abstract | - The channel posted its first video, "Interpretations Trailer," on April 30, 2010. This was followed by eighteen other videos, posted through February 2012. It is unclear if the videos posted prior to the channel's official unveiling in June 2012 are related to the current channel. YouTube picked up the concept and funded it as its eightieth funded channel. The new channel debuted in 2012 June 3 with an introductory video entitled "IT HAS BEGUN: BANANAPOCALYPSE." The video featured celebrities including Jessica Alba, Gillian Jacobs, Wayne Brady, and Masi Oka. It received more than one million views within two weeks, and the channel gained 100,000 subscribers in a day. The channel is based on the Asian American pop culture blog, You Offend Me You Offend My Family.
