- Hi, I'm David Dobrik, and these are my firsts-ts-ts.
(upbeat music)
First prank you pulled on someone.
Well this isn't really a prank,
but I remember I told my mom once
that I got busted at school for drugs,
and they found drugs in my locker.
She started crying,
and I was like,
and then I let her cry for a little bit,
and then I was like, I'm just kidding.
I just got a D in math,
and I go, see, it could be a lot worse.
And yeah, she's mad about the D,
but not as mad about me making her cry for 10 minutes.
That was my first prank.
Sorry mom.
First kiss.
Ooh, coming soon.
I was 13, no I was 17.
It was under this gazebo,
and it was super planned.
I was talking to this girl,
and I was like,
I was like we're gonna kiss,
and we had this whole plan,
and we were like, yeah, and then we're gonna make out
and then I'm gonna touch her boobs,
and it was this whole thing,
and I was 17.
I don't know why the (beep) I was talking like that.
But yeah it was very sloppy.
I remember it was freezing out,
so my snot was running and her snot was running,
and it was just disgusting,
and I pulled away 'cause we were making out,
and I was like, this doesn't feel right,
and she goes, it's not like the movies.
It was kind of gross, but it's very memorable.
First memory that comes to mind of the vlog squad.
It has to be the first day I met Zane and Heath.
I went over to their apartment,
they were big Viners.
They had a lot of money,
and they were just living it up in LA.
I called my parents.
I'm like, everyone's rich here.
And it was insane.
I called my friends and I was like,
yeah he has, we went out to dinner
and he spent $125,
and I didn't even have to pay for any of it.
That was one of my first memories
was whoa, what are these kids doing?
And then it all went away,
'cause Vine ended.
First time you met Jason Nash.
The first time I really remember meeting him
was at a comedy club.
He was doing his standup gig.
This is when he was still doing standup.
And he was really funny,
and I asked him if he can come back
and do the same thing he did on my vlog,
and the next day he came over
and we filmed, and then ever since then
he came over everyday and we've just been filming
ever since.
First Vine.
My first Vine was, I think I was at
a grocery store with my mom.
Or I was with my brother.
I don't remember.
But it was horrible.
First YouTuber friend.
That's tough.
I'm gonna change this to first Viner friend.
Jack Dechert, the guy who works here.
Jack, come here.
This is Jack.
He actually helped me with my,
he works here now.
He helped me with my first Vine.
So I posted a Vine.
This is actually a really cool story.
I don't know why he did it but I really appreciate it.
I posted a Vine, and he was big on Vine and I wasn't,
I wasn't that big, like at all.
He DMd me on Vine, and he's like,
that Vine's really funny.
Delete it, and repost it tomorrow,
and I'll re-Vine it.
And he told me to post it at a better time,
and back then you couldn't just repost Vines.
So he taught me, he got on Skype with me
and for 30 minutes walked me through the process
of how to upload a Vine onto the app illegally,
and then I posted the Vine the next day,
and he re-Vined it,
and he got another one of his bigger Viner friends
to re-Vine it, and it did so well
and it kicked off my whole Vine career.
Genuinely kicked off my career.
Which is insane.
Thank you, Jack. - You're welcome.
- He didn't have to help me at all, but he did,
which is insane.
It's actually really cool.
Thank you.
First date.
I've never planned to go on a date.
If a date's happened, it's been because
I was hanging out with someone and then I was like,
hey let's go here instead now.
I don't think I was ever like,
wanna go get dinner tomorrow and maybe see a movie?
First car.
It's my Toyota Corolla, 2004 Toyota Corolla.
One of the best cars.
It had cloths seats, the steering was insane.
I drove it from Chicago to LA when I moved here
packed with two of my future soon to be roommates,
and all their stuff.
My friend was gonna be a musician
so he brought out his guitar, his amp,
and it was all just filled in my little Corolla.
And it's one of my favorite cars.
First time you saw your merch on someone.
That's a crazy feeling when you see someone
wearing something you made.
I don't remember, but I remember today
I landed at LAX and we ran through a group of girls
and one of them was wearing my pink click bait merch
and it's so, so crazy seeing someone wearing your clothes.
It's so unexplainable,
'cause it's one thing when a person comes up
and sees your video, but then it's another
when someone has gone out of their way
to purchase an item to support you.
I don't know, it's the best.
It's the best feeling.
First memory of moving to America.
My first memory is we were surprising my mom.
I flew over by myself when I was six,
and my dad told my mom I was coming in
a couple days later.
So my dad picked me up at the airport,
I was in tears 'cause I flew by myself
and I was so scared,
and then we drove over to the apartment
where my parents were living at,
and my dad went in first
and I waited three minutes,
and I knocked on the door,
and my mom answered,
and I remember just her,
I remember I was here,
and I remember her looking right over my head
'cause I was this small,
and then she looked down.
She was like. (gasps)
That's my first memory.
That was really cool.
See I did a nice thing for my mom,
and then I made her cry.
First time you were recognized in public.
I remember when I first started to get recognized.
Not my closer friends, but my friends in school
would be like, you set that up, right?
They would think,
I remember when there was a fan account
that had my name.
It was David Dobrik something,
and everyone at school thought that I made the account,
and six or seven kids would come up to me
and be like why'd you make that account?
And I was like, I swear to God I didn't.
I remember, oh I remember the first time I got recognized
for my vlogs.
That was big,
because it wasn't for my Vines,
and I was on Hollywood Boulevard
and this girl walks up to me, she goes,
I love your vlogs, and I was getting 7,000 views a video,
and I go what?
You watch my vlogs?
And she's like, yeah, no one's come up to you?
And I was like, you're the first person to say
that you watch my vlogs.
That was nuts.
I was on my way to Buffalo Wild Wings.
First thing you do when prepping for a new video.
I wake up and I look in the mirror and I go,
let's (beep) do this.
No, I don't know.
I just wake up and I get going.
Yeah, that's it.
