Weirdly addicting content you have. I don't even know half the people you've covered, but I've binged a lot of the videos you made.

Vitaly had a great run but it is over. Beating up an innocent woman jogging took his career to a place it can never recover from.

Crazy how faking pranks was a big no no back then and nowadays it’s literally fake everything and that’s the meta

Vitaly is part of what killed the pranking scene on KZfaq forever. He started faking, then all the other big ones copied and started faking too and very quickly pranks were done. The true legend prankster of KZfaq will forever be Remi Gaillard!

Vitaly had a great run but his main problem is that he never evolved. He fell hard when the internet landscape changed and his fans grew up. Beating the shit out of someone didn't help either.

Sad to see there was a point in time where he was genuine and authentic. He should've known when to stop.

Me and some of my friends really liked Vitaly a decade ago, in about 2012 when he peaked. We were a bunch teenagers in Russia at a time when Internet access was still mediocre and many people had no computer at home to begin with. We had glimpses of the trends of the "western internet", watched some youtube here and there etc but Russia was sort of isolated from all of that. No popular content (that I knew of) was coming from Russia, and Russians in turn had no idea about any of the popular youtubers. Most things you did on the internet back then were localized, not even by country but rather by the district your ISP is set in. Oh and we were also "computer nerds" who were not, uh, particularly successful with women let's just say :) Him walking up to girls saying the weirdest shit and still getting the phone numbers was insane to us. So yeah, seeing a Russian guy living in US speaking near-perfect English being as confident as he is around women and making videos that are very popular overseas was cool back then. I think he was an inspiration figure of a sort to us, not just in his confidence with women but in how he was right in the middle of the "western internet" so to speak - something most Russians did not even know anything about back then, let alone succeed in. Looking back at it now though bothering strangers and flexing your toxic masculinity isn't exactly top notch content to say the least. We've grown up, Russia is much more connected with the global Internet now, and Vitaly's prior success seems to have inflated his already huge ego. It's interesting how times change.

Imagine being so proud of being a pioneer of one of the worst content periods in KZfaq and bragging for it years later. Some people man....

Vitaly is literally the epitome of what it means to be a Florida Man

Vitaly: I'm going to break the internet The Internet: nah man, we're going to break you.

No matter how successful or big you get. Always practice humility. Don’t let the fame go to your head.

It’s crazy how much research you do for the videos! Keep up the good work

This guy (VitalyzdTv) is just another example of why internet fame and narcissism are a dangerous mix.

Vitalyzd TV: “Prepare for trouble!” JoeySalads: “And make it double!”

I only just found your videos and I can't stop haha. If you ever retire (Please don't)... please go out with a Rise and Fall of SunnyV2 as you sign out!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work, it's super refreshing and addictive and I love how there's no BS to fluff it up.

I enjoy Sunny's videos not just the editing or the people in the video but the amount of research he uses to back up what he is saying or proof that he isn't just pulling it out of no where

Vitaly was literally one of the OG Prank KZfaqrs, crazy how he went from streaking WORLD CUP FINALS to being locked up while on psycoblin/LSD. *Damn.*

i didn't realize the Vitaly rabbit hole was this deep!!! Nice video Sunny!

" Black hooligans " 2:50

" The Genie was out of the bottle an it was'nt going back in "..narration / editing is spot on and very funny..good vid.

"he was once respected and had a good reputation" why though? what is so great about obnoxious dudes messing with perfect strangers? imo pranks are tasteless and quite possibly the worst genre on youtube. the guy deserved no respect initially and now deserves even less

When you resort to pranking strangers by coughing next to them during a time like this, you've hit rock bottom!!

Love that youtube allows impersonation of a law enforcement officer (which i think violates federal law) or at the least is a felony on their platform for everyone to see, no matter how fake it might be its still illegal to do in public

The thing most channels on these videos have in common is that they achieve fame almost overnight, which they aren't prepared for. It inflates their ego, they get a dangerous amount of money and surround themselves with people who don't have their best interest in mind. They eventually realize that the content that brought them fame isn't as sustainable as they expected and start declining in popularity. They try different things, but by then people have already moved on. They get desperate. By doing so, they dig themselves into a hole they can't escape from and as quickly as they gain fame, they just as quickly lose it. It's better to simply fade into obscurity than to live infamy...and then fade into obscurity. Lol

Two things. 1, I don't understand how people didn't get that they were fake videos. 2, Last I saw of him was him not being able to get hard on a BangBus episode. Never heard of him again after that. Makes you really think about the meaning of "go hard or go home".

Vitaly actually started with videos picking up girls, he was a pickup artist. Then afterwards he went into pranking and his channel blew up. The "prank" videos are in the same format as the pickup videos, with the camera man recording from a long distance. A lot of pickup artists actually evolved into doing prank videos.

This channel is great. Addicting and interesting content. Great job!

"I'm gonna break the internet" Well man, I think the internet played an uno reverse card.

I saw him for what he was from day one. He's a despicable human being.

I remember when I was kid me and my cousins used to watch Vitaly and Remi Gaillard all the time. Such a shame that at some point in his career he went on down path. I had no clue he attacked woman but that video of him being arrested is truly sad.

Let's not ignore the fact that the "Disturbing the Peace" series was stolen from KZfaqr Steven Jo (who he knew personally).

He didnt just attack a random jogger, he split a random womans head open and left her on the ground bleeding.

hope that woman that he tackled is doing okay. couldn’t image going through something that like. hoping all the best for her and her mental health

This channel is teaching me about online drama I never knew about

He’s been saying “I’m gonna break the internet” since the first Logan Paul vs KSI fight The problem with the Old School KZfaq Pranksters is that they keep doing the same pranks over and over again and they always try to use girls and untalented/unfunny people in the videos, and knowing that you faked one ruins everything We have NELK now and the bar that they set it’s really high, Fake pranks won’t cut it anymore

For how consistent and high quality your videos are. I have a few questions just to get a general idea of how your workflow is. Do you have a team working on this? If not how many hours do you sink in on a video and how many days a week do you work making these kind of videos?

I've known vitaly back from LA in the early days. The inflection point began when he started partying with the wrong crowd, Bilzerian being one.

Amazing video as always Sunny, not long till you hit 1M subs!

*''Im gonna break the internet!''* Well that aged like fine wine!

Video of Vitaly blacking out while “standing” then regaining his consciousness while screaming “who’s the realest prankster” with full BUG EYES on was fucking hilarious and harrowing at the same time. I hope man gets the help he deserves.

If I've learned anything about this channel it's that holding onto KZfaq glory is extremely hard.

I used to follow vitali and fouseytb and back then youtube wasn't restricted like now, back then youtube was the wild west didn't care about what kind of videos you.

Idk how you put out such quality content out so often but mad props, one of the few youtubers that truly treat this as a job 💯

I genuinely believe the Aussie accent and down to earth persona makes Sunny’s videos so hard to click away

after like my 20th video in 2 days, im subbed! good content here.

I love your content, it's so engaging and once i watch one video i just continue to click on your other videos.

He changed. Vitaly in 2011-2014 was the last time he was a good KZfaqr.

He didn’t broke the internet but he did broke his entire career

I feel bad for Vitaly. Hope for the best for him and hope he finds a meaningful purpose in his life.

I used to manage a restaurant that Vitaly worked at with me. He was rather useless and didn’t last more than maybe 3 weeks but he was friends with the owner. So he was always in there and really annoyed the heck out of everyone

Its sad how respected content creators from a few years ago have the worst fall ever and pretty much fall to hell

holy shit. the way you edited and structured this video just drew me in straight away, so awesome well done

Bruh, vitalys mugshot lookes like ninja😂

I've never even heard of 2/3 of the people you talk about in these videos you but, but I feel like you're doing a major public service here. If I would have just stumbled across any of these "people" on my own I might never have known just how garbage some of them are and potentially be drawn into because of ignorance. Seriously man, you are doing the Lord's work, and I very much appreciate you. Stay safe in this mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world.

he didnt' even make the videos 8 minutes for midroll ads lmao what is he doing??

The internet is a very scary place. Sometimes people don't realize they are doing one thing but to the audeiance it's seen as disrespectful not to mention the pitiful KZfaq "beefs" and podcast interviews. All I know is none of you are right or wrong it's simply all emotion with mental health issues and anger. People have like myself at one time forget what it means to be human.

No idea how I got here, no idea who these guys are but it's the 3rd video of this channel I watch. Genius

I happened to go to the same middle school as Vitaly but a few years after him and apparently, he was really good at piano according to my piano teacher at the time.

You my friend will go FAR. Keep up the grind king.

The quality of SunnyV2's videos will never not amazing me.

I think he started going sideways too when he decided to start getting buff. You can tell he was using a lot of testosterone and when you're not monitored, it can cause a lot of aggression and some mental issues as well. He definitely changed a lot starting then

what most youtubers dont get is that there seems to be a point in every youtubers career in which they MUST change their type of content to a degree in order to stay relevant. for example, imagine if vitaly had changed his course from pranks to gameplay videos as soon as he started faking pranks? he had a large amount of followers already, so branching out to a different area of content would have been much easier, and would have kept him "in shape" for new viewers as well. think about how many large youtube channels had a course change during their "peak" from old type of content to new. for example, pewdiepie changing his content to more of a reaction channel, or Cr1tikal making his face reveal and starting his streams, or jacksfilms stopping his YGS series in favor of YIAY. these are some of the oldest content creators on this platforms and they knew they had to change their type of content in order to stay in shape and relevant. vitaly didnt do it, and so that must have had some kind of influence on his downfall.

Prank KZfaqr: "Its just a prank, bro!" Prank KZfaqr: loses fame and hits rock bottom. Me: Smiles in karma

So addicted to your videos 😩 I didn’t even know KZfaq had this side. Can’t wait to watch more ❤️❤️

lmao it honestly fills me with joy and pride that I never once got into the whole "prank" era

As previously said, never tweet “I’m about to break the internet”

It's sad when someone can't just leave the past in the past. he just cant let the fact that his KZfaq career has died more than the Undertaker go. And for him to have any kind of happiness he needs to accept that and move on with a new goal of some sort that maybe doesn't involve a money grab or sex websites no one asked for, just as examples.

"I Will Break The Internet" _I have literally never heard of this dude before_

I just hope the "Do you even lift Bro" video was authentic. That was the best prank video on KZfaq

Love this documentary type content you make. Keep it up buddy!

I loved Vitaly when he first got big on KZfaq, I was younger and really enjoyed his pranks... then fame and fortune got to his head and he honestly just went mad, it was obvious he faked his pranks and craved attention so much he would do anything. The moment he faked pranks was the last time I ever watched him. He created something so special and original at the time and threw it all away by making just 1 fake prank.

Very heartbreaking, he was low key part of my childhood.

Vitaly looks like Balki from Perfect Strangers with that banana nose lol

you can’t tell me the numbnail looks like Ninja 😂😂😂

Vitaly needs to get into Recovery. He's clearly an Addict.

When you tried to break the internet but you end up breaking your career instead

2:21 "REE---" Sir why did you just whistle in my ears?

Sunny's videos always make work go by faster

Damn…. I think I’m addicted to your channel 😭😭 Seriously I hadn’t heard of this guy for YEARS and yet you make an amazing piece on him I. 2022. Truly amazing Also just realized I went through this video without an ad. You’re a freaking mad lad! Badabing Badaboom

Seeing the old pics of 2011 KZfaq takes me back. The channel used to be so customizable and could look like anything you wanted.

He was right about one thing - his KZfaq T-shirt! 🎉

What song is playing at around 1:10 and why do I recognize it so deeply

I love you work, your Mac Miller video is something that really pulled me in and I didn’t even know of him really. Could you continue the last 48 of other celebrities who passed? You do amazing videos and I’d love to see you expand on that!

Fun fact: About 165,000 cars are produced every day.

I don’t know any of the people you feature (which makes their claim to fame even funnier), but damn, your uploads are addictive! 😃👍

As a person, you have to evolve in life, adjust, step back and reconsider things, reinvent yourself. I think Vitaly wasnt able to do that and thats why you still see him doing the same thing over and over again.

The algorithm got vitally crazy and it does to a lot of people

Respect to Jidion though for being the only prankster who makes pranks actual pranks and not just harassing people in public

Man, I have no idea who almost anyone is that you do a video on. It's absolutely fascinating to see all of the "careers" that have risen and absolutely crashed completely unnoticed.

Lol remember when he was on bang bus and couldn't get "himself to rise to the occasion". I've never liked his content but I always admired the hustle.

bro i am so happy i discovered this channel the content on here is unmatched by anything

the thing with some of these youtubers is that they start as real pranks or being toxic but there comes a point where you should change for the better

Eres una joya Sunny, saludos desde Mérida pelaná

You can tell, from footage before his arrests, that his guy has a serious anger problem.

How are you still not at a mill??!?! You deserve wayyy more and I think time will show

Damn, this video does make it sounds like it's the deepest thing to ever happen

I wouldnt say his true colours were exposed. The dude came into alot of money at a young age, took drugs, did steroids, these had a massive effect on him. I have done both of these things myself and they turn you into someone else. Glad he's sober and seems more grounded now.

its always the same. someone who is upcoming has a necessity to succeed. once the success rolls in they become lazy or have "lack of inspiration".. the ones that keep going are the ones that really love what they do and the rest was in for the money. simple stuff.

I dont care about these people yet the videos are so good and addicting. this channel is becoming one of my favorites
