Real or Fake: YouTube Sensations
WiredYouTube: the platform that made it possible to get famous for videos other than sex tapes. Get hot tips every “sexy Wednesday,” along with face-plants and crotch shots on “OH SNAP Monday.” Ryan ToysReview is pretty self-explanatory: A small child named Ryan reviews toys. He has one of the top 50 most-viewed videos of all time, “HUGE EGGS Surprise Toys Challenge with Inflatable water slide.” OR: In 2007, Annie Walker and Kari Okaze introduced the world to their Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen parodies. Jenna Marbles’ channel features videos like “Drunk Makeup Tutorial,” “Things Guys Lie About,” “What’s the Best Mascara to Cry In,” and our personal fave, “I Let My Dogs Walk Me for a Day.” She also posts reaction videos of herself … watching her old videos. Easiest money I’ve ever made freelancing.” —Elise Craig, frequent writer of Real or Fake — Real: Dude Perfect; KSI; Ryan ToysReview; Jenna Marbles — Art by Ariel Davis This article appears in the October issue.
