0:51 topic you present it funny okay yeah let's go what is it it was just genuinely a question of like what was you guys' first first viral video and how did it come to be damn that's a good question I don't know if that's a really good question you know you know you know why it's cuz I don't remember that's why it caught me off guard I I know mine I guess cuz it was kind of like around the start of like posting but it was when uh I did like a head spin and then hit the bowling ball and I got a strike oh I remember that clip that one went pretty viral and then I ended up going on Jay Leno for it you did you got Jay Leno for that what the [Music] ████ what's going on Che out my cards yeah it was yeah it

1:44 was literally they they wanted to do uh at first they wanted me to do it again on the show yeah that's crazy but then they didn't have time so then and then they were going to give me a a bowling shirt that was like upside down and then they didn't have time either so then they just they just give me a Roy Hawaiian gift card oh that's cool Roy Hawaiian I got engaged there Roy Hawaiian that's where you got engaged that's where I got engaged wow it's a fine restaurant it's it's shut down now heck yeah it was a nice place though yeah it was nice yeah but yeah Roy's white gone I never ate there Pasadena that was close there's one in Hawaii too the one in Hawaii got shut down oh that's is closed now it's a Chinese restaurant so it's just all closed I think so Roy was called Hawaiian Fusion was like one of the first places

2:35 with Fusion in the title of the restaurant was kind of rare but yeah that was my the video it was called most impossible bowling trick and then that one was like early YouTube though early YouTube yeah yeah that was crazy yeah that's it I'm just trying to F went viral so many times you guys are so super viral that I'll go you guys are all super viral um so uh my first and this is a taste of viral at that time so it's don't don't don't knock on me cuz it wasn't big all right but uh I started uploading to YouTube in 2005 and as Anthony or as the kjas oron yeah was my YouTube channel head Floy no no master like that and I did a a a Chris Brown like parody remake music

3:25 video to um yo oh good guess oh you remade the whole video I just did it my own parody way no no I didn't do a c scene I did my own choreography and then I did like there's even a part where like it does there's like a remix breakdown in the Middle where it does let the bodies hit the floor cuz there's this whole story in between there and then I like I get head from like my side chick type it's a whole okay very like did you throw your main chick down the stairs no but at the time genuinely in 2005 YouTube like it wasn't about like content you were I we genuinely we filmed it in 4 hours we edited in 4 hours uploaded that night so after 8 hours and we genuinely were just trying to cuz I was a film major so I had gear that I rented out or borrowed from like the school of humanities and whatnot so I was like let me use this ████ and let's shoot something funny with my dance team and we did that and

4:17 we this was still the time frame and mentality of like let's just share this with our friends and get a laugh and so legitimately when we uploaded it everybody like went about their separate ways and then when there was like like 50 or 100 views we were like yo dude like it's crazy like our homies are watching it who watched it two times you would literally sit there who watched it two three times right I remember it getting to like 500 views and then people starting to get like really confused cuz this is like YouTube like post e-bombs World era like YouTube was just like you didn't know YouTube was a social thing you thought it was the next mega upload but you could see the video exactly we didn't know true so I'm actually fairly confident I might be like the First YouTube dancer lowkey oh wow YouTube yeah I think so I actually do think I I was cuz I remember even kept jump being like yo one your video

5:09 inspired me to start doing YouTube and then he was like if you would have kept up with it and then this is when he was ████ you would have been a millionaire like me but so many people surpassed you already that's what he said yeah I thought you were going to say those videos when you started throwing ████ and going like this no that was a totally different viral era that was hilarious but um is it still on YouTube can people see it yeah but at that point uh eventually got to like 150,000 views which at that time was just ████ wild in 2005 that time that's almost everybody using it yeah and then I was I was uh I remember I became a staffer for spop which is a student parent orientation program for incoming freshman at UCI and then you know just it's like a three 3-day weekend orientation for incoming freshman I remember we're like in the in the cafeteria just like having a meal and some random dude comes up to me an

5:59 incoming freshman's like yo you're the guy from the Chris Brown video and I was like what and that just tripped me out I was just not ready for somebody outside of my realm to have seen it and then I was like like on YouTube he's like yeah I was like how did you see it he's like that was played at our high school pep rally oh ████ and I tripped out and at first a part of me was like is there like a copyright thing about this should I get some money dude yeah I should sue you and like honestly you brother by the what the ████ dude and I'm a sue Chris Brown too you know who I am I just got super confused cuz it was a joke video where literally like a girl gives me head and it anyways but the point is like I remember that being like the at Cypress High School got the loudest of wow so imagine like a high school that I'm even familiar with ████

6:50 played it at a high school pep rally and I was like Anon that's it was an flon at totally forgot about that name but you know what I'm talking about that's like old school YouTube name that was your name now go ahead and talk about your 50 million view non I I should go laugh oh I had the biggest number I'll go last I'll go last hey it has to be before Steve Green comedy though I don't think I went viral before Steve Green comedy right oh shut up well if I did you know I already know your ████ stop I know you act you know he spies on everything it was like other people BL music video thing no that that got more popular later we drove the traffic to that one

7:41 you probably have viral videos before your own channel like yeah no so I did totally sketch for a long time and that's probably in in the station sketch from you dude in the station remember totally sket remember a specific video title because it was all so named like Valentine's Day One what was this okay if it wasn't your first viral that you can't remember well was the one that I'm not even being a s████████ it's just the titles were so like I don't know what you say not unspecific it was like they were they were catering girl hot girl it was like old school algo style yeah you can't remember a title name yeah was there one that stood out to you though as like being like a game changer for oh yeah so I did a Jenna Marbles music video where I'm in the music video and I'm doing like I do I do a face of a guy who's coming in like a porn video cuz like to me it's always funny when they cut to a guy in a porn video and he's

8:31 coming cuz to see that face why did they do that it's probably because they didn't have any other footage to cut to yeah so they had to cut away from something that went wrong maybe the girl started pooping or something and then they cut to the guy's face and the guy's just like like you or whatever and I did I did that ████ in a general marbles music video and I remember driving in the middle of the ████ I don't know dude godamn all over Hollywood and I was driving to Jenna's place and I had met her one time before that and then I went to her place and Mike was there and like we were just setting up and ████ and I met her and it was just kind of like everyone was cool and stuff and then we started filming in her garage and it was ████ hot and we're all sweating our asses off and then like I did that video and you just don't think about anything after that cuz like I knew Jenna Marbles was a name all stuff but I didn't I didn't I was

9:21 too in the comedy world like of like improv stuff I didn't know who was the hottest people and who wasn't so like I would see Shane Dawson I would see like ████ Jenna I would see all these people and I just would never put it together not because I'm so cool it's just I didn't understand this world yet you know what I mean like it just was like meaning people so you're just talking to everybody like regular people just regular people and then um yeah and then I heard started I guess that video got uploaded I didn't know exactly when except that I started hearing from people who I went to high school with who were like you're in a video with General Marvels that's so cool like what the ████ that's crazy I'm like you know her I just met her that's crazy and I'm not even being a s████████ or even doing the bit that I do here I was just I just didn't even know that people knew that that's pretty tight yeah it was tight so then that was probably the first thing I was your first one was making ████ phases yeah well I was in J Marvel's music

10:11 music video called Bounce that dick because she was making fun of like how everyone always wants chicks to shake their asses so she's like I want guys to bounce that dick or whatever and so like pretty hey what's up guys just in case you have seen some of these lovely pieces on some of our gentlemen here these awesome Jade pendants or you may have seen the recent JK Adventure where we went to J Jewelers just remember that the sale is on now if you want to visit the J jewelers.com mine to this day and with chester oh yeah he's the best he's in my fantasy football league he ████ sucks at Fantasy though only picks pack he only picks Packers is

11:52 I was like that was pretty funny and then I uploaded it I went to San Diego to see my family and like we went to the um San Marcos theater in San Diego and people outside were like Bang Bus prank Bang Bus prank and I was like this is never happened to before it was that weekend oh ████ it was going viral during that time I hit refresh the next day after uploading it cuz you know how like it used to when you upload something it went to 303 back then yeah and it got stuck I remember that remember so when I uploaded it it went to 303 and that's it you go to bed you don't know what the ████ going on I woke up the next morning 1.2 million oh what god dude the sharability on that was insane dude so good though well and then um such a good yeah and then and what and the the coolest thing about it too is we just got one guy and then we bailed I should have if I was smarter I

12:43 would have just kept on getting more guys but I was like dude that was such a perfect video interaction I don't want to stretch it too hard 15 episodes well I I know but I didn't want that guy to start warning people I was thinking too technically about it back back then but now knowing how to stretch a thing and how budget works and ████ like that like now I know more like oh you should have mined that whole day that you had with those me with the ████ yeah you know you never know but no seeing people in San Marcos be like wow bang bu prank I was like that's never happened to me before yeah that's TI hey prank was it sex and probably PL gon seexual is still the most viral thing to me that you've done I think so but they deleted it yeah but but it lives in its era the BL naked one yeah it had 600 million views before million views that's why you hate the woke Mob Of course exactly well actually

13:34 it's not even the woke mob it's the advertisers who like apocalypse no it's the Christian advertising can't you just like upload it again today yeah I could I mean I don't know can we just it's out there already you want our Channel I don't want to get hurt I don't want the channel to get hurt let's upload it on X exactly upload on Rumble but then it won't get that's that's just one of the videos that I just remembered so many people telling me I had to see it and I was like I seen it bro and they're like no look again yeah that one went everywhere people were like talking about everybody knew ry's a big horn dog dude I told you guys that at Disney at Disney I was at Disney with Nikki one time and this kid CU looked to me he's like sex in public prank on sexual I was like what the ████ he's like you he's like the whole did you really have sex with those girls and I was like no no I didn't you idiot you

14:25 shouldn't be able to watch this stuff he's like a 9-year-old yeah he's like a little kid and his dad walks up did you really have sex with like H at that time how do you not get the bit did you you didn't see well well no he's 13 but yeah fair fair if there weren't any other people that were satirizing that exact thing everyone was still making that thing but not as a joke so then that stuck out so much cuz everybody's like dude this guy's ████ making fun of it already and people are still trying to get the other one to work that's the thing that was like unique about it like damn he's ████ on it well it's because everybody was doing it for real uploading to like porn places he was doing it and uploading to YouTube I remember some I remember some guy I remember some guy when I uploaded that the guy was like oh people there's a real site that does this on the gay community and I'm like I don't care oh not that yeah he got mad send me the

15:17 link but send me the link it's crazy that like think of it this way it's like if scary movie came out at during the time of scream to it's like that he was already doing gon seexual as a satire when people were still doing G seexual real like oh look at me and this fake chick gold digger prank ████ at the same time you know what I mean like usually used to piss me off so much that's what really inspired exactly but then that's like it's early too and it's also done well I thought that ████ was real especially the bit of how like how you walk up and like the way you approach them like hey like you want have sex with me no I was like you want to ████ but that's how that's why they thought it was real cuz they weren't even ready for the parody yet work she's like yeah okay it doesn't even that ████ doesn't even never work in the most horny places think of the most horny place on the Earth it doesn't work hey want to ████ it doesn't work but the fact that there's so many ████ idiot small brain dudes out there who are like oh

16:07 ████ it's kind of ████ fire dude the security guy comes up he ████ you too no I started eating his butt she this ████ blurry ass cuz he was he was cool with the first couple parts he was pissed he like he was up in off about that one do you think that do you think that guy's like I don't know if this is is real [Laughter] now yeah that was a good one man what was JK's first viral video it had to be well this wasn't JK yet but I think it was Uncle Sam gets Jack but that was on Bart's Channel and then the follow-up clubbing 101 I think that's yeah yeah cuz the cuz the ones that we did um I did a video called um uncle chin has a sad day yeah and it was just like got

16:58 the title was Mr was on Mr Chin 45 I have I think it's still up it's called Mr Chin 45 and I just drew a face and I did the upside down thing oh I saw that and I was like I have a sad day and I was talking about how my dog died and I sent the video to Bart you go like this with this chin to show that he was sad and then the eyes went like that yeah and then and then um this was like back then when you said we were just using it like to send to each other like a video file like we didn't know that there was an audience literally viewable mega upload lit yeah yeah and then and then cuz it was revolutionary right cuz it was viewable you could stream like the video so someone didn't have to download it yeah so I sent that to BART BART sent me back ████ Uncle Sam gets jacked and that was hilarious and then later on we're like damn there's a lot

17:48 of views what the ████ and then you know everyone's like catching on to it and that's when we made JK films cuz I was like we got to ████ do something together we'll create some characters and then will start talking in the camera like this and that was it and then you know what's crazy it was like right after that video it almost instantly one video after the other there was a following yeah that's cool and we just started creating different characters like cholos and your character that takes me out the hardest is still this ████ nerdy white guy you made up who's like Virgil Virgil the Virgin yes that guy it doesn't that sounds the furthest from your real voice to me that ████ sounds weird that guy was the uh he was a passport bro before the he was a ████ wee before the word wee you still do the

18:39 voice I think so I don't know it is like that yeah yeah that is very different but he has that personality of like the Fedora nerd like yeah yeah yeah he's a fedora [Music] nerdit the best what does he say doing this again pocket watch Checkers booah booah booah that to me I can never forget that ████ dude that was was that where was that from is that when he get accents are sexy when University classroom or some ████ because you used a ████ ugly ass weird accent and then the the girl still liked it your normal English one and you were just like booah but I was in Virgil at that time no me like I played myself that was viral yeah you yeah it's Bart with an English accent asking where the restroom is and then you try to copy that thinking back though what was crazy is like once one video Hit we just won

19:29 after the other there was a following for it which is really rare like online right like how usually it's like you have a one hit wonder and then you have to grind out and make another video well the early days was so different because there's just so many ████ eyeballs looking for Content whereas now there's so many fragmented eyeballs and people didn't know that they could be content creators exactly they were just like oh I guess guess they got it and how many people were you really subscribed to back that not that many not many and and a lot of them were very unimpressive for the era but also it was hard like if you think about when we all started right we were we had to have camera like camera equipment like cam corridors or we would have to go rent it like from a school or like a camera store and they be tapes that you need to convert into digital files yep the DV

20:21 and all that the fact that you can do all this now I just don't know how to get started like how do I start I'm like are you kidding me brother they got ████ lens kits for your phone dude legit man dude Nikki bought came home with a gimbal yesterday for 600 bucks she comes home with a gimbal it's this ████ thing that like you could turn any which way you want it's steady cam cuz it gimbles like it's on the space station or some ████ I'm like compared to where we started with those and then where we started and then eventually what became the evolution which was those ████ Vlog cameras with the red button on them yeah vertical one this is just so absolutely insane that like it's mindblowing yeah once cam $600 for the gimi cam that would have been like ████ s Grand when we were coming at you know what I mean was your video the Sketcher commercial one the SK

21:13 the Sketcher commercial what you talking about the one where you talking about sketch oh no that's the one I made of you yeah yeah the probably the one is the the Jitsu one the jitu one what's the one where you do a back Spin cick and you're like this is how you fight that's how you fu fight I want talk about that that one no we watched it remember David would talk about how like we did this promo for like a fight like a amateur fight I did like yeah did a back spin kick and I look at the camera like I'm fighting at freaking I'm a fighter at Pass New California like my dream Nick project is to do a cartoon that is like you guys remember the Chuck Norris cartoon yeah where he would give you a moral after the show it would be like Nick's karate Commandos or some ████ and it's like starring Nick as the leader of the karate group or whatever the ████ and they do secret missions for the US government and then at the end of the at

22:03 the end of the episode Nick would be like punch you back and' be like oh hey what we learned today was friendship got us through that way well always eat always make sure you eat your vegetables with all your meals the best can we just have Nick do all JK ad reads from now this video is brought to you by I break a board are you feeling sad well well maybe you should check out better help therapy has always been really helpful for me and I think it'd be I use audible.com what's the video you're when you're training sometimes you just want to learn and and read read some books but when you're busy training you you got to you got to listen to them what's the um video where you're talking about total daily energy expenditure that one was that one hooked me that one that one hooked you huh thanks man thanks for subscribing my channel yeah right thanks to Hell hella fresh I don't
