Mark Rober Career
Rober began making viral videos while working at NASA. His videos cover a wide range of topics, including ideas for April Fools’ Day pranks and teaching about tricks like beating an escape room and non-invasively filming primates in zoos. He promotes science by creating videos that test sharks’ ability to detect blood in the water, fluidized sand, and water purification.
Rober uploaded his first YouTube video in October 2011. It depicts a Halloween costume in which two iPads were used to create the illusion of seeing through his body. His video of the “gaping hole in torso” costume went viral, garnering 1.5 million views in a single day. The following year, Rober launched Digital Dudz, an online Halloween costume company specializing in Halloween costumes based on the video’s concept. In its first three weeks of operation, the company made $250,000 in revenue, and by 2013, his app-integrated costumes were sold in retail stores such as Party City. CBS News, CNN, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Fox, Yahoo! News, Discovery Channel, The Today Show, and GMA all featured the costumes. In 2013, he sold the company to Morphsuits, a UK-based costume company.
Rober posted a video in December 2018 showing how he deceived parcel thieves with an engineered contraption that sprayed glitter on the thieves, emitted a foul odor, and recorded video of the thieves. The video quickly went viral, garnering 25 million views in a single day. Rober later removed two of the five recorded incidents after discovering that two of the thieves were actually friends of a person he hired to assist him in catching the package thieves. Rober followed up in December 2019, collaborating with Macaulay Culkin and featuring an improved design. A year later, Rober would post another follow-up, this time with a third edition of the bomb. During the construction of the third bomb, Rober worked with Jim Browning, ScammerPayback, and various state and federal authorities to use the glitter bomb bait package to track and arrest money mules and their supervisors who were working with scamming call centers in India to rob elderly people of thousands of dollars.
Some of the investigations are still being conducted. This was in conjunction with a multi-YouTube movement to retaliate against and shut down scam callers, while also raising awareness to prevent others from being duped in the future.
