Aussie teens from the 2010s will no doubt remember Aussie boy band and comedy group The Janoskians.

In 2011, Beau Brooks, his younger brothers Luke and Jai Brooks, along with friends Daniel Sahyounie and James Yammouni gained popularity for their amusing YouTube videos, practical jokes on Melbourne residents and each other, mockumentaries, and skits, as well as their pop music like Set This World on Fire and Best Friends.

Even though they had over 2.6 million followers on YouTube, the boys stopped posting videos on the platform back in 2018. It wasn’t until two years later that Jai Brooks publicly announced their disbandment.

But over five years later, what are the famous brothers up to now?

In a response to the post, Jai Brooks jokingly said, “Oh come on Beau, I was there first,” to which Stephanie playfully suggested, “Maybe a double date?

In 2011, Beau, Luke, Jai, Daniel, and James came together to create a comedy troupe. They gained popularity on various social media platforms by sharing their crude humor and practical joke clips.

Apart from starring in their own MTV show and featuring in a Netflix film, these guys additionally embarked on a musical tour and managed to sell out London’s famed Wembley Arena at one stage.

Worldwide recognition followed these young men as they graced The Ellen DeGeneres Show and even found themselves romantically linked with prominent celebrities in Tinseltown.
