He entered a preparatory class for business schools in Nancy, passed the entrance exam for the business school of Dijon, and obtained a master of business administration (MBA) from California State University.

Back in France, he was named "head of comedy content" at Dailymotion. This position earned him his first appearance at the Montreux Comedy Festival in 2011. He launched the concept of sketches based on PowerPoint presentations, an idea that came to him while preparing his presentations during his semester in the United States. In 2012, he returned to the Festival de Montreux and met the actress Aude Gogny-Goubert, who played with him in his first YouTube video titled "Rompre a l'aide d'un PowerPoint". The same year, he launched his one-man-show "PowerPoint Comedy" (first named "Psychologie").

From 17 April 2014, he participated in the program On n'demande qu'a en rire on France 2, where he was noticed by the jury and viewers for the originality of his sketches. On 16 January 2016, he set himself the goal of posting one video per day on his channel for a month, which greatly increased his fame. In 2018, then in 2021, Pierre Croce was accused of having taken advantage of his fame and of having sexually harassed two underage subscribers at the time of the events.
