Hey, I been brewing up a
Rob vs OnlyCaleb section for the OP. Caleb was always one of the funnier trolls that Rob had dealt with in the past, and I think he is deserving of his own section. This can be shortened, edited however which way, I don't mind. I wanted to document this as much as possible. Caleb nuked his account on FB, and the posts listed here are actually from email notifications back when I was still on FDU. If anyone has that video of Rob talking about that "Deplorables" facebook group, definitely add it to this section since that would help out with context.
During the mid-2010s, one of Silent Rob’s most visible and eccentric fans was a young man known online as
OnlyCaleb—real name Caleb Bailey. Caleb became a fixture of Rob’s community during the “Face Destroyer Inc.” 2016-2020 era of the channel, frequently appearing in livestream chats under a Max Payne avatar and occasionally donating to streams.
His presence extended beyond simple live chat participation. In Rob’s first
“Silent Rob vs. The Internet” stream, Caleb submitted a deliberately absurd video clip through a donation of him saying "I'm a big of fan. And I wanna tell ya that I'm gonna rape ya." . The short, offbeat submission amused Rob and briefly cemented Caleb as a memorable personality within the fanbase.
Caleb was also highly active in Rob’s Facebook group,
Face Destroyers United (FDU), where his behavior quickly earned a reputation for being provocative. His posts often blurred the line between irony and antagonism. For example, in October 2017, he drew backlash for a now-deleted comment about the Las Vegas shooting in which he made a tasteless remark about surpassing the shooter’s death toll.
Around the same time, he launched a parody Facebook group titled
“Caleb Bailey is a Literal God”, adopting the persona of a cult leader and joking about overthrowing Rob as the “true” owner of the channel. While some members laughed it off as a joke, others found it unsettling.
Despite being an edgelord, Caleb was outspoken about his Christian faith, frequently posting about religion within FDU. Rob, who was not religious, eventually banned religious discussions to curb the behavior. Nevertheless, Caleb escalated his outreach by somehow obtaining Rob’s home address and mailing him a Bible—an act Rob regarded as intrusive. Rob can be seen briefly talking about this interaction when his mom showed up in the live chat in this stream in
06:30 & 07:45 -

Over time, Caleb’s behavior became increasingly parasocial. Other community members speculated that he was privately messaging Rob, and in 2019 he changed his surname on his Facebook profile from Bailey to
Lowe—a reference to Rob’s own last name. That same year, Rob endured a series of disruptive incidents during a livestream. While reacting to the notoriously bad film
The Amazing Bulk, his cell phone rang repeatedly with calls from an unrecognized number. After the stream, Rob revealed that the calls were from a delivery driver attempting to drop off a pineapple pizza—an order placed to his old apartment address. Rob believed the prank was an attempt to derail his stream, and later speculated that Caleb was behind it. He also accused Caleb of making disturbing phone calls to his mother, which reportedly left her shaken. Caleb never admitted responsibility for either incident, but the suspicions severely strained his relationship with Rob.
The tension came to a head when Caleb co-founded a spin-off Facebook group called
The Deplorables with other FDU members, including Nolan Shannon. The group became a space for airing grievances against Rob, mocking his strong opinions on games such as
Death Stranding and criticizing his appeals for donations to repair his Pontiac Fiero. Rob soon discovered the group, ridiculed it publicly in a dedicated video, and it dissolved shortly thereafter.
By mid-2020, Caleb—having renamed himself online again as
Caleb Danzig—abruptly deleted his Facebook account and disappeared from Rob’s orbit. He was not heard from again until February 2025, when Silent Rob himself deleted his channel following a widely publicized breakdown. Around that time, a user claiming to be Caleb resurfaced briefly on a Reddit page for the FDU community, posting a statement to “speak his truth.” In it, he denied harassing Rob’s mother years earlier. But without evidence to corroborate his claims—or even verify the poster’s identity—the matter remained unresolved, cementing Caleb’s legacy as one of the strangest and most polarizing figures in Silent Rob’s online community.
