- Hi everyone, my name is Tyler Oakley
and today I felt like just hanging out,
chillin with you guys, answering some questions.
Let's see what you want to know.
Emma says, why are the Kardashians famous?
The Kardashians are famous because they decided
not to be defined by one *** shaming incident
that happened how many years ago?
And instead take control of their situation.
And they are incredibly smart business people so,
I don't have any problem with it,
and if the general public is going to eat it up,
why are we to blame the Kardashians?
Shouldn't we be looking at ourselves
if we have a problem with that?
Just food for thought.
Aoife says, react to this picture of my rabbit
fighting my dog. Oh my god, this is literally
Pokemon in real life, like what is going on here?
I am very intrigued by the ferocity of your rabbit,
and I am literally your dog,
I would probably be terrified of this huge hare.
Somebody's gonna drag me in the comments
and be like, ooh well, let me tell you
the difference between a hare and a rabbit.
Merchoakley says, can you read this word?
Oh, it's one of my favorite words,
and almost was in my book.
Akak-pag-bad-dad-gab, oh, god.
Akak-pag-bad-abag-bag. Oh my god it's so hard.
Akak-pag-bad, hmm.
Akak-pag-bad-abag-badab. Oooh I think I got that.
Akak-pag-bad-aga oh, that's a hard word.
I want you guys to send me your attempts to use this word,
with the hastag akak-pag-bag-abag, this.
Hailey says, is there going to be any way to
meet you at Vidcon?
Yes, there will be plenty of ways to meet me at Vidcon.
I am going this year, but there is one way that will get
you a personal meet and greet.
I am working on partnership with Benzac
to take a stand against bullying.
Now as y'all know, acne can really affect your
self image during a really challenging part of your life.
Benzac empowers teens to take control of their lives,
and their acne, and, they are hosting a contest.
All you have to do is submit a video talking about
a personal experience when you've had to take control
to solve a problem in your life.
So, for example maybe you had bad grades
so you took control by getting a tutor.
Or maybe you were being bullied online,
so you took control by blocking the haters.
If you are the winner, you are going to win a trip
for two to Vidcon, and you're gonna get a personal
meet and greet with me.
Thank you Benzac for working in partnership with me
on this. I am so excited to not only meet somebody
at Vidcon, but also to encourage taking control
of your life and standing up for yourself. I love that.
Again, all of the details are in the description below,
and be sure to check back to vote for your favorites.
Tioli says, what's your biggest milestone you've hit?
I've just hit 150 subscribers on YouTube,
and to me, that's amazing.
Well, Tioli, to me that also is amazing.
I would say my biggest milestone is not necessarily
subscriber count based. I like to track my progress
as a YouTuber based on the videos that I make.
Not the reach that I have, or the amount of people
that just happen to push subscribe,
I would definitely say the biggest milestone
you can have as a YouTuber is uploading you first
video. And I know, I say that all the time,
but like, that is the biggest hurdle any YouTuber
can face. Would you rather a bagel shaped armadillo
or an armadillo shaped bagel?
Oh my god, as somebody who loves carbs,
as somebody who can't get enough of carbs,
but, I do like an armadillo, I mean I've
never hung out with an armadillo,
I like dogs, are armadillos kinda like dogs?
I feel like armadillos are just like hard-bodied
dogs, I don't know. My only interaction with
any type of armadillo is san true.
So I'm gonna have to go with the bagel,
cuz I would eat that, but then again
I would probably eat an armadillo,
like lord knows I'm not a vegetarian.
Listen, I don't know.
Are you excited about working with camp17
and doing hashtag best camp ever in August?
I am so excited for this. If you don't know already,
I am running a summer camp with my buddy
Bethany Mota. It is this August,
and if you'd like to come and you are between
the ages of 10 and 17, you are welcome to register.
There are still some spots available,
and I keep hearing from so many of you
that have already registered and are excited about it.
I too am excited, I cannot wait to just hang out
with you, in an atmosphere that's not based on
waiting in line to get a picture with a YouTuber,
you know what I mean? Like it's gonna be
an opportunity to for us to actually hang out.
All the details about that are in the description,
I hope to see you there.
Rachel says, what was the last text message
you sent and received? I'm a little nervous about this.
Oh, I got a text, literally one minute ago from
my friend Dolan. He was my best friend from middle
school and high school and, he says,
hey buddy, what's up? I'm gonna say, just filming a video.
Now I just talked about you in it, ha.
Arcticoakley says, have you hugged someone today?
I didn't hug anybody yet today.
I haven't left my apartment, how sad is that.
I should hug someone, I should hug me.
I'm gonna hug me, this is nice.
Kate says, what is your favorite Snapchat filter?
I am the most basic *** alive, which means
that I love the dog Snapchat filter,
I think it's the cutest thing in the world.
I'm only on Snapchat for the puppy filter.
But yeah, that is all I have for you guys today.
I just wanted to do a quick little Q and A,
so I hope you liked it. If you do,
be sure to give it a thumbs up,
and I wanna know, what is your favorite Snapchat filter?
