How did the meme Technoviking become famous?
First uploaded to YouTube in 2006, Technoviking didn't become
amazingly popular until 2007, when it was featured on sites such as
Break, Digg, and eBaumsworld. It then spawned a large thread on
4chan and was features on Cracked. A real life exhibit dedicated to
the video was created in Karlsruhe, Germany, and a website full of
fan-made parodies of the original followed soon after.
