...So, fellow Tropers, you might have heard some rumors about me. Perhaps they've said that I did something absurdly offensive, or I posted something incredibly racist on social media. I may have even committed a horrendous crime that I really should be in custody for. Since the backlash is getting too large and people won't know I'm sincere if I apologize with just a text post, I'll make an apology video and post it on Website/YouTube (or some other video-sharing site). Of course I'll start my video with a long sigh, and then I'll get [[EmotionallyTongueTied very emotional]] and use lots of {{Jump Cut}}s as I try to apologize, occasionally playing with my dog in hopes of leeching some CutenessProximity...

* Voice actor Spencedubs has [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker the Joker]] doing one [[https://youtu.be/5HXLPuGZfjc here]].here]], where he brings up the time where he [[KickTheDog attacked the Gotham Orphanage]]… because it was then and there where he disparaged [[Characters/HarleyQuinnTheCharacter Harley Quinn]] by giving her the unflattering name of being his "sidekick", [[SkewedPriorities prompting a backlash on social media]].
-->'''Joker:''' I took a shit on years and years of work she's put into this gang. And, y'know, after years of [[DomesticAbuse tormenting her and throwing her into vats of acid]], I thought it was socially acceptable for me to call her a sidekick. Generous, even! But thankfully, many of you Gothamites took to social media and made me see the errors of my ways. The truth is, words hurt. So, for tonight's attack on this city, I just wanna give a shout-out to my partner-in-crime, Harley Quinn. [[MoodWhiplash Also, I strapped a bomb to the mayor's chest and you have thirty minutes to stop me, B-Man! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!]]

-->''I vandalized the paintings in the museum\\
'Cause I was trying to [[InsaneTrollLogic make a statement on climate activism]]\\
I never thought everybody would get so triggered\\
When I [[DisproportionateRetribution killed that man]] on live television\\
You treat me like I'm a criminal\\
[[MoralMyopia Just because I'm a criminal]]\\
Now [[SecretIdentity Bruce Wayne]] has disliked every single one of my videos\\
I may have brought a gun to [[WouldHurtAChild the children's ward]] at the hospital\\
[[EvenEvilHasStandards But at least I didn't do anything weird with the kids]]''

These kinds of videos are rife for parody, but they're still considered necessary to repair one's image whenever a vlogger gets into trouble. This trope covers parodies of apologies made by video creators, though the trend of [=YouTubers=] giving emotional apologies in the late [=2010s=] (and the ensuing parodies) is the TropeCodifier. They're the favorite tool of the BadInfluencer. Parodies often start with a ClickbaitGag and exaggerate the offensiveness of the transgression being apologized for. The apology parody could [[SpoofedWithTheirOwnWords use the words of spoofed creator]], but make them [[BackhandedApology full of sarcasm and actually unapologetic]], [[NeverMyFault blaming it on everybody but themself]].

In it, he jumps through a few different video styles (including a direct satire of Music/TravisScott's apology video where he constantly massages his entire face while moaning about how bad he feels) and quotes parts of Creator/LoganPaul's infamous apology as he says he's sorry for what happened and vows to be better... before '''[[RecordNeedleScratch PSYCHE!]]''', cheerfully admitting that no, he's just a moron with a poor memory and isn't sorry in the slightest for being one.
