There's just so many creative videos that make me smile. In 2010, I thought to myself, "Hey, I'm pretty funny! I should make videos and see if people like them." I then started making comedy videos and somehow I gained an audience. I started interacting with my viewers and I gathered all the feedback to try and improve my videos.&nbsp;<STRONG>Other people</STRONG>&nbsp;inspire me. When people tell me my video made their day, or that it made them laugh, it inspires me to make more videos. I may not be that popular on YouTube, but nothing will stop me from trying to grow my audience.</FONT></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG><FONT color="#000000">Do you have any personal favorites?</FONT></STRONG></P> <P><STRONG><FONT color="#000000">&nbsp;</FONT></STRONG></P> <P><FONT color="#000000">All of them? <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">πŸ˜‰</span></FONT></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <DIV> <P><STRONG><FONT face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000">Will there ever be a follow up to the smash hit music video 'Noodles'?</FONT></STRONG></P> <P><STRONG><FONT face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000">&nbsp;</FONT></STRONG></P> </DIV> <P><FONT color="#000000"><FONT face="arial, sans-serif">I have no idea.
