If you are into social media and comedy, you've probably heard of Lele Pons, one of the most famous YouTubers in the US. People who watch her videos have one thing in common: They all love her. This Venezuelan-American social media star has 18.5 million followers on Instagram and 5 million subscribers on YouTube. Watching her, it's not hard to see why she has so many fans — mainly because she isn't scared to be ridiculous, judged or mocked.
Eleonora "Lele" Pons suffered a lot of bullying when she was in high school and she had to learn to love herself despite all of that. She started making Vines (RIP Vine!) with her friends at 15 and quickly became an internet sensation. At 19, she teamed up with Melissa De la Cruz and created "Surviving High School," a book in which she shares her personal life story.
In her videos, she switches between speaking English and Spanish, all while laughing at herself. She makes fun of human relationships in general, playing different roles with her friends and co-stars, touching upon ex-girlfriends and boyfriends, friendship, parties, work, family, money and food. She and her crew also made some epic impersonations of the Powerpuff Girls, the Tooth Fairy, Harry Potter, Titanic, Dora The Explorer and even KUWK.
But the best part about Lele: She loves food and often makes good use of it as part of her pranks and jokes. Food has played a major role in some of her videos, helping her to make fun of daily situations that we all go through. Here are some of Lele Pons' best food moments on YouTube and Instagram.
1. When she has midnight snack cravings
I mean...who hasn't done this?
2. When she wanted chocolate cake, and got vanilla instead
Getting the cake you don't like must be the worst birthday present.
3. When she spotted someone bringing food to class
"Ok, I'll give you one... but don't tell anyone!" I think we all know what usually happens next in this situation.
4. When your Italian friend's mom offers you something to eat
You'll never be hungry with Italian friends.
5. When she got her meal after everyone was already finished
Ugh, we've all been there.
6. When she chose the prom date with the cookies (aka the real MVP)
I don't need the suit, just give me some treats!
7. When she was desperate for candy
Piñata destruction in 3, 2, 1...
8. When someone stole her food
You've been warned!
The magic of Lele's comedy is being able to laugh at herself and have a good time, but mostly, it's her ability to give it to us real when it comes to food. Everyone loves cookies, but not everyone is willing to act upon how strongly they feel about them. Hey, you know you'd agree to a date if they had a bag of Milano cookies, too. Lele just actually does it.
