## Biography

### Past Life

Billy Bob Tanley (born James Hilbert) on July 26, 1975, in Freaksville, Alabama, to Vietnam War veteran and local bartender, Robert “Billy Bob” Hilbert Sr. (January 19, 1942 - September 13, 2001), and his mother, Nancy Johnson (March 17, 1958-). He lived in an old trailer park. He has a twin brother, Jim Tanley.

Billy's father was an alcoholic and would often lose his mind due to PTSD from the Vietnam War and had got angry when he lost the "1984 Lottery Drawings". His father was known as "A Violent Redneck Drunk." One day, Billy realized that his father’s shift as a bartender had ended an hour ago. His mother told him to visit his local tavern to keep an eye on him, and when Billy went, he witnessed his father having sex with a prostitute at the counter table. Robert saw Billy looking out the window and blackmailed him into keeping the affair “their little secret,” or he will tell his mother about his bad grades at school. His mother, Nancy Johnson, filed a divorce against Robert in 1988, and Nancy won custody of Billy. Robert later did community service in his spare time after the divorce. Billy claimed his mother won control because the judge had “the hots for her.”

Billy met Otis when they were kids and later became best friends. He recalled Ronald McDonald coming to his kindergarten class, which mentally scarred him. He used to live next door with a perverted neighbor named Mr. Henderson. Billy mentioned that he was not that popular in high school claiming he was “the quiet kid” in class and couldn’t ask the ladies out (something he regrets now). Around that same time, Billy Bob Tanley became friends with his brother's best friend, Nasty Jack. Nasty would egg him to do stuff like drinking and smoking weed.

In 1990, Billy and Nasty Jack were sent to Juvie State Prison after causing a multi-car collision while drunk driving on a highway (Though Billy claimed to not remember the incident; being drunk at the time due to Nasty Jack pressuring him to drink some beer prior to that. And said that he only remembered waking up in a Juvie cell). This incident caused Robert to beat Billy up with a sledgehammer when they got home, which his wife, Nancy, witnessed. She grabbed the hammer away from him and hit Robert with it, knocking him unconscious. Robert was arrested and sent to prison, where he stayed until his death on September 13, 2001.

In the summer of 1991, Billy visited Las Vegas, Nevada, where he met a stripper named Mrs. Funkin in a bar (a year before his brother Jim Funkin did); they later went to his motel room and did the sixty-nine. During that time, Billy claimed he was a part time prostitute. After graduating from high school in 1993, Billy served in the United States Marine Corps during the Somali Civil War and was promoted to Marine Corps until he was discharged.

"*Yo Billy Bob, it's probing time.*" ― The Alien Gheys talking to Billy before he gets probed up the ass.

At some point, Billy served in the United States Marine Corps during the Somali Civil War and was promoted to Marine Corps; until he was discharged. Billy mentioned wanting to be an artist when he was younger and tried to go to art school.

Prior to being being an alcoholic, Billy worked with Otis in the lumberjack business, where he met Barry. They used to collect lumber woods and tell stories by the campfire.

In 2008, Billy went out hunting for firewood for his chimney when suddenly some alien greys took Billy into their spaceship and probed him up the ass.

He woke up the following day in the woods, completely naked. This event traumatized him so much that it gave him PTSD and made him a severe alcoholic, and he hasn't been the same since. According to him, this incident changed his entire personality. After the incident, Billy quit his job in the lumberjack business but stayed in contact with Barry.

In February of 2012, **Billy Bob Tanley** and Otis started working in the lumberjack business, where he met a man named Barry. While working, Billy was carrying a carton of wood and passed out. When he woke up, Otis and Barry pranked him by telling him that he was probed by the aliens again, triggering his PTSD. He retired from the lumberjack business in January 2015.

In February of 2015, Billy Bob Tanley would join the BDF Network with his nephew Bubba Dunk Funkin and Green Psycho 17, Steve The Darkness, Steve The Devil, Nicky Nutterball He retired from the BDF Network in July 2015 to make a YouTube Channel.

Billy lived in a trailer park in Freaksville from 2010 to 2018 in his mobile home. He later moved into his friend Otis's place in mid 2018. In mid 2019 however, Billy moved back into the mobile home with his nephew Bubba Dunk Funkin.

## Personality

Billy Bob Tanley is portrayed to be a stereotypical alcoholic redneck with anger issues. He uses a drunken tone in his voice which helps to fit his character. Billy often expresses his anger (e.g., biting his fingers, flipping off the camera, or breaking something). He was abducted by aliens, not once, but three times, which increased his drinking problem. He would drink beer to reduce the pain from his alien probing. Billy rarely laughs at videos because of his certain preferences in "comedy". Billy prefers to laugh at videos with mature jokes and edgy content, which is rarely requested to his channel. This has led some people to believe that Billy does not have any sense of humor.

He made his first video on July 19, 2015, but Billy reuploaded it to YouTube on July 30, 2015, which is Billy's review of the film "Jurassic World." Billy's first reaction video was made on September 29, 2015, in which he reacted to "Ronald McDonald Playground Slaughter" by RackaRacka. Billy's voice was also a little deeper back then.

It featured a series of clips and playlists from all channels, including videos from WolfGX7 Productions. It was first announced on September 27, 2017.

### B&B's Reality (2019)

Before it was named "BBT Reacts," the channel was first called "B&B's Reality," as it was first announced in a video on October 2, 2019. However, Billy created the YouTube channel on September 21, 2019. It featured all of **Billy Bob Tanley's** and ThisBarry's livestream reactions. The channel URL is still called "BBs Reality," which means it hasn't changed since 2019.

### B&B's Archives (2020)

In early 2020, after ThisBarry had retired from YouTube, Billy decided to change the channel's name from "B&B's Reality" to "B&B's Archives". The channel would feature most of their reuploaded livestreams, and after Billy uploaded all their reactions, he would upload his solo reactions on the channel while still uploading his new reactions to the "BBT Network" channel.

### BBT Reacts (2021 to 2023)

    In early 2021, after Billy had received two community guidelines strikes on his "BBT Network" channel, he would make the full-time move to the "B&B's Archives" channel and make it his own by changing its name to "BBT Reacts", respectively. This would become his main channel, while his "BBT Network" channel was under suspension for two weeks. Billy would upload new reactions to this channel, which he still does. It currently has over 15k+ subscribers.

On June 1, 2023, it was announced that Billy would no longer upload videos to the "BBT Reacts" channel, because of multiple strikes on his channels.

### BBT Network (current)

His "BBT Network" channel has been around since its first creation in 2015. It has reached over 30k+ subscribers and has been viewed by over 22 million people. It has also received many community guideline warnings and strikes from YouTube's bot system, which resulted in Billy Bob Tanley making "BBT Reacts" his main channel. As of today, the channel is still focused on his skits and WWE rants. However, he has decided only to re-upload some of his favorite reactions from "BBT Reacts" to the "BBT Network" channel and keep his main reaction videos on "BBT Reacts".

### BBT Reaction Zone (2023 to Now)

On April 17, 2023, Billy received a community guidelines strike on "BBT Reacts" for harassment and cyberbullying in his reaction to a fat man eating a lot of eggs. For a week, reactions were uploaded to the main channel, and when that week passed by, Billy began uploading reactions on "BBT Reacts" again.

However, on May 15, 2023, Billy stopped posting reactions on "BBT Reacts" to take some time to let the strike expire. Therefore, he began uploading reactions on "BBT Reaction Zone". Following the end of "BBT Reacts" two weeks later, this is Billy's channel for reactions.

If Billy combined his channels, he would have over 47k+ subscribers. He appreciates all his fans and subscribers who support him every step of the way, even if YouTube periodically screws him over. However, he would occasionally tell the haters to move on with their lives or watch something else if they didn't like him or his content. His videos are rated R and **NOT FOR KIDS!**
