After almost eight months of planning and preparing, the time is almost near. Our YOMYOMF Network on YouTube officially launches next week, specifically on June 12 with the premiere of Internet Icon starring our partners/YouTube stars Ryan Higa and Chester See. Keep reading because we’ll post the latest info on all our new shows right here, but tonight we are kicking things off with a little promo video we produced to let everyone know what we’ll be about. So without further ado—It Has Begun: Bananapocalypse…

As Chester says in the video, this is just the beginning. So if you like what you see, definitely subscribe to our channel (by clicking here) because this is just the start. As the showmen of yesteryear used to say, “You haven’t seen nothin’ yet.”

Finally, a lot of very talented people contributed their time and talent to make this video a reality. We want to acknowledge their hard work on this project because there is no way we would’ve been able to do this on our own. So you’ll see those names below and if we’ve forgotten anyone, it was not intentional so just shoot us a note and we’ll make sure to add you.

Thanks to all our readers for your support. We hope to continue to bring you many years of interesting content both here and on our YouTube channel.
