Victor Robert "Vic" DiBitetto (born February 9, 1961) is an American stand-up comedian, Internet personality, singer, and film actor. He often refers to himself as “The Donkey of Comedy,” or “The Working Class Zero.” Dibitetto is known for his YouTube videos, most notably his "Bread and Milk" video, and for portraying Gino Chizetti in the 2015 comedy film, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2.
Dibitetto is expected to appear in a Hulu sitcom named, "Don't Know Jack".
Dibitetto was born on February 9, 1961 in Brooklyn, New York. He is of Italian descent. He started doing stand-up in 1981 at Pips Comedy Club, which was located in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.
In 1991, Dibitetto made his first television appearance on America's Funniest People with his son, Michael, and was the $10,000 Grand Prize Winner for their home video of a mock ventriloquist act.
In February 2013, in response to the February 2013 nor'easter, Dibitetto created a YouTube video entitled "Bread and Milk", which received over 13 million views. The video has since then been shown on The View,CNN, The Today Show, and local weather channels. Dibitetto has claimed that this video, along with his internet following, is what eventually got him his stardom in show business, stating that "thirty seconds of stupidity brought [him] more recognition than thirty years of stand-up."
The following year, Dibitetto received a phone call from Kevin James, who had personally asked him to appear in a minor role in Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015). James had told Dibitetto that he was so impressed by his YouTube videos that he created the "Mall Cop" character, Gino Chizetti, based on Tony Gaga, a recurring character in Dibitetto's videos.
