The following article mentions suicide.
To quote Team Rocket of Pokemon fame, “Prepare for trouble, and make it double!”
Lucas Dobre-Mofid and Marcus Dobre-Mofid, known as the Dobre Twins, sure have made a name for themselves.
Although that platform might have died, the Dobre Twins' fan base sure hasn’t.
Read on for the lowdown on their whirlwind of a life.
“When you and your best friend’s jam comes on in public,” the caption reads.
A few amused patrons look on in the background, enjoying the show.
Another video, initially shared onVine, depicts the guys in the frozen food section.
The twins start by tumbling around on the floor.
Immediately afterward, they continue dancing, massive smiles on their faces.
Once again, the other shoppers stop and watch in amazement.
The twins reference their humble origins in their song “You Know You Lit.”
That’s prime real estate for practicing flips, test driving new sports cars, and setting off explosions.
AsWashingtonianmagazine noted in a 2018 profile, the brothers' tastes are on the playful side.
In January 2022, a YouTube video titled “MY TWIN BROTHER IS DEAD?!”
In the video, Lucas Dobre-Mofid finds a fake suicide note written by Marcus Dobre-Mofid.
“I just wanna say I love you guys.
I just want to write you this letter before I go.
I will see you in the sky.”
Lucas goes into his backyard and finds a tombstone.
Then Marcus appears on camera to address the audience: “I’m not dead.
I just wanted to prank my family.
I’m so sorry, guys.”
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.
But the City of Angels just didn’t feel like a fit for them.
Eventually, they flew back home to Maryland.
“We missed our family and we wanted to be closer to them,” Marcus Dobre-Mofid said.
“Basically, Lucas and I were homesick.”
“There have been some rumors going around,” Lucas Dobre-Mofid acknowledged.
That’s completely false.
… Marcus and I are not angry at anyone or have any hard feelings towards anyone.
That’s not the pop in of people we are.
We just wanted to do what was best for Lucas and I career-wise.
We decided to come home, and that was the best decision emotionally, creatively, and mentally."
Lucas met Lomeli in 2017 how else?
during a YouTube challenge.
In a video titled “CRAZY DARES IN GROCERY STORE!
“, Lucas accepted a dare from one of his fans to kiss a stranger.
The girl he approached was Lomeli.
After the magical moment, Lucas walked away beaming.
“I think she was into me, bro,” he told Marcus Dobre-Mofid.
Just months later, the unthinkable happened.
He encouraged Lucas to kiss her again and he did.
She said yes again in April 2023, when Lucas proposed to her in a sweetvideo.
“I love you so much,” she commented.
“The room goes silent,” she wrote.
“They have to count.
The number they ultimately came up with was 2.7 million dollars quite the pretty penny.
The boys also recorded an alternate video for a remix of the song featuring SoundCloud rapper Lil Pump.
That version of the song has racked up an additional 24 million views.
In 2019, the Dobre Brothers reached a major milestone as musicians: their first international tour.
According to Herald-Mail Media,it featured a whopping 21 shows across the globe.
It’s no wonder that they’re so passionate about preventing bullying.
“Be the hero, not the bully/Cut the drama,” they sing in the chorus.
“Be the solution, not the problem.”
The video shows them dancing in coordinating blue tracksuits, joined by their mom’s adorable pet goat.
They can talk, they can hate/But you stay bulletproof.”
“Our Little Sister Gets Arrested…”, “SNEAKING OUR LITTLE SISTER OUT OF SCHOOL!
(BAD IDEA),” and “Our Little Sister Got ATTACKED by an OPPOSSUM!”
are just a few of the silly YouTube sketches she stars in.
“I’m not really their sister,” she said.
“It’s just pretend.”
Now, she’s like a member of the family to them.
Every now and then, everyone’s favorite twins show up as guest stars.
Yet it’s not all fun and games behind the scenes.
He claimed that they have never missed a scheduled upload: “Some people take breaks.
We don’t take breaks.”
We built it from the ground up, from zero.
That’s what people need to realize …
It’s not always easy.
Running a YouTube Channel requires a great deal of coordination, the boys explained.
Yet all four brothers told Herald-Mail Media that they couldn’t imagine themselves doing anything else.
“We want to set trends.
We want to be the future,” Cyrus affirmed.
