Career
In 2010, Kyle Forgeard established his YouTube channel NELK along with his former partners Niko Martinovic, Marko Martinovic, and Lucas Gasparini in Mississauga, Canada. In the beginning, Kyle used to upload short skits and funny videos on his channel, but later, Jesse Sebastiani joined NELK, and they together turned it into a prank site. Kyle uploaded his first YouTube video ‘McDonalds Job Interview PRANK’ on April 13, 2013.
In a YouTube video, while talking about the onset of his career as a YouTuber, Kyle said,
Me and Jesse both come from a film-making background, I used to be into directing videos, I have always known how to edit. I have been making videos just for fun since I was a little kid, like funny videos and stuff. YouTube was just natural… I was doing it for fun and then I started getting a following..it was so encouraging to keep going.”
Thereafter, they uploaded various videos like Stealing Soccer Balls From Real Games Prank (2013), Involving Strangers In Drug Deals Prank (2014), Shark Attack Prank!!! (2014), etc., on their YouTube channel. In 2014, Kyle uploaded a YouTube video in which he pranked his mother by throwing a fake house party that she strictly prohibited.
In 2015, NELK gained immense popularity with its ‘Coke Prank on Cops’ video in which the NELK Boys filmed themselves telling Los Angeles Police Department officers that they had coke in the trunk of their car, leading the officers to think that they were illegally selling cocaine. Later, during the investigation, the police officers realized that the boys were actually referring to Coca-Cola, and not cocaine. The video went viral on the internet with over 41 million views on YouTube.
Later, in 2017, NELK Boys launched their lifestyle brand ‘Full Send,’ a merchandise website. NELK earned its YouTube Golden Button in January 2018 for crossing one million subscribers.
Due to the graphic and sexual nature of the content of videos, in august 2020, NELK created its own online portal ‘Send Club,’ a paid subscription service in which the members can stream the uncensored videos that were disapproved by YouTube due to its age restriction policy.
