History MemeticLoser / WebOriginal

* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'', who frequently gets abused by the whole universe during his shorts and will usually end up worse off than he was before.
** His loser status has become much worse in recent years due to both the “change the channel” controversy (in which RealLife mistakes cost him all of his Channel Awesome collaborators (except for WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob), and [[SoBadItsGood completely missing the point of the content]] during his review of Music/PinkFloyd’s “The Wall”. He still has his fans, but he has become a much bigger source of mockery recently due to the level of EpicFail involved with both incidents.

* Several Pokémon species have this reputation in ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonArena'', most notably Entei and Deoxys. It's generally treated more as a joke.
** The [[https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v1/120232/1.0 "TriHard"]] emoticon is generally used in the stream's chat to represent this exact concept.

* “This is How You DON’T Play” montage stars. In other words, [[LetsPlay Let’s Players]] who are so infamously bad in terms of both gameplay skill and commentary that they have become widespread examples of how to not play video games through various compilations all over Website/YouTube.
** Dark[==]Syde[==]Phil is viewed as a total joke by the LetsPlay community. He actually has completed an impressive library of games, which proves that he can successfully complete most video games he plays, it's just that it typically takes an endless montage of [[NeverLiveItDown idiotic moments]], an INFAMOUS NeverMyFault attitude the whole way through that makes his fails even funnier, and [[{{Jerkass}} obnoxious]] [[DudeNotFunny commentary]] ruining the experience for viewers that has made him the shining example and progenitor of the “This is How You DON’T Play” montages.
** [[Creator/{{Egoraptor}} Arin Hanson]] of ''WebVideo/GameGrumps''. His poor playing skills alone led to ''Arin Sucks at Video Games'' being a popular meme for both fans and haters, but in recent years his constant negativity, unfinished playthroughs, venomous biases against certain games regardless of how popular they are, obnoxious reliance on ToiletHumor, [[NeverMyFault and insistence on blaming the game for his own screwups]] has resulted in his own growing number of "This Is How You DON'T Play" videos, to the point that people have named him as either a counterpart or the SpiritualSuccessor to DSP. Taking it one step further, some aformentioned TIHYDP videos, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnFACAQdz9k such]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izBNGvqWZ2I as]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zfKvhBAfSk&t=4297s these]], have even compared the two's footage, and noted that Arin plays ''worse'' than [=DarkSydePhil=], which has only further cemented his status as this in many's eyes.
** WebVideo/LowTierGod is infamous for his SmallNameBigEgo attitude, a HairTriggerTemper that leads to countless unnecessary [[RageQuit rage quits]] and the... [[CrossesTheLineTwice interesting insults]] he hurls at his opponents whether he’s [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating winning]] or [[SoreLoser losing]]. Like DSP and Game Grumps, there are many viewers who watch him simply out of BileFascination, and he has several of his own “This Is How You DON’T Play” montages because of this.
** Even [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Noah Antwiler, aka Spoony]] is not immune to this. After the Spoony Experiment ended, he mostly limited his online presence to {{Website/Twitter}} and Let’s Plays, and he has gotten some of these montages for failing so much in his video game playthroughs. Mainly for getting frustrated easily, which combined with the classic NeverMyFault stance he has in common with the previous examples, leads to him lashing out at his viewers and making it a very sour experience for everyone involved.

* In Creator/{{Funhaus}}'s playthrough of the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' gamemode "The Condemned," it didn't take long for the entire team to declare the eponymous character an absolute joke. Because the Condemned loses health until he can kill another player and transfer the curse to them, the character will always have less health than the people he's supposed to be hunting down. Also, he's [[WimpFight absolutely pathetic in melee combat]], at one point hitting an enemy player ''six times'' with a rifle butt - an attack that normally ranges from devastating to OneHitKill. By the second video, the Funhaus crew have been able to turn the tables on the Condemned by ganging together and hunting him down instead... and they ''steal money from his corpse'', too. As a result, everyone on the team makes jokes about the serial killer's clumsiness and poor health, to the point that he sometimes appears to die from tripping over a gravestone (it's actually because he ran out of health). And they call him ''Spookums'', too.
* Website/{{SFDebris}} characterizes Hawke of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' as this: already an unlucky protagonist in canon, Chuck took issue with the fact that the game insists that Hawke is supposedly vitally important to the setting even though Hawke does nothing but bumble about for about three quarters of the game due to [[{{Railroading}} the plot being on rails]]. As a result, Chuck roleplays Hawke as a miserable, put-upon loser doomed to fail at everything she does; plus, [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten he will never let anyone forget]] the time that a Desire Demon ''refused to make a DealWithTheDevil with her.''

* Mike Dawson from ''VideoGame/DarkSeed II'' already deserved this status, but the ''WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}}'' videos of the game just made him look worse. The player decided to be ridiculously thorough, to the point of talking to nearly every character and visiting nearly every area after everything, making Mike look like a moron who could never work out what to do next and had a strange fixation on standing in his bathroom and staring into space. He also lost at the carnival games so many times that it became a RunningGag, to the point that when Mike was supposed to win at ring toss, slowbeef edited the footage and said [[FanonDiscontinuity that according to Retsupurae canon, he didn't win ring toss and never would]].

** Weiss has an unfortunate reputation among the FNDM as she is the only member of Team RWBY who still hasn't won a victory against a single opponent alone, ''six seasons in'': Vernal stomped her badly, Flynt had her on the ropes through most of their fight, and even an unnamed {{Elite Mook|s}}. Taken further with ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' where she loses quite handily to [[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} Mitsuru Kirijo]]. She has even been compared to a {{Jobber}}. Though for what it's worth, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M6Z73v5ZEA an analysis video]] suggests Weiss has ''by far'' the most assists and saves of any of Team RWBY/

** [[spoiler: Pyrrha Nikos could be coming to this route as well. For starters that fact that the rest of her teammates will get new outfits throughout the show but she’s most likely to still stuck in her Beacon arc outfit, the implications that Jaune will hook up with Weiss as the series progress, leaving to many jokes about her death.[[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead (Here Lies Pyrrha. She Never Scored)]] and the opening to Volume 7 implying that Oscar or another character will take her place in Team JNR. That fact that her death was planned by Monty Oum, who died a year before her in-show death, in order to advance the story probably didn’t help as well, leading to comparisons to [[Franchise/SpiderMan Uncle Ben]] and [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Thomas and Martha Wayne]] and since Warner Bros technically owns RWBY since the merger with Rooster Teeth’s parent company AT&T, she will most likely be doomed to die again should WB plan a reboot decades from now.
