The Vlog Squad is a collective squad of vloggers featured in the vlogger David Dobrik's main vlog as a recurring group of friends. Because the cast of the vlogs samples Dobrik's larger friend group, membership rotates on an ongoing basis. Because the cast is, at its core, a friend group, membership in the cast of the vlogs is amorphous.[1] The name "The Vlog Squad" was given to the group by their viewers and fans and eventually, the name stuck.
