- Oh my god! - Jesus Christ, dude! What is this?!

- (Brandon) Hey, I'm Brandon... - Oh, it's Brandon Rogers.
- We're doing this! We're doing this!
- (Brandon) These are some of the people that I take credit for.
- Okay... Oh my god. (laughs)
- Oh, I've seen some of his sketches!
- Did we react to him already? Did I react to him?
I can't remember if I liked him or not.
- (Eric) I can't get behind it, guys.
- (Ignacio) Oh my goodness.
- (Sebastian) This is for my D-minus!
(poop splats) - (chuckles) Oh my god!
(poop splats) - (laughs)
Don't know who this is, but I [bleep] with it already.
- (Sam) ...I'm gayer than a box of crayons.
- (man) You're not gay? - (Sam) Nope. Straight as a dick.
- (laughs) - (Blame) ...sometimes my grandma
calls me... - He's a good actor.
I tell her, (clicks tongue) "I'm fine, bitch."
- (laughs)
- (Bryce) My name is Bryce... - Oh my gosh.
Why is a prettier girl than me? - (Bryce) ..than the face
of a charity... - Who is this?
- (laughs)
- (Ball) Hello, my name is Coach Ball Brownstein.
- Dude, I love Brandon Rogers.
He's like classic Shane Dawson on steroids.
- He has so many characters. - (Jürgen) Where the [bleep]
are you finding me these obese cows? - Oh my god! I-- oh my god!
- (Jürgen) She appears upset. - (laughs)
This guy is crazy. - (Jürgen) Is this purple?
This feels like a purple to me. - I like this blind fashion guy.
- (Frank) I'm just gonna come out and say it, I've always wanted
to be with a black man... - Oh my god.
- (Barbara) [Bleep] you, Frank. - (Frank) I've been wanting you to
for years! - (laughs) Oh my god.
- (Barbara choking) - [Frank] See the way she teases me?
- Oh! No.
- [Frank] See how ready I was for that?!
- (laughs)
- This is one of his most famous ones.
- That's one of my favorite characters.
His [bleep] grandfather is the best.
- (Helen) My name is Helen Brownstein,
and I've been a personal trainer-- - (man) Not so close to the camera?
- (laughs) I love that!
- (Helen) I filled it with 5-hour Energy.

(alarm blaring) - (Kathy) [Bleep]!
- My favorite! - Oh my god.
It's too much. - Jesus Christ.
Dude, what is this? - (Kathy) Wake up
your [bleep] sister! - (laughs)
- (Kathy) Hurry up! We're losing time!
- (chuckles) I can't, 'cause this is me today.
- (Kathy) The shower's gonna have to be PTA: pits, tits, ass.
- (laughs)
- (Ball) I asked my doctor, "Is it normal for the male cats
to lactate?" Turns out, I was playing with its penis.
- Oh my god!
- (Ball) Turns out, I was playing with its penis.
- (groans) Oh man. - (Lord Mingeworthy) Oh,
I say we've been British for about seven years now.
- He needs to be on SNL.
- This is probably his most odd video.
- (Lady Mingeworthy) Darling, are you in the study?
- (Lord Mingeworthy) Yes, darling. I'm having my foreskin re-attached.
Yes, hello. We're British.
...having my foreskin re-attached. - OHH!
- (Sharita) My name's Sharita Repulsa.
I am an intergalactic star witch.
- This should've been the new Power Rangers reboot.
- (Sharita) Why? Because I'm evil. I'm so evil, I smoke cigarettes.
- Oh my god. (chuckles) That's funny.
- (Sam) ...is acting all fancypants. I can't hold it.
Oh god, here we go. - Oh my god.
- What stores let him do this? - A one-man show.
- (Arlo) I've put everything into this show,
and I'm not gonna let some piece of [bleep]
production assistant ruin it for me! - (woman) Arlo, the kids
have been waiting for autographs. - Oh!
- (Arlo) And they shall receive...
- Oh my god. - This guy is a comical genius.
He needs his own TV show. - Why doesn't he have
his own show on TV?
- (Sebastian) ...is turning my penis into an alien hand!
- (laughs) - (Ignacio) Are you okay, Sebastian?
You don't look... - Oh! [Bleep].
- (Dorian) [Bleep] off, Janet. I'm not going to your
[bleep] baby shower. - (laughs)
I've seen that on Twitter. - (Dorian) Move, I'm gay.
- (laughs) - (grandpa) Some bullshit!
- Yeah, that character. We reacted to him.
- (Helen) I've worked with a lot of pussies in the past.
- Oh my god, his mouth. - (Jürgen) Don't worry.
I'm going around the back. Can anyone hear me?
- I think this is my favorite character.
- (Jürgen) I'm lost in my own art. - (Sharita) Bitch, you think
you can hold me? I know magic. - (laughs) What the [bleep]?
- (Sharita) Have fun at the grocery story, [bleep]!
- (Sebastian) Deflector! - (Sharita yells)
- (chuckles) Oh wow.
- (Sharita) ...have to land in the goddamn frozen...
- Oh no, bro. It's not even-- this guy is really out here
with nothing on. - It's overboard.
- (Sharita) I'm evil! - (laughs)
- Jesus. Oh [bleep]!
- (Kathy) Do you know what candy corn's made out of?
Dildo bits. - True. I believe that.
- Who the f-- Brandon Rogesr? I need to google him after.
What the [bleep]? - Dude, that was painful to watch.
- I love a lot of his characters,
but some of them are just too gross.
- Damn. I did not know he had that many characters.
That is insane. - He's just like
a one-man wrecking crew, man. I thought it was gonna be silly
and whatever, but no. The guy has talent.
- This kind of scripted, character-style stuff
is no longer favored on the platform.
So it's really cool to see someone who does it succeed.
- (FBE) So that was a channel trailer
for the YouTube channel, Brandon Rogers.
- Oh my gosh. I'm subscribing as soon as I'm done here.
He's so amazing. - (FBE) If you were someone
completely new to the channel, and you had never seen
or heard of him before, and you saw this video,
what would be some big takeaways from it?
- I'll get offended. I mean, this dude is pretty much
trying to get views. We should not encourage these things.
- I like humor that comes from the character.
I would be into it and really liking it,
and then he would throw up on somebody,
and I'd be like, (bangs desk) "Stop. You ruined it."
- Acting is A1. He can play so many different people
and personalities and roles. That's hilarious.
- I love smart comedy about stupid things and stupid people,
and so many of his characters are ridiculous caricatures
of different stereotypes, and he portrays them perfectly.
- I come from the era of Def Comedy Jam,
so it was always edgy. You talked about race.
If it offends you, I mean, it's not serious. It's satirical.
- Comedy is one of my favorite things in life.
Comedy is what I turn to in any moment in life.
And I just hate that we can't make fun of anything anymore.
- In my eyes, the more [bleep] up it is,
the funnier it is. If you can make someone go,
"Oh my god. That's just wrong." Perfect.
- (FBE) Well, Brandon has been posting videos YouTube since 2006.
- Damn. That's wild. - Wow. Oh, so he's OG-OG.
- (FBE) But he started to take up arguably when a clip from one
of his videos on Vine went viral called "Try Me, Bitch."
- Oh. (chuckles) Wow, I didn't see that.
- I remember the "Try Me, Bitch" grandpa episode.
- That's what I know him from 'cause we reacted to that.
- (Adam chuckles) Just the bad graphics of the thing.
- (FBE) When we did a Teens React to that trend, in the episode,
we talked about how Brandon had a little over 100,000 subscribers.
And since that video, he now has over three million subscribers
in two years. - Damn. Oh wow.
- What? Oh my god. That has three million?
- (FBE) So what do you think about being on YouTube
for almost a decade and then exploding
to success after all that time? - That's so cool,
because he's doing it because he loves it.
It's not because he wanted to be famous.
- You have to grind for those years coming in.
And that's how it's gonna be. It's gonna be a long slope of this,
and then all of a sudden, just boom!
Straight up, you're just gonna be big.
- An overnight success is a story of 10 years or five years
of work in the back that no one knows about.
And he's grinding, you know, doing his thing, releasing stuff,
'cause if he stopped, that "Try Me, Bitch" thing
would have never happened and never got out.
- He wasn't like a one-hit wonder or a 15-seconds-of-fame
kind of deal, you know? Because he was just genuinely
creating the humorous, offensive content,
dark humor content that he wanted to make.
And that little piece blew up, but all his other videos,
I feel, could've easily blew up
if people took the time to watch 'em.
- (FBE) There are many YouTubers who have signature characters
that they portray on their channels. - I think it's awesome.
I mean, that's what I do. I do sketches, so I'm,
you know, into that. - Miranda Sings, obviously.
- I remember all of Shane Dawson's, like Shananay and Aunt Hilda.
- (FBE) But that is not the norm anymore.
So what do you think about him still having an entire channel
of different warped characters that he portrays
compared to what most do on YouTube now?
- I love it, 'cause I literally was just
talking to someone the other day. I was like, "I miss when YouTube
was more sketches, 'cause I don't like vlogs."
- Nowadays, all YouTubers are doing is either cinematic
or lifestyle vlogs, challenges, trends.
And skits almost get no traction. - YouTube started and it was a place
for outcasts with cameras that just wanted to post stuff
because they made it, and they wanted a place
to put it on, and it was interesting and creative and weird,
and now it's a corporation, and it's a business,
and everything is about how many views you can get.
- (FBE) So finally, as we mention a lot
when we cover YouTubers here, there's a good chance Brandon
will be watching this episode. - Damnit. (laughs)
No, I feel like I was fair. - (FBE) So what would you wanna say
to him about his channel and career? - Okay. Brandon, listen.
You're an amazing, talented person.
You do not need to push the envelope that much.
- I'm sorry I never really looked you up before,
but you are so funny, and so hilarious.
I'm gonna go subscribe right now. - You are a comical genius.
You need to keep doing this shit,
because I watch it and I eat it alive.
It's amazing. - I need more of this on YouTube.
You have a fan base that loves this shit,
and I am along with them.
