Arlington Vine Star Victor Pope Jr. &#; Formerly Southside Vic &#; Found A New Home At YouTube Channel Super Deluxe.

Internet trolling is probably a waste of time for most people.

But for Arlington-born Vine star Victor Pope Jr., the art of the trolling took him from the DMs of CNN correspondents to landing his own Super Deluxe YouTube show called &#;Pope Fiction.&#; And just three months into his run, his three videos have logged almost 2 million views.

Pope, formerly known in social media circles as Southside Vic, is a standup comedian turned viral video star thanks to his creative and well-timed short videos. The year-old first captured our attention when he used the media hysteria surrounding the Ebola crisis to promote a fake mixtape.

But since going viral, Pope has expanded his platform and humor to discuss deeper issues like his struggles with mental illness and addiction. Some of these more serious topics are central themes of his new internet show.

&#;Pope Fiction&#; can be described as an outlet for Pope&#;s more mature jokes formatted for a post-Adult Swim audience.  In one video titled &#;Suicide Note,&#; Pope opens up about his struggles with bipolar disorder and suicidal thoughts during a stand up set, which he postures to the audience as being &#;just jokes&#; to downplay the harsh reality.

&#;I decided to write a suicide letter &#; not a suicide letter &#; my suicide letter,&#; Pope jokes in the episode. &#;I want to specify, I don&#;t ghost write suicide letters. Don&#;t hit me up up trying to get 16 suicide bars after the show, I can&#;t help you.&#;

Although it takes a dark comedic turn, the video finishes out as sort of a mental health PSA with the message of being stronger than your bipolar episodes:

Pope&#;s other two &#;Pope Fiction&#; episodes also explore slightly darker themes wrapped in a pop culture subtext, from what really goes on during pizza tracker prog

STRANGER: Victor Pope Jr.
LOCATION: Gloria&#;s Restaurant, Arlington Highlands Boulevard, Arlington, Texas
THEME: Dining with an aspiring standup comedian

“I want to go down as one of the best standup comedians of all time,” said Victor Pope Jr.

We were nearing the end of an almost three-hour dinner together in his hometown of Arlington, Texas. Victor, a friendly and engaging year-old, had spent much of it explaining how he&#;s developing his career in comedy. It started with jokes on Twitter, before moving on to the app Vine where he posts six-second video skits for his more-than one million viewers. But his end goal is to move to New York City and make it as a professional standup comedian.

“I definitely know I&#;m not there yet, but I&#;ve got a lot patience,” he said.

In the meantime he&#;s working on his videos, and his offbeat sense of humor covers everything from Red Riding Hood trash-talking her grandma to the Hamburglar going on a first date, and from a sketch about tornadoes only knocking stuff down because they&#;re so dizzy from spinning, to a longer video about getting pulled over by the cops that ends with a great punchline about white privilege.

Victor suggested meeting at Gloria&#;s Restaurant in Arlington, a large and welcoming place serving up Latin cuisine like fajitas and quesadillas. I was a few minutes early so took a look around and saw most of the tables filled with apparently happy diners.

When Victor arrived for the interview, he gave a firm handshake and then we sat down, making small talk. Although he was effortlessly likable throughout the meal, he seemed a little guarded at first, maybe bemused by the id
