‘Shut your mouth Obama’
A supporter of Egyptian president Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi became famous after a viral television interview in 2014 of her delivering a message in English to US President Barak Obama.
‘What about your first Oscar’
Egyptian Journalist Shaimaa Abdel Moneim made headlines in 2016 with her question to actor Leonardo DiCarpio during a press conference after he won his first Oscar in 2016.
“Leo, hi, I am the first Egyptian journalist covering the Oscars, what about a first Oscar for you?” she said.
And if that isn’t enough, here are some more viral videos that took the world by storm over the past decade…
Gangnam Style
In his 2012 song about the Gangnam district in Seoul, the South Korean musician Psy’s dance went viral after reaching a billion views in just five months. His horse riding dance was imitated by viewers from all over the world.
Harlem shake
A group of Australian teenagers sparked another Gangnam Style-like viral dance craze called the “Harlem Shake” in 2013.
The fivesome, from Australia’s Sunshine Coast, shot to fame with their 31-second clip “The Harlem Shake v1 (TSCS original),” with their pelvis-thrusting moves inspiring tens of thousands of Internet copycat clips.
Kiki challenge
The most recent of the dance challenges was the Kiki challenge, in which people are seen climbing out of slow-moving cars and dancing to Drake’s hit song.
Those caught carrying out the video challenge in the UAE were fined $545, penalized with 23 black points and had their vehicle impounded for 60 days.
Ice bucket challenge
Unlike many of the viral social media videos, the ice bucket challenge in 2014 was done for a good cause. It started as a way to raise money for, and promote awareness, of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS — or motor neuron disease as it’s known in the UK).
The challenge involved people pouring buckets of iced water over their heads, then nominating others to follow suit and/or donate.
