That's Neil Patrick Harris; not Michael Cera 😅
Yes thank you!!!!
I was so confused lmao
How DARE watch mojo disrespect NPH like that?!?!?!?!?!
It's Wokemojo what do ya expect?!
Michael Cera did it on Arrested Development. I think the narrator said "Both Michael Cera and Neil Patrick Harris" and just showed the one clip.
"In 2016 he passed from a Heart Attack"
....well that escalated quickly.
It went dark real quick when Mojo mentioned that 😳☠️
It was 2013....and yes, coke escalates quickly
"ALEX FROM TARGET"
right hahaha
That really get out of hand fast..
I'll never understand how Alex from Target blew up. Like he's just a normal guy working at Target
I don’t understand how people can send him death threats
cuz girls are annoying
The internet and media were really bored. The part I don't get is they never mentioned in the video that an AD agency was saying Alex worked for them and it was a sponsored event.
@@Dtrain10. Imagine if you will that 100 million people knew about your existence, then remember that 1% of them are extreme individuals who believe in things like school shootings are justified, then remember 1% of them want to start shooting people because they are untreated mental illness. That leaves you with 10,000 people who are positively foaming at the mouth to let their rage out at you and another 1% of them, 100, want to murder you and rape your still dying body.
I don't know about you, but knowing the number of people who want to kill me is more than a handful would make me look over my shoulder and under my car very often.
I've received death threats from exactly 1 guy and that was acting as a server host and forumhost for a free video game(literally free, although I appreciated donations). The guy was extremely mentally unstable and attempted to find me to kill me using my IP address. He didn't like how I had banned him for telling a 14 year old that he was going to rape his mom in front of him and then slit all their throats.
Keep in mind my free game only ever got a community of a couple thousand and STILL I dealt with extreme threats.
He was attractive, that's all. Remember, women today think all men are ugly, so...
Ain’t no way they just called Neil Patrick Harris, Michael Cera 😂
Memes are harmless fun but when you start making fun of someone that's just cruel imo. Just goes to show that people on the internet or irl can be a**holes for no reason other than to inflate their egos.
That and wanting to kill them. Swear. Can't do something fun and harmless without someone wanting to do that.
IMO?
@@mzmega It means "In my opinion "
Even if she HAD had cosmetic surgery, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that
I hope the Korean woman who was falsely claimed to have surgery has help and I hope she's doing well and has a job. Just because a model looks beautiful doesn't mean that she has plastic surgery. While some models do have surgery, others use moister to have their skin healthy or were born with natural skin.
she's taiwanese , not korean
everyone is born with natural skin lol.
@@snowygrass7866 Aplasia cutis congenita.
Imagine being the type of person that when you see a kid in a popular video or photo the the first thing that comes to your mind is "I'm going to send him death threats".
Jealous incels most likely who are ugly as sin and hate seeing guys get attention that aren't them
God I feel so bad for the Taiwanese Model. Her career went down the drain in an instant.
There is always OnlyFans although I could swear I've seen models that look just like her in general porn.
I don’t
What the hell is taiwan ? 😂
The problem isn't that these people got caught living their lives, it's the way people felt the need to trash them for it.
tolls that go too far beside simple teasing are inhumane
Back in the day, there was the stocks and pillory. But when you were through with your time, it was over. Now we have the internet where you are in the "stocks and pillory" forever. Even if you don't deserve it.
Except the lady who left the dog sht on the train and made it everyone else’s problem. I genuinely dont feel bad for her or people like her.
@@AlphaQHard I've got the identity of many of those people sending her hate and their names is on a list . I can't wait to meet each of them
@@AlphaQHard some are old some are old some have mental disabilities but that changes nothing
How can you send death threats to people like Alex from Target or Star Wars Kid? "HOW DARE YOU BE ON THE INTERNET?!?" Like, seriously? Why hate them so much??
1 is super sad. People watching were screaming and throwing stuff at Harambe and that is what caused his death. The zoo did what needed to be done to save the child even though Harambe was simply scared of what was going on :(.
The world has went to shit since Harambe died
“Actor Michael Cera”? Are you telling me WatchMojo doesn’t know Neil Patrick Harris?!?
The little boy from the Harambe incident should be about 10 now. I wonder if he remembers any of it and how it’s effected his life
He is probably blamed for the death of the gorilla
@@Rainiezero his mother should be held accountable
@@barenbloke8019 so you're defending a woman who would let her own kid jump into a gorilla enclosure, got it killed and then not apologize for it only saying: IvE aLwAyS bEeN a GoOd PaReNt.
That little boy started the apocalypse and he isn't even old enough to care😂
@@wesleybowler8603 people don't care about the kid, more the parents who took no responsibility whatsoever.
You forgot to add Caitlin Upton aka Miss South Carolina on the list. To some who dont know, she was famous for her rambling response to a question she answered during Miss Teen USA '07. She ended up getting bullied for it and it made her consider suicide. But fortunately, shes doing fine right now working in real estate
there's a lot of people that could go on this list. the woman in the kombucha meme was just reacting to trying kombucha for the first time but as a result of going viral she lost her job and no one else would hire her.
@@dietotakuthe kombucha meme girl aka Brittany Broski literally says that the meme was the best thing to happen in to her. She turned the meme into over a million Instagram followers and into a successful influencer career.
Why would someone threaten the star wars kid?
If you like anything you will be bullied for it wither it's star wars star try power rangers or really anything other then sports. Just so long as it's the sports team that everyone is cheering for. It's kinda human nature to bully someone who doesn't think like you do. It goes as far back as the stone age when one caveman beat up another caveman just because he had a loin cloth that was a different shade the what the other caveman had
Just my opinion, but Wentworth Miller looked just as hot in the "weight gain meme" pics. And you could hardly call him fat. He was still in pretty good shape and much better shape than the average American.
Thank you. I didn’t know what the issue was he looked fine to me too. Actually really fine
*person.
@@puritychalice Nobody used the word "person" never mind spelled it incorrectly. No sure what you think you did there.
@@markalexander3659 He was saying he's in better shape than the average person worldwide and not just the average American. Don't be dense.
@@chandlertodd5710 Yes but this all happened in America, and America is famous for it's crazy obesity rates and compared to the average American he looks fantastic. But I also agree with you; compared to most countries he is slimmer there than the average person.
woah,who knew a simple meme out of all things could ruin your life
Honestly, Starwars kid should be proud, I wish I could wield a Duel-Bladed lightsaber like he did. May the Force be with him.
Yeah. It was pretty awesome on what he was doing. Other than that he was just being a kid and wanted to try something out that he liked. Me and my friends did similar things when we were young; but never recorded it. The internet can be a very dark place and some people are just sick and twisted....
Before the age of the internet this could still happen; my best friend was modeling and got a job for crimestoppers - the face of bus stop ads appearing as a 'criminal' behind bars and asking people to call if they know of a crime. Within days he was arrested after having someone call the police on him thinking it was a wanted ad - and it happened continually for about a year.
Star Wars kid was my intro to TH-cam .
5:14 I'm sorry, Michael Cera? That's NPH. 🤣
I saw that kid Steve everywhere, I didn't know what it meant 😅
This was the first decent list you guys have done in a while 👌
This is pretty sad. People just can't help being horrible to other people. We need more empathy in the world.
be sure to wear a helmet up there on your high horse
@@mam362 How am I on a high horse? Because I think empathy is a good thing? Don't cut yourself on that edge 🙄
Seriously. Why all of the threats? Especially towards ppl that aren’t hurting anyone & didn’t ask for the attention in the first place.
@@emiliazola3708 Totally agree. I don't get it either.
@@Spiderific Can’t stop laughing over the ‘high horse’ comment 🤣🐴
I’ll always love that episode of Ned’s Declassified where they had one of the characters reference that Star Wars kid parody, was made fun of for it, yet Ned and Cookie had him be part of the awesome movie that they made making him be cool!
It was like the show was saying,
“Don’t make fun of the Star Wars Kid for he has feelings too!”
God bless Ned’s Declassified for that! EEP!🤩
NPH is a national gem, and you called him Michael Cera?!?!?
Since I'm sure that there are other memes out there that ruined people's lives, hope for an eventual part 2 please
Boy, Michael Cera sure looked a lot like Neil Patrick Harris in that clip. I wonder how no one at WatchMojo noticed the resemblance. ;)
If it's any consolation Star Wars broom kid was used in Arrested Development.
Even memes can really destroys people's reputation just because out of context
Feeling bad for these people
Especially Gyslain
Not harambe woman though
That's why I never make memes, because I don't want to unintentionally ruin someone's life.
I always felt bad for the Star Wars guy
Techno Viking was my DUDE!!!!!! I loved that clip!!!
Why did he want the video clip taken down?
@@donnabittner69 💰
How do you feel now that you know he was a bad sport about it?
@@BlackHatCinephile Filmmer was making bank off his image (not just the video)..
Guy was making merch with Techno Viking all over it, and didn't give him a dime/ let him now!
Come on, seriously?.."Bad sport"? 🙄
@@profoundwanderer1441 That's the filmer's money. Meanwhile, filmer made Viking famous. Viking could have easily cashed in on that.
I had no idea that HIMYM was spoofing a real thing. The possimple episode is one of my favourites
Barney Stinson!!! Barney Stinson!!! That guys awesome!!! Yeah, he's awesome!!!
First of all “Star Wars kid” is a legend and I’d totally kick it with the dude.
I like how the Asian Kids get censored.
The man whos responsible for That was like:
„Fuck it, their eyes Look anyways the Same so lets Just censor their Mouth“ 🤷♂️
I was looking at that too and wondering "why not the entire face if you're gonna censor it???". They might as well had put masks on the kids instead of blurring out their mouths...
I didn't know abt Harambe, like people actually protested abt his death. & what abt the child?? what if something have had happened to him.
his mom should have paid attention to him Harambe didn’t had to die because of that it’s not like he went to the kid’s territory Harambe is the only victim in this
@@Daniel-jz9oi this 🙌🏼
@@Daniel-jz9oi What if the child was yours? Then will u say the same??
What if ur child died then will u be the same??
@@ankugreat5373 and you think killing an endangered species is right over the stupidity of his mother? They were in the zoo she had 1 job look after her child She didn’t and an endangered animal had to pay when he literally didn’t do anything other than stay in it’s territory
@@ankugreat5373 it wouldn’t be my child because I wouldn’t be dumb enough to let my kid out of sight in a place like that
😂 “I keep a tight watch on my kids” 😂 a dead gorilla and a terrible mom say otherwise 😂
Memes don’t ruin people’s lives. But rather instead let the world know they exist.
Idea: Games that had glitches pop up during showcases.
Big stages, lots of cameras, game on the big screen and... What the heck is going on with the ragdoll physics?
I feel bad for Alex From Target. If I were lucky enough to have instant fame like that, I’d use it to help my struggling acting career.
I love these types of videos or where they are now
Wait, did he call Neil Patrick Harris Michael Cera? 😂
Does it really need to be said, that these are real people, who don't deserve this kind of notoriety? Good for (S.B.) Steve who capitalized on it, but most of the content online doesn't come from celebrities with money to counter bad publicity. It's scary that people are publishing personal information and locations of ordinary people. No one should have to move to get away from online nuts!
Michael Cera? You mean Neal Patrick Harris?
i thought the same thing at first but he did say "Michael Cera *and* How i met your mother" then only showed NPH not the video Cera did
I honestly don't know half of these memes. I'm going back to drinking.
That’s not Michael Cera
Why was that Napoleon Dynamite looking kid from Target receiving death threats?? Some people are weird and dam right horrible ☹
Fame has it price. Always have a backup plan. If I ever become a meme I will capitalize on it
You can make a buck for a very short time not really worth it.
5:12 - That's not Michael Cera. That's Neil Patrick Harris lol.
Lol my brother's neighbor tried to hide dog poop behind a telephone pole when she didn't think people were looking. She turned around and we locked eyes. The look of horror on her face 😆 she picked up the poop
I always thought Star Wars Kid just looked like he was having a really good time.
Good vid as usual and I remember a lot of these. Though I do gotta ask, when are you going to start crediting the creators you take these lists from. This is word for word a script from another top ten video that wasn't out last week by a smaller channel.
Oh wow really? Which one? Now I'm curious
I never would understand how any of these are worth threatening people
"How DREARY to be somebody
How public like a frog
To tell your name the lifelong day
To an admiring bog!" -Emily Dickinson
“He passed away from a heart attack” …NEXT MEME lmao
Nearly every man has at one point picked up a stick or broom and proceeded the perform the most megestic darth maul impression ever to grace this earth. How people can give someone shit for that is beyond me... we just want to be as good as Ray Park
The real Scumbag Steve person actually matched exactly the type of person I figured him to be based on the picture. Stereotypes are real people. It's just the facts.
That's Neil Patrick Harris from HIMYM, not Michael Cera
So why was "Alex from Target" popular? Never heard of it
7:50 - ‘At some point, we’ve all re-enacted our favourite film scenes’ - My favourite film is The Human Centipede.
It's 2023, who doesn't eat ass these days.
The SW kid & the videos were EPIC...
One of the best /cringe awesome videos of all time...
Starwars kid also made a cameo in a tonyhawk game which is pretty awesome 👏 I hope he got royalties
Moral of the video: If your life is captured without you knowing and goes viral, prepare for all the know-it-alls to tell you how to live your life.
So we just gonna act like he didn’t say Neil Patrick Harris was Michael Cera💀
THANK YOU! literally came here JUST to comment that lol
That's not Michael Cera, that's Neil Patrick Harris.
I do feel sorry for everyone that suffered from the exposure.
Thats not Michael Cera, thats Niel Patrick Harris!
Yes, and they very clearly say "both Michael Cera AND NPH".....
Is the woman stamping grapes at the fair that fell out in this one? The "Ow ow ow" will forever live in memory and meme.
6:30 Woah it’s fine, Liam Neeson is probably trolling him😂
I love the star wars kid video. It's sad that things went like that. I feel really sorry for him
I am very proud that I’ve only seen one of these. People are so stupid. Why would you threaten someone for just working at Target? And why do we make someone famous for absolutely nothing?
my takeaway from this video is that some people are terrible human beings. Why are you threatening to kill someone who did nothing? Alex from target, why?!? Star wars kid... Why??!! Some people are nuts
You did not just call Neil Patrick Harris Michael Cera! 🤦♂️🤯☠️
Nikacado Avocado should've been on this list. 😂😂😂
Technically he ruined his own life with his constant mukbangs and blaming others for ruining his life.
@@stitchlover4381 True... true...
Hmm that guy has serious issues
Crazy how they can say that firing a tranq dart at Harambe was too risky, but firing a bullet wasn't. I hate when animals are killed for the moronic failings of humans.
Nothing says legitimate trauma like suing for the shame of your video putting yourself in the public eye and then agreeing to star yourself in a documentary
To the people who made these people infamous; I hope you're satisfied.😡
If you haven't followed the Shia Labeouf story on Internet Historian... I can tell you they are very satisfied. Probably many of them stroked out a nut knowing it had as much impact as it did. Most of them are bored programmers and general office people who are so separated from general problems in society that they are incapable of feeling empathy.
They’re just so sad with their own lives, they need to project it onto others. They want people to be as miserable as they are.
I'm pretty sure Star wars kid was going to turn out just fine, until people started making fun of him.hahaha
I never knew scumbag Steve capped off his misfortune like that with the song, gotta respect that shit
Michael Cera is a lot more chadly than I remember. Apparently he also played Barney Stinson 🤪
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! I remember that Harambe meme back then. Rest in peace, Harambe. 🙏
"Oh, hey, this person became famous on the internet for whatever reason. Time to flood their social media with death threats and insults, harass them for months and ruin their lives."
...People f***ing suck.
we need another top 10 memes that ruined lives. there is a lot of people whose lives memes ruined
Michael Cera? Lmao dude that’s Neil Patrick Harris 😂😂😂
He called NPH Michael Cera! 😂😂😂
Did he just say Michael Cera 😂
How is no one talking about how they called NPH Micheal Cera 😂😂
You should mention Drachenlord, a german youtuber, in this list too. His case is a great example of bullying because of presenting himself on the internet. And the bullying got crazy!
I am upset miller got hit with abuse. I love captain cold hes such a good actor.
They gayed him and killed him and it ruined the show.
@@BlackHatCinephile Well, Wentworth Miller is actually gay, so there's that
@@DaveL2033 Well, that sucks. (a little pun, there)😁
The star wars guy was so funny hahaha
Hahaahahahahaha
"I heard you pull your pants all the way down to go pee" will always be funny. I had a buddy in school that would do that. You'd walk in and there'd be his bare ass just pissing.
I LOVE the Star Wars kid. He embodies our inner child and our imaginations!! How could people turn that into something cruel and mocking? That says more about them than the sweet, innocent Star Wars kid!! ❤❤❤❤❤ forever SWK
Isn't making this Watch Mojo actually adding more fuel to the fire of ruining these people's lives even more?
yeah let's make a video about these people and remind them how they got their life ruined.
and possibly introduce more people to the meme and remind those who saw it years before and forgot about it.
One of my skater bros had a video go viral of him commenting on a broken scooter,and when he said "next minute" he used a local slang ",Nek minnit" and it actually became part of New Zealands lexicon. However now when my bro skates or goes anywhere,kids yell "Nek minnit" over and over,it literally hunts him
Star wars kid is the only one of these I've actually heard of.
Internry used to be simpler back then, but also dangerous.
