Career
The brothers started to upload their lip sync videos via YouTube in 2007. In 2008, their videos and their YouTube profile garnered over 5 million hits and they have more than 130,000 subscribers from all over the world. Most Mexicans, Americans and Filipinos gave positive remarks for the duo's uploaded videos. Most of their videos were shot at home, as seen in the background, where their aunt Mama Auntie also appears. They use their laptop and cellphone cameras to shoot the videos. Aside from their aunt, other guests who appeared in their videos include their friends and Philippine TV celebrities. Among their most popular YouTube videos are Everybody (Backstreet's Back) (by Backstreet Boys), Wanna Be (by Spice Girls) and MariMar (by Thalía).
The duo made their first TV appearance in GMA Network's Bubble Gang on June 27, 2008; they are now regulars in that show. Aside from Bubble Gang, they have been seen in MTV Campus Crashers. In their TV interviews, their real voices were masked using high-pitched tones or other voices through the microphone so that their real voices would remain a mystery.
Due to their popularity, they are now contract artists in GMA Artist Center and recently appearing as regulars in SOP Rules. The duo became recording artists and they have their first song, Kapit (Dayo soundtrack), in which they used their real singing voices. In March 2009, they released their own debut album entitled Uploaded under Sony BMG and their first single is Lumayo Ka Man sa Laklak, a parody where the lyrics of The Teeth's song "Laklak" is sung to the tune of Rodel Naval's classic song "Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin".
The duo have revealed their real voices for the first time in a March 20, 2009, episode of Bubble Gang in which they watched the IyoTube segment featuring the impersonators called "Mokmok Palabok". This marked the first acting stint of the duo on television. Also the duo worked with their real-life friend Aljur Abrenica and his partner Kris Bernal in the soap All My Life, which is their first primetime show on television.
On March 26, 2009, YouTube account moymoypalaboy, the duo's YouTube account that started their popularity was suspended. YouTube claimed it was due to copyright infringement. Although the duo's lipsync videos of themselves were original, the songs used weren't theirs. A new YouTube account was created that same day called moymoypalaboyteam. The original "moymoypalaboy" YouTube account was eventually reactivated on April 8, 2009.
In September 2010, the brothers were featured in an ad for Coca Cola called 'Coca Cola Brrrr'.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
