MrBro - Episode 2: The Name and The First Video

Backstory Recap:

Ethan Parker, also known as MrBro, is determined to make it big on YouTube, despite the small resources he has. He’s just gotten his hands on a brand-new camera from his dad, but it’s still a long way from the fancy setups he dreams of. Ethan has one goal: to make his first video and get noticed. But first, he has to figure out the name of his channel.

Episode 2: The Name and The First Video

Opening Scene:

Ethan is sitting at his desk, the brand-new camera in front of him, still in its box. He looks at it, then his old, cracked phone sitting beside it. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7, barely working but still good enough to get him started.

Ethan: "Alright, MrBeast got his start somehow, and so can I. But… what’s the name gonna be?"

He scribbles down a list of possible names on a notepad:

EthanPlays

TheBroGamer

EpicEthan

MrViral

MrEpic

MrBro

After thinking for a while, Ethan smiles and decides:

Ethan: "MrBro. Simple. Straight to the point. Let’s do this!"

The First Video Idea:

Ethan sits down, excited to record his first video. He thinks of his favorite YouTubers and what kind of content he enjoys—crazy challenges, funny moments, and viral stunts. But with limited resources, Ethan can’t afford a huge setup or props.

So, he improvises.

Ethan decides to make a “First-Time Challenge” video where he attempts to eat the world’s spiciest pepper (a regular chili from the local market). He’s not sure if it will go viral, but he figures it’s something that could get attention, even if it’s just for the absurdity.

He sets up the camera on his desk, but there’s a problem: The camera angle is all wrong. The lighting is terrible, and the background is messy with his old clothes and school books. He uses the Samsung Galaxy S7 to start recording himself as he prepares the pepper.

Recording the Video:

Ethan presses record on both the camera and his phone to get different angles, but the quality of the footage is far from perfect. The audio from the camera is muffled, and his phone’s camera shakes while recording.

Ethan (on camera): "Yo, what’s up guys? It’s your boy, MrBro! Today, we’re doing something crazy! We’re gonna eat the world’s spiciest pepper—no edits, no cuts, just real reactions! Let’s see if I can survive this… or if I’m gonna regret it BIG TIME!"

He takes a deep breath and eats the pepper. The first few seconds are fine, but then…

Ethan (voice cracking): "O-Oh my god… it’s like fire in my mouth!"

He starts coughing, eyes watering, and his face turns bright red. The whole time, the camera keeps shaking, and the poor lighting makes it hard to see the true chaos unfolding. His phone camera captures an awkward angle of his face as he tries to find water.

Ethan (waving): "I think I made a huge mistake! I should’ve… never… done… this!"

After a few seconds, Ethan collapses dramatically on the floor, still holding the pepper. It’s a messy, unpolished video, but it’s genuine.

Uploading the Video:

Ethan finishes the video, wiping his tears and catching his breath. He watches the footage and knows it’s rough—but it’s done. He’s ready to upload it to YouTube.

He opens YouTube on his old Samsung Galaxy S7 and sets up his channel. He puts the name “MrBro” on his profile, uploads his video, and gives it the title:

“I Ate the World’s Spiciest Pepper (FAIL)”

He quickly writes the description:

"Hey guys! I’m MrBro and today I’m attempting the crazy spicy pepper challenge! It doesn’t go as planned… but hey, at least I tried, right? Leave a like and subscribe for more videos!"

He doesn’t have a thumbnail, so he uses a random screenshot from the video. The tags are simple:

SpicyPepper #Challenge #MrBro

Ethan hits “Publish”, takes a deep breath, and watches the video live. He’s nervous, but excited at the same time.

First Reactions:

The video is far from perfect, but it’s out there. As he refreshes his YouTube dashboard, he notices a few views start to come in. His mom walks into the room, giving him a raised eyebrow.

Laura (Mom): "You uploaded that…? It’s not exactly polished, Ethan."

Ethan: "Yeah, but I did it. It’s out there. People might see it. This is my first step!"

Ending Scene:

Ethan, looking at his small, initial views, feels proud. He knows it’s just the beginning, and that’s enough for now. With his camera, his old phone, and the will to keep going, Ethan knows he can improve and make bigger things happen.

Ethan (on camera, smirking): "This is just the beginning. Who knows where this will go? Let’s get it, MrBro Army!"

Screen fades to black.
