hero is about being yourself no matter the judgement or discrimination you get. The creator of the channel expresses his individuality in unique ways. But he also shows care towards the fans and even makes fan commissions for them."
"Congrats dude! Guys like you inspire me to never wear deo (haven't in years) and skip showers regularly. Keep on stinking up whatever room you're in!"
"Hey Primal! Really huge fan. Love all the stink-related stunts that you do. I always think of it as some kind of spinoff to Jackass. You really do have a lot of things going on for you. And if you wanna know a secret, I never wore deodorant before I started watching you. Anyway, love ya, you’re awesome, and remember, not all superheroes wear capes (or deodorant)."
"I just had to reach out and say thank you for being brave enough to post the videos you have regarding shoe-sniffing. I seriously thought I was the only one who wondered what their friends shoes smelled like.
Being straight, this desire always confused me and I was embarrassed about it and buried this deep down. Since your videos, I have built up enough courage to ask my friends in a nonchalant way to sniff their shoes and they've been extremely kind and receptive to it - and I feel like I have you to thank for that!
Thank you again for making me feel like I'm not alone and that this is an 'okay' thing to do."
"I have mad respect for you! You are clear, concise, and heartfelt. I really believe that the whole world needs to hear this message. You have so much resolve. Your emotional moments are especially touching.
Honestly, I have been subscribed to your channel for quite some time and when I'm in a tough place, I pop on one of your comedic videos and just laugh out loud.
You are so genuine and that is a trait hard to find because lots of folks are acquiescing to the latest fad. You are clearly surrounded by those who love you and in my book that is the biggest blessing.
Keep being you! Thank you!"
"I'm glad to see you're still upbeat and energetic in light of all the recent stresses and such. It's nice to see you always bouncing back and maintaining a positive outlook and lifestyle. It gives me energy to do the same and get through everything!
Identity can be a struggle sometimes, but you show people that you can still be yourselves despite whatever issues we face! We're bound to be facing problems either way, so why not be ourselves while we get through them, right?"
"I feel like you are super in touch with and aware of what makes you happy, so the people that'll offer the same back will find you. And however-the-hell it is that I came to have YouTube recommend your channel, I’m glad it did because I certainly see that I have a thing or two to learn. Keep it up! It’s obvious in the comments that you are positively affecting others, and that’s the best way to live life!"
"First of all, huge fan of everything here; love the creativity, the positive messaging, the healthy lifestyle, but most
of all, the friendship.
I read the bio of Primal Instinks and I noticed that he is asexual, not interested in dating, instead forming close friendships. I
wish there was more information about his asexuality because i think it would help people like me be more comfortable
with not dating and preferring friends over established relationship labels.
When I watch these videos, i laugh, cry and get turned on sometimes--so ultimately its a one-stop shop for me. I am so grateful for you and it is very nice to know that people like you exist and are not afraid to expose themselves online."
"I wanted to say that I appreciate your honest and caring discussions about loving the smell of feet and just being a terrific role model for young queer guys. I've been watching your videos ever since I was in college.
Your podcast episodes have significantly impacted me. They are often so moving and heartfelt. I like the open and honest discussions. It's nice to be seen."
"This channel has the most questionable content and I love it"
"I just want to say that I enjoy your videos and I am so sorry for the loss of your friends. I am proud of how open you are with yourself. It doesn't hurt that you're cute too lol. I am gay and also enjoy the smell of guys shoes. We also have a common passion for nature.
But anyway, stay strong you will keep meeting new and interesting people. It is an open story that will keep changing your life. Remember to keep being you, no matter what."
"I took a nose dive into your informative vids especially the podcast styles. Aw bud, if I could reach through the screen to give ya a hug I would. Specifically about the guys moving on.
I will say, you had the passion in your videos, above and beyond anyone else that you had filming. The heart of No Deo is definitely you."
"We all know that this is a comedy channel and is appropriate for all ages. There is nothing controversial about the content. Keep in mind that your subscribers know what this channel is about and will stay with you no matter what false allegations there are or what the haters say.
I think it takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there on YouTube for the whole world to see. I know I couldn't do that. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming!"
"At day's end, art is in the eye of the beholder. You are just trying to have fun, put a spin on classic styles of humor, and literally just live a free and open life full of laughter and joy...and you are gratefully showing us insights into the kind of humorous activities you partake in.
And regarding you, Primal, you're also helping anyone else who might already or want to share in your lifestyle choices by making people more aware of it, but doing so in a way that makes people want to be more accepting towards it."
"You set people free. You are a divine messenger of liberation. A therapist shaman chiropractor of the soul who disentangles our neurotic constrictions. You give us permission to be our true selves. We don’t need society’s approval anymore. We need yours. Your radical individuality works like a radiant magnet, attracting admirers, disciples, submissives. You are the real fucking deal."
"Wow you are selling your godly green sneakers? That is crazy; they were like a symbol of dominance and superiority.
Honestly love your content, I think it is so cool that you are being yourself and have given us weirdos the confidence to be proud of what we are. Even though that is just submissives, it's awesome that you are normalizing serving and being served so much. Really respect, awesome to see!
I hope you have a great evening and just shouting out that you are the best!"
"You have been there with content that helped lift me up when I was down. When I first followed your channel, I enjoyed the physical comedy, but over the years, I found myself appreciating getting to know who you are. I don't know if you realize how much you mean to so many of your followers, but we love you for you!"
