History[edit]
Mamahuhu was launched on February 20, 2014, the studio launches hidden cameras with westerners and Chinese actors. This original concept combining Westerners and Chinese allows the channel to be known more and more on the Chinese web but also beyond Chinese borders.[4]
From November 10, 2014,[5] the studio embarks[6] on humorous skits by talking about the cultural differences between Western expats[7] in China and Chinese, and their relationship with locals. It talks about romantic relationships,[8] clichés, family pressure on Chinese youth,[9] but also about racism.[10]
It is also at this time that the studio will allow two actors to hatch like the American Donnie Does or the Chinese Kay Wang.[11]
On May 31, 2015, the last video was released, following the departure of Donnie Does and many tensions inside the studio. The studio closed.[12][13]
On August 1, 2017, the studio reopened[14] with a new direction and new faces. The American Youtuber Donnie Does is not kept following his choice to sign a contract with an American brand which he is responsible for promoting the brand. Despite the refusal of some members, Kay Wang returns to the studio.[15]
September 10, 2017 was the last appearance of Kay Wang in the studio, after participating in several videos of the studio the Chinese actress is thanked by the Studio Management. Indeed, the leaders did not appreciate that she created her own studio[16] called 233 Gang with her own YouTube channel.[17]
On February 13, 2018,[18] YouTube rewards for their work Mamahuhu by awarding the Silver Designer Trophy rewarding channels with more than 100,000 subscribers.
