Although as far as we know, there are reports of cameras and the internet existing in the European nation, it seems as if Dobrik’s social media break is a testament to his dedication to quality content – if you can’t trick people into kissing their bros and none of your Slovakian friends’ moms will marry you for the lolz, what’s the point of even being a creator?

Considering, in part that videos like “YOU’LL NEVER GUESS WHAT WE DID AT THE MUSEUM OF THE SLOVAK VILLAGE” and “BUYING MY MOM’S FRIEND’S COUSIN 10 POUNDS OF SOURKRAUT (FREAKOUT)” could probably only garner so much VlogSquad hype, Dobrik expressed his hopes of making his way back the good ‘ol US of A. “I hope to return to the States soon, it’s like I’m lost, I’m literally stranded,” he said. “Wish me luck.”

And it seems the apparent luck wishes of Dobrik’s roughly 18.3 million 12-year-old fans paid off – on Friday, Dobrik announced that he had managed to escape his literal entrapment from the eastern European nation.

THEY LET ME BACK INTO AMERICA!!” the internet celebrity wrote on Instagram alongside two photos of him in front of the Washington Monument. “All I had to do was exchange 12 Teslas and Jasons first born for my green card!!” he said, referencing his buddy and former stepson, 48-year-old YouTuber Jason Nash.
