About

Brooke Allison Brodack is a American video blogger, who was the most subscribed user on YouTube between July 3-August 17, 2006. After signing a contract with Carson Daly for ’It’s Your Show’ TV project in NBC, her YouTube popularity was fallen by becoming passive to making new videos, therefore her spot on most subscribed users on YouTube list had fallen dramatically.

She had a feud with owner of Filmcow, and worked for Ozzy Osbourne by promoting one of his auction projects.

Online Presence

Brodack began posting her short comedic videos on her “Brookers” YouTube channel in September 2005. Her single-most popular video, Crazed Numa Fan!!!!, a lip-sync parody of an earlier Internet meme, Numa Numa by Gary Brolsma, has been viewed on YouTube over 8.4 million times as of June 2016. Her younger sister, Melissa “Missy” Brodack, performs alongside her in many videos, including “Crazed Numa Fan!!!!”

Her video Chips, a spoof suspense drama about eating potato chips, has been called “brilliant” by Entertainment Weekly, which has listed it among the “great moments in YouTube history.”

From August 2006 to April 2007, she played a large role on a Daly-hosted, NBC-sponsored video contest website, It’s Your Show TV posting many videos there. She appeared on The Tyra Banks Show (December 6, 2006), as a judge for a student video competition. In February 2007, she performed in The Sound of Your Voice,, a viral music video for Barenaked Ladies, with fellow YouTubers.

In addition to her “Brookers” YouTube channel, Brodack in January 2006 established a second channel, “QuietRiot,” and she began posting videos there regularly in the summer of 2007. Collectively, they have received about 2,000,000 views. Since early 2006, she also has given improvised, audience-interactive comic performances on live webcam video, hosted by such services as Stickam, Ustream, and BlogTV, where in Summer 2008. Many of these performances have been recorded by fans, who have released them or sections of them as viral videos.

Brookers has experimented with non-comic videos, such as The Falling, and she has collaborated with other talents, including the New York-based comedy troupe The Tenderloins, the Los Angeles-based comedy troupe Studio 8 Comedy, LLC, viral video creator Caitlin Hill (TheHill88), and the lifecasters Justine “iJustine” Ezarik and Sarah Austin of Pop17.

Brooke also appears in a number of WestHavenBrook video series alongside John Soares, including the Vacuum Consortium series, where she plays Agamemnon Tiberius Vacuum’s nemesis, “The Brodack”, and Go Sukashi!, produced by Douglas TenNapel in association with Watanabe Entertainment and Dentsu, where she plays Sukashi’s girlfriend Bethany.

Personal life

Brodack was born in April 7, 1986 on Putnam, Connecticut. Graduating from Wachusett Regional High School, she then attended college at Worcester State College, Quinsigamond Community College and Mount Wachusett Community College, ultimately dropping out of all three in Massachusetts. Brodack worked from 2003 to 2006 as a receptionist and hostess at the 99 Restaurant, and she volunteered (2003–05) for the NEADS program (Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans) in Sterling, Massachusetts.

Since mid 2013, she lives in Vadodara, India where also worked for video making courses.

About

#AskTheGays is a satirical hashtag launched by members and advocates of the LGBT community on Twitter in response to a gaffe uttered by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump while discussing the Orlando nightclub shooting at a campaign rally in mid-June 2016.

Origin

On June 15th, 2016, Trump delivered a speech at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia, during which he criticized the treatment of women and homosexuals overseas, particularly in Muslim countries in the Middle East, by telling the audience to “ask the people of Saudi Arabia what they think of women” and to “ask the gays” about homophobic attitudes in other countries.



“And for the women out there, ask the people of Saudi Arabia what they think of women. For the gays out there… ask the gays and ask the people, ask the gays what they think and what they do in, not only in Saudi Arabia, in many of these countries with the gay community, just ask, and then you tell me who is your friend: Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?”

That afternoon, Twitter user @gaywonk[2] posted a mock dialogue between Trump and “The Gays” followed by a reaction GIF of actress Whoopi Goldberg in the 1990 romantic thriller film Ghost (shown below). Within 24 hours, the tweet received more than 450 likes and 300 retweets.




Spread

Shortly after, Twitter user @ethanharv[1] posted a reaction GIF featuring a scene from the 1995 comedy film Clueless as a response to Trump saying “ask the gays,” gaining over 700 likes and 500 retweets that day.

Meanwhile, Trump supporters began posting criticisms of LGBT treatment in Middle Eastern and Muslim countries along with the #AskTheGays[4] hashtag (shown below).

About

“I Dropped My Hot Pocket” is a memorable quote said by Merrendes Jackson, a resident of Blytheville, Arkansas, during an interview for a local news report about a fatal shooting in a residential neighborhood that aired in May 2016. In describing how he reacted to the sound of the first gunshots, Jackson stated that they startled him so much that he accidentally dropped his microwavable turnover on the ground. Due to its comical out-of-placeness, the quote has been sampled in dozens of short remix videos on Vine.

On the next day, YouTuber Susan Shanneil White uploaded a phone-recorded video clip of the newscast to her channel[12], where it gained over 444,800 views within the first month.



Robert Moss: I just kept hearing it. I am ducking and everything – diving in the house. I mean, I got scared.

Merrendes Jackson: I dropped my Hot Pocket. Like – like, I heard them, it was like they were firing back and forth at each – I was like, man what do they sound like firecrackers.

About

Cheeto Jesus is a pejorative nickname given to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump by Republican political strategist Rick Wilson in a rant he posted on Twitter in mid-June 2016. Shortly after Wilson’s tweet, the nickname, which likens Trump’s orange-tanned skin tone to Frito-Lay’s cheese-flavored snack, spawned a series of Cheetos-themed photoshopped parodies on Twitter.

Origin

On June 15th, 2016, Rick Wilson tweeted a ten-part rant[1] condemning the Republican Party’s endorsement of Trump as the presumptive candidate in the upcoming United States presidential election. In the tweets, Wilson likened the rise of Trump as a conservative leader to getting a “No Ragrets” tattoo that had gone viral online, while referring to Trump as “Cheeto Jesus” in criticizing his controversial response to the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting. Within 48 hours, the Cheeto Jesus tweet accumulated more than 3,500 likes and 2,200 retweets.



“How the actual fuck does anyone at the RNC have standing to act shocked that Trump is not doing the basics of campaigning? You can’t elide over his utter dipshittery. No matter how much you try to act surprised, you own this. You’re covered in his stench. History will be so cruel to you. Your off the record sniping and grumbling is no substitute for moral courage. That’s so DC. You won’t escape the stain. It’s like a big, visible “No Ragrets” chest tat that will mark your careers forever. Go public. Man up. Show courage. Say what’s in your hearts; he’s insane. He’s poison. He’s doomed. He’s killing the Party. None of you are good enough to spin the unspinnable ratfuck that is Trump. None of you can say, “I was just following orders.” This weekend, people were lined up hundreds deep to give blood to the victims of Orlando. Your Cheeto Jesus was praising himself. There is no better Trump. There is not Presidential Trump. He is a vile stain on the this Republic. Your resumes will always read “Worked for a batshit crazy crypto-fascist who destroyed the GOP

Wilson’s Criticism of Trump

Months before his Twitter rant in June, Wilson had previously made the headlines in January after ridiculing Donald Trump’s alt-right supporters as “childless single men who masturbate to anime” during an on-air appearance on MSNBC.

Precursors

In July 2008, CBS broadcast a news segment on a Cheetos snack which resembled the shape of a crucifix (shown below).

About

“You Hear About Video Games?” is a series of parodies based on a cartoon strip from the popular webcomic series Ctrl+Alt+Del in which Ethan, the protagonist character and the owner of the video game store GameHaven, pretentiously lectures a customer on the negative consequences of unconfirmed rumors about video games in development. The photoshopped parodies, which typically begin with a customer trying to strike up a conversation about video games with Ethan and ends with him holding up his arms out of frustration, can be seen as a mockery of the protagonist’s obsession with video games.

Origin

The original comic, titled Misinformationalized, was posted on the Ctrl+Alt+Del website on November 19th, 2010. While the source of the earliest known edit remains unknown, it has been speculated that the parody phenomenon began on 4chan. On January 16th, 2012, the earliest archived post featuring the two-panel edition of the original cartoon strip was posted on the British forum Overclockers.[2]

Origin

Kekcroc is an obscure video game released in 1993 for the Sega Genesis. Little is known about the game as there appears to be nothing about it online except for the box art itself. The game has been described as low effort and unlicensed, and generally appearing the the clearance sections of various local discount stores throughout the 1990s. The game is also rumored to have been ported from Genesis to MS DOS, NES, and Gameboy. Various screenshots have also been posted but have not been confirmed as real, as well as box art and pictures of floppy disks for the apparent DOS version from 1994. The box art features the world “KEKCROC” in 3D Text along with a very crude 3D Model of the titular character surrounded by phrases such as “Rock around the Croc!” and “A fun family experience!”.




Spread

In June of 2016, the box art was posted to 4chan’s /v/ board and later spread to [s4s] due to “kek” being included in the name. The box art was rumored to have been found on old archives of a local game store’s website although this origin is also unknown. The image is generally used as a reaction image and is most popular on 4chan’s s4s board, again due to it’s name and crude box art.


Gameplay and Investigation

Although there are no videos of gameplay, descriptions of the game from anons from /v/ who claimed to have played include crude animations, jerky controls and movements, a terrible password system in the DOS port, the ability to collect “crocodollars”, and a location called “Toasty’s Castle” in level 5. Kekcroc himself is depicted as a generic crocodile wearing a yellow straw hat, and the game’s default weapon has been said to be a toilet plunger. An anon who claimed to work at a video game store during the 1990s posted images of a document asking for more information on the game after seeing it’s box and questioning it’s quality dated April 1993, which indicates that it was even obscure in its own time.
The last and most important proof of the game’s existence is a short sound clip from the game featuring very good voice sampling for a genesis game. The sound clip is of the titular character Kekcroc saying “Hi, I’m Kekcroc”.
