* YouTubePoop has a thriving scene in Russia (RYTP), Germany (Youtube Kacke), Finland (SinäTuubaPaska), 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).

** Conversely, almost every episode of ''GameCenterCX'' has been subbed into English by SomethingAwful, and can be found on English video sharing sites such as Website/YouTube.

** As his crossover stuff became subbed the other members of Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses also started getting Japanese fanbases, notably The Nostalgia Chick, referred to as "Nostal-Ko" (Nostal = an English abreviation as typical in Japan and Ko = The Japanese kanji for child, usually also used to refer to younger women) on nico, Spoony, [=JewWario-] (for his Super Robot Wars review) and for some odd reason Doug's brother Rob (who they referred to as Ni-San or Big Brother)

* An odd form of this comes with the audience ''gender'', for the internet niche fandom {{Vocaloid}}. While in Japan, the voices of the predominantly-young-female character vocal series are often fawned over by boys and men in Japan ( 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, [[RatedMForManly 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.

* For whatever reason, German gamers love to make blind LetsPlay videos, a trend which started in the States. Anglophones (or non-Germanophones at large) trying to find a genuine first-time commentary are often endlessly frustated by this phenomenon.

** It's Swedish retort, RegularOrdinarySwedishMealTime, on the other hand, is pretty damn popular in both Poland and South Korea.

** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic is also gaining Japanese popularity, thanks to the AVGN Vs. NC crossover.

* YouTubePoop has a thriving scene in Russia (RYTP), Germany (Youtube Kacke), Finland (SinäTuubaPaska), Brazil (YTPBR) and Spanish-speaking countries (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).
** In fact, in Japan, [[http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAD%E3%83%A0%E3%83%BC%E3%83%93%E3%83%BC MADs]], which are somewhat like YTPs then spread to China and Korea.

* ''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.
* An in-universe example in WebOriginal/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 and 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]].
* 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.

* [[http://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 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bmhjf0rKe8 Surprised Kitty]] and even ''LOLCats''.

** In fact, YTPs are what inspired the Japanese (and eventually Chinese and Korean) to create [[http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAD%E3%83%A0%E3%83%BC%E3%83%93%E3%83%BC MADs]].

* ''Webcomic/HangInThereKogasasan'', a SliceOfLife webcomic using ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' characters for {{Author Avatar}}s, is wildly popular with European and American ''Touhou'' fans. They invited the writer to attend Anime Boston!

* YouTubePoop has a thriving scene in Russia, Germany, and Finland.

* Despite Remi 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 (the title descriptions below it are still in French though).

* While ''{{ShiftyLook|Shifty Look}}'' is officially owned by NamcoBandai, the webcomics are made by people from other parts of the world to localize Japanese Namco IPs and cater to English speaking audiences, but the ShiftyLook website has gotten so much web traffic from Japan that they decided to also translate the comics to Japanese as well.

* Website/{{Twitter}} is taken more seriously in Japan than in Western territories. On the day Twitter shut down version 1.0 of its API, forcing users and developers to use API 1.1, most users around the world were apathetic to the change, except in Japan where the term "API" became a trending topic.

* Spoony has quite a large following in Finland
