Not "Viral" by any stretch, but one of my MLB '10 videos (which was also a demonstration of Sounds of The Show) pulled in 27k views for some reason. I still don't know why. Comparatively speaking my next most viewed video is 4k.

I don't post enough on social media to have anything go viral.

I had a few Reddit posts made the front page of the subreddit it was in, and I figured it was roughly 30K views based on the IMGUR pictures.

And last night I had a tweet get over 11K RTs and viewed well over a million times and counting

Plus dogs go viral just about every day so you got that going as well.

Re: Ever Gone Viral?

A member on here posted a video of his maybe two year-old son crying when he broke the news that Michael Young was going to be traded from Texas. Not much later, it became viral enough where Young caught wind of it and visited his family, debunking the rumors and making the kid a fan for life.

I'll have to sit and think if I got anything popular enough that, say, it came back to me. I've begun to concoct something that I think could become wildly popular on YT, or it could just fall in the camp with other fanmade items that never see the light of day. At least I can assure that no one else has done it yet.

EDIT: Here is the thread. Turns out it was his nephew, and he was 3 years old. Video isn't up anymore though. Still awesome.

Not exactly viral, but I've had tweets in the past make it on TV on a popular major network show. Like twitter handle and everything appearing on screen too. Hosts of the show basically made fun of it, and created a new rule(only twitter handles that have actual names in it are allowed) for their show because of me lol.

I also once created a FAQ on gamefaqs, got huge amount of hits on it cause I was really the only one bothering to do one for the game. Eventually lead to me being the "go to person" on the internet to do player edits and caps and stuff for people, which indirectly lead to me ending up on this site.

Re: Ever Gone Viral?

I was gonna make a "I've never gone viral but I have gotten crabs" joke post, but I couldn't word it in a clever enough way. Can we pretend I did? Just imagine this post was a hilarious joke

Re: Ever Gone Viral?

I had a tweet that was retweeted by College Gameday, and ended up with 75 RTs and about 300 favorites (before likes). 30 or so people followed me and about 10 still do.

Pfft, yeah right. My most successful social media post was a YouTube video I uploaded 2 years ago documenting a pit stop animation bug in NASCAR '14 that got 2,850 views.

Best tweet I had was during an internship at college. It was to wish Bobby a Happy 68th birthday. Got 129 Retweets 95 favorites. And over 20K views due to a retweet from Matt Beleskey.

Put up a YouTube video of the Xavier/Cincinnati basketball fight from a few years ago and got roughly 30k views that day but that's about it.

I had a tweet stolen by SB Nation and some basketball blogger that went viral. My 200+ RT's were nothing compared to the traffic the tweet saw on their end.

I hate when that happens. There was a Philly sports account that had a picture stolen and used in the same fashion and from that point on he just watermarked and Photoshops he did

The picture I took of Finn Balor's NXT debut went viral. I got like 500 RT's, but the sites that stole it got thousands and thousands LOL.

I had a picture with Paul Heyman that broke my phone from so many RT's and Fav's. Ended up around 5,000 RT's I believe.

And I broke NBA 2K17's cover which was picked up by just about every sports gaming site and NBA site known to man. That was a crazy week as I was actually trending for about 15 mins LOL

Re: Ever Gone Viral?

Only thing close for me was a couple months ago. During an Indians game Jason Kipnis and the ketchup hot dog mascot thing collided in between innings and the ketchup dude went flying and crashed to the ground. Long story short, I was at an Indians game a few years ago and the ketchup hot dog mascot hit me while I was walking down the steps to my seat and almost knocked me over so I tweeted to Jason Kipnis thanking him for taking ketchup out and saying he avenged me and Kipnis retweeted it and it got a **** ton of retweets and likes.

My phone was blowing up with RT's and likes for two days. It was definitely in the hundreds.
