One never knows what can become popular on YouTube. It can be talented singers, dancers, musicians, people talking, and even crazy lip-synching. In 2004, Gary Brolsna of Saddle Brooke New Jersey posted a webcam video of himself miming to the song “Dragostea din tei” by Moldovan pop band O-Zone.
The video was named Numa Numa based on a phrase from the song. The results? Brolsna’s video became an internet phenomenon viewed by millions of people. This led to many mainstream media appearances for Brolsna. Since then, Brolsna has appeared on many television talk shows, television shows and even appeared on the animated show South Park. Brolsna has created many different Numa Numa videos that are still being watched to this day. It goes to show you that to be famous on YouTube you don’t need to be talented in a conventional way nor do you need to be particularly good looking, all you need to do is be entertaining.
