YOMYOMF, whose name is an acronym for "You Offend ME, You Offend My FAMILY," is a YouTube channel aggregating talent from various performers. Even though the YOMYOMF Network is an Asian American pop culture channel, the channel is intended to showcase quality programming, regardless of the race of the contributors. YouTube stars Ryan Higa (Nigahiga), Kevin Wu (KevJumba), and Chester See feature prominently on the channel. Justin Lin directs the channel.
The channel posted its first video, "Interpretations Trailer," on April 30, 2010. This was followed by eighteen other videos, posted through February 2012. These videos were posted prior to the channel's official unveiling in June 2012 which is related to the current channel.
YouTube picked up the concept and funded it as one of their funded channel. The new channel debuted in 2012 June 4 with an introductory video entitled "It Has Begun: Bananapocalypse." The video featured celebrities including Jessica Alba, Gillian Jacobs, Wayne Brady, and Masi Oka. It received more than one million views within two weeks, and the channel gained 100,000 subscribers in a day.
The channel is based on the Asian American pop culture blog, You Offend Me You Offend My Family.
Founding Partners are Philip W. Chung, Baron Davis, Salvador Gatdula, Ryan Higa, Abdul Khan, Justin Lin, Chester See, Cash Warren and Kevin Wu.
The YOMYOMF YouTube channel was one of the first channels to be funded by YouTube. YOMYOMF was given expectations of being successful by New Media Rockstars, following the channel's introduction video.
The channel is intended to showcase quality programming, regardless of the race of the contributors. It offers regularly scheduled programming.
Internet Icon is a competition between comedy teams to produce videos in a 24-hour timespan. Chris Riedell hosts the show while YouTube sensation Ryan Higa, American actress Christine Lakin, and YouTube star Timothy DeLaGhetto judge the contestants. The episodes of the first season aired on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8pm EST. The judges first watch a huge amount of videos, and limit the audience down to a top 10. They then compete in a series of challenges, until the top 2 remain. The top 2 are voted on for which one will be the next Internet icon. The Internet icon will redeem several grand prizes.
