Lubalin - Internet Drama part 2 (She Stole My Broccoli) 2020
Lubalin is a Canadian singer, musician, and video producer from Montreal, Quebec. He was initially a R&B/pop musician before his production of humorous videos attracted wider attention. His 2020 series of internet drama videos attracted over 5 million followers and over 200 million views, and got him invited on to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Kelly Clarkson Show. Lubalin is signed with record label Cult Nation. He also worked as a producer and songwriting collaborator on labelmate Charlotte Cardin's 2023 album 99 Nights, for which he was a dual Juno Award nominee for Songwriter of the Year and Producer of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2024.
In the first video in his internet drama series, he took an old screenshot shared to the OldPeopleFacebook subreddit and morphed it into a moody (and suddenly very dramatic) two-person ballad. In the screenshot turned song, an inquiry for a home rental quickly spirals into confusion and threats to contact the attorney general. "That whole week was kind of, can you do it again or was this a fluke?" said Lubalin. "And then I did it again." In his second TikTok in the series, which Lubalin said was inspired by the 1980s sound of the Weeknd, he made an electronica dance track featuring a woman complaining that her broccoli casserole recipe had been stolen by another and passed off as her own. That song has been seen even more times than the first.
As for the woman angry over the broccoli casserole recipe, it doesn't appear she is actually a real person. A 37-year-old elementary school teacher in Texas was role-playing as Helen Hywater in the Facebook group "A group where we all pretend to be boomers" back in March 2020 when she posted the broccoli status and began interacting with Doris, who she said was another role-player. She said that after going viral their accounts were subsequently suspended for pretending to be other people.
