The Dobre brothers went viral because of Vine, and they're going viral again on TikTok.

Lucas, Marcus, Cyrus, and Darius Dobre are known for gifting luxury cars and filming themselves flexing their seemingly endless wealth. The youngest brothers, Lucas and Marcus, brought the family to internet fame with their shared Vine account TwinBotz. Between the siblings' shared channel the Dobre Brothers, the twins' channel, and a channel dedicated to pricey cars, the Dobre brothers have a combined 25.56 million subscribers.

They're currently on tour. Tickets, with a meet and greet option, range from $75.99 to $599.99 for the "Dobre Army ultimate fan experience."

In a quote tweet, Lucas Dobre apologized for the bad optics and blamed "a long 48 hours of restless filming and touring" for their exhaustion.

But Twitter users and former fans weren't having it. They compared the Dobre brothers' fan interactions with those of other stars like BTS and One Direction, who treated their fans more graciously during meet and greets.

Their paltry apology also became a copypasta. Drew Gooden, Danny Gonzalez, and Kurtis Conner — another set of YouTubers currently on tour — parodied the viral TikTok during their meet and greet. As a fan posed for a photo with them, the three comedians avoided eye contact and didn't bother to smile like the Dobre brothers did. When the fan tried to walk away, Gooden, Gonzalez, and Conner pretended to beat them up.
