Bretman Rock Would Like To Thank 'Everyone That Watched Me Grow Up On The Internet'

"I will usually understand the assignment."


That's what Bretman Rock wrote on Instagram accompanying some striking photographs of himself walking the red carpet ahead of the first-ever MTV Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted on Monday night (May 17). Need proof? How about the very first words we suggested whenever he walked onstage to accept his award:


"Hey guys, I've never prepared a speech before," he started, "so what I'm about to mention is... Unscripted, or whatever."


As an aesthetics influencer, a web series star, and more, Rock is aware what it takes to break through and make his presence known. The sight of his 16 million Instagram followers and 8.4 YouTuber subscribers speak for itself. Although at the Unscripted special, he was the one in front of the microphone holding the Golden Popcorn, which he accepted as Breakthrough Social Star. As such, he was the one speaking.


"I would like to thank each person that watched me grow up on the world wide web. It's probably the most traumatizing [thing] I've ever done in my entire life," Rock mentioned, immediately after Olivia Rodrigo's "Deja Vu" played him onstage. Nevertheless it's all worth it because I'm here onstage accepting this award."


"This award is for all of the Asian Residents of the
U.S. Who [believe] in me, all of the Pacific Islanders, and most importantly, this is for all of the LGBTQ community," Rock concluded.
