Talking Ben the Dog | Before They Were Famous | First Dog To Support BLM & iShowSpeed

Let’s be honest, “Talking Ben the Dog” sure seems like a pretty generic app on the surface. In the game, users can interact with Ben and ask him basically any question they want in the hopes of receiving a snarky reply -- but what exactly about that screams top-of-the-charts worthy to you? Well, apparently, it’s all in how you use it. After being released over a decade ago, “Talking Ben the Dog” is seeing a massive resurgence in popularity thanks to YouTuber iShowSpeed that’s sending this simple and child-friendly video game app back to the very top of the app charts. Of course, iShowSpeed isn’t exactly using this app as it was wholly intended, which probably helps explain some of the interest in the first place. But just where did Talking Ben come from and why is he now iShowSpeed’s most popular side-kick? Find out on our latest edition of Before They Were Famous!
