* Going by the comments on Nico Nico Douga, ''WebVideo/{{React}}'''s Lia has some fans in Japan, and some fans in Taiwan as well. She's hardly ''unpopular'' in the States or UK, though.

* 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 Hieras became a subject of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOv4HHOtn1E a certain Japanese MMD video]] with VideoGame/{{Touhou}} 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.

** 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

** 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 Englsih]].

* 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 NicoNicoDouga.

** 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 abbreviation 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)

** There are some Japanese Vocaloid songs that have much more views on YouTube than on the original Nico Nico Douga upload. For instance, Dark Woods Circus has almost five times as many views on YouTube subbed than the original upload, and Reverse Rainbow having more views on YouTube was acknowledged in Project Mirai.

* Look at the Youtube statistics, Sweden happens to be one of biggest sources of views for WebVideo/EpicMealTime videos.

* {{Uncyclopedia}} was started by English speaking people with the English version being started first but now, the Portugese version has more articles than the English version does.

* While ''{{Shifty Look}}'' is officially owned by 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 ShiftyLook website has gotten so much web traffic from Japan that they decided to also translate the comics to Japanese as well.

* An odd form of this comes with the audience ''gender'' for the internet niche fandom of {{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, [[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.

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

* WebAnimation/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).

** 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 Englsih]].

** There are some Japanese Vocaloid songs that have much more views English subbed on YouTube than on the original Nico Nico Douga upload. Reverse Rainbow and Dark Woods Circus are just a few examples.

* While originating in the United Kingdom, [[GagDub gag dubbing]] has otherwise the biggest communities in Germany (where dubbers like [[Creator/Coldmirror Coldmirror]] pretty much have the common [[Website/YouTube YouTube]] fame) and Norway (which has a tightly knit community, where [[http://www.youtube.com/user/CrappyScrap CrappyScrap]] is essentialy its leader).

* Along the same lines as the above example, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic also 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, the Bum, is also popular. This despite Doug admitting he's not a big fan of Japanese things (he's watched one anime, ''Anime/CowboyBebop'').

** Actually, [[http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/Cinemassacre.com according to Alexa]], his popularity seems to be biggest IN NORWAY! 16% of his traffic comes from there, and he breaks the top 500 most popular sites in the country.

* ''HappyTreeFriends'' is quite popular in Japan.
** And in Portugal and Spain, albeit on a cult level.
