February 2013 nor'easter, DiBitetto created a YouTube video entitled "Bread and Milk", which received over 17 million views. The video has since then been shown on
The View,
CNN,
The Today Show, and local weather channels. DiBitetto has claimed that this video, along with his internet following, is what eventually got him his stardom in show business, stating that "thirty seconds of stupidity brought [him] more recognition than thirty years of stand-up." The following year, DiBitetto received a phone call from
Kevin James, who had personally asked him to appear in a minor role in
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015). James had told Dibitetto that he was so impressed by his YouTube videos that he created the "Mall Cop" character, Gino Chizetti, based on Tony Gaga, a recurring character in Dibitetto's videos. a reaction to
Justin Bieber's 2014 arrest; an encounter with a creepy clown that was seen walking around
Staten Island, New York; and a rant about
Kanye West's behavior on the
2015 Grammy Awards. DiBitetto also has a mini-web series on his YouTube channel entitled "The Shed". The series takes place in his backyard and involves the construction of a shed that Dibitetto bought from
Sam's Club, and the adventures that follow it after the shed is finished being built. However, he has since then quit his bus driver job and became a stand-up comedian as a full-time occupation. Throughout DiBitetto's previous and recent stand-up tours, he has been selling out nearly every venue where he has made an appearance.
