Who were the guys that used to dance onstage?
Chippendales. I'm into girls.
Just please cooperate, son, all right?

(chortles) That's so stupid.
I've heard of "good cop, bad cop," but not "good cop, sad cop."
Man, I swear I knock you out!
You lucky this gate holdin' me back!
Okay, here you go. My phone, my wallet, my keys.
Got some soup inside. Come on in, brothers.

You're not getting this back... bitch.
Entitlement.
I think that's a little stereotyping, just a little.
I don't think it's, so far, it's that funny.

[bleep], you slow and you fat.
Fat people running, it's funny.
Now, that was funny. That man definitely needs to go on a diet.
They used the N-word.
But in that context, hey, they're allowed. It works.
Tell me what you love about me.
(Johnny) Oh no, that's a trick question.
(in video) Everything.

(in video) I don't know, bitch! Your smile?
Ooh, that's nasty.
(in video) I don't know, bitch! Your smile?

That's the way we make love now?
When you get older, you get over that.
At my age, I'd be like, "I don't care if you don't love me.
You know, [bleep] you."
- Woo! So you goin' home? - No. Goodnight.

These were great! I loved them!
He's a very talented young man.
I'm sure he's gonna have his own thing on HBO
or Comedy Central any day now.
(movie reel clicks)
(Finebros) So all of these short videos were created by one guy
who calls himself King Bach.
King Bach? Interesting.
King Bach.
KB is outstanding.
(Finebros) What did you think of his videos?
I didn't care for them myself.
A little bit ridiculous, but kinda cute.
He's not exactly clean, but he wasn't terribly filthy.
I thought they were wonderful.
He was really entertaining.
He gonna be really successful
if he keep on doing something like that,
'cause they were funny, every one of 'em.
I see a lot of stuff that the kids show me
that I don't find that funny.
So I think he's more talented I laughed
three or four or five times during his videos.
(Finebros) How would you describe his comedy?
Little bit stupid.
Short and to the point.
Kinda like Eddie Murphy, a young Eddie Murphy,
or any of the Wayans brothers.
It's a little edgy, but it doesn't get nasty
to the point where I'm offended by anything.
It's universal comedy, meaning, even though it's young guys
and young people using that terminology,
the humor, it's available to everyone.
I mean, I was laughing at it, and I'm an old fogy.
(Finebros) Did you think anything crossed the line?
Was anything too offensive?
No, not at all. That's what even made it better.
I don't feel offended in any of it.
I just was trying to figure out what the hell was going on.
No, not really offensive.
Just that I just didn't think it was that funny.
It's supposed to be funny evidently.
I don't like the bad language.
I think he could've done without that.
They were kind of hardcore for younger people.
As elders, we want to clean things up.
But let it go.
(Finebros) So all these clips come from the social media app
that we've talked with you about before called Vine.
Yes.
Yeah, where did I hear about that?
(Finebros) Here. We told you about it.
Oh yeah, last time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See, it stuck.
(Finebros) Unlike some of the Vines
we've showed you here in the past
that were kind of like a fad that everybody was doing,
this guy is different.
He makes shorts and little stories using the Vine format.
Smart.
(Finebros) Would you ever have imagined that someone would be
this entertaining in a six-second format?
No.
Your head doesn't even get around that.
I would not have believed
that he could have packed that into six seconds.
Not at all. I would've said,
"Really? Not possible."
But I even make mistakes every now and then.
You can do so much in six seconds if you're really creative.
That's harder than it looks.
I would've been like, "You can't do anything in six seconds.
You can't tell a story in six seconds."
And this guy did it.
Congratulations. It's great.
(Finebros) Vine now has over 100 million users.
(shaky gasp)
(Finebros) And King Bach is number one on Vine.
- He has the most followers. - Really?
That surprises me.
(Finebros) He has over 11 million people who follow his videos.
Wow.
That's successful there.
Oh my gosh. Is that more than...
- (Finebros) About to be. - ...us?
Very soon, he will have more followers
than we have YouTube subscribers,
- and he did it in about two years. - Wow.
Stop!
Is it mainly young people?
- (Finebros) It is. - Yes.
(Finebros chuckles) Why do you say that?
Well, because I wondered why
I didn't think anything was so funny.
I thought, "Uh-oh, this is a sign."
(Finebros) Can you imagine from where technology
and entertainment has gone in your lifetime
that we'd be at a place now that a six-second video
would be entertaining compared to how entertainment used to be?
No.
Nothing really makes sense anymore.
I'm totally surprised.
I see TV getting pushed in the corner.
I can't keep up with it at all.
I'm at Facebook, that's it.
Look at where we've come from Alexander Graham Bell.
I've seen it all from the 29ths all the way up to here.
There were no talkies. Everything was silent.
For a dime, I could go to the movies.
I mean, those were the days.
(Finebros) Back to King Bach,
before Vine, he was pursuing acting.
And due to him making his own success,
he now has famous people in his Vines often
and appears on television frequently
and has feature films in development.
More power to him.
(Finebros) What do you think about him
being this all-around performer and actor
and helping himself get there via his own short content?
Well, I think that's wonderful.
He is brilliant.
He's got that entrepreneurship.
It doesn't take anything but a phone to do what he's doing.
It's cheap for him, he can actually do it,
and he has a way of putting it up there. I think it's brilliant.
In the past, a painter could paint, a writer could write.
But actors had to sit around and wait for someone to hire them.
And so I admire people who just, you know,
take the bull by the horns and create it.
God bless 'em.
(Finebros) So finally, do you think this is just the beginning
and he has a very big career ahead of him?
I don't think it's gonna work out.
More than likely.
Absolutely.
Only thing stopping him is him.
For sure. And probably it's--
you're probably gonna see a lot more King Baches too.
Yeah, he'll be on TV or be doing movies.
I think he definitely, as long as he stays focused.
KB is now one of my heroes.
