Overnight Celebrity: 8 Personalities Who Blew Up on YouTube

June 1st, 2012 - By Stephanie Guerilus

YouTube is like the Hollywood of the internet. It’s where every person with a camera uploads videos in the hopes of it going viral. Some get their fleeting fame before the next person becomes the meme of the moment. It’s a vicious cycle of over the top videos competing for views but some larger than life personalities have kept a loyal audience. They’ve created their own HOV lane. Here are 10 breakout YouTube stars who keep the videos and laughs coming.

 

B. Scott

B. doesn’t make as many videos as he used to for the YouTube crowd, but that’s only because he’s broken into the mainstream. He’s been on Dr. Drew, partied with Mariah Carey and has interviewed Jennifer Lopez. He really has gone Hollywood but doesn’t forget where he got his start. B is now for his brand.

    I find nothing funny about a generation of Black men lost to homosexuality. This is sad. And all you single Black women who find humor in it, should think twice and definitely worry for your daughters. SMH

    Why was this particular video chosen for B. Scott!?… There are hundreds more entertaining, and becoming of “His” eccentric personality….

  • JustWillie@twitter

    everyone is asking why is everyone on ethe list gay or impersonating a woman. My take on that is this: A character is someone who is not “you”. What I do like is the top 8 are all men at the end of the day. Their all able to create characters that take on a life of their on. So to all the haters I say “find some character”. Shout out to “coochiness” he more than deserving of a slote, let’s just rate him #9.
