About
“Nice Meme” is an ironic expression often used as a dismissive response to poorly received content posted in circle jerk communities online in a similar vein to the phrases“dank memes” and “well meme’d”.

The exact origin of the ironic usage of the phrase “nice meme” is unknown. On February 9th, 2013, the earliest archived instance on 4chan was posted to a thread in the /mu/ (music) board (shown below).[2]

On February 4th, YouTuber Reddit Circlejerk uploaded a video titled “Nice Meme,” featuring an animated illustration of Barack Obama singing the phrase (shown below, left).

The Facebook photo was subsequently flooded with users commenting “nice meme,” gathering upwards of 2,500 comments in the next six months.

Colbert is so useless.

Colbert is so useless.

What's wrong with Colbert?

What's wrong with Colbert?

watch the interview
you get the richest youtuber on your show to ask him some swedish curse words?
I understand it's supposed to be funny, friendly banter or something but this is literally the most useless thing I can think of on the TV. Colbert is an unfunny idiot and when the script doesn't tell him how to make fun of politics, he's lost.

He's a good actor but a bad comedian.

Why would you even watch an interview with a guy who does nothing but play games and make funny faces for a living?

Because Makabb want to prove how much he hates him and think he's unfunny by showering him with attention and following each and every piece of content he makes.

Back when I was a kid people asked why would you ever want to stay inside and play video games.

Pewdiepie reached 45 million subs, welp.

Ive seen some videos of his and can see the appeal. They are actually edited in a funny way and can be entertaining. Good on him, he found a way to make $$ and profit from a video streaming website so why the hell not.

Kjellberg admits that he enjoys living in Brighton, as he is able to live in general anonymity, adding that one of the reasons he has not moved to Los Angeles is, "Anytime I'm there, people are constantly patting you on the back, telling you how great you are. It fucks with your brain. I started YouTube because I was bored, not to become famous."[24] In June 2016, Kjellberg announced he had been evicted after a neighbour confronted him for being too loud.[154]

In a Rolling Stone article, PewDiePie admitted to being shocked by his fame; PewDiePie recalled a gaming event near his hometown, stating "I remember there were five security guards yelling at a crowd to back up — it was out of control. It was shocking to find myself in that situation, where I was that celebrity person."[12] At the 2013 Social Star Awards, PewDiePie greeted his fans personally despite security warning him against doing so.[1][80] PewDiePie also mentioned this event to Rolling Stone, stating, "I didn't even understand they were screaming for me at first."[12]

Although games being featured on PewDiePie's channel have reportedly contributed to their commercial success, he has stated, "I just want to play the games, not influence sales."[86]

On the topic of his earnings, PewDiePie stated that he is "extremely tired of talking about how much I make. In the very few interviews I've made, it doesn't matter how long we've talked to each other, the headline is still just about my paycheck."[100] After extensive media coverage of his earnings, Kjellberg posted a video, expressing his frustration at the extensive media coverage over his income. In the video he claimed, "We did raise a million dollars for charity, and very few articles picked up on that, but here it is everywhere how much money I make," adding, "It seems like the whole world cares more about how much money I make than I do myself."[101] Relating to his source of his income, PewDiePie stated: "I think that's what's cool about YouTube: That anyone could technically do it, right? Surely if I didn't exist, there would be someone to fill my place."[102]
-
Additionally, PewDiePie posted on Reddit, "I make more than I need from YouTube," adding, "with that freedom, but also to respect my fans for making that possible, I don't end up doing many endorsements."[112] On this topic, PewDiePie has claimed that it is disappointing when a large chunk of people misinterpret a component of his character; he states, "if I mention on Twitter that I find this or that Kickstarter project cool, people immediately start to ask what economical interests I might have in it. Things like that can bring me down. But it's not personal; some people just prefer to believe the worst about others at any given time."[13]
-
PewDiePie's channel is under Polaris, a gaming network, part of Maker Studios, a multi-channel network that drives the growth of the channels under it.[19][113][114][115] Despite being signed under a network, PewDiePie refuses to hire an editor to help him with his video output, stating "I want YouTube to be YouTube."[55]

Could've been a much more obnoxious person in his position.
