'David After Dentist's Family Made $150,000 Off Their Viral Video
Sometimes, drugging children pays off. David Devore—whose laughing gas YouTube video went viral—earned his family $150,000 from his fleeting internet fame. The Business Insider breaks down where the money came from, and how the DeVores spent it.
Young 7-year old David DeVore just came out of dental surgery and was sitting in the backseat of his father's car.
"Is... is this real life?" David asks his father.
The existential question was one of many posed by David in a state of delirium, and his father happened to be recording it all on a Flip camera. Today, the DeVores are asking themselves that same question after raking in close to $150,000 since January 30, 2009 when young David's father—also named David—uploaded the video of his son onto YouTube.
"I'd say about $100,000 of that (is from YouTube)," the elder David DeVore tells us over the phone. "The rest is licensing and merchandise."
While they weren't too creative with the title of the video, "David After Dentist," the DeVores have been innovative in turning their once-in-a-lifetime viral video into a money-machine. Initially, the video was meant to be shared amongst friends and family. At the time, however, YouTube's only alternative to sharing a video with the world was to share it with just 25 people. So, instead of setting "David After Dentist" as "Private," the video went "Public" for everyone to see.
The one seemingly minor decision to make the video available all over the Internet set off a whirlwind of changes for the DeVore family. Within just four days, "David After Dentist" received 3 million views on YouTube and the younger David quickly became an Internet celebrity. His father quit his job in residential real estate (did we mention they live in Florida?), and the family started selling t-shirts featuring cartoon drawings of their son post-dental surgery.
The DeVores, however, say the licensing deals for their video fell right into their laps.
Their largest deal came from a Vizio Super Bowl ad featuring several other Internet celebrities, such as the "Numa Numa Guy." In total, they received around $8,000 and young David DeVore, already used to the on-screen exposure, was seen by millions during the biggest game of the year.
The DeVores revealed to us that they just signed a deal to make medical scrubs for dentists, and they're also looking for deals with other dental products in the future. "We'd love it if Crest or Colgate would sponsor the website," David tells us.
While his family is busy finding ways to monetize off the video's success, the younger David is just trying to live like a normal 9-year old kid. After finishing the 3rd grade on the honor roll, David is on summer break and just attended football camp in Tampa Bay. He is also taking guitar lessons though that doesn't necessarily translate to more on-camera time for the young viral star.
"He's not interested in becoming a TV star, he's just a regular kid," his father tells us. "He's got other things that interest him."
The father speaks very highly of his wife and two sons, and he is extremely grateful for the video's wild success. "We do look at it as a blessing, in a crazy 21st century way," says David. "It's allowed me to have the flexibility and freedom to be with my family."
In addition, the DeVores have donated close to a total of $7,000 to their church, David's school, a local dentist, and Operation Smile—an NGO dedicated to healing facial deformities such as cleft lip.
They're also open to posting videos of aspiring musicians or performers looking for exposure onto their YouTube channel which, according to David, still attracts 100,000 - 125,000 views a day.

FOR THE PERSON WHO HAS EVERYTHING..ONLY $6 + S+H
What better present for the person who has everything than a poignant reminder that they want for nothing? This lovingly crafted vial of emptiness is filled to the brim with unfettered nothingness. Free from the burden of possessions, the weight of responsibility, Nothing is as idiotic as it is brilliant.
Indeed even old Macbeth, though mad as a kipper, realised that life, whilst full of sound and fury (and that was before iPods) is inherently daft and ultimately signifies Nothing. And let us not forget, that 'Nothing' is so important that most of our universe - and the contents of a lot of people's heads - appears to be made up of it.
It's a statement, an empty gesture if you will, a nod at the futility of ownership, and yet despite 'Nothing' being nothing, it is of course packed with millions of protons, neutrons and what have you, which is pretty good for Nothing
Convicted "Noisy Sex" Woman Won't Stop
An English woman who made her neighbors' lives hell by having noisy sex has been spared jail for a second time. Caroline Cartwright admitted breaching an Asbo (anti-social behavior order) for a fourth time while "screaming" during sex with husband Steve, and playing loud music. Appearing at Newcastle Crown Court, the 49-year-old, of Hall Road, Washington, was given a 12-week prison term suspended for a year. She was told she would go to jail if she breached the order again.
The hearing was told how complaints about Mrs Cartwright's "shouting and screaming" during sex and her playing loud dance music had been ongoing for years. Neighbours, a postman and a woman taking her child to school originally complained about the noise to police, and she was given a noise abatement notice. She breached this notice five times and was made the subject of an (Asbo)in April 2005.
In January this year she received an eight-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, for breaching the Asbo three times. But in March her neighbour, Rachel O'Connor, called the police after hearing Mrs Cartwright shouting and screaming. Mrs Cartwright said: "I have tried to minimise the situation by having sex in the morning - not at night - so the noise was not waking anybody."
Recorder Jeremy Freedman told her that her guilty pleas had saved her from jail. He said: "It is clear to this court you have made your neighbours' lives thoroughly miserable and disturbed their sleep so they are tired when they go to work. It is in my judgment that this is thoroughly selfish behavior. If you breach this Asbo you will be going to prison. This court is giving you one last chance."
