How much MONEY we made from a VIRAL VIDEO (2,000,000+ VIEWS!)

[@kingingit]

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! It feels good to be making videos again in 2021, and we're starting off with a story time about one of the videos that helped us grow Kinging-It to what it is today 💕Also we FORGOT to mention that this was not a one off payment, we have been drip fed it over the years, and we still sell licenses and make money off the video monthly (we should have made that clearer!) If you guys haven't already, head over to our facebook community to join in with the chat: facebook.com/groups/kingingit YOU'RE ALL LEGENDS! RULE YOUR OWN WORLD!

[@therealdrbyte]

Hey, I'm from Queenstown.. just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your wonderful videos over the last year. You guys are star quality. Thanks for the great entertainment. I am currently stuck in Switzerland as my ski trip went a bit wrong last year due to "the thing" stranded_in_switzerland on Instagram

[@keithprescott007]

Love watching your video's 😉 trying to persuade my girlfriend to buy a van to tour our beautiful country hopefully she will agree soon 😂😂😂😂

[@sophiemarcaurele]

Nah, it's not the video that "made you". It's just who you are. Two lovely, quirky, genuine, hilarious, witty, gorge humans.

[@CherylRushton]

Absolutely true! Best comment ever!❤🤣

[@kingingit]

Aw you guys 😭❤️❤️

[@lifewithlee7074]

Hahah I love how this video came to be and that the fish throw was full of temporary anger 😂😂 so epic! You two are the best!!

Hi, Lee ❤

[@ahagan1930]

The fact that you planned it makes it even more epic! You two are truly legends!

[@myhificloud]

Contact ALL of your previous sponsors and ask them to sponsor portions a full length video mashup of previous sponsor clips. Those verts are brilliant, creative, hilarious and the only advertisements I watch and enjoy on KZbin. Here's to another $40k, Kinging-It!!

[@JoeK7]

Stoked for the pair of you! The slightly sad part is that ALL of your content is amazing and deserve to be making serious £££ for it! You deserve all the success! 🙌🏻

[@richm5964]

Can’t say how many times I’ve seen that video and had NO clue it was y’all until recently.

[@kingingit]

haha it really did get around! Even to this day we're still getting tagged in it 😂

[@jffpviana]

SAME

[@rrichardson53]

Same !!!

[@CanadianFarmGirl1]

Same!! I started watching after seeing you guys at Eamon and Becs. Then I saw the fish video on Facebook and come to find out it was you guys!!! Tooo funny

[@The101Rurple]

LOVE the fish video and you guys recounting the story "He LAUNCHED IT AT ME!" LOL

[@kingingit]

haha it bloody hurt Jess 😂😂

[@The101Rurple]

@@kingingit A few seconds discomfort for an awesome viral boost though! 😂😂

[@petesaxty9140]

“proper knobhead..” 😂

[@kaydeekreitlow424]

That's amazing you even had the idea for that video, awesome

[@marcelo604]

Ys, the video idea and the video itself was great but do not compare to the talent you guys have. I love your videos, your good humor, and especially the storytelling. If that video has never happened I am sure you guys would find other ways to shine as you do. Congrats, from a fan in Brazil!

[@hannahstanden1395]

I just dont get why you dont have more subscribers you guys are class!!!

[@jobethk588]

Love that Chris's dad came up with the epic caption. Well done.

[@santosgonzalez1524]

HILARIOUS!!! For the LONGEST I thought it was real. You guys are awesome!! 👋🤙✌

[@stephenode4316]

Just discovered you guys .Your hilarious we love you.Unfortunately now you cant ever retire we need to be entertained. Seriously though all the best to both🤪 of you

[@BruceLauderdale]

£30k is not really the video remuneration... it’s everything you have ever earned since. You are fun, you’re just lovely people! Well, I love you anyway, but I’m warped!

[@Vanwives]

You two make us smile so much 🌞

[@kingingit]

Aw you guys 😭❤️

[@BusOffwithJosie]

Ahahah this is just THE BEST story ! Ahaha !! Hadnt seen that video till just now! Bloody classic !!! 💗💗💗 love to you guys x

[@meganzeishner9324]

You guys are just the best!!! Well done 👍🏻

[@graemeowen9109]

Fantastic, deserved every penny. Your vlogs are the best on KZbin. Cant wait for all your trips this year😃

[@kingingit]

Thanks so much Graeme! Can't wait for the world to actually open up again 😭

[@elizabethpankewycz6160]

You two really are fun on the run! Loved the back story- thanks for making it into a vlog- need your smiles and laughter more than ever!

[@kingingit]

Thanks so much Elizabeth!!

[@CheapHolidayExpert]

I bloody love the story behind this - AMAZING 🤣🤣🤣

[@mford9029]

I’ve been watching you guys for years but until now never knew you are the fish girl

[@tracym2164]

While that viral video may have catapulted you into the spotlight, it is your quality, action-packed, entertaining and often hilarious content that has sustained you. Bravo! Can't wait for your next big adventure! Cheers from Cheeky Tracy in Canada.

[@DeborahLong7777]

How awesome is this! I hope I get to see the video! Much love from Texas ❤️

[@linnea9017]

Epic guys! I remember seeing it on facebook. Had'nt connected it. Not suprised. Not one single bit. Nope! Epic fun. :D

[@KarinLynnBates]

You two are wonderful! I found you some time later on KZbin in January 2017 (happy anniversary, us!), but I’m sure the viral video helped the algorithms to connect me with your videos! I’m so glad they did. It’s been a wild and fun four years for me watching your videos. Happy 5th anniversary of the viral video! 🌊🐟🤗😘

[@AfterTheRains]

I knew it was you two but wow, I never guessed it was staged. Well done for being your own success story. Being such a short vide would have been ideal for the news programs. Keep brain storming and I hope you can come up with another.

[@kimkennedy123]

Good for you 2! I just discovered our channel. Nice!

[@kellybob5657]

Love you guys. Wishing you all the success with your channel and future travels x

[@carriem8903]

I never saw that video in the day. I found you from the Skillympics. My favorite game show of all time. I have since become a huge fan and gone through your most of your video catalog. Great job!

[@thomascrown3816]

New subscriber - you’re such lovely people😃

[@robynoakes-bain2411]

Love your glasses you're wearing in this video!

[@robertaharns7828]

You two are just fabulous funny and so real…except the fish in the face was a dizzy really well done! So glad that I found Eamon & Becca. Cheers to you too….hope the whiskey was there‼️ Roberta…Berta & Me🙋‍♀️Love to you both and prqyers🙏🙏 to Bec & Emon ❣️

[@lquinn16]

I’m absolutely pissing myself bc I just got into your channel after seeing your eamon and bec collar and I have seen this video so many times but had no idea it was you.

[@yverose8355]

It still cones up as suggested on my feed today!!

[@kingingit]

haha no way! 😂

[@LM-fi2kv]

I had no idea that was you until I saw it on your KZbin channel. For the past couple of years I show that video to my middle school students at the beginning of our weather unit. They love it. Lol

[@applefalltree]

Loved hearing this backstory. 🐟😂 Funnily, I came to your channel organically and I'd been watching you for a while before I ever saw this viral clip. You really deserve the success that's come from it. 🌟

[@daftdogjw]

Good for you! You make great content and are just a joy to watch..... keep at it and we will all keep tuning in....... :-)

[@harryscat]

love it !!!

[@tinrobot4479]

Been watching/subscribed to this channel around the time you got custard but not been that regular tbh. However, today I watched this vid and the story one. Didn't realise you were the ones behind this video or that you had made so much content in the past. You seem such nice people and I wish you the very best for future adventures. In the meantime I have a great deal of catching up to do !

[@latebloomerabroad]

I had never seen that video, it's hilarious! That's a great story, I'm so glad it worked for you. I really enjoy watching all your adventures.

[@IridescentJen]

just brilliant - thanks for the laughs and so glad it enabled you to do what you do best: bringing smiles and laughter and a bright light wherever you go

[@GiMom19]

You guys are THE BEST!!!!! 💋

[@kristapavel364]

So great!

[@mishkez6355]

Absolutely bloody hilarious. 😂😂 Thanks guys... needed that on another rainy day in January!

[@gtj47]

It was after seeing the fish video I started following you, it was so funny - back watched all your videos after that and have followed your adventures ever since......I think my favourite has been the Mongol rally...........well done on your fame and fortune !! keep it up lads xx

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

We just adore you two! We found your channel first then the viral fish video! I remember watching the first time “OMG THAT POOR AMIEE”, not only did you get hit in the face by a flying fish, but it looked as if you fell pretty hard! Keep up the amazing work you two are so professional and funny as can be! Lots of love ~Cara ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@vangeezerexperience]

Some things are just so good in itself, it doesn't matter if they are for real or not. That video surely are one of those things. It's PERFECT even in slow motion, just because of that lack of "going like that" :)

[@kingingit]

haha thanks mate! We hoped it would bring a smile to a few faces, we never even meant for the 'is it real is it fake' debate!!

[@valprosick8875]

Brilliant The perfect duel ❤️🇨🇦❤️
