David at the dentist
David DeVore Jr. had to get his tooth removed with anesthesia at the dentist almost a decade ago in 2008. His father found his ramblings afterward quite funny and decided to record them, later uploading the video online. The internet community agreed that it was hilarious– in fact, it gained 3 million views within the first three days!
David is now 16 years old, but he’s still riding the wave of success from his viral video. Thanks to the video, his family has earned over $150,000 from views and ad revenue. This has enabled them to afford private school tuition for David and his brother.
