However, shortly thereafter he returned to producing videos for the channel, and the videos began to receive more views, and it was when he launched the parody Alô vó, tô reprovado in 2012, which within a week received five million views. Nunes then moved to Teresina. He had no place to live, but was invited by the YouTuber Bob Nunes to live with his (Bob's) family in a neighborhood in the northern part of the city.
