The Nelk Boys are a Canadian‑American group of YouTube content creators known for prank videos, party vlogs, and lifestyle content built around their “Full Send” brand and audience of mostly young male viewers.
Group overview
- The group started on YouTube around 2010 and has grown into a broader entertainment and merchandising business, including the Full Send brand and related ventures like the Happy Dad hard seltzer.
- Their content focuses on pranks, partying, travel, and a “no holding back” style that has helped them build a large following but also led to frequent controversy and platform issues.
Main members and origins
- NELK was founded by Kyle Forgeard with early collaborators including Jesse Sebastiani, Lucas Gasparini, Nick Porter, and Elliot Slater, all originally from the Mississauga area in Ontario, Canada.
- Over time, the lineup has shifted; recurring on‑camera personalities have included Kyle Forgeard, Stephen “SteveWillDoIt” Deleonardis, Salim Sirur, Gabriel Poncio, Aaron “Steiny” Steinberg, Arthur “Jimmy Gambles” Kulik, and Jordan “Cousin Jay” Nwanne.
What they do now
- Beyond YouTube pranks, the Nelk Boys host the Full Send Podcast, collaborate with athletes and influencers, and run merchandise drops and alcohol brands that generate significant revenue despite past YouTube demonetization.
- In recent years they have become more politically visible, publicly supporting Donald Trump’s campaigns and appearing with him at rallies and on their podcast, which has further boosted their profile among his supporters.
