As I drive through rural Maryland, winding my way up the side of a mountain past little bungalows overflowing with porch knicknacks, I come to a driveway posted with signs screaming “Do not enter” and “No trespassers.” These are necessary because, unlike what my surroundings would suggest, I am not approaching the set of Deliverance, but rather the home of celebrities.
Well, sort of. Unless you’re a preteen watching vlogs in your bedroom, you probably haven’t heard of YouTube sensations the Dobre brothers. With over 12 million followers between two channels and an estimated 10 million views a day, the group is kind of a like a back-flipping, prank-pulling, Maryland-resident male version of the Kardashians.
The sons of Romanian Olympic gymnast Aurelia Dobre, the brothers are known for their PG, family-friendly antics: pranking their girlfriends by dumping slime on their heads, doing backflips in the backyard, and dressing up like clowns to scare one another. It’s a little like Jackass-meets-Disney Channel, and by all outward signs, it’s successful.
