Throughout the 2010s, Jenna Marbles was one of the YouTube community’s most beloved and popular creators.
Since releasing the canonical ‘How to Trick People Into Thinking You Are Good Looking’ in 2010, Jenna would use this format and other 2010 YouTube comedy staples like ‘Girls v Guys’ to grow her audience. She moved to LA, began dating fellow creator Julien Solomita, and would collaborate with many of the YouTube stars of that era.
Jenna’s videos changed throughout the years as she moved away from her exaggerated early persona into a chill, big sister vibe. Videos often took on a DIY angle where Jenna would pursue a goal like how many balloons it would take to make her dog fly, or how to camoflague herself into a chair. Regardless of how outlandish the premise, her loyal audience stuck around.
Jenna was among the YouTubers ‘cancelled’ in the whole 2020 lockdown/morality purge craze people go in to that year. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Jenna’s apology and subsequent YouTube retirement seem permanent. While Julien continues to work and create online, Jenna has remained offline ever since.
