00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're looking at the things we couldn't take our eyes off.
00:15There's nothing like an epic or embarrassing moment that's caught on camera because then
00:19we get to watch it again and again and again.
00:22These are the top 10 twitch moments that broke the internet.
00:26If you're thinking to yourself, oh this moment should have been included, I probably chickened
00:29out talking about it.
00:31You know which one.
00:33You know which bridge in PUBG.
00:34I'm not touching that one with a 10 foot PewDiePole, I hate myself.
00:40Twitch Plays Pokemon.
00:41Twitch Plays Pokemon.
00:44In 2014, an anonymous Australian developer launched a groundbreaking gaming social experiment
00:54called Twitch Plays Pokemon.
00:56In this stream, a particular coded version of Pokemon Red allowed viewers of the stream
01:01to input commands in the chat to play the game, and with an average viewership of 80,000,
01:06it was an absolute shock what happened.
01:08When the collective effort of viewers finally completed the game, it became a global phenomenon,
01:13shattering expectations and captivating audiences worldwide.
01:17The moment the game was beaten was viewed live by hundreds of thousands, and the effort
01:22went on to win Guinness World Records and various other awards.
01:25Turns out, we can collectively join to do something great, when we bloody try.
01:41Blow up Tuesday, Washington Post.
01:56There was a good amount of eyes on the entire data sharing scandal that was brought to Congress,
02:00as Mark Zuckerberg would have to answer some hard questions and face some realities on
02:05the way Facebook functions moving forward.
02:07Unfortunately, what came instead was a comical display of Congress being out of touch and
02:12unfit to manage this particular trial.
02:15One of the many humorous moments from this congressional hearing on the data sharing
02:18scandal occurred when one false equivalence of many was thrown at Zuck, and the Twitch
02:23clip of this moment has since become one of the top 10 most viewed of all time.
02:28The remark not only made Zuckerberg chuckle, but also drew laughter from the room, giving
02:33sympathy to the person on trial, and actually turning what seemed to be a real genuine issue
02:38into a bit of a circus.
02:39Are you comfortable sharing with us the name of the hotel you stayed in last night?
02:43Um…
02:47Uh…
02:48No.
02:51Checking if Dad's okay, Jurassic Junkie Live.
02:57We've all played horror games right?
02:58When they are perfectly immersive and the lights are turned down, it can be a terrifying
03:03experience that causes even the smallest of noises to make us jump out of our pants.
03:08This particular clip, and particular moment from Jurassic Junkie Live's stream, has
03:11been viewed countless times, and become one of the most heartwarming moments to be caught
03:16on Twitch.
03:17During a horror game, Jurassic Junkie gets hit with the one-two of being scared in the
03:20game, and then catching something IRL in the corner of his eye that he didn't expect
03:25to be there, causing him to get scared again, and scream.
03:28Unfortunately, the thing he spotted was his own daughter, who he seemingly scared with
03:33his scream.
03:34His reaction, as well as his immediate act of checking in to make sure she was okay,
03:38was the perfect balance of hilarious and heartwarming.
03:41Sometimes the internet can actually be really lovely.
03:44Come on lady!
03:48Are you okay?
03:52Snoop leaves stream on Doggy Doggy 20.
03:58Nothing is more interesting to viewers than when a celebrity starts a Twitch channel.
04:01It has the potential to either be an amazing look into a person, unedited and uninterrupted
04:06as Twitch often is, or to be an absolute train wreck.
04:09Weirdly, Snoop Dogg's introduction to Twitch was both.
04:12In a moment that has since been viewed millions of times, Snoop Dogg left his stream on for
04:17eight hours accidentally, and although the final moments of him finally walking into
04:21the room to turn his stream off are pretty anticlimactic, it is undoubtedly very funny.
04:26Snoop Dogg is obviously the GOAT, but let's also remember he's a 53 year old man, so let's
04:30cut him some slack, and let's also keep watching this clip.
04:41Mr Beast donates $30,000, Space Lion.
04:44I love your stream, keep it up dad.
04:59It's always a heartwarming moment when Twitch streamers receive massive donations from their
05:04viewers.
05:05Even though some might turn out to be fake, or fail to process through PayPal, the genuine
05:09reactions from the streamer, and the excitement in the chat are truly wholesome to witness.
05:13This particular instance with Space Lion was, however, not fake, as the person donating
05:18was Mr Beast.
05:19The clipped moment, as well as Mr Beast's video about it, have been viewed 32 million
05:24times, and the simple fact that Mr Beast was donating because he thought Space Lion was
05:28just a really nice person, makes the whole thing even sweeter.
05:31Lit, I could use a good carry.
05:34Oh my god, are you serious?
05:43What the f***?
05:46Do you guys see that f***ing, do you guys see that stupid amount?
05:50Drake visits Twitch Ninja.
05:58Twitch set a new record for the most viewed stream by a single player, when Ninja teamed
06:03up with an unexpected supergroup to play the hugely popular sandbox shooter, Fortnite.
06:08You've probably never heard of it.
06:09Ninja started with a few matches alongside Drake, before the full squad came together
06:14for some team action.
06:15At its peak, the stream trended on Twitter and drew an astonishing 628,000 concurrent
06:21viewers, shattering the previous record of 388,000 for a single player stream.
06:26That's almost double, but I guess that was just God's plan.
06:30Nailed it!
06:47The Awakening Jesse D streams.
06:53You may not recognise this moment just from the name The Awakening, but you've definitely
06:58seen the clip.
06:59The moment came from Jesse D's stream's livestream, where he would stream IRL chat to a very small
07:04viewership of 5-10.
07:06During his stream, he fell asleep, and this moment titled The Awakening sees him waking
07:11up, realising he fell asleep, realising he's streaming, and realising his viewership has
07:16gone from 5 to a few hundred, all within about 5 seconds.
07:20This cocktail of emotion is heartwarming and funny, and put a smile on the millions of
07:25viewers' faces who viewed this moment after the fact.
07:29It's a miracle, ZillionOP.
07:46Up until this point, all of our entries have been light-hearted, funny, or just heartwarming,
07:50but we were bound to have one internet moment that was viewed negatively, and I'm not talking
07:55about The Bridge.
07:56This moment comes from ZillionOP's stream, a disabled streamer who had been in a car
08:00accident and began streaming to raise money for his treatment.
08:04The problem here is that in one particular stream, he failed to turn his webcam off when
08:09he stood up and walked off stream.
08:11It's a miracle!
08:12No, actually, it wasn't a miracle.
08:14It was a simple scam.
08:16Which I guess some miracles end up being.
08:18His defence for standing and walking was explained in the moment as standing and falling, but
08:23this didn't fly with the community who could easily see his reflection in the fish tank
08:27behind him.
08:28He wasn't disabled, and neither was his webcam.
08:31That joke might seem tasteless, but this guy faked being in a wheelchair, so f**k him.
08:48Donkey Kong charity stream, HBomb.
08:54I did that on purpose.
08:57HBomberguy's Donkey Kong 64 trans charity marathon stream, also known as Thanks Graham
09:02charity stream, was a live stream hosted by YouTuber HBomberguy to support Mermaids, a
09:07UK-based charity dedicated to helping transgender youth and their families.
09:10The reason this stream broke the internet was because it simply broke every record,
09:15so much so that it was recognised by the government.
09:17Over the course of 57 hours, HBomberguy achieved a 101% completion run of Donkey Kong 64, while
09:23raising over $340,000 for the cause.
09:27Sometimes, good people can do some really good things, and I'm very happy to be ending
09:31on two back-to-back positive notes.
09:33It's truly breathtaking.
09:35They're introducing the sixth Kong for the next round.
09:38Congratulations!

10:03Breathtaking Xbox.
10:08What can we say about this moment that hasn't already been said?
10:22It's truly breathtaking.
10:24During Xbox's conference at the 2019 E3 event, the reveal for Cyberpunk 2077 showed
10:30Keanu Reeves as the lead actor in the game.
10:32And then, in an unprecedented event, Keanu himself appeared in person to explain details
10:38about the game.
10:39And when he stated the feeling of the game to be breathtaking, an audience member shouted
10:43out,
10:44You're breathtaking.
10:45To which Keanu responded by giving the love back to this audience member and the audience
10:49overall tenfold.
10:51Well, technically twofold, but where's the fun in that?
10:53Okay, but let me tell you.
10:56The feeling of being there, of walking the streets of the future, is really going to
11:02be breathtaking.
11:04You're breathtaking.
11:06You're breathtaking.
11:09You're all breathtaking.
11:12Alright, alright, alright.
11:14So, I gotta finish this.
11:16So tell me.
