{{quote|'''Ned''': So how'd the fight go?<br />
'''Mark''': Oh you know, it was pretty even, basically a draw...<br />
'''Ned''': Really? On [[YouTube]] it looked like you got your ass kicked.|''[[17 Again]]''}}
 
Line 31:
* In ''[[Zack and Miri Make a Porno]]'', a video of Miri in her "granny panties" becomes an instant sensation, inspiring the characters to try and make a movie.
* In ''[[Hellboy II the Golden Army]]'', one of Tom Manning's jobs is to deny the existence of Hellboy and the BPRD. So the fact that videos of Hellboy keep popping up on [[YouTube]] is indirectly embarrassing for him.
{{quote| '''Tom Manning''': I suppress each photo, cell phone videos, they cost me a fortune, and then they show up on Youtube... God, I hate Youtube.}}
* Happens [[Running Gag|several times]] in ''[[Sex Drive]]''. Felicia is taking a piss in the car's radiator to give it some needed fluid - a car comes by & one of the kids in the back takes a picture which ends up on Pissingladies.com. Ian gets a boner at an abstinence rally and people video & post it. Etc.
* In ''[[Hancock]]'', PR executive Ray (Jason Bateman) shows Hancock (Will Smith) [[YouTube]] videos of the objectionable actions he takes as a superhero. In one, he grabs ice cream from an ice cream truck nearly-naked with his clothes burnt off. In another, he's shown grabbing (by the tail) a whale that had beached itself, and tossing it out to sea hundreds of yards away, smashing a small boat.
{{quote| '''Hancock:''' I don't even remember that.<br />
'''Ray:''' Greenpeace does. Walter [the whale] does. }}
* In ''[[17 Again]]'', the main character gets in a fight at school, which he loses badly. He tries to tell his "father", Ned, <ref>actually his friend, who is acting as his father due to his [[Time Travel]]; [[It Makes Sense in Context]]</ref> that it was a draw, but Ned says he saw it on [[YouTube]].
Line 62:
* On ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', Marshall discovers that there's a video of him interrupting a college news report by running in naked and drunk, calling himself Beercules. He finds the guy who posted it and tried to get him to take it down, but it ends up happening again. There are also Robin's old videos as Canadian teen pop idol Robin Sparkles. Videos of Ted breaking down while giving speeches at weddings are a minor [[YouTube]] hit.
* Discussed briefly in [[QI]]. The panel were discussing the folding of paper, and what was needed to fold a piece of paper in half X number of times. [[Stephen Fry]] said "[[Accidental Innuendo|What you need is length and thickness]]", to which Alan eventually replied:
{{quote| '''Alan:''' That's gonna be snipped out, straight on [[YouTube]].<ref>It was, the very next day.</ref>}}
* In [[Noob (TV series)|Noob]], one of the players gets his avatar stuck in dancing mode by a hacker on regular basis and a guildmate that hates him films every single occurrence to post it on her blog.
