- Guys, I'm just gonna say
it, being inside all the time, and not being able to see
any of my friends and family is kind of boring. I know, probably not
smart to start the video with such a controversial opinion, but I just had to get that out there. Now while this whole COVID-19 thing has been really rough
for a lot of reasons, I feel like one of the main issue is that I'm finding myself having, is that being sequestered in my own home is making it really hard to take some bomb Instagram pictures. You guys know I'm an
influencer, all right. There's nothing I love
more than going outside, finding a cool location, taking a couple of sweet
IG pics for the 'Gram. And I'm not talking about my grandma. But looking around,
there's not really much to take pictures with, in my house. It's just a bunch of blank
walls, and chairs, and tables. Ain't nobody wanna see that. But luckily, a few weeks ago,
Troom Troom posted a video called "19 Easy Ways to Make
Your Instagram Photos Viral," and pretty much all of these crafts, and hacks you can do, from
the comfort of your own home. So I figured, what better
way to use my time, while I'm stuck inside, then
to go viral on Instagram? And as I'm sure you guys know, if you've seen any of my
other Troom Troom videos, these are all definitely going to work, and not be a gigantic waste of time. I'm gonna try these little
Instagram viral crafts. I'm gonna post them on Instagram, and I'm gonna see if they really
make my pictures go viral, or at the very least,
what my followers think about me posting all of
this ridiculous stuff. Feel free to follow along
at home, if you want to, you know, if you're bored, and you wanna go viral on Instagram too? There's enough clout to go around. So grab your scissors, grab
some construction paper, grab a, grab a frickin' plant. We're gonna need one of these. And let's just get down to business. Let's start monkeying around
with some Instagram hacks. (playful music) - [Girl] Tragedy, crisis, catastrophe. My boyfriend dumped me, how could he? I need to tear up everything
that reminds me of him, and make him jealous. - Okay, so all Troom Troom crafts have to have kind of like
a little story around them. So in this one, we start off
in the worst of circumstances. This girl is heartbroken over an ex lover. She's tearing up pictures of him, and she's trying to figure
out a way to make him jealous. - [Girl] I'll make it
look like my new boyfriend gave me a gorgeous bouquet of roses. I'll put my hands together, like I'm holding a huge expensive bouquet. Take a picture, and then put
on a sticker of a bouquet. Wow, it looks so real, great work. (bell dinging) (hands clapping) - That's the whole craft? Is that really, is that it? - [Girl] It looks so real. - Oh yeah, it looks so real. You know, how you hold
a bouquet of flowers, like a baby, like a big baby, and it doesn't cast any
shadows on your arms. - [Girl] I can practically
smell the roses. - That girl looks like
she really does think she should be able to smell the roses. She's kinda going like,
what the, why can't I, am I trippin' here, should I be able to smell
the roses in this phone? Okay, so I don't know exactly how this is gonna make me
go viral on Instagram, by posting some kind of weird,
vengeful relationship brag? But this one's pretty easy,
it won't take too long, and it doesn't really require
anything, except for a phone. All right, well, let's go try it. Fu, ow, shit. Okay, We've got everything
set up for our picture, and we're ready to get started. I've got my phone on a
nice little tripod here. I don't really have an ex lover that I need to make
jealous for any reason. So instead I was like, "Well,
who can I try to make jealous? Like who can I try to
piss off in this picture, to really stick it to him, to
get my picture to go viral?" And the answer I came up
with is my haters, dude, my YouTube haters. If I could them off, that'd be a success. (bells chiming) I don't know what just happened. If I could piss off my haters, that would be a successful picture, okay. And what would piss my haters off more than me being crowned King of YouTube? So that's what this
picture's gonna be all about. I'm gonna be standing, I'm
gonna have a little crown, maybe a little cane. Maybe I'll be skateboarding, 'cause maybe that would
them off too, I don't know. All right, I'm gonna pretend
to be doing a kick flip. I gotta be holding a cane, maybe, and maybe tipping my crown. (dramatic music) - [Mario] Wah, ho ho, yahoo. - Ah, okay, oh yeah, okay. That actually turned out
pretty well, look at that. Oh man, I got some height on that too. God damn, I'm slick. Now it's time to go in
and edit the picture. The first thing we want
is probably a crown. Crown, all right. So I'm gonna put it like, oop, oh shit. Okay, I did not wanna do that. Okay, I need to figure
out the right scale here, to get it looking like it could fit right on top of my head, but then I wanna put it in my hand here. Rotate it, to make it look
like I'm tipping my crown to all my haters. Okay, next I need a
little cane, or something, to be holding. Ooh, this looks like a nice fancy cane. Oh yeah, look at that. It's got like, it's gold, it's got like diamonds and
shit on it, it looks like. Oh man, and the icing on
top, a fricking skateboard. Skateboard? Or a long board? Skateboard. What if my trick was so cool that my skateboard somehow
ended up upside down? I guess that could be like
me doing a kickflip right? Is that what kickflips are? I just search king, what comes up? Lions, hmm, maybe I could just kinda put, put a lion in the foreground. Yeah, that's kinda sick. Like the King of YouTube
would probably have some like sick pets, or whatever, even though not exactly ethical, if you've watched "Tiger King." Oh yeah, I'm on some king shit, now son. Tipping my crown, holding my cane, kickflipping my skateboard
next to my throne, and my pet lion. The haters are gonna
have a fricking field day when they see this shit. All right, next craft. - [Girl] If you're a big
fan of Billie Eilish, and you want a photo just like hers, then nature will help you. This fern fell into the perfect hands. It really does look like her hair. - No it does not (laughing). That does not look like hair. That's a leaf, leaf don't look like hair. You can quote me on that. - [Girl] Put the fern leaf on your head. It looks just like her dyed green roots. Also glue some leaves to your nails, Now your cosplay is ready. - So, how is this gonna make you go viral? Like, are you trying to
trick people into thinking that you're Billie Eilish? They think that by putting
a leaf on your head, people will think, "Oh
shit, that's Billie Eilish. I gotta like this picture. It's weird that she's posting
it on a different account, and this looks just like my
friend with a leaf on her head. But I'll be damned if I let
a picture of Billie Eilish pass me by without liking it." Well, anyway, I've got this plant, so I guess I'm just
gonna put it on my head, and see if I look like Billie Eilish. Now I apologize, this isn't a fern leaf. I'm pretty sure this is just some kind of tropical plant leaf. It was hard to find a
fern on short notice. I also apologize to the
plant, for hurting you. And I feel like I'm gonna need more than just this one leaf. (happy music) Oh, okay, yeah I kinda see it now. I think I really do look
like Billie, this is great. - [Girl] Also glue some
leaves to your nails. - And stick leaves to your nails. I'm not gonna glue 'em,
'cause that would be insane, to glue leaves to my
nails, are you kidding me? Are you psycho? I'm just gonna tape 'em to my nails. To try to make this picture
have maximum viral potential, I'm gonna say in this photo
that I met Billy Eilish. So I'm gonna actually Photoshop myself, next to me as Billie Eilish, so people will think, and
they really will think this, that I met Billy Eilish,
and I hung out with her, and her cool green hair, and
her cool green fingernails. And the leaves are kind of falling apart, as I tape these to my hands. But that's to be expected. (leaves crunching) All right, please leave
in the comments below, on a scale from one to 10, how much you think I look
like Billie Eilish right now. (rock music) I'm gonna scoot that out of the way, and I'm gonna get myself a
(slide whistle blowing) fuck. Okay, so this is gonna be the tricky part, is getting all the leaves
to stay on my head. Okay, so first I'm gonna
take the picture as Billie, all pouty like this,
like the picture said to. (sad music) All right, and let's take a look at that. Wow, that's really creepy. That's actually, eh, that's scary. As far as getting close
to the example here, I think I'm pretty damn close. I mean, I gotta take a picture as me, and I still have leaves on my head, so I gotta take those off,
and I'm gonna sit right here, and I'm gonna go like this. (playful music) Okay, let me just make sure I don't still have leaves in my hair. Nope, it looks good. So now I just gotta cut Billie out. All right, and there you
go, there, you have it. I cut out Billie, it looks
like I'm right next to her. In terms of making it look
like I'm in the same picture, as the other person, I think
I did a pretty good job. In terms of everything
else, I think it's bad. I think I did a really bad job, and this is not a good picture. (dramatic music) - [Girl] Were you drawing a car, but you accidentally rubbed
a hole in the windshield? - That's a very specific thing to ask. And the answer is no,
I was not doing that. That's never happened to me. - [Girl] Oops, although that might make an excellent picture frame. Cut the windshield out
of a drawing of a car, and put your friends' faces inside. Let's go, this road trip will be awesome. - No, I don't think it will be. (laughing) They could not look less
interested in this road trip. This road trip's gonna be awesome. (car motors whirring) I wanna go home. Again, I'm not really sure how this is gonna make me go viral. A picture of people in the car, a very poorly drawn car, at that? But I do like the premise, because it makes it look like I'm getting outside of the house. You know, everybody else is in quarantine, posting pictures of them sitting at home, and I've got a way, perfectly good way, nothing wrong with this way, to make it look like I'm out and about, driving around in a car. So I think this one's perfectly
valid for the situation. So I just have to print
out a picture of a car, and then we can get started. (dramatic music) A picture of a car. Yeah, it's a BMW, I guess you could say, "I like to drive pretty fast." So I believe the only thing I have to do is just cut out the windshield, and then just put this
in front of the camera, and sit there, easy enough. Oh yeah. Now, hopefully this doesn't look too real, 'cause I don't want
people coming for my head, being like, "You didn't
obey the quarantine. You didn't stay inside. You went out in your
BMW, sick car by the way, but you shouldn't be doing that." (dramatic music) All right, we're ready to roll baby. We're ready to rock and roll. Man, everyone's gonna think
I have such a cool car. I drive a Prius, but
don't tell anyone, okay. Can this just be the picture? Took my eyeballs for a drive yesterday, just to get out of the house. This is the Disney
live-action "Cars" reboot, where it's real ass cars,
with real ass eyes. (laughing) That's the slogan for the movie. Cars, real ass cars, real ass eyes. Well, let's make it happen. And so, off I went, spending 20 minutes setting up a picture, that I
could easily Photoshop in five, and it would probably look better too. All right, as you can see, I've got this whole thing set up. It took me quite a bit to finagle this. I taped two markers together, and then taped the
markers to a light stand. And then I taped my little picture frame to that whole contraption. And this will be my
driver's seat in the car. Now I'm trying to think how I
should look in this picture, because the dudes in the actual video look so disappointed to be on a road trip. But I feel like I should kinda
look a little bit bad ass, 'cause I'm whipping this hot ass car here. I feel like I should be
looking like a cool dude. So I'm gonna try and make it
like a couple of cool faces. Like I'm really, like I'm
driving this car around, so we'll see how it goes. (clock ticking) Okay, so not exactly perfect. (car engine roaring) I tried to make a little bit
of a cooler face that time too. Oh shit, dude. Hell, I think that's it. That actually turned out pretty good. If I didn't know any better,
I believe that I was really, really driving a BMW there, look at me, and my nice cushy leather
seat in the driver's seat. Yeah, I got that upgrade, that gives you a big leather
arm chair in your car, instead of a regular car seat. I did have to sacrifice though. I had to sacrifice being able
to have a back windshield. They just replaced that with a wall so. Next craft, it's time for the next craft. - [Girl] Do you want to go to the ocean, but you are stuck at home? - As a matter of fact, Troom Troom, I do wanna go to the ocean,
and I am stuck at home. (laughing) How the fuck did you know that? But more importantly,
what can you do about it? - [Girl] You can still
upload a cool oceanic photo. Print out someone else's underwater pic, put a picture of the sky on your screen. Sit in front of it and set up the photo, so that the bodies line up. - Ah, very clever. So now that we've gone for a drive, perhaps we can trick people into thinking that I drove to the ocean,
to take a little dip, a little mid-quarantine dip. - [Girl] Now it looks
like you are really there. - Well, no, it doesn't really look like she's actually there, and
there's lots of reasons. But I would say the main one is that the bottom half of her
body is wearing a swimsuit, and the top half of her body
is wearing a regular shirt. She's just wearing a tank top. But other than that, like this doesn't look super unrealistic. I'm curious to see how
we can make this work. This could actually, this
could actually turn out. First, we gotta find a picture of somebody else halfway under water. I'm just gonna Google
man halfway in water. Okay, that's probably not gonna work. Oh, maybe this one. If we just cut like right here, and then above it is the
sky, and then below it, I have a beard for some reason, even though I've never been able to grow a beard in my entire life. It is really close up, too. Oh, he's also in a pool, so that ruins the whole
gonna the ocean vibe. Okay, this man is halfway in the water, but the wrong half. How could I say this right,
man above and below water. Okay, this one kinda works, but it's really grainy and
has watermarks all over it. Okay, this is a picture of a jellyfish. That is not at all what I wanted. Okay, okay, here's a good one. This one looks pretty decent actually. The only issue is that there's
watermarks all over it, but you know what, I'm in the water, so there's bound to be some
watermarks, am I right? Well maybe we can just Photoshop 'em out. So let's print out this picture,
and then get to work baby. (happy music) All right, we've secured the picture. So I'm just gonna cut
along the water line here, and then I can just smack
my sweet little face right behind it, and we'll be golden. Do you ever record a video
of yourself doing something, and you look at it later, and you realize you were making a face that you
had no idea you were making? Why am I making that face? Why do I look so disgusted? Okay, lookin' good. So now we got this, a nd then we're just gonna have
to line up my face, like so. Okay, and the part that's above water, it's just above his nose, so oh yeah. Okay, does that, I can't really tell if
that lines up at all. And also, the picture
is very out of focus, and my face is very in focus. But let's just slap a nice
sky background behind me, and we'll see how it looks. All right, look at this set
up, look what I got here. I got my little janky picture
set up, with my markers. I got a nice sky time-lapse, that I found on YouTube, it's
just like a beach time-lapse. It's looking good, and actually the image looks like it might turn out okay. I just gotta make sure that
I'm just above the water, like this, and that should be good. All right, let's give it a shot. (happy music) Okay, and (laughing). Uh, huh, I think I need
to be a little bit lower. Okay, my lip was kind of in it. (playful springing) Let's see that, okay my
(laughing) my lip was in it again. I can't, I think it's
hard for you to tell, but I can't really see where my face is, because this thing is blocking my vision of that part of the screen. I'll do it again. This time I'll go even lower. (happy music) And (laughing) are you fucking? What, I was higher that time, how? All right, come on, come on. Okay, this one's this one's pretty good. Let's give this a crop. Oh dang, look at that. That looks like a boy at the beach. That looks like a boy who's
having a fun time in the water. All right, I'm pretty
pleased with that one. So, next craft. This next craft is for all of
you photographers out there, who can't really afford
a nice expensive camera. This one's a little hack for you, to still get that perfect shot. - [Girl] You don't have your
phone or camera with you, but your heart wants a selfie? Use your head, and a scanner. Put your face down, and scan it. - Yeah, so that's the hack, is that if you don't have
a camera, or your phone, but you still need a selfie, you're like, "I look too.
God damn good right now, to not take a picture of myself," just find the nearest scanner. There's bound to be one
nearby, there always is. And when's the last time you were more than 10
feet away from a scanner? Never, that's right. So find it, and then just
shove your face in it. - [Girl] The photo
looks a little wrinkled, but that only makes it more special. - And now you've got a perfectly
good picture of yourself. I mean, look at this, (laughing) and who wouldn't wanna post
this on their Instagram? Just a regular, normal selfie, that you can take without an
expensive phone or camera. Okay, let's stick my face in a scanner. Okay, I got my scanner. I'm ready to stick my face in it. Let me make sure I'm not
supposed to do anything special in particular, when I do this. I'm pretty sure I just stick my face in, but let's make sure. - [Girl] Put your face down, and scan it. But be careful,
- What? - [Girl] The photo
looks a little wrinkled. - Be careful? What am I
supposed to be careful about? What, she just says be careful, and doesn't explain anything. Am I supposed to know? Is this gonna do something to me? Like, is the light gonna blind me? Is the glass gonna shatter in my face? I don't understand what
could possibly go wrong here. But, there's only one way to find out, it's by scanning my fuckin' face. All right, well, here I go. Should I smile? I guess it's like taking a selfie, you just smile, and
you look at the camera, and you try to look handsome. (gentle music) (scanner buzzing) Okay, it's buzzing. (rock music) That was really uncomfortable. All right, let's see
how it turned out here. There it is, oh. Oh geez, oh no. Oh God, that looks, I
mean, that's horrendous. (laughing) Oh man. Uh, well chief, I mean, that's definitely not what I
thought that would look like. God, that's scary. I mean, I thought there's looked bad, but mine looks about a
thousand times worse. Do I just have like a really
bad scanner or something? Or why does this look so terrifying? But I guess I have to post it, right? 'Cause I said I was going to. I'm kinda worried about
scarring my followers. But you know what, anything
for the 'Gram, baby. Okay, so now the only thing left to do is to post these pictures. I've got to come up
with the correct order, and then a good caption for all these. After thinking about it for a while, here's the order that I'm thinking. I gotta start off in the car, you know, that's how you get anywhere. Then maybe we head to the beach. You'll notice I removed the watermarks. I thought they were a little distracting, so I went in and Photoshopped those out. I went to the beach, maybe I'll take a couple of
nice selfies at the beach. Then I happened to meet Billy Eilish, just hanging out at a
restaurant or something. I'm realizing, just now, that there's a little pieces
of leaves all over the table. Hopefully no one notices that. Or maybe they just think it's some of Billy's hair falling out. And last but not least, I
was knighted King of YouTube. Okay, here's the caption I came up with. "I've been having the best week, taking long road trips to the beach, practicing taking very normal selfies, meeting Billie Eilish, and being crowned King of YouTube, all while learning to skateboard. The best week of my life, probably." And then I guess we can just post it. (mysterious music) All right, post. And we'll see what people
have to say about it. First comment, "Nice pics." Well, Danny, job well
done, buddy, "Nice pics." "Wow, green screen." Huh? Green screen? Does she? She thinks that these aren't real? Green screen could maybe
explain the first two, like me being in the
car, and at the beach. But what about this one? How can you explain this
perfectly normal selfie? Not with green screen, that's for sure. I liked that you can see my
little breath on the glass. "Damn, Billie Eilish has been
looking better these days." Has this picture gone viral yet? 3,800 likes? That's not viral. I guess I posted it two minutes ago. How long does it take to go viral? When do you know if you're viral? How long did you spend on this? (depressing music) Too long. In summary, thanks to Troom
Troom's Instagram viral hacks, my pictures ended up getting less likes than three out of the last
four Instagram pictures that I posted, thanks Troom Troom. All right, gang, well there you go. That's how it's done. A couple of Troom Troom
Instagram crafts in the bag. I hope you guys enjoyed this, but now it's time to talk
