    This video is about the things people say when they spend the night in a hotel room from “can you please turn the fan on” to “we need more towels” to “who is going to go get ice?”

  • YouTube Simulator

    I recently started making funny comedy skits on YouTube. In this video, I act like I’m playing a YouTube simulator game.
