My dad has never been more disappointed in me
I hope you make it. Upvote!
That was way catchier than I expected.
You know what…I went in expecting to hate it.. left a subscriber.
Love his [Channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4AKh5pA4_EHEx8jr0yXV8A/videos). Never stop.
Wants to do something he knows paren’t won’t like
– Parent encourages prudence, suggests YouTube-ing while staying in school as a fallback
Nah, school sucks
– Parent gets impatient, says that more traditional sources of income would be preferable
HAHA, FUCK HIM, LET ME MASH UP THE CALL HE DIDN’T KNOW I WAS RECORDING. HE LOOKS SOOOO STUPID

Benjamin’s dad is a wise man.
Well, it really depends on if youtube guy is making money or not.
Making money, can support yourself? Fine, have at it.
Not making money, I have to support you, and you won’t go get a job that makes money? Go fuck yourself and get a real job.
I’m slightly more disappointed than dad.
Apply yourself kid. Do both.
I really want this guy to do well but there hasn’t been a song he’s made that I actually liked or laughed at since the viral one.
Reminder: Need to get condoms.
He has 4 videos uploaded in 3 months I don’t think he’s going full time. He probably just scripted that audio.
you cant go to school while filming youtube stuff?
Is this the same guy who did the “Don’t be so lazy get up and clean your room” song?
No such thing as a “real job”, only successful ones. And that can definitely be done as a Youtuber.
I think he’s genuinely a super naturally funny dude. Watched all four videos had a smile on my face through all. Subscribed.
Don’t give up Benjamin. All of us who thought about doing the same and never did are behind you. Shh! Don’t turn around.
using the actual, real concern that your father has for you in doing well and succeeding with your life as a punchline seems a little concerning, to be honest.
and reacting to your dads attempts to understand and reason with you by just memeing at him seems like youre just acting like a shithead for the camera.
not a good look, bud
This kid should forget about the youtube stuff and get himself a real job.
Only 4 videos uploaded. He will have to see if he can continue this
Wow, he has a face made for radio
Mirror?
What did you eat for cereal this morning?
Wtf he has only made four videos in the last year!? if he’s doing this full-time he’s doing a pretty half assed job with it. Most successful YouTubers work their fucking asses off and produce regular content.
Am I the only one who feels like this was staged so he can make a fresh YouTube Video? Everyone has all these wise words and opinions on what he should do but I do not think it was meant to be taken seriously.
His dad is right.
Id be disappointed too
I disagree with this thread entirely. If it’s his passion and he’s clearly really good at it, go for it. His age is definitely the time to take a risk like trying to make it on youtube.
Also 4 videos posted all of which got a ton of views… he’s off to a great start.
Benjamin has a great face for radio…
Honestly, he’s talented enough to be a good youtube.. he’s just too unattractive. I don’t wanna see that face on a video. It’s sad but true.
If he was better looking, he would be pushing 300k subs by now with the content he makes. If he was female, several million.
“It’s my passion. I do it for the subscribers. For the fans.”
I can’t describe it very well but something about the look in his eyes says he can’t think past maybe 2 days into the future.
This was hilarious
why ARE ALL THE FUCKING VIDEOS BLOCKED WHEN I GET TO THEM
lol i love this vid
it’s not good
This wasn’t that awful. Hope he gets popular because that dad character deserves more appearances.
I don’t have a real job and I don’t even make youtube videos.
I’m just waiting for death to take me.
Any day now.
I’m 23, make more than twice what my dad did raising me, and I hate life. I’m quitting so I can move back home where people care about me and I can go back to being creative. The job I’m gonna get is just a job. If you don’t live outside of work, you will not be happy.
Since this post is blowing up more than the other one, here is a c&p of [my comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/6pb35o/musicians_dad_tells_him_to_get_a_real_job_turns/dkofeih/?context=3):
You can see in some of his videos ([TP](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt4ks-JFRMk&feature=youtu.be&t=23s) & [Date](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvPVXVmJwnE&feature=youtu.be&t=1m6s)) that he has a poster on his wall titled [*The Traits of Virality*](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/17596083_101822437029185_8196215979357765632_n.jpg). From what I understand, this is one of the lessons from Jumpcut’s [Viral Academy](https://app.jumpcut.com/courses/course/viral-entrepreneur-academy), which aims to provide:
>A step-by-step course that teaches you how to start a successful YouTube channel and grow it into a full-time income.
Jumpcut is run (possibly founded?) by Kong and Jesse from the channel [Simple Pickup](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFns-k9UgOhVRnKHdynzU2A??), a YouTube channel dedicated to picking up women (I’m pretty sure this is an OG YouTube channel, as I used to watch it in my early teens). It looks like Jumpcut is where viral fanboys want to go to become online celebrities, and I think this Ben guy has probably completed that course and is active in the Jumpcut alumni community. Here’s where my conspiracy theory gets weird…
Remember the [‘flipping dildos’ guy/guys](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otSdvba4HZ0) who went viral for flipping a dildo as a ‘0 Subscriber Special’? Well, their latest video features none other than… [Ben](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpxYelD6z8I). My theory is that Ben and the dildo guys were both alumni from Jumpcut and both managed to use the skills they learned to go viral. Once the dildo guys reached a certain level of fame, they gave a very obvious shoutout to Ben.
This whole ‘buying viral celebrity status’ really makes me wonder how organic viral videos and rising YouTube celebrities really are. Is it all some artificial game that we don’t see or hear about, but are the players in? How many other YouTubers have bought their way into fame? Is the narrative of the ‘humble beginnings’ YouTuber really true when the YouTuber paid their way into this game?
Sorry for the rant, I really need to do something better with my time than investigating this sorta shit.
**TL;DR: My theory is that Ben and the dildo flippers bought their way into YouTube fame**

That song is a mess
His dad is right but he should put it in a different way if he wants to sell it to his son. “Benjamin i know that you love this and that it is your passion and i encourage you to follow your dreams but i believe that you must think about the possibility of this failing and needing another job. If you continue your studies you will always be able to survive and continue your passion even when times are hard. If you go full time on youtube and suddenly it’s maybe not working like it should anymore, then you may have problems finding a good job. Employers don’t like to see that you were not employed for a long time.” Also I can tell anybody that if you do your own stuff for some years that you will unlearn how real workplaces work and at what speed some people work.
I fockin lolled, fuck it.
ITT: People who are taking this video way too seriously.
This would have been a good idea when YouTube was in its peak. But at the moment it’s basically a clusterfuck and incredibly hard to get viewers or make money. Hell the whole advertiser issue is still going on.
As for the people bitching at the dude who plays in a band. Let the guy enjoy his life, he’s not affecting yours and really who’s to say that he’s not saving money on the side and investing in his craft. There are no jobs that are a gurantee, and most that try to act like it. End up being miserable and depressing. Plus with the music, he still has other options like learning how to market his image, be a manager and other such things.
Yeah but was he slow?
jesus fuck how did somebody train a sad albino turtle to speak english?
I sincerely hope this guy makes it.
Haha, good joke
this guy needs to also make other types of videos except have dope home made music backing them
at him, not with him.
That song sucked.
12000 subscribers. I don’t think he understands YouTube.
youtubers will be fucked in the zombie apocalypse
He should probably listen to his dad.
Benjamin is an idiot
Holy fuck those youtube comments got me good.
“When am I gonna get the eyebrow DLC?”
He should listen to his dad.
Relatable video
So many serious comments in this thread, yall believe that it’s serious? 😛
lol there’s no type of person i hate more than this dudes dad (if this is even real)
Did everyone just turn into this guys fucking life coach?
I’d like to hear how and why people are taking this seriously.
Reading this thread has made me realize reddit is full of fucking squares
Benjamin, listen to your dad….
