―Brightclips's intro | ||
Christian "Chris" (born: May 13, 2005)[1][2], better known online as Brightclips or simply Bright, is an American YouTuber known for posting videos in which he trolls others using Discord, a messaging platform.
Content[]
Brightclips was originally well known for posting videos of trolling/catfishing Jonathan Galindo impersonators on Discord, grabbing their IP address at the end. He would also troll Omegle users, often by telling them where they live, of which the most viewed video, HACKING INTO GIRLS PHONES ON OMEGLE!!!, gained over one million views.[3]
He is also known for trolling and/or catfishing various angry individuals, including Jay, a 14 year old boy who claims to be 22 years old, and not racist with his "18+ gang". His videos slowly started to gain views after YouTube took down some of his Jonathan Galindo videos for "promoting self-harm". He subsequently took down the rest to start a new season of trolling videos. Jonathan Galindo has continued to make occasional appearances, however.
He later began trolling MrBeast scammers in some videos, to continued success. He would later begin to troll scammers of well known internet personalities and celebrities, such as Dhar Mann, Lil Nas X and even himself.[4][5][6] The most viewed video, TROLLING A MRBEAST SCAMMER ON DISCORD! (Got His IP), has over 2 million views.[7] It is widely known that he fakes his content as it doesn't look like a real discord conversation.

Roberto[]
Roberto (voiced by IVONA Miguel) is a bisexual, middle-aged Afghan man not allowed around children. He was born to a tech support scammer father and an actual dishwasher mother. Due to her laziness, Roberto's Father kicked his wife out, attempting to move with Roberto to the United States via the U.S. Embassy, but they were kicked out due to apparently being suspected terrorists. A man drove up to them, kicking them to the border in his car, and they escaped to nearby India, where he happily lived for many years until, due to not getting a job and wanting to travel the world, he was kicked out by his mother.
He cried for a few hours, grew an emo haircut and cried like a "12-year-old white girl". Hating his father, he decided to become a goth, getting a tattoo, getting his hair dyed, travelling to California and becoming a Democrat, before instead deciding to get a job. He ended up being hired as a tech support scammer but was quickly fired due to his unwillingness to scam.
He decided to attempt moving to the United States again, boarding a flight on which a woman, suspecting he is a terrorist, decided to commit suicide by jumping out of the plane. After arriving outside of California, he was taken to a room by police officers, yet again as a suspected terrorist, before being let go.
He looked for a job but was kicked out due to being a suspected "bank robbing terrorist". The next day, he woke up on the streets to a gay man. They fell in love and started a relationship which only lasted 2 weeks after he discovered him having an affair with another man, both of whom were jumping on the bed, he briefly reverted to his emo state. After this, he visited a coffee shop, befriending Brightclips, who introduced him to trolling on Discord.[10]
He has a sister (voiced by IVONA Penelope), who is also ugly and a brother.
Larry[]
Larry (voiced by Microsoft Azure Brandon (Neural)) is a polite man and brother of Imaginary friend. He originally used to be in a group with the seeker, where he was bullied by all the members. Up until their accounts being deleted, and him befriending Bright. He cares for those around him, and usually doesn't take hate as offensive, until "TROLLING A ANGRY RACIST DAD ON DISCORD! (Got His IP!)" when Joseph joined the chat, with Larry attempting to apologize to Joseph. Joseph denies his apology, and Larry finally snaps at him.
Joseph[]
Joseph (voiced by Microsoft Azure Brandon (Neural)) is an overweight man who, due to his weight, is insecure and occasionally keeps lying to other characters (usually attractive women) to manipulate them and get their approval or sexual interest. Joseph would never get along with Larry until he taught him how to "be mean". One time Joseph admitted that he had sexual intercourse with a guy, but then he later stated that this didn't count as being homosexual.

Additionally, Dylann's mother forces him to teach him how to use Discord.[12]
Jonathan Galindo[]
Jonathan Galindo is a mickey mouse lookalike according to Bright. He used to be the center of attention in his videos, threatening Bright by saying he has his IP and asking him to do challenges. This would however backfire and Bright would send his IP to the Jonathan Galindo account, with their account being deleted out of being scared after. An unestimated amount of videos were made on this series, until around May 2021 when Youtube deleted a certain amount of his videos for "promoting self harm" and then Bright took down the rest.
