Hadel grew up in Kansas and began his animation career by uploading Adobe Flash animations to Newgrounds, later transitioning to YouTube. He was enrolled at the university to study graphic design, but left after a few months. An animator who was self-taught, Hadel claimed that television shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, The Simpsons and South Park had inspired his style of animation. His animated videos quickly became well-known online, such as his animated video about "arrow in the knee", a meme taken from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that went viral in 2011. Hadel co-created the internet-based cartoon series Hellbenders together with Chris O'Neill (a Newgrounds animator). Adult Swim picked the show, but they didn't follow through. Hadel also worked with O'Neill to make an animated short video mocking the Kony documentary of 2012. The video went viral, receiving more than 1.7 million views in its first weekend. Hadel was also a member of SleepyCabin, a comedy and discussion podcast that was hosted by former Newgrounds animators. His YouTube channel psychicpebbles had 1.5 million subscribers by April 2022 and 208.4 millions views.
