3	* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic has [[http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/nostalgia%20critic a dedicated]] [[http://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/NostalgiaCritic Japanese fanbase]] who sub all his videos. Doug's other character, Chester A. Bum, is also popular. This despite Doug admitting he's not a big fan of Japanese things (although he's a pretty casual anime fan with one of his favorites being ''Anime/CowboyBebop'').
4	** In fact, the Critic and the Nerd have had cameos in an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNUfk3R157U actual anime.]]
5	** As his crossover stuff became subbed the other members of Website/ChannelAwesome also started getting Japanese fanbases, notably The Nostalgia Chick, referred to as "Nostal-Ko" (Nostal = an English abbreviation as typical in Japan and Ko = The Japanese kanji for child, usually also used to refer to younger women) on nico, Spoony, [=JewWario=] (they called him "Wario Oji-san", or "Uncle Wario") and for some odd reason Doug's brother Rob (who they referred to as Ni-San or Big Brother)
6	** The Nostalgia Critic is also extremely popular in Spain and Latin America.
7	** Channel Awesome also has a seemingly dedicated Eastern European fanbase, if the amount of Webvideo/TheCinemaSnob, Webvideo/BrowsHeldHigh, and Webvideo/ToddInTheShadows uploads with RussianPolish subtitles says anything. Or that many [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes seemingly lost videos]] can be found in Russian social network VK.
8	* An odd form of this comes with the audience ''gender'' for the internet niche fandom of Music/{{Vocaloid}}. While in Japan, the voices of the predominantly-young-female character vocal series are often fawned over by boys and men ([[DirtyOldMan some of them in their thirties]]), Vocaloid in general is far more popular with girls and women in America. Alternatively, while the Japanese Vocaloids usually get most of the spotlight with the English Vocaloids used as emergency backup, Big Al, by far the most manly-sounding vocaloid thus far, has gained quite a bit more popularity than you would expect. Another English Vocaloid, Oliver, also has a very large following in Japan compared to most English Vocaloids, and his popularity might even surpass Big-Al.
9	** There are some Japanese Vocaloid songs that have much more views on Website/YouTube than on the original Nico Nico Douga upload. For instance, Dark Woods Circus has almost five times as many views on Website/YouTube subbed than the original upload, and Reverse Rainbow having more views on Website/YouTube was acknowledged in Project Mirai.
10	** The song Echo by [=CrusherP=], despite being an American-made song entirely in English, is massively popular in Japan, appearing in rhythm games and karaoke machines. It even got a light novel adaptation [[NoExportForYou that has yet to be released in English]].
11	* [[https://www.youtube.com/user/mugumogu Maru]], the fat (or, if you prefer, "fluffy") cat from Japan who loves boxes is extremely popular in America and the English speaking world. [[http://www.urlesque.com Urlesque]] voted Maru as the internet's favorite cat, beating out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bmhjf0rKe8 Surprised Kitty]] and even ''WebOriginal/LOLCats''.
12	* For whatever reason, German gamers love to make blind LetsPlay videos, a trend which started in the United States. Anglophones (or non-Germanophones at large) trying to find a genuine first-time commentary are often endlessly frustrated by this phenomenon.
13	* Look at the Website/YouTube statistics, Sweden happens to be one of biggest sources of views for WebVideo/EpicMealTime videos.
14	** Its Swedish retort, ''WebVideo/RegularOrdinarySwedishMealTime'', on the other hand, is pretty damn popular in both Poland and South Korea.
15	* WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd is rather popular in Japan. Almost every one of his reviews have been completely subbed into Japanese and can be found on Japanese video sharing sites such as Website/NicoNicoDouga.
16	** Conversely, almost every episode of ''Series/GameCenterCX'' has been subbed into English by Website/SomethingAwful, and can be found on English video sharing sites such as Website/YouTube.
17	** AVGN is also very popular and influential in France, and the "angry review" style is widespread in this country (with WebVideo/JoueurDuGrenier as flag carrier).
18	** But the king of them all [[http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/Cinemassacre.com according to Alexa]], is IN NORWAY! 16% of his traffic comes from there, and he breaks the top 500 most popular sites in the country.
19	** AVGN is also popular in South Korea.
20	** Going by the amount of re uploaded videos with either subtitles or dubs, it's safe to assume that WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows, among others, are popular in Russia and Poland.
21	** AVGN also has a considerable number of fans in Latin America and Spain. On Website/YouTube you can find several fandubs in Spanish of his reviews.
22	* Webvideo/TheSpoonyExperiment has quite a large following in Finland.
23	* The obligatory Website/{{Cracked}} link: [[http://www.cracked.com/article_18895_7-things-from-america-that-are-insanely-popular-overseas.html 7 Things From America That Are Insanely Popular Overseas]]
24	* Latin Americans really like {{Creepypasta}}s, which one is quick to learn to if they're looking for stories on Website/YouTube. [[http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Category:AltLang behold.]]
25	* YouTubePoop has a thriving scene in Russia (RYTP), Germany (Youtube Kacke), Finland (Sinä[=TuubaPaska=]), Brazil (YTPBR), and Latin America (YTPH; Youtube Poop Hispano). It's also been acknowledged – but not as popular – in France (YTPFR; French Youtube Poop), Hungary (Huntube Poop), the Netherlands (Youtube Poep), and Poland (PYTP).
26	** Worth noting that many of the top Finnish [=YTPers=] work in English, only venturing into their native language [[RuleOfFunny for the lulz]].
27	** In fact, in Japan, they have [[http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAD%E3%83%A0%E3%83%BC%E3%83%93%E3%83%BC MADs]], which are somewhat like [=YTPs=], that then spread to China and Korea.
28	* The ''Main/StorytimeAnimators'' (especially ''WebAnimation/JaidenAnimations'' and ''WebAnimation/TheOdd1sOut'') are quite popular among Spanish-speaking users. They have lots of fandubs in Spanish (some exceeding millions of visits).
29	** There is an urban legend that ''WebAnimation/{{Domics}}'' once appeared on a children's channel in Sri Lanka.
30	* ''Webcomic/HangInThereKogasaSan'', a SliceOfLife webcomic using ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' characters for {{Author Avatar}}s, is wildly popular with European and American ''Touhou'' fans. They invited the writer to attend Anime Boston!
31	* While ''Shifty Look'' is officially owned by Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment, the webcomics are made by people from other parts of the world to localize Japanese Namco [=IP=]s and cater to English speaking audiences, but the Shifty Look website has gotten so much web traffic from Japan that they decided to also translate the comics to Japanese as well.
32	* Going by the comments on Nico Nico Douga, ''WebVideo/{{React}}'''s Creator/{{Lia\|MarieJohnson}} has some fans in Japan, and some fans in Taiwan as well. She's hardly ''unpopular'' in the States or UK, though.
33	* Despite Rémi Gaillard being French he is getting lots more fame in the US than he gets in France. This may perhaps explain why his video's all have English titles and title descriptions despite the fact that his early video's contain French messages (the title descriptions below it are still in French though).
34	* ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'', an American horror-comedy podcast series has ''quite'' a large following in Britain (relatively speaking), much to the surprise of the series' creators. On their first European tour, they sold out ''three'' live shows in London and had to do a fourth, selling more tickets than anywhere else they had ever been – even the series' native New York.
35	* An in-universe example in Literature/ZhirinovskysRussianEmpire: US President Bob Kerrey has mixed reputation in America. [[spoiler:Risking nuclear war with the UIS to prevent them from occupying Kosovo and possibly massacring ethnic Albanians]] makes him popular in America when the UIS withdraws, but makes him an idol to the Albanians. Hundreds of Albanian children are named after him, one of whom becomes a teen pop sensation for sharing Bob Kerrey's name, and for his [[SoBadItsGood hilariously bad music]].
36	* Here is a fun little game: Type in the name of a webcomic made in any place outside of the USA that was written in the English language and look at its "audience geography" rating on [[http://www.alexa.com/ Alexa]]. 90% of the time it will have the most popularity in the United States. AmericaTakesOverTheWorld indeed… though it's understandable when one considers that the USA has more native English speakers than every other English-speaking country combined.[[note]] Nearly 300 million, for the record. The United Kingdom (where the English language came from), Canada, Australia and New Zealand combined are just upwards of 100 million.[[/note]]
37	* Website/{{Uncyclopedia}} was started by English speaking people with the English version being started first but now, the Portuguese version (made by Brazilians) has more articles than the English version does.
38	* Filipino internet comedy duo, Moymoy Palaboy, who are known for their videos of lip-synching songs had a huge fanbase in Latin America. They even become more famous when their lip-synch video of "Everybody" by the Music/BackstreetBoys with Filipino actor Mark Herras became a subject of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOv4HHOtn1E a certain Japanese MMD video]] with ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' characters imitating their moves. Apparently, Ryan Seacrest erroneously reported the other way around. Oh, and this is before Dub Smash became a hit in the Philippines.
39	* While originating in the United States, [[GagDub gag dubbing]] has otherwise its biggest communities in United Kingdom (where several memes have been made), Germany (where dubbers like Creator/{{Coldmirror}} pretty much have the common Website/YouTube fame) and Norway (which has a noticable community, where [[https://www.youtube.com/user/CrappyScrap CrappyScrap]] was essentially its boss).
40	* Dutch vlogger Nice Nienke is popular in Brazil, to the point where an estimated 95% of her subscribers are from there. Her success in can be contributed to her video "TRYING TO SPEAK BRAZILIAN PORTUGESE ♡", which became popular in Brazil.
41	* ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries'' is quite popular in the United Kingdom, despite it being [[AdaptationalNationality a heavily Americanized version]] of [[Literature/PrideAndPrejudice one of U.K.'s classic and beloved novels]]. The character of Lydia Bennet in particular is considered ''way'' better over there (and pretty much everywhere else who knows about the source material).
42	* Creator/RoosterTeeth is huge in Australia, where the fans have created a group of thousands, [[https://roosterteeth.fandom.com/wiki/Roo_Teeth Roo Teeth]] (whose founder, Caiti Ward, eventually joined the company and even married a staffer), and the company in turn made sure to hold the first international RTX in Sydney.
43	* Fotolog (an application to upload photos to the Internet) was incredibly popular in Chile, in 2007 a third of its users were Chilean, although it has now been largely replaced by Instagram.
44	* The Website/SCPFoundation has become so popular that it has versions in [[http://fondationscp.wikidot.com/ French]], [[http://scpkoreahq.wikidot.com/ Korean]], [[http://scp-wiki-cn.wikidot.com/ Chinese]], [[http://scp-th.wikidot.com/ Thai]], [[http://scp-jp.wikidot.com/ Japanese]], [[http://lafundacionscp.wikidot.com/ Spanish]], [[http://www.scp-pl.wikidot.com Polish]], etc, etc.
45	** SCP even got an official light novel released in Japan. ''SCP Foundation: Iris Through the Looking Glass''.
46	* Invoked in Episode 6 of ''WebVideo/MissingReel'', which talks about the impact UsefulNotes/HongKong cinema had on the movie industry and on moviegoers.
47	* The ''vast'' majority of fans of the ''WebVideo/HydraulicPressChannel'' aren't from his native Finland, with a solid 45% of them being from the United States, and he's been interviewed by well over 20 websites and newspapers now with only one of them being from his home country. The [[FunnyForeigner sheer Finnishness]] of Lauri and Anni, a couple who LearntEnglishFromWatchingTelevision, is ''the'' thing that makes the couple so lovable and their show so hilariously entertaining when compared to other imitators.
48	* [[Website/TVTropes This Very Wiki]] is ''huge'' among Brits, to the point where several tropes were named for British pop culture references, to the point where the region's newspapers [[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers have their own page]], and to the point where ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' (a novel series, describable as [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs literature on drugs]], that is a classic in Europe but only known amongst a small amount of geeks in the rest of the world) has a huge presence around here and its pages dwarf those of other British media such as ''Literature/{{Redwall}}''! It's also to the point where, on quite a few pages, you'll expect to find British/Commonwealth slang and pop culture references at every turn. American Tropers are often [[SeparatedByACommonLanguage endlessly frustrated]] by the abundance of British slang, terminology and pop culture references used on pages, even going as far as to start edit wars to change them (and vice-versa). There was also an argument over the "Neasden" bus used for the page image of PutOnABusToHell. There have been attempts at [[Administrivia/AmericanAndCommonwealthSpellings policies quelling this issue]].
49	** Malaysia is also home to quite a few tropers, but not as many as the United Kingdom. It's not uncommon for pages focusing on censorship to describe the government's overly conservative censorship policies.
50	* Website/TheOtherWiki, despite being created in the United States, it is very popular in countries such as Russia, Spain (as well as Latin America), Germany, Saudi Arabia and China; even after being BannedInChina the chinese version is still popular in Taiwan.
