Bubb Rubb is the nom de guerre of a resident of Oakland, California who became an internet cult figure when a report carried by a local news affiliate (KRON) interviewed him on the burgeoning Whistle tips phenomenon. He and fellow interviewee Lil' Sis provided numerous soundbytes that became a wildly popular internet sensation, persisting for several years. A pseudonym or allonym is a name (sometimes legally adopted, sometimes purely fictitious) used by an individual as an alternative to their birth name. ... Whistle tips, also known as whistler tips, are car exhaust pipes modified through the installation of a piece of metal that causes the car to make a high-pitched whistling noise audible for up to a mile, known as the WOOO WOOOOO. They are mostly popular in Oakland, California, USA...
For those of you who have not seen or heard of BubbRubb, he made his television debut on KRON 4 News.
While running the report, the news station encountered BubbRubb and Lil Sis who were interviewed as their station installed the Whistle Tips.
The news clip, which is real and meant to be serious, is hilarious as they interview BubbRubb and allow him to drive his car to show off the Whistle Tips [while doing so he almost hits another car and runs a stop sign; hilarious].
