YouTube's N64 Kids Find New Fame with BMW

Rachel and Brandon Kuzma have gone from internet sensations to starring in their own commercial, thanks to the power of YouTube - and the watchful eyes of BMW.

The Kuzmas, stars of a wildly popular family video shot as they celebrate after unwrapping a Nintendo 64 on Christmas morning in 1998, are now the stars of a new BMW commercial, the New York Daily News reports. Brandon uploaded the family video to his website, where it attracted the attention of a visitor who uploaded it to video-sharing site YouTube, where BMW found it.

The video shows the Kuzma children, especially Brandon, celebrating wildly as he opens a Christmas present to discover it is a Nintendo 64. "Nintendo 64! Oh, my god!" Brandon screams, followed by cheers from Rachel. The two children then begin pumping their fists in the air, shrieking, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

BMW bought the rights to the film for an undisclosed amount and has featured it in its broadcast commercial since Nov. 21.
