'''Ned''': Really? On [[YouTube]] it looked like you got your ass kicked.|''[[Seventeen Again]]''}}
 
In modern fiction, characters will post embarrassing videos of each other on [[YouTube]] ([[Bland -Name Product|or something eerily similar]]). This functions just like public humiliation, but instead of just their friends and family, it's everyone in the entire world.
 
Typically, the video will become a viral sensation, getting millions of views in a manner of days. Although not as common as depicted in the media, it is [[Truth in Television]].
 
Compare [[Instant Web Hit]] and [[Stupid Statement Dance Mix]].

FAMOUS!!!!]]" in front of [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|P]][[Yandere|e]][[Blond Guys Are Evil|t]][[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections|e]][[Draco in Leather Pants|r]].

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:
