WhiteboyM is currently going viral for copying the biggest streamer in the world, iShowSpeed.
00:00:06.180
Speed gained 10 million subscribers in one year, and during that, he became known for
00:00:10.240
overreacting, juvenile humor, making himself the best actor, and acting so unnatural that
00:00:16.000
still to this day, some people can't tell if he's a character or what he is actually
00:00:22.600
Emerson copies his voice, his facial expressions, his reactions, his personal interests.
00:00:27.780
Basically, this young man studied everything about Speed's perception.
00:00:33.340
Yeah, nah, it's, it's, um, it's definitely creepy, bro, for sure.
00:00:48.200
However, Em denies all allegations of him copying.
00:00:52.060
To be honest, I do not copy Speed, you know what I'm saying?
00:00:55.040
Man, if I picked up on some of his traits, but I used to watch Speed a lot, but, like,
00:00:58.920
bro, when people say I go back and watch his streams and study it, bro.
00:01:02.360
Chad, do you guys think he copies Speed, yes or no?
00:01:05.880
His fans believe Em, because how could he live stream every single day for hours and manage
00:01:12.700
Well, he's been practicing for months, slowly getting better and better.
00:01:16.980
Just a few months ago, WhiteboyM sounded completely different.
00:01:20.640
If you guys DM me the butterfly emoji, I will follow all you guys back on Instagram.
00:01:25.080
But, yeah, man, I hope you guys did enjoy this banger video.
00:01:33.280
And y'all spamming in my chat like my IP got leaked.
00:01:36.020
But it wasn't actually iShowSpeed that inspired all of this.
00:01:53.460
But it wasn't actually iShowSpeed that inspired him.
00:01:58.260
I haven't blown up yet, bro, but I know I will blow up.
00:02:01.620
My inspiration is Aiden Ross, and he told me to speak.
00:02:11.260
You can't blame me influencing him to do this shit.
00:02:32.340
He used to go by a different character called Bluffin.
00:02:35.500
Bluffin was a little closer to an Aiden Ross clone than an iShow Speed clone.
00:02:39.020
Duh, it's your boy Bluffin, and I'm about to show you how to get sturdy like me.
00:02:44.040
I swear to God, I'm sure Siggy X, I won't beat the shit out of you, bro.
00:02:49.220
After posting his silly videos on Twitter, he managed to get followed by a FaZe Clan member,
00:02:53.920
FaZe Sway, and his whole world flipped upside down.
00:03:05.100
To be fair, Bluffin wasn't trying to get recognized for no reason.
00:03:09.100
He was trying to get the attention of a popular eSports gaming organization called Delirium.
00:03:23.300
At this point, Bluffin was making a little name for himself in the Fortnite community.
00:03:27.000
His compilations were getting a decent amount of traction on YouTube and TikTok.
00:03:30.600
But growing a solo brand in the gaming community is extremely difficult.
00:03:33.660
A lot of gamers strive to get signed by an eSports team and be exposed to a...
00:03:40.160
And targeted Delirium because they were looking for new members.
00:03:43.160
Instead of trying to become the best gamer or the most talented eSports player,
00:03:46.980
he leaned into his humor and made funny videos hoping to get noticed by the team.
00:03:52.140
We have to have a talk, you stupid little bitch.
00:04:25.480
this is what the average aiden ross viewer thinks they should do to get the attention of
00:04:31.340
hold on me delirium why this is what the average why this picture bro so chat all of you guys are
00:04:37.800
viewers right now you guys are telling me you all look like this yes or no do you guys look like
00:04:40.820
this guy yes or no do you look like this person right here yes or no aiden ross viewer thinks
00:04:44.400
they should do to get the attention of people they want to be associated with maybe his tweets
00:04:48.540
were getting likes and getting engagement but bluffing didn't seem to understand that calling
00:04:52.140
people stupid bitches doesn't typically make them want to bring him on as a team member
00:04:56.440
to no surprise he never someone said someone said white boyam or whatever the fucking name is
00:05:01.100
he speed and aiden had sex and created this like what the fuck got signed to the delirium team
00:05:06.940
face sway and shah took a liking to his funny antics sway even put a clip of bluffing singing
00:05:13.160
his intro song for a youtube video all the comments were praising m at this point he had a couple
00:05:18.040
thousand subscribers and a small following but he was about to disappear for a while he abandoned
00:05:23.000
the bluffing character and committed to the white boy m character bluffing was the hyperactive rude
00:05:28.260
suburban teenager who liked to curse a lot white boy m was where he tried to be a little bit more
00:05:32.900
smooth and candid what's up twitter man my name is bluffing as you guys can see but today i'm going
00:05:38.420

00:05:41.540

00:05:46.620
i'm gonna be pulling all the shorties with these swimming trumps are you kidding me look at me look
00:05:51.900
at me huh which one is the real him we don't know but we do know that all he wanted to do
00:05:58.580
was blow up okay to be known for the next year straight white boy m tried tons of different content
00:06:04.320
omegle interviewing people in his school vlogs pranks but none of these were getting him closer to his
00:06:10.860
dream of blowing up he had nothing to lose so at some point he just decided to copy everything that i
00:06:16.280
show speed does but white boy m is a different level of copying we've seen people copy other
00:06:21.140
people's video ideas video formats or even jokes but have we really seen anyone copy someone's
00:06:26.820
personality how did it get this bad well i wish i could tell you this was all a genius plan from the
00:06:33.120
beginning but that doesn't seem to be the case a few months ago m started live streaming every day
00:06:38.000
on youtube he would play some games go on video chat app all right bro can you guys do me a favor
00:06:42.400
bro you guys can't fully blame this shit on me bro you just can't why y'all from that emote what the
00:06:48.460
fuck like omegle call girls from his high school or interact with his chat he wasn't very entertaining
00:06:53.380
and he struggled to pique the interest of more than like 30 people during these first few streams he
00:06:58.200
talked normally or at least how we think he talks we got monkey app winning right now but on stream
00:07:05.260
number 12 something changed live with i show speed he wasn't actually live with speed this was just
00:07:10.560
a clickbait title but it was emerson's first monetized stream and he broadcasted to the most
00:07:15.760
viewers he ever had up until that point putting i show speed in the title allowed him to hit the
00:07:20.460
algorithm and reach a new audience and it worked because two days later he would go on to reach
00:07:25.160
5 000 subscribers but it was in this stream where a few people started pointing out the similarities
00:07:29.740
between the two how do i sound like speed y'all don't be making sense but i ain't gonna lie bro
00:07:35.500
up until this point nobody ever really compared him to speed and nobody ever said that you have to
00:07:40.700
consider em is from south charleston west virginia which is about 200 miles from cincinnati where speed
00:07:46.120
is from so it is possible that they could have a similar accent the 5k stream had tons of new viewers
00:07:51.240
joining and they were commenting speed clone or the white speed his reaction to reaching 5k subscribers
00:07:57.360
was the exact same way speed reacted to hitting 9 million earlier that same day okay so what do
00:08:03.300
y'all think about this kid bro do y'all fuck like what do y'all think but y'all do y'all do y'all
00:08:06.820
do y'all support white boy um do y'all think he's funny do y'all think he's cringe
00:08:10.240
oh my god what do y'all think bro nah i'm illy chat we did it
00:08:17.840
oh hell no but then something interesting happened
00:08:26.700
i show speed just subscribe no way that's the real one bro em was convinced by a troll account
00:08:34.740
that the real i show speed was watching his stream so em spent the next hour straight trying to do
00:08:40.400
everything he could to get in contact with him i was just wondering if there's any way that you can
00:08:44.980
actually give me the call with speed right now so i could like you know just talk to him on stream
00:08:49.060
have they talked before chat or not have they talked i just love speed so much and i would just
00:08:53.100
love to talk to him man appreciate it then he was dming with allegedly speed's second mysterious
00:08:58.260
instagram burner account at the very end he got in contact with this kid named joel who was followed
00:09:03.260
by speed and convinced em that he was in fact talking to the real i show speed i think this gave
00:09:08.780
emerson all the justification that he needed because if he had support from the guy he was imitating
00:09:13.900
then he could keep it up and that's exactly what he did from there on out every stream just got more
00:09:19.320
and more copycat-esque the speed this speed fuck with white boy or not chat until july 11th when he
00:09:24.640
would go viral for these clips really i have 14 out of 15 bubbles but are you serious right now bro oh
00:09:43.700
really bro are you serious right now bro are you serious right now bro i just i i i just i literally
00:09:54.740
someone posted a little compilation of em on tiktok that would lead to his subscriber count going up by
00:10:00.540
the thousands even speed reacted to it really i have 14 out of 15 bubbles bro are you serious right now
00:10:09.320
from here the tiktok virality was going crazy people were just clipping em's stream and waiting
00:10:21.320
to roast him this one got 17 million views all of this tiktok traffic was bringing people right to
00:10:26.860
em's youtube jesus christ he needed a new viral plan so he made a diss track on speed i show speed your
00:10:32.440
music is wack messy is better than auto is trash take a third day's i did it like that number 10 on the
00:10:36.800
the diss track got the attention of aiden ross so he invited emma oh my god he was cool about it
00:10:43.480
no bro i'm gonna be honest you are a weirdo bro i i i respect what you're doing no no no no no you're
00:10:50.600
a little weird bro aiden and his friends were making fun of emerson but then they also gave him props
00:10:55.080
bro listen i think you're smart as i actually like respect like we were just talking about bro like
00:11:00.800
you're actually like smart bro giving him a cosign was just what he needed to keep pursuing his
00:11:05.040
behavior how is that a coastline why are you guys saying el aiden bro how is that a fucking
00:11:08.780
then kai sanat the number one most subscribed twitch streamer in the world exactly
00:11:12.660
he tried to guide him down the right path and convince him to stop copying speed
00:11:19.100
whatever you're doing is working you're getting attention
00:11:21.380
ain't gonna lie you're getting attention it's working but it's not gonna be for the long
00:11:25.700
god you feel what i'm saying yeah man then speed reacted to the diss track speed i don't get it bro
00:11:32.480
are you serious right now right now right now i don't get it speed acting extremely normal and
00:11:40.900
almost out of character speaks volumes about how he felt he just kept saying i don't know saying he
00:11:46.180
doesn't get it or understand why em is doing this i think he genuinely didn't know if he should feel
00:11:51.180
disrespected if it's just a joke or if he should even be giving this any attention the exposure
00:11:56.720
from speed aiden and kai launched white boy m from 25k to 50k to 75 okay do you guys actually
00:12:04.420
blame me real shit don't even don't even troll do y'all blame me for real though do y'all blame me
00:12:08.200
5k subscribers in the matter of days his slogan bro are you serious right now bro became his
00:12:14.220
cash how are y'all blaming you bro since then emerson has worked on his speed accent and it is near
00:12:19.240
perfect em is full-time impersonating speed he will copy the same exact thing speed does on stream
00:12:24.440
and every couple weeks manages to go viral on tiktok i think we can all agree that emerson
00:12:32.600
is just a young kid trying to get attention for the sake of getting attention he wants to be popular
00:12:36.860
the same way that any of us wanted to be popular in school but he doesn't want to put in the years
00:12:41.240
of work that it takes to get there he doesn't realize how embarrassing this is and how he will
00:12:45.820
forever be known as the i show speed copycat so then why is it still working i think i've come
00:12:50.920
to the realization why is it working others might be the best way to build a following quickly in
00:12:55.680
the modern social media era half of his viewers are acting as if they don't like him but they
00:12:59.940
continue to give him attention the other half think it's entertaining how accurate his imitations
00:13:04.160
are this has been happening in music all right do you guys do do you guys think this shit's funny
00:13:08.480
yes or no big film and all other forms of entertainment just copy something that's popular
00:13:12.820
change it up a tiny bit it worked though it worked though it is a good way to get attention
00:13:17.400
to cause controversy to grow rapidly but it almost always comes crashing down if you want to build a
00:13:23.040
career earn a following of people who genuinely respect what you create it takes years of hard work
00:13:28.120
and dedication and if i got i gotta pee really bad you don't want to grind for that then maybe this
