- 1 million subs.
That is crazy, bro.
I guess it's time for me to create a bunch
of controversies and see how fast I can lose all of them.
To celebrate hitting a million subscribers,
I'm gonna be giving away a million euros
to homeless persons all over the city.
Let's go.
Okay, actually, we're gonna be giving away five euros
and then use my last 20 for lunch at Chipotle.
And guys, no extra guac this time.
Now that we've reached a million subscribers,
it's time for me to come clean.
I'm really just a Hollywood actor
hired by a production company.
I had to audition for this role.
This channel has professional writers, designers, directors.
Everything you thought was real and authentic
is fake. (echoing)
Or is it?
Reality reveal at 5 million subscribers.
Apparently I hit a million subscribers a couple months ago.
Cool.
I guess.
Anyway, moving on.
We did it guys.
We hit a million subscribers.
I know that most of you who watch aren't subscribed
and most of you who are subscribed don't watch.
So it's kind of like a meaningless number,
but still it's kind of cool, right?
Think about it.
This is the equivalent of filling up 10 football stadiums.
Now, if I could just find a way to charge
each of my subscribers $50 for admission,
$20 for a hamburger, and $10 for a sodie pop, I'd be set.
When I was a student of the theater in university,
I was delighted when even 20 people would show up
to watch a play that I was acting in.
But now that I have a million subscribers
watching my videos, it's so much better,
because I can't watch them fall asleep in the front row
five minutes into the show.
Now that I've reached a million subscribers,
I really think it's time
for me to shake things up and try something new.
(bells tinkling)
Don't freak out.
It's a fresh new look, but the same old me.
I think.
So what, a million people saw my beautiful face
and were charmed by my irresistible personality
and decided to click the Subscribe button.
It's not like it's gone to my head.
Oh look, 1,000,010 subscribers.
And still they come.
Shout out to my haters who said I would never make it.
That's right, Aunt Hilda.
I remember how you said I should give up
on my dreams of being an influencer and just get a job
at the shoe store where our family
has humbly worked for generations.
How you like me now?
I've been thinking about this for a while.
And now that I have reached this milestone,
I think it's time for me to take
an indefinite break from YouTube.
(clock ticking)
Okay, I'm back!
I'm gonna teach you how to get a million subscribers
by making videos like this.
I'm gonna teach you how to get a million subscribers
by making videos like this.
I'm gonna teach you how to get a million subscribers
by making videos like this.
I'm gonna teach you how to get a million subscribers
by making videos like this.
I'm gonna teach--
My secret to achieving this milestone?
Just being my awesome self.
And having parents that let me live
at home unemployed until I was 30.
But mostly the first part.
This is incredible.
A million people have validated my existence,
or at least the inaccurate projection of my existence
that they have created based on the small window
they have into my life,
which is seen through a heavily distorted lens of editing.
(suspenseful music)
(sighing)
A million followers, big deal.
Anyone can get a million followers.
I mean, my old coworker, Timmy,
could get a million followers and he's an idiot sandwich.
I am not celebrating until I hit a billion followers.
That's right, a billion with a B.
The world would be a better place
if 1/8 of the population was following me.
That's for sure.
I think it's best for me not to even think about
the number of subscribers,
because then it might start to get to me
how much influence this is, how much responsibility it is,
how many eyeballs are now looking at
every new piece of content I put out there.
And I don't wanna psych myself out.
Okay, time to make another video.
Let's go.
