Line 89:
* This is the basis of the ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' episode "Spew Tube."
* ''[[Kick Buttowski]]'' tries to take the #1 spot on "rank of awesome" and eventually succeeds; and every time Brad embarrasses himself in front of a crowd, it ends up with a video uploaded to the internet.
* In ''[[South Park]]'', when Randy Marsh stupidly says the [[N-Word Privileges]] on ''Wheel Of Fortune'', Cartman later notes how many times he watched the clip on
==Real Life==
* The act of swatting, i.e. phoning SWAT teams with a false lead intent on framing a person as a dangerous criminal and having them raided at their home is done as an extreme act of humiliating a person especially if the target is filming a live stream on YouTube. Needless to say, this is both extremely dangerous as SWAT teams take their jobs seriously and would not sit well with having their time and resources wasted on such false alarms, and morally reprehensible as well–people have been killed as a result of these so-called "pranks". At least one swatter was sentenced to twenty years as a result of a 2017 swatting incident,<ref>[https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/serial-swatter-tyler-barriss-sentenced-20-years-death-kansas-man-n978291 Serial 'swatter' sentenced to 20 years for death of Kansas man shot by police]</ref> and laws have been proposed to define swatting as a form of domestic terrorism.
* On top of numerous meme images made in the aftermath of Brazil's humiliating defeat against Germany during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, a number of pranksters took to sites such as PornHub and ironically posted highlight videos of the game mockingly passing it off as a sex video despite having nothing to do with any adult content at all. The porn site wasn't all too pleased about it as they didn't want to run the risk of being sued by FIFA for copyright infringement (besides obvious concerns about the World Cup's image), though they left a rather cheeky tweet telling people that their "public humiliation category is full."<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/pornhub-pleads-users-to-stop-uploading-videos-of-brazil-getting-fked-by-germany-in-the-world-cup-9594287.html PornHub begs users to stop uploading video clips of Brazil getting beaten 7-1]</ref>
