(Superwoman) Texting is my favorite form of communication.
It is my life, yes. Judge me.
I love her, but I'm paying so much more attention
to her T-shirt than what she is saying,
'cause I also love Dragon Ball Z.
(Superwoman) I'm hood. Hood. Hood.
I can't stand people like that, when they cannot text correctly.
I send the F-word sometimes. But it never ever just goes with it.
It always says "duck." I'm like, "Grr! No!"
(Superwoman) Like, "Hey, how's it going?"
And the reply's, "Hey! Oh my god! I'm good! How are you?"
I text a lot of people like that.
And I feel like the best thing to do
when you're texting someone like that
is to respond with equal excitement.
Like, "Hey! I've been good! How about you?!"
- (Superwoman) One love, Superwoman. - And that's a wra--
I can't talk. Zoop!

(Finebros) So she calls her YouTube channel "Superwoman."
Yeah, she's not Superwoman. Superwoman is white and blonde.
(Finebros) Why do you think she stands out?
There's a lot of people on YouTube, but she's now becoming
one of the most popular channels on the whole site.
I mean, I think that's-- I mean, it's so hard to gauge
what works on YouTube and what doesn't.
The most popular vlog channels are the people who don't really,
like, talk to a camera but rather talk to a friend.
She just has this sort of connection with the audience.
She does those rants that are relatable,
but she also does skits that are relatable too.
If I knew about that when I failed my last math test,
that'd be wonderful.
But I didn't and I got grounded.
(Finebros) And a lot of people say about YouTubers like Lilly
that they are very relatable, and you feel like
you're their friend when you watch their content.
Do you feel that way when you watch videos like this?
That's not the types of feelings I get when I watch YouTube.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, she seems like she'd be really cool to hang out with.
Yeah. It feels like I'm just scrolling through her Tumblr.
It's such a weird feeling. It's like when you read a book,
and you become so attached to a character
that you don't even want to leave that world.
Like, that sounds really creepy.
When something happens in their life,
I feel like I'm happy for them,
because we have such a close relationship at the point.
But in reality, it's just a person on the Internet
who I've never even met,
and they most likely won't even ever seen my comments.
Sad life.
You just sort of feel like you know a lot about them,
sometimes even more than you know a lot about people
who are in your life.
Like, I probably know a lot more about Dan Howell than I do
that one kid in the back of my class who I haven't spoken with.
(regretfully) That sounds really bad out loud.
(Finebros) So Lilly's heritage is Indian.
Do you know any other Indian celebrities?
Oh my god.
Hold on. Hold on. I'm thinking.
(snickers) No.
Is the dude from Harold & Kumar Indian?
- (Finebros) Yes. - Okay, Kal Penn.
Aziz Ansari from Parks and Recreation.
Mindy Kaling.
Is that how you pronounce it? Yes! Okay.
Yeah, I know a good amount, actually.
I mean, like, Bollywood is full of them.
Amitabh Bachchan.
Salman Khan. He's, like, my hero bro.
Like, that's what got me into lifting weights.
I mean, yeah, definitely. The whole culture, I know all about it.
Like, I relate it a lot, even though they're Indian.
Our values, culture-- like, they're pretty aligned.
And I can relate to almost everything they talk about.
(Finebros) Well, one of the things that Lilly talks about
of her passion for what she does
is wanting to represent her culture,
because there's very few entertainment comedians
that are of her heritage.
What do you think about that aspect
that that is something that drives her?
I think really it just broadens your horizon.
It makes you realize how big the world is
and how many possibilities everybody has,
not just the stereotypical 20-year-old middle class
male heterosexual white guy.
If your culture doesn't have that opportunity
and a lot of things
but then someone's representing your culture in a good way,
then that's something to feel accomplished about.
There hasn't been this sort of expansion
beyond the stereotype casting
of different races in show business.
And I think it's really cool that she wants to break the mold,
because obviously she isn't a stereotype,
'cause she's herself there.
Yeah, even in general, I think in that culture,
most women are, I would say, suppressed in general.
Like, they have a certain role.
And comedy on this type of scale and on YouTube
isn't really expected out of them.
Everyone can see that, and the stereotype kinda breaks down.
(Finebros) So when you watch Lilly's videos
and the different types of stuff that she makes,
- does it make you want to watch more? - Not really.
Oh, you're cool. Keep doing what you're doing.
I'ma go do my thing.
Yes! Yes!
Yes. I am definitely going to subscribe when I get home.
I love being on the show,
because I get to see so many YouTubers that I don't even know.
Which I'm gonna definitely check her out.
- Oh yes. - Yeah.
Oh my god. I would watch her 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
365 days a year. She's freakin' gorgeous.
