00:00The largest YouTube Shorts creators like Zach D Films, Nick DiGiovanni, His Story, and Law by Mike

00:05didn't just spawn with millions of followers and billions of views. In fact, they all started with

00:09their very first short. But what did that short look like, and how long ago was it, and was it

00:12any good? Well, today I figured we'd answer that question by watching every YouTube Shorts creator's

00:16first YouTube short. But I won't be doing this alone because I brought my friend Hussein, who'll

00:20be watching these with us. So give him a big round of applause for being here. I'm super excited about

00:24this. And make sure to subscribe before we get into this. But now let's go ahead and do this.

00:27So the very first YouTuber we're going to be looking at is one of the most popular Shorts

00:30creators on the platform, and that is His Story, which is one of the newest YouTube Shorts

00:35channels. And I know that you've watched a good amount and that you guys have some good

00:39interaction going. But have you ever watched his first video? I actually have. Oh, you

00:44have. Okay. So this will be good for me. I mean, you already know, so don't spoil anything

00:48because I'm actually excited to watch this. You're in for a treat. All right. So it's called

00:51He Hurt My Dog. A teenager tortured my dog for fun. Wait, hold on. That's not even him.

00:57Oh, no, no. That's the teenager torture. I'm sorry. That's Chester. Oh, that's Chester.

01:01Don't get this guy out of my face. I don't want to see that. I want to see him. I

01:04won't

01:04pause. I won't pause and watch. My dog had gone missing for a few hours. Wait, okay, okay.

01:08Now I can pause because that's not his story. That is a different character. Different budget.

01:13Look at the background. Look at that. It wasn't fully rendered.

01:15He found him. He was standing outside another house in my neighborhood. He was covered in bruises.

01:19Poor dog. His eye was swollen shut and blood was still dripping down. Oh, we got to blur that

01:24heart. So I called in a few favors and found out everything about this kid, his school, his

01:29job, his girlfriend. Okay. First off, this is the exact plot of John Wick. That's all I'll

01:35say. He was enrolled at a Catholic private school. And when I told them what he did, they expelled

01:40him within the week. His girlfriend was vegan and an animal lover. So convincing her to break

01:44up with him was easy. They're doing all this when they could simply just hit Chester with

01:48the truck. You know, all you have to do is just hit him with the truck. You could just

01:51get rid of Chester. I think like the story back then, he wasn't willing to take the risk

01:56of hurting an animated child. And he probably should have because this kid, let's be real,

02:02deserves it for killing the dog. And as he was walking home after getting fired, I ran him

02:06over with my truck. Okay. There we go. So this video was posted February 6th, 2026. Wait,

02:13are you kidding me? I know. I know this year. Isn't that crazy? No way. And there's already

02:181200 videos, five and a half million subscribers and seven and a half billion views for in six

02:24months. Shout out his story. Oh, big shout out his story. And then we got his cousin or his

02:28girlfriend or his sister. So now we have her story. What is the exact relation between his

02:33story and her story? Who's up next year? It's like one day they're 75 years old. The next day

02:38they're a child. The next day it's you never actually know. They just adapt to this story. So

02:43February 7th, 2026. So also about six and a half months old and her story as a YouTube channel has

02:49two and a half million subscribers, three billion views and a thousand videos. So her story is less

02:56popular than his story, but nonetheless, obviously still incredibly massive. Wow. Starting off with

03:01a three minute short. That's not even a short. This is my issue with shorts. Shorts should be

03:05restricted to 60 seconds. Otherwise it's a long. That ending is kind of funny is the name of her

03:10story's first short. So let's see what we got here. We will be when I saw my husband's newest

03:14friend over for dinner. I knew I had 60 seconds to leave the house. I came home from work and

03:17my

03:17husband was beaming in the kitchen. Hey, is this sped up? Why is it going? Maybe they had to speed

03:21it up because the video was so long that they had to fit the three minute mark. I want you

03:24to meet

03:25someone. My new friend from work. He's making us dinner tonight. A man stepped out from behind the

03:28counter. My blood turned to ice. I recognized that face immediately. I'd seen it in every one of my

03:31nightmares for three years. This is Chase. He's like a brother to me already. My husband gleamed. Chase

03:34smiled at me. A calm, friendly smile. Nice to meet you. My legs almost buckled. He'd found me. For context,

03:38I was kidnapped when I was 19. A college freshman walking home alone from a late study session. I

03:42was wearing headphones when a van pulled up beside me. I didn't even have time to react before a hand

03:46clamped over my mouth. Oh my God, I'm wearing the exact same headphones. Look at this. That's

03:49actually the same exact headphones. A hand clamped over my mouth and dragged me inside. I was duct taped

03:53and driven for hours. The man took me to a house in the middle of nowhere. Kept me in a

03:56soundproof

03:56basement chained to a pipe. I was there for four months. He came down every night, sometimes twice.

04:00Called me his project. Said he was- This is just like nitpicking a little bit, but whenever you see

04:04this

04:04like calendar thing happen, that's days. So this is four days and they said four months. It should

04:10have been 120 rips of the paper. He came down every night, sometimes twice. Called me his project. Said

04:15he was training me. Made me thank him when he was done. He took photos, videos, made me say things

04:19into the camera. Gotta have the feet there as well, of course. I think this is a dream. I'm pretty

04:22sure

04:23this is a dream. This isn't the dude that's currently at their house. I mean, it is, but like

04:26it's not, he didn't do any of this, did he? No, it's like when you, you see that one guy

04:31that

04:31everybody sees in their dream. That guy with like the big ears. Have you ever seen that guy?

04:35Yeah. Big ears, big eyebrows. Yeah. I've seen that one. That weirdo. He doesn't even exist,

04:40but what a freak that guy is. Yeah. What a freak. Editor, throw him up on screen. Make him

04:44explode. Camera said if I ever escaped, he'd send the footage to everyone I loved. When I fought back,

04:48he burned me with cigarettes. The night I escaped, he forgot to lock the door. I ran barefoot through

04:51the woods for six hours until I collapsed at a gas station. Police never found him, no matter how hard

04:55they looked. He simply vanished. I don't mean to pause. Can you go back? His story,

04:58her story runs are always so funny. Look at, look at how she, the night I escaped,

05:02he forgot to lock the door. I ran barefoot through the woods for six hours. That's crazy. Nobody

05:06really runs like that. Nobody runs like that. And also, you know, I hate to nitpick again,

05:10but look at the way this guy is holding the camera. Like nobody actually holds the camera like that.

05:14You're going to hold it towards the bottom of the screen. If anything, he's also blocking the

05:17camera with his fingers. And we have photo. I don't think night is even one of the options on

05:24camera. It never says night. And also like the, the lettering and stuff are all off.

05:28The font is different too. Actually, this is pro-trap. It doesn't, it doesn't say portrait.

05:35Police never found him, no matter how hard they looked. He simply vanished. But before I changed

05:37my name and moved across the country, a letter arrived at my hospital room. I'll find you. We'll

05:41pick up right where we left off. Now he was here, standing in my kitchen, stirring pasta. Like the

05:44last three years were intuition. My heart was slamming against my ribs. I needed an excuse to get out

05:47of the house. I forgot my water bottle in the car. I said to my husband, let me go grab

05:50it. My husband

05:50walked over to me. No worries, babe. You've had a long day. I'll go get it for you. He started

05:53walking out the door. I grabbed his arm. No, I'll go get it myself. It's fine. I feel bad for

05:57the guy

05:57because the guy didn't actually do something. He's just in a dream. I froze. I just, I need to talk

06:02to

06:02you outside right now. Unlucky with how he looks crazy. Chase actually warned me about this. My stomach

06:06dropped. He told me women get weird when their husbands make new male friends. Something about losing

06:09control. I realized it then. Chase had already manipulated him. Already planted seeds against me.

06:12That's when Chase appeared around the corner. A calm smile. Everything okay? Yeah. My husband

06:15get out of my house. Were you covering my door? Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's on purpose,

06:22right? Or I could react. The door closed, leaving me and Chase alone. Chase quickly walked toward me,

06:25reached past my shoulder. He locked the deadbolt before I could stop him. Told you we'd pick up

06:28where we left off. He backed me. Oh no. What? He's actually a villain? Okay. I'm shocked. Okay. Okay.

06:34But the ending is kind of funny, right? The ending's kind of funny. Yeah. His hand gripped my jaw. I've

06:38been watching you for six months, getting close to him, becoming his best friend, waiting for tonight. Oh my

06:45husband thinks I'm the greatest guy he's ever met. He's not coming to save you. He grabbed my arm,

06:48then put his hand over my mouth. I tried to scream as loud as I could. Nothing came out. I

06:51screamed

06:51again. No sound. Chase was smiling at me like this was amusing. That's when I bit his hand, hard as

06:55I

06:55could. He let go just long enough for me to yell, help. My husband heard it immediately. He ran back

06:58to the door, tried the handle, locked. He pounded with both fists. Babe, what's happening there? Chase

07:02was angry now. He grabbed my throat with his hands and started squeezing. Then I saw it. My husband ran

07:05around the side to the window. He looked in and saw Chase pinning me against the wall, saw his hand

07:08around my

07:09throat, the tears streaming down my face. I made eye contact with my husband. Something inside him snapped. He grabbed

07:13the patio

07:13chair and hurled it through. Nice. Okay. Good stuff. He climbed through without hesitating. Shards slicing his

07:18arms, blood running down to his elbows, but he didn't even flinch. He tackled Chase before Chase could

07:21react. They hit the floor hard. Nice. So I want to say something. This guy has changed faces four times.

07:28Yeah, his beard grows out. Yeah, good catch them. Him to him. Like that's a different person. The thing is,

07:34my husband is a six foot four jujitsu black belt. He wrestled Chase down, then grabbed a lamp from the

07:38side table. Chase tried to raise his hand to defend himself, but it was too late. My husband brought the

07:41lamp down right on Chase's skull. Once, twice. Chase went like, I often dropped the lamp and crawled

07:45to me. Are you okay? How is the ending funny? I couldn't speak. Just collapsed into his chest

07:48sobbing. He pulled out his phone, dialed 911. Never let go of me once. Police dragged Chase out

07:52in handcuffs. They took my husband in for questioning, but we had security cameras in our hallway. He was

07:56released by morning. I bandaged my husband's sliced arms while he sat at our kitchen table. I told him

07:59everything for the first time. He just listened. Didn't interrupt once. Then he spoke. Guess you

08:02could say he really chased after you. Huh? Get it? I slapped him. When I saw my husband-

08:05Oh my God. Get out of my face. All that for that? That was- All that for that. Are

08:13you serious?

08:14Oh my God. You know what? Just because of that, I'm going to have to give that a one out

08:20of 10.

08:20Next one. Get the next. One out of 10. Oh no. Oh, what do we got here? Oh my God.

08:28I cannot watch my-

08:29Oh wait a second. Does that ring a bell a little bit? Wait a second. Are you serious? That is

08:36literally my graphic, bro. I could explain. Wait a second. To be fair, I was 20. I'm 24 now.

08:47You know, I've evolved a little bit. This was created in 2022 and this video has 21 comments.

08:57So it's like a very early. A lot of people didn't see this. This is going to be- Okay,

09:01nice. This is-

09:01This is like as beginning as it gets. No pausing. All right, no pausing. This video is supposed to tell

09:06if you're smarter than a 12-year-old. The three primary colors. Red, yellow, and blue. Red, blue,

09:12yellow, same thing. How many liters in a liter, Sam? Hey, a thousand, baby. Light work.

09:16A thousand in a liter. What 12-year-old is supposed to know this? I don't even know this. A

09:19thousand.

09:19Okay. What is the largest content? You didn't get that right? What is the largest content?

09:22Hey, look. Wait, okay. Let me just say, why are you quizzing me on a video that I've made?

09:28Let me quiz you because this is your first video. What is the largest continent on earth? Asia. Let's

09:34see if you're right. Europe? Asia. You even were wrong in the video. I was wrong in the video,

09:40but I'm four years older now. All right. Yeah, you've developed. Yeah, this is actually good. You

09:44should answer them now. So what is the most eaten food in the world? Uh, rice? Cheese? Rice? Rice is

09:50a good

09:50answer. I actually don't know the answer, but I think rice is probably the answer. Cheese. Rice.

09:54What? You said cheese even now? Like, both of your thoughts were cheese and rice. So in some ways

09:59you've changed, in some ways you haven't. It's almost like that's, we're the same person. Yeah,

10:04it's true. Who paid to the Mona Lisa? I did. It was me, Sam. To the Mona Lisa. I did.

10:09See?

10:09Wow. Okay. Are we done with this? Can I move on with my life? We can move on. I honestly,

10:15I enjoyed watching it. I don't know if I enjoyed it because of the questions or because it was baby

10:19you

10:20but nonetheless, it was your first short. You got to be proud of it. You got to wear with pride,

10:24you know? It's a badge of honor. Well, it's only fair we look at my first short because we just

10:28watched your first short. So the first ever Sambucha short, I think I know what it is. It's

10:32probably a Wikipedia speed run I did. Yeah, look at that. January 2021. Banger out the gate,

10:37by the way. Yo, I know 148. I haven't watched this in a while though. I'm excited. Do you have,

10:42are you able to hear it and stuff? Your audio is good? I am. It sounds like you're,

10:46it sounds like you're, uh, procrastinating. No. Hey, look, I liked it. Look, I'm proud of this video.

10:5315 seconds to go from Minecraft to LeBron James. That starts now. All right, let's see. Uh,

11:02best-selling video games of all time. Good. Classic. Let's go to Wii Sports. Nice.

11:06Wii Sports Resort has basketball. Uh, there's basketball. LeBron's got to be on the pitch.

11:11Oh, there he is. Whoa. It's time. Did you swear? Wait, did I? Basketball? Wait, go back.

11:17LeBron's got to be on the pitch. Oh, no. It's got to be on this page. LeBron's got to be

11:22on this

11:22page. Were your eyes able to pick up a word on a Wikipedia screen like that? Is this legit? Oh,

11:30this is not scripted. I've done these live. This is this taken from a live stream? Let me think.

11:34I'm pretty positive. This is taken from a Twitch live stream. Are you able to do it in the flesh

11:39with

11:39the pressure of not doing it for the first time in a while? We can, uh, we can rip it.

11:44Sam,

11:44your objective is to get from lights to the Great Wall of China. The goal is to get sub 30

11:51seconds,

11:51I'd say. Let's do it. Light. So we want to get to countries from here. So we have to go

11:55to like

11:56general, I don't know. Let's go human eye and then we're gonna go to like humans. No, nothing like

12:00that. Okay. We have to go a little bit larger scale here. So let's go maybe skull, human skeleton,

12:06human body, human being. Okay. Give me like countries, Africa. Great. And Asia. And then

12:14we're going to see China from here for sure. Where's China? Where's China? China. And then

12:18we want to go to like their, uh, Great Wall of China has got to be just front page here

12:23and

12:23I'm probably missing it, but it's definitely going to be right here. It's like the largest.

12:26Where's the Great Wall of China? It's on this page. We're literally here already.

12:29A few moments later. I'll call it here, but let's see where it was. It's got to be like front

12:34in the center. Yep. Oh my God. Okay. It was right there. All right. What do you rate your

12:38first video, Sam? I think it's decent. All things considered for a start on YouTube. It's like a

12:43really fun YouTube short. It's just like, Hey, I'm here. Let's have some fun. I would give it a good

12:47rating too, because you're off the rip, very comfortable in front of the camera. That is

12:51something that you don't usually get until a while of content. The next YouTuber we're going to be

12:55looking at is Zach D films, and he has 28 million subscribers, nearly 4,000 videos and 75

13:00billion views. And his first video is Jeff Bezos is net worth versus yours. Hashtag shorts. Are you

13:07kidding me? He started February 9th, 2022. His channel is only four and a half years old,

13:12and he's already at 75 billion views. Okay. So let's watch this and we'll compare it to his new

13:17stuff. And let's just see what happens. I think it's not even animation. I'm seeing some real thumbs

13:21there. This is $60,000. Let's pretend this equals Jeff Bezos net worth of 186 billion.

13:28This is what Oprah's net worth would look like. I'm so uncomfortable right now. I am so uncomfortable.

13:34I don't know if it's his voice or the fact that I'm seeing his hands or like the editing style

13:38or

13:38the fact that I don't believe for some reason that's $60,000, but there's something about this

13:42that's throwing me off. Mr. Beast is pocket change coming in at around $18. Broke. A millionaire

13:48would have about 33 cents. Okay. The average net worth of a 35 year old would be one single penny.

13:55I see

13:55what he's trying to do there. Like it's a good visualization of wealth, which everybody likes

13:59to see because the one commonality in this world is money. Jeff Bezos having the most at the time.

14:04So I get what he's doing here. It's actually a pretty fun short. It's just jarring to see it.

14:08Very educational. You know, I gained a little bit of perspective. I realized that I might or may not

14:13be worth a penny. Yeah, it is what it is. People calling this the stone age of Zack D films.

14:17If you ever feel down, just remember you're closer to being a millionaire than Jeff Bezos.

14:20That's promising. That's actually, that is good perspective right there. I'll give that one

14:25thumbs up of approval. That was great. Yeah, I think that's definitely a thumbs up. And I think

14:30that he probably is, he's gotten better, but it's not like that was bad. So a very good start there.

14:35The next YouTube short creator we're going to be looking at is one of the largest YouTube

14:38shorts creators on the entire platform, Vector. Now let's go ahead and watch Vector's first video here.

14:45Okay, looks to be nerf blaster related.

14:53Okay. All things considered, not terrible for a first video. I mean, I see what he was doing.

14:57I will say one thing about Vector though, is that he always has his hands on interesting products.

15:01He's like the whatnot of shorts creators. And actually guys, together with whatnot, we're giving away

15:0520 Nintendo Switch 2s, but more on that later. Whatnot is the number one live stream selling

16:21to Whatnot for sponsoring this video. Now let's go ahead and watch more shorts. Next up, we have

16:24Sean Andrew, 7.5 million subscribers. He claims to go on adventures and tell stories. And he's,

16:31I always like a top five YouTuber that my audience also watches. So figured we had to include him in

16:36here. Uh, 600 videos, 9 billion views, huge on shorts, lots of fun concepts. But what was his

16:42first? June 3rd, 2021. He's been in this for a minute. We're going to see this Chinese water

16:47torture experiment. Oh, does he do it himself? Crazy start. If he does, let's see.

16:51Try this so you don't have to. This is the Chinese drip technique. Dude, it's honestly

16:55not that bad. Okay, dude. It's bad. It's bad. It's bad. A form of, well, extreme discomfort

17:00used to mentally break subjects in the 14th and 15th. This editing is crazy. I know. This

17:05is fantastic. How much the average person can withstand this. Let's go. Studies have shown

17:09that a full day of this treatment results in mental... I think I tried this once and I lasted

17:14like 10 seconds. After just 45 minutes, I begged to be let out. I'm done. I'm done. Do not try

17:21this

17:21at home. Wait, isn't TikTok owned by China? Wait, what does that have to do with that? Oh, the Chinese...

17:28Oh, I see. I see. Okay. Because it was posted for TikTok. Yo, that was really good. You know,

17:33you could see the vision that he had from the first video that he made. Some people just know how

17:37to

17:37make a video. You know, they just get it and he gets it. Now we have Law by Mike, classic

17:42largest law

17:42channel in the world. Just huge entertainment channel in general. Mike is goaded. This is

17:47February 26th, 2021. He got a nice Millie on this and it's what to do when you get pulled over

17:53for

17:53speeding. Who doesn't want to know the answer to this?

17:55When the cops say, do you know how fast you're going? Repeat after me.

17:59No, officer. How fast was I going? Never, ever admit to speeding because anything you say

18:07will be you again. Lead the fifth. Interesting. Noted, Mr. Law by Mike. Noted. You just got to

18:14stay silent. Like when a police comes over to you, you literally just say nothing. Is that what you

18:19did last time you got pulled over? I really can't remember. It must have been when I was 18,

18:24which sounds crazy. That was 12 years ago. You know, like I don't even remember. It's like a long

18:29time ago. Well, fair play, Sam. So the next YouTuber whose first short we're going to look

18:33at is John Casterline, otherwise known as H1T1. So John Casterline at this point is 8 million

18:40subscribers, 2,500 videos and 11.6 billion views. He is a mega YouTube shorts creator and just a large

18:47creator in general. Bro is crushing. And I don't know what his first video is, but he looks like a

18:53baby here. And this video looks to be from December 5th, 2020. So he actually beat me by a month.

18:59He

18:59posted before me. Kid calls 911 to order a pizza. This kid's name is Joseph. And one day he dialed

19:05911

19:05to order a pizza. Now, obviously you're not supposed to dial 911 to order a pizza, but the cops wanted

19:10him to learn something from this. So they actually delivered him a pizza on their own and shot him

19:1520 times. Whoa. Whoa. There's so many things to discuss here. So first off. I think the lesson has been

19:23articulated. He has the TikTok watermark there. He is spitting into his microphone, which is a classic

19:292020 thing to do. That's very commentary on TikTok 2020. And he took it in the direction that I didn't

19:36think it was going to go. Great first short, because I was shocked at. That made a tear go down

19:40my face. That was beautiful. All right. The next YouTuber whose first short we're going to look at

19:45is just a mega creator. And that is Nick DiGiovanni. So his channel is 45 million subscribers on only

19:53562 videos, which is an insane conversion. And then in terms of his viewership, 22 billion views.

19:59Yo, he might have the best ratio that we've seen yet. Let's see his first short. So the date of

20:03this.

20:04Say, that's some John Castro lineup. What was in the air on December 6th? I guess that's when shorts

20:09was like rolled out maybe or something. All right, let's see. We got crispy pork belly. I'm kind of

20:12excited to listen to this. Pork belly. This is a whole pork belly. He looks young, but he looks the

20:18same

20:18still. No music or anything too. He's just raw talking to the camera. This is how you cook.

20:25There we go.

20:25Kind of getting a little bit lost in his eyes.

20:27I know, right? He's got like ocean eyes.

20:31Lots of fat in there and bam. There we go.

20:35Holy s***.

20:41If I'm not allowed to swear on Sam's channel, neither are you, Nick. Unacceptable.

20:45What is going on? Oh, yay. 1 out of 10. 1 out of 10. The next YouTuber we're going to

20:49be looking at

20:49is iShowSpeed. So this is baby speed here. So it's an apology video right off the rip.

20:55Right off the rip. He took no time. He's just like, look, I'm sorry, man. I think he's apologizing in

21:01advance for like everything. He's just like, look, I'm going to mess up, but I'm sorry. Uh, this is

21:05from 2021, January 7th. Hey, I think that's when I posted my shorter right around there. So shout

21:11out to speed. It's not clickbait. No, it's not clickbait. I did get a warning chat. I did get a

21:17warning. My fault. He's making a video because he got a warning on YouTube. Now, if you're unaware,

21:22you can have a couple of warnings on your channel before action is taken and you don't have to even

21:26publicize the fact that you have a warning, but he's apologizing to the public for getting a

21:31warning on his YouTube channel, which is honestly pretty honorable. I hope he explains what he did.

21:36Let's see. Yeah. I'm actually really curious now. It's a warning. So basically I don't know if I'm

21:40going to do Omegle no more. Okay. So it was Omegle related, which is classic. I mean, you go on

21:44that

21:44site, it's just 50, 50. Are you going to see something that's going to get you banned? The answer

21:48is yes. If you go on it for long enough, the answer is yes. You know how bold you have

21:52to be to be

21:53live streaming and going on Omegle. You got to worry about stream snipers and you just got to worry

21:57about normal, regular Omegle users. The next YouTuber we're going to take a look at is a

22:02very large creator and that is Tyler Vitelli. So he has 8.19 million subscribers. I think he's tied

22:08with H1T1 and he has 2000 videos and probably something like five to 10 billion views up 12.5

22:14billion views. And his first video ever was the differences between male and female Frenchie.

22:21His first video was from July 13th, 2024. So his channel is two years old. All right, here we go.

22:27French between male friendships and female friendships is crazy because one time at school,

22:31there was this group of girls that were all best friends and one of these girls' birthday was

22:34coming up. So he has the beauty filter on, I think. Also, what is he shaving? What is his brother

22:39shaving? So when that day came, the whole group all posted a bunch of pictures on their story saying

22:44happy birthday, except for one girl. And in fact, this girl didn't even go to school that day. So when

22:49she came back the next day, she wasn't hanging out with those girls anymore. And it turns out that the

22:53rest of the group, this feels like a male get ready for me. Get ready. Get ready with me. With

22:57me. I'm convinced some of my friends don't even know my last name. And I don't blame my friends

23:01for not knowing my birthday. So he's actually shaving. And I'm not saying that's a good thing

23:04either. I respect that girl's care so much. I'm just going to say, and you said it already. I have

23:09no idea what I just watched. Like I couldn't. Yeah, I don't even know what he said. We were talking

23:12about birthdays to a girl whose friends weren't talking to her. If you give me a test and it's

23:17like, here's 10 multiple choice questions about the content of this video, I would be just filling

23:22out C. Like I have no clue what the actual answers would be. The next YouTuber we're going to take

23:26a

23:26look at is Topper Guild. Topper has 95 million subscribers, 35 billion views, and he has a lot

23:36of shorts. And his oldest one is 58 million. And then right after that, he had a billion on this

23:43one.

23:44And this is easy prank to do on a friend. Is it that easy? This is the guy who has

23:48no mouth,

23:49right? He kind of looks like he has a mouth. No, you'll see. You ready for it?

23:55And it's like, invisible. Bro, what are you talking about? Bro, what are you talking about,

23:59dude? You messed this up. Bro, you have to put one of these in there. Watch. Watch. Watch.

24:04Okay, now look in there, bro. You're ruining my video, bro. Look in there now, bro.

24:08See? He's got no mouth. How do you do that? How do you do that? He's got an unhinged jaw,

24:16so he like covers his mouth or something. It is an easy prank to do on a friend, to be

24:20fair. It's

24:21just like, oh, I dropped something in the water. And then as they look at the water, you squeeze

24:24it. It's just a classic prank. So it can't even be mad at this one. It's a staged prank. It

24:28probably

24:28wasn't actually a prank, but it demonstrates what the prank is. And so I don't hate that. So

24:32Topper, I mean, that's a good one. Seven out of 10. Good job, Topper. Yeah. Seven out of 10 is

24:37a

24:37good number to give. Okay. Next up, we have Royal Pear. Pear has about six and a half million

24:42subscribers, 3.8 billion views. Shout out, Pear. And his first ever video is going undercover in

24:49terrible Discord servers, which is actually a pretty interesting premise. And this was made

24:53in 2023 of January. So he's about three and a half years old. And we're going to be joining them

24:58undercover, starting with eGirlParadise. Oh no. Now, what would be a good name? I think that's

25:02a normal name. You know, you don't just start in this Discord group unless you actually are

25:06curious what's in it. Let's be completely real here. Like Royal Pear is interested to see

25:10what is in this Discord. And I will stand on that. And now to add my selfie from this morning,

25:15I'm just going to ask a basic question so people will notice me. Does anyone here watch YouTube?

25:19Someone's bound to say yes. Okay. No one said yes, but it's because the question's too broad. So

25:23does anyone watch Mr. Beast? No, I said Mr. Brest. Oh, I got a response. No, they watch your mom

25:29and me in bed. What did I do? The next server is an NFT server with almost 400. Again, I

25:34think

25:34Pear likes NFT. I think Pear owns some NFTs. And only after I shared my NFT in the NFT sharing

25:41channel

25:41did I learn that the name of the mod role for this server was NFT enthusiast. I found the lowest

25:47rated

25:47it ended off an abrupt note. Yeah. It felt like a glitch or something. I don't understand what the

25:52ending was. Did either people call this out? The ending. Okay. So there was something to that ending

25:57that I don't think a lot of people understood. And maybe that's the appeal. It's like you you're

26:01going to watch till the end because there was no end. So the next YouTube we're going to take a

26:04look

26:04at is Dude Perfect, who is one of the longest running channels on YouTube period. But what is their

26:10first short ever? And when was it posted? Oh, this is definitely a COVID video. You can just tell

26:15at this setup. Just all the boys in the house. 4.8 million. Oh my God. 4.8 million likes.

26:19That's

26:19crazy. And this video is titled Candle Blowing Challenge is intense with I think the candle

26:24emoji there. Let's see. That's actually a really fun concept. Have you tried this? No guys. No.

26:33Almost had this one. Okay. New leader moving here. Yeah. Let's listen to Ty. Just good fun

26:48right there. That's just dude perfect being dudes. Yeah. Simple, easy, nice and wholesome. Now

26:52we have YouTube's largest creator, MrBeast, who probably at this point has 530 million subscribers.

27:00514 million subscribers. And he's actually three videos away from a thousand videos. And we looked

27:05at his views. He has 138 billion views. So MrBeast, MrHuge. And what is his first ever short? The

27:12Rock versus MrBeast for $100,000. Wow. What a first short. My contacts might be a little blurry right

27:18now, but how many likes does that say? 36 million likes. Challenge The Rock to rock, paper, scissors.

27:24If you beat me, I'll donate $100,000 to charity. Whichever one you want. Wow. You ready? Wow.

27:29I am. Rock, paper, scissors. Ooh. Good for the AVD. Good for the AVD. Oh my gosh. This

27:39is going to take forever. This is it. If I win, what happens? I donate $100,000 to whatever

27:42charity you want. Okay. And if you win, I will match that and donate $100,000 to any charity

27:47you want. Really? Yes. Oh, wow. There we go. There we go. Oh my gosh. I was not expecting

27:52that. All right. Good guy, Rock. You ready? Hold on a second. Hold on a second. Okay. I'm

27:57ready. I got it. I got it too. I actually don't know who wins this. Okay. Pause it. Make a

28:03prediction.

28:04I think The Rock wins. I'm going to put Beast on this one. I'm going to put Jimmy on him.

28:13Oh, Beast beats The Rock. I got it. If it makes you feel better, I'll still donate $100,000

28:17as well. All right. Well, you know what? Very nice, charitable first video. I mean, tons

28:22of viewership on this. Yeah. I think it's so funny that The Rock is just doing a press tour

28:27and then he just gets baited into giving away $100,000. He's like, oh, we're doing this all

28:33of a sudden. Okay. Next up, we have Ninye. We're going to watch the YouTuber Ninye's first ever

28:39short. You ever watch any of his videos before, Sam? I've definitely come across videos, but I'm not

28:43a regular Ninye viewer. However, respect to Ninye. He is crushing and I'm excited to watch his first one.

28:50Any context to this? My life's scariest moment. The date of this is from, okay, fairly new,

28:56September 10th, 2023. So about three years ago on the dot almost. All right. Let's see.

29:01Baby Ninye. Let me tell you about something honestly terrifying. So I was with my two friends,

29:06Cole and Roderick, when suddenly Cole pulls out magic mushroom. We all ate and suddenly everything

29:12felt like real life Minecraft. We were so excited about this, we decided to walk around the streets

29:18in the dead of night while tripping. As we strolled around- Is this a true story?

29:24I don't, I'm pretty sure at least. Until just over the hill, we see three massive homeless dudes come

29:31walking in the same direction. And we start freaking out. We went on shaking up a bit until

29:36coming across a college campus with a fair that was being taken down. The dilapidated circus vibe

29:42is just not one you want to be in while tripping. Even worse, I saw my dad working to take

29:47it all

29:47down, which made me feel like a disappointment. But I'm a YouTuber now, which doesn't really help that.

29:52Full story here. Oh, and of course he has to link it to the full video. He had a plan.

29:57Well, shout out Ninye. I would give that first short an 8.5 out of 10.

30:01Okay. Now we have Camman. Camman does a lot of Minecraft content. He's been crushing for a while.

30:0611.2 million subscribers, 2000 videos, and he has 20 billion channel views. Very big YouTube

30:12shorts creator. Let's go ahead and see his first video. How far can you fall in Minecraft? 24 million

30:17views on his first one. Hot out at the gate.

30:19Highest fall you can survive in Minecraft. I guess I'm kind of curious about this, right?

30:23You can only survive a maximum of 23 blocks, and surprisingly, Feather Falling 4 only makes

30:28the number go to 41. The real difference is with full protection for Netherite armor,

30:33because when paired with Feather Falling, you can survive 103 blocks. But this is still far

30:38for the survival. Wait, 906?

30:41Pairing this armor with an enchanted golden apple and potion of turtle master, you can survive a 906

30:47block fall. But if you're wearing a hay bale at the bottom, you can survive a whopping 4,504 block

30:56fall. And you'll have a while to contemplate your life choices and smack that follow button.

31:02Ha ha ha. Follow me on Twitch. Ha ha ha. I mean, very good TTR.

31:09Man, that answers the question. What's the hi-

31:12Oh, and he loops it too. Wow.

31:14Yeah, that was a really good first short, you know.

31:17That is a masterclass of a video. That is a great short.

31:21All right, now we have Kabi Lame, who is the largest TikToker in the world.

31:24And apparently he also posts on shorts. So let's see his first short.

31:30His first short is a sponsored short? Or is this just an intro? Like, welcome. Kabi Lame has

31:36made it to YouTube shorts. Here you go.

31:38Well, we'll be able to see based off the date. If this was like 2023, it was definitely sponsored.

31:432022. Almost 2020. This might be a sponsored post at the FIFA World Cup with YouTube shorts.

31:50I'm excited to see this now.

31:56All right.

31:59I guess we'll- Oh, wow. Look at him.

32:00Oh, look at that. Oh, definitely sponsored.

32:03Intro and outro. That just is like, you know, it's a little bit of an aura gamble because it's like,

32:08can I do an intro and outro? But he's like, nah, we could do an intro outro. And it kind

32:12of hits.

32:12It's kind of like-

32:13I mean, is this like his introduction to YouTube or introduction to YouTube shorts?

32:17I think it's his introduction to YouTube, right? Because his first video ever was three years ago,

32:22which also is Kabi Lame is officially on YouTube. He's just announcing that he's everywhere. He's

32:27like, oh, I'm on YouTube shorts. I'm like, he's at that point where he's just like, I'm here.

32:32And just to let you guys know.

32:33And they got the YouTube- He got the YouTube comment off the rip too.

32:36Yeah.

32:36Look at that.

32:36That is insane. First video to have the YouTube comment. Now we got Ray William Johnson,

32:41who is an OG at one point, the most subscribed channel on YouTube. And now instead of making

32:46long form, he makes longer short form content. I would say it's kind of like the lane that he's

32:52in now. And his first ever YouTube short is, can you roast this e-girl? So he used to do

32:57these

32:57like roasts that people would ask him to do. So they're like, oh Ray, can you roast me?

33:01And he's like, sure. This was from September 13th, 2020.

33:05Your video is asking for a roast. Roast me. I want it now.

33:09Are you sure you want that, Caroline? All right, let's do it. All right. First of all,

33:13girl, how are you going to look like a depressed Monica Lewinsky? You look like if someone played

33:16Aubrey Plaza in a parody. Oh, you're into cosplay. Well, that makes sense. If I were you,

33:21I'd pretend to be someone else too.

33:22What is going on here? This is a very interesting YouTube short slider to show the duration.

33:29That's a Ray William Johnson classic, Sam.

33:31Oh, is it? Hey, I'm sorry. I must be out of the loop. All right.

33:34Especially with those teeth, Rat Von D. Do you have the same dental plan as this tow truck?

33:39And why do I have the sudden urge to feed you carrots? And who in the holy hell cut your

33:43hair?

33:44Daredevil? Frickin' James Charles is straighter than those bangs. And hey, I think it's cool you

33:49borrowed your mom's jeans. But did you have to borrow her fupa too? All right, Caroline,

33:53there's your roast. You have a great page, by the way. Keep it up. I really think you're going to

33:57go far.

33:57And by the way, I was totally kidding about the haircut. We all know your hair isn't the

34:01only thing you cut. Dang, that's crazy. Really good first video. Hey, welcome to the platform.

34:09Here's a roast of somebody and 30 million views. I think so too. That was nine to nine and a

34:14half,

34:14I would say. Now we have Zach King, who at one point was the king of short form content,

34:19no pun intended. And he still is in a sense. And his channel is probably still doing well. I haven't

34:24really heard from him in quite some time. But he has 43 million subscribers on 900 videos and

34:28probably tens of billions of views. He had 23 billion views and his oldest video,

34:32how to always eat for free with nearly 100 million views. What am I watching? Why is this

34:37aspect ratio what it is? This is definitely one of those shorts that became a short when they

34:41adjusted for success. So this must be from 2019 or before 2018. What an early short. This is

34:49Oh my God. He was early. What did he know? He saw something we didn't send him. He saw some

34:54that's a magician right there. So let's see what he's got. I love myself a good discount.

35:03I'm a kid. Okay.

35:07How did he go from an adult to a kid? How did he do that? I mean, if we're going

35:12to ruin the video,

35:14something about right here. And we're looking at a new person who slotted in. I mean, either way,

35:21it's a really great first short, and he didn't even intend on making it a short, which is it just

35:25makes it a 10 out of 10. It's like I accidentally put out a banger. Yeah. Next up, we have

35:29It's

35:29Lewis A. 7.34 million subscribers with 400 videos and almost 6 billion views. And he's also just

35:38massive. And I can't say that I'm a regular watcher of Lewis A, but I do know Lewis A's videos.

35:43So I'm

35:43excited to watch his first one. Ruining songs because Sue, they sound like someone else. A

35:49little bit of a typo there, but we won't fault him too early here. This might be copyrighted.

35:55All right. This is definitely going to be copyrighted.

36:00Look, as far as shorts go, that wasn't a great short. It's not like that was a standout short

36:06in this video. I would give it like a three. Okay. The last YouTuber we're going to take a look

36:10at

36:10at their first ever short is Daniel LaBelle, who actually, fun fact, has the most viewed YouTube

36:16short of all time. Nope. I lied. 1.6 billion views. There is a video with 1.8 billion views

36:23on

36:23Mr. Beast's channel. So he has the second most viewed. It's insane. And his oldest one,

36:27his first one, when trying to pose little kids for a picture. I feel like that should have been

36:32worded differently when kids try to pose for a picture or something. January 22nd, 2020. So this is

36:38like a first short. Close. All right, Daniel, it's your turn for the picture. Come sit over here.

36:46All right. Now place one hand on top of the other and set them on your knee.

36:51Good job. All right. Now give me a smile. Kind of looks like you, Sam.

36:54Okay. Now a little bit bigger smile. A little bit. We got some overlap.

36:58Good job. Okay. Now open your eyes. There we go. Okay. Sit up straight.

37:03Okay. Okay. Relax your shoulders a little bit more. Okay. Now turn your head to the right

37:08a little bit. Oh, now I'm back this way a little bit. Okay. Good job. Ready? One, two, three.

37:16I feel like that lasted a bit longer than it should have. Like, I feel like after a point,

37:21it was like, is this still going? It definitely dragged, but he's a photographer. So at his core,

37:27this is something he's probably dealt with. So he's just showing an experience that he had and you

37:31can't be mad about that. It's a pretty good first video. Good perspective, Sam. Good perspective.

37:35Nice empathy. All right, guys, that was a lot of fun. Also a huge shout out to Hussein for joining

37:39us

37:39and reacting to these videos. I was also on his channel recently doing a gaming gauntlet. So make

37:43sure to check that out. But with that being said, thank you guys so much for watching. If you want
