I'm conflicted. On the one hand, this guy seems to outwardly be an annoying jerk who suddenly got rich by making undeniably dumb videos.
On the other hand, the people he's bothering are ultra-rich elites who are probably made their fortunes through far more dubious means.
I say, let him cause havoc, as long as he doesn't actually hurt anyone. These one-percenters deserve a little shaking-up.

Saying "what are those" is a meme? Why? How?

He sucks, but the complaints are the same old NIMBY complaints from the area. Highly typical. You live in central LA, not some quiet suburb somewhere.
I live about half a mile from that street, btw.

I'm 31 and I don't understand that at all.

Dave Chappelle referenced that meme when he hosted SNL 8 months ago.

The Paul brothers were among the few popular Viners that managed to survive after it died. I figured most of their audience is teenage girls who just want eye candy and dudes super into douchey fratbro culture.
Hardly surprising they are causing trouble but thats what happens when most young people are given a bunch of money and an inflated ego.

That would be King Bach and he seems to be a decent guy

There is nothing that makes me feel more old than these new Youtube trends.
Jesus, where have you been?
The guy sounds like an Andy Samberg character come to life.
Bizaardvark? I found out about that show when I was in line to get Jim Cummings autograph at D23 who I'm assuming were the stars of the show walked out to take pictures with people.
I just googled it. Looks like a meme from 2014 where you ask "what are those" about what shoes someone is wearing.

Something I've been wondering lately: just how famous is Youtube famous? It seems like every day there is some new random teenager coming out of the woodwork and getting millions of followers for inane pranks and whatever else gets millions of view these days. But there is an infinite supply of teenagers trying to get famous on the internet, so how many of these guys will find long term sustained success on a platform like Youtube?
I guess I'm wondering where are the annoying Paul brothers are going to be 15 years from now? Still making videos and getting millions of views? I have no idea. It's all still so new. It seems like trends on the internet are born and then die so quickly, it's crazy.

Even amongst white people that shit's old. Not even twenty-one and he's already Steve Buscemi.

White people are gonna latch onto the dab till the end times cos for once black people made a move that's easy enough to copy.
And even then most get it wrong
Ever heard of "Twitch", evidently people like to watch people pay games and speak in tongues

While he is undoubtedly being a dick to his neighbors, I can't imagine going from middle class to celeb through YouTube at that age. You can buy whatever you want, women love you, you're young, etc. Most people that age would not be able to handle all of that. Hopefully they will realize sooner rather than later they aren't the only people in the world.

Teenagers are incredibly susceptible to peer pressure and groupthink. You remember how rumours spread is fast in highschool? Think like but with the whole world instead of just your local school.

Sounds like a garden variety asshole who made it famous. Surprise he's obnoxious.
Do they have a deep lore or mythos?

Being that the first and only video I have seen of his, the one he posted yesterday with way too many views already, is a video of dozens of people at night screaming in his backyard as they constructed a giant waterslide made out of random materials.
Yeah, this guy can fuck off. If he is doing that type of shit every night - it would get old real fast as his neighbor.

corniest people on earth. and yeah, I like the Rock in small doses still but to hell with that cornball for making videos with these guys too.
its very much like the early days of broadcasting. except instead of making regional fanbases around cities and population centers, they're picking up a million people out of 8 billion and using that as an excuse to call themselves famous.
WHile true, the internet allows them to be as the poster said, mobilized. Back in the day you had to wait for a tv interview or a magazine to hear about a celeb. Now Kylie Jenner can go on Instagram, where a new shirt she ripped off and mobilize the fan base to buy it. Or with this Paul guy, he can get his base to get his song to the top of the charts, or god forbid send harassing letters to his neighbors by the truck load

Saw a kid on a bicycle on the corner while at the lights. Must have been like nine years old. Just as it went green for him he did a quick dab and rode onward.
I had a chuckle and wondered for how many other activities he would dab before continuing. Gotta reach his dab quota.
They are both like Acclaim comics but someone actually makes money off of them
