Is is sad that I only know a few things/people in that video? I guess I'm not like 14 any more. *sniffle*

Not really. Since I never grew up, let me you fill in with what I know off the top of my head.

In 2012, YouTube was filled with parodies of Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe and PSY's Gangnam Style, the latter song and video from a South Korean rapper that went waaaaay viral across the world. It topped the music charts in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, every country in Europe that keeps Billboard charts, but only could manage #2 in the U.S. (Thank or blame Maroon 5.) So that's why the YouTube Rewind video went that direction ( ... )

So that leads us into the "Call Me Maybe" portion of the video, with original singer Carly Rae Jepsen being replaced by Felicia Day, the actress best known for starring in "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" and a gaming-based video series called "The Guild." She made news in 2012 not by choice. A gaming blogger for the Destructoid web site noted that Felicia Day had made no contributions to the gaming world and that she was nothing more than a glorified "booth babe." The Internet proceeded to destroy this ignorant idiot, but not before a comic book artist came out and said that women attending comic conventions are not comic fans but just girls who want to be admired for their breasts. Yea, the Internet destroyed that guy too ( ... )
