Wins, Fails & WTFs: Hot Geeks & Hotter Memes – Rewindo Ep. 5

Wins, Fails & WTFs: Hot Geeks & Hotter Memes – Rewindo Ep. 5

It’s a new year, so let’s take a renewed, 2017 perspective on some WatchMojo classics! And by classic, we mean published one long month ago.

Welcome to Watchmojo Rewindo, the show where we highlight the ups and downs, the flubs and the funnies of videos you may have missed from across our network of channels. You’ll find the links to said international channels in the description below, as well as links to the videos used in this video. Come on, I know you’re still feeling the holiday greed! Click ‘em all! Watch all those videos!

#7: Just Leave Meme Alone!

Top 10 Memes of 2016
Apparently the Internet thinks we are total normies. First, there was JIF-Gate, in which we made the apparently incredibly awful mistake of calling a gif a jif. Because, you know, nobody’s ever made that made-up-meme credibility error before. Then, like a bunch of daddy long-legs exploding all over a tree like you’ll see later, the “your list is wrong” comments flowed in. Apparently “We Are Number One” should have been number one, and if you lived in a world where the comments section was gospel, then the Arthur Fist never even happened. Sorry, the Author’s Fist.

#6: FBook-it, We’ll do it live!

WatchMojo LIVE on Facebook!
Did you know that WatchMojo is actually a company that employs real people who have real opinions on things? Have you ever wanted to go face-to-face with the person who potentially made the call to boot the Intervention Sniper Rifle off of our Top 10 Video Game Sniper Rifles list? Or perhaps you just wanna know what the Mojo watches in their spare time, yo! If that sounds like you, then head over to our Facebook page every Thursday as we broadcast our live show “Whatcha Watchin’?” Our host - me - talks to various staffers about the TV shows, movies or video games they currently have a crush on. Also, try to spot our weirdest employee, Mojo Horseman.

#5: The Tastiest Linnamon Role

Top 5 Surprising Facts About Lin-Manuel Miranda: Creator of Hamilton
Be honest now: before 2015, did you know who Lin-Manuel Miranda was? Only true broadway-heads would have known about the creator of Hamilton pre-2015. But, judging from the comments section, this dude is like the Bieber of Broadway. Well, strictly looking at the fangirl hysteria levels, at least. There’s always a ton of people saying they knew these facts already, but all that Joey Ouyang got from this video was “bruh there’s a ms mojo really”. Come on J-Yang, we expect better from you.

#4: What About the Campers?!

Top 10 des GAMERS les plus RELOUS du jeu vidéo!
Gaming is fun. Gaming is great. But sometimes, these dudes are dicks and fill you with HATE! WatchMojo Français’ version of the top 10 dick moves by gamers was a hit just like our English version, but - surprise - commenters were not happy with the massive oversight of leaving out the dudes who shoot using a sight: campers! Campers and their stupid Call of Duty Intervention camping snipe shows! Err, I’m sorry. Just can’t stand those guys. Head on over to WatchMojo Français and let Laetitia guide you through the worst behaviors you love to hate in gaming. HEADSHOT!

#3: Don’t Mess with RuPauler Ballers

Top 10 RuPaul's Drag Race Lip Syncs
I just made up RuPauler’s Ballers, and I doubt it’s the official name of the RuPaul’s Drag Race fandom, but we’re going to stick with it. Another Mojo video - again of the MsMojo persuasion, and yet another “controversy.” Who knew that the Lip Syncing segment of RuPaul’s Drag Race could cause such commotion and pandemonium in the comments section? “HELLO WHERE IS ALYSSA VS TATIANA” said xxxSilver Extremexxx, to which we reply “HELLO IT IS EXCLUDED VIA CRITERIA.” Silver Extreme wasn’t the only one who was pissed about the exclusion of Alyssa vs Tatianna, which is apparently the second coming of the clash of the titans. But, according to our lovely ladies at MsMojo, we excluded all lip syncing from the All-Stars version of the show. So, let’s all relax, Ballers.

#2: Geeks Are Hot

Top 10 des personnages GEEKS qui sont CANONS dans la vraie vie!
Hey, hey, hey, WatchMojo Français! These guys know how to hit a home run with the best of ‘em, and they really nailed it with the Top 10 People Who Portray Geeks But Are Hotties in Real Life. Example: people like Ariel Winter who plays a toned-down, geekier version of herself in Modern Family. While the video slayed in the views column, some were none-too-happy slash confused by the video. Commenters claimed that WatchMojo Franco’s hidden diabolical agenda was to connect the dots linking geekiness and ugliness. Harsh! They’d never! I mean, this whole office is filled with geeks! Look at all these beautiful geeks!

#1: BOO!

Top 10 Scariest YouTube Videos
The creme de la creep of all YouTube videos put together in a neat little package for you to enjoy. Or at least try to enjoy. Some WatchMojo staffers couldn’t even finish watching the entirety of this video, while some people commented that they only made it 30 seconds in before having to turn it off. But the internet loves some creepy crap, as this one hit 1 million views in just 4 days! I think it’s time we start a WatchMojo channel where the guys, girls, or whatever they are from Hand Thing host every single video alongside the thing from I Feel Fantastic. Would you like that, fear fetishizers?
