A FB friend posted a couple of clips of this kid, who got them from a friend, who got them from a friend, yada yada yada. No one seems to know his name or channel or anything, but he’s a hoot.

He’s a chubby kid, about 12-14, with a Southern (US) accent. Imagine if Weird Al and Honey Boo Boo had a kid.

The first video I saw, he played himself and his grandma.

KID: “Ooh, Grandma, I can’t eat another bite.”  
~cut to Grandma~  
GRANDMA: [flashing gun] “Yes you can.”  
~cut to kid~  
KID: “You know what Grandma I’m gonna eat this whole thing!”

Second video, a friend approaches him with his right hand up in the air, as if expecting a high-five.

~cut to the kid, thinking to himself~ “Stay calm, it’s just a high five, you can do this.”  
…Kid grabs friend’s hands and licks them.

Is this ringing a bell for anyone?

I entered “chubby kid” in YouTube’s search, one of the search suggestions was “chubby kid vine” and there it is.
