He really thanked himself, the KZbin OG'S, AND his ancestors all in one speech. PERIODT.

the longest speech i have ever seen that i personally feel it too short. thats how entertain (and iconic) he is, and his presence too. congrats bret 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@whydoweneedousehandlesihateit]

I wish it was longer tbh, his humor is always on top

[@DwaynePionela-o1c]

That felt shorter than it is for us

[@supprncs]

He's so hilarious like no one can be mean like Bretman Rock but still loved by many. An Icon indeed.

[@natelucero9760]

Really?

[@donneone]

Totally agree. He is so truly f- - - - - g hilarious and a total breath of real fresh air!! I love how he says and does anything he thinks of no matter the situation and without regard to appropriateness. So unlike the people I'm surrounded by who prefer to live in fantasy land where people never talk about or hear anything against their small closed minded ideas or how perfect they think they are. Bravo, good job Bretman!

[@aloha_oe311]

He’s honest and mean but deep down he loves deeply. Lol

[@candaceandre6598]

Honestly, out of everyone in the beauty community, I was always rooting for him. He's been nothing but hardworking, humble and honest in a space that was anything but. He saw his internet presence as more than what it could be, showing he's had a visionary mindset since a young age. It's amazing to see someone come from very little & find success by simply being the most authentic & best version of themselves. Congrats to Bretman!!

[@rosylinhortelano6411]

Im almost 60yo , a Filipino grandma, and my grandchildren & I watch his vlogs not because of his beauty products, whatever. I dont know but theres something irresistible in him. I find him funny, honest, true.. I just love to listen to him talk; he makes me smile & laugh. Thank you, Bretman Rock. Congratulations! More blessings…❤

[@nixandnox8231]

OMG! He really mentioned all the OG KZbinrs that I grew up with. They really were making excellent videos back then.

[@rhichey]

I remember KZbin suggested a video of him and his sister. I had no ide who they were, but I was hooked after that. He's so funny and charismatic. I'm glad he won this award. Great speech!

Bretman could be a better stand-up comedian than Jo Koy who always uses Filipino stereotypes in his skits.

[@zims50]

Before any of them, there was Rex Navarrete.

Jokoy is more white lmao. Bretman actually lived in the Philippines and still lives in a very traditional Filipino community in Hawaii.

[@DensDaPens]

@@luxusken05 Joseph was born in Manila and moved when he was 6y/o. Jo's shine doesnt diminish Bret's shine, and vice versa. The more of us that shines the more it reinforces what's possible for us if we just imagine and set our minds to it. Quit legitimizing the stereotype that we are crabs. WAG UTAK TALANGKA!!!!
