Transcripts
we're gonna rank YouTube's 10 worst
apology videos from bad to downright
terrible so let's begin by looking at
ricegum whose trash apology went by the
name of this dude calls me out for
mystery unboxing ricegum's apology
referred to a different video from three
days prior titled how I got airpods for
four dollars in which it promote a
mystery box gambling site while making
it sound as though the website was an
easy way to make money because ricegum
had a young audience he'd be called out
by h3h3 Productions in PewDiePie for
promoting gambling to children with
ricegum's response coming in the days
following these call-out videos his
apology began on terrible footing as
instead of admitting any kind of
wrongdoing he'd say that he was
justified in doing the video as they
paid him more than a hundred thousand
dollars before going on a state that he
wasn't the first YouTuber to promote the
website ricegum then concluded the video
by giving out multiple Amazon gift card
codes there's nothing I can really do
but say sorry and give you these Amazon
gift cards so I'm sorry only each code
had already expired fired by the time
the video went live beginning your
apology by bragging about money before
going on to offer your audience some old
expired gift cards definitely makes for
a pretty poor apology however the video
was short and sweet it felt as though it
was consistent with ricegum's
personality and the argument about other
YouTubers promoting the site before him
was actually a pretty reasonable point
ricegum was also smart enough to keep
his cool throughout the whole video
which Shane Dawson wasn't able to do
who's incredibly volatile State led to
YouTube's ninth worst apology video
taking accountability began with Shane
stating that emotionally chucking on a
webcam and apologizing was stupid and
childish and that is stupid that is
something that a child does not
something that a 31 year old man does
that's not that's not good although this
is exactly what he'd do over the
following 20 minutes Shane was
apologizing for the jokes he'd made
during his 10-year YouTube career and
although he'd say that he was simply
laying out his feelings the whole video
used manipulative language and felt as
though was coming from a point of total
desperation and I'm so sorry I am so
sorry to anybody that saw that it's
something that I shouldn't even be able
to get out of I should lose everything
for that Shane used all the classic Buzz
phrases such as I will educate myself
and I will do better and I don't know
who that person is anymore and therefore
the whole video just feels like a
pathetic template to get hate off his
back as opposed to a personalized video
with his own terminology to apply to his
specific situation the hypocrisy
continued into the end of the video when
Shane stated that being defensive was a
poor way to make changes I'm gonna go on
the defensive and that's not a good way
to live and it's not a good way to grow
yet he seemed completely unaware that
his entire video was Defensive in
response to the drama that he had found
himself in however Elise Shane didn't
insinuate that his audience was stupid
as when the Fine Brothers uploaded their
awful apology that accidentally insult
the entirety of YouTube the Fine
Brothers had pioneered the reaction
genre on YouTube with their kids react
series and we'll post a video in early
2016 simply taught react World in which
it sounded like the Fine Brothers were
trying to copyright any kind of YouTube
reaction video as a result of their
poorly crafted concept they'd receive
hate from every corner of the internet
prompting what we're now calling the
eighth worst apology in YouTube history
the apology began with the Fine Brothers
admitting that their video was worded
poorly and that they never plan on
trying to copyright YouTube's reaction
genre first and foremost we're sorry for
confusing people by using terminology
like our react format we were never
trying to say that every video or
someone reacts to something else is
something we would try to control
however despite stating this the two
would then go on to explain that they
had taken down other reaction content in
the past while continuing to imply that
the audience was stupid for being unable
to comprehend the concept laid out in
their initial react World video just
because we have or might get trademarks
doesn't mean we're going to run around
and start taking down videos we're sorry
that you're too stupid to understand how
this works is basically the sum of this
apology in one sentence so yeah classic
arrogant non-apoli at the end of the day
the Fine Brothers got off lightly as
their initial mistake wasn't or that big
of a deal however the same couldn't be
said for Travis Scott who posted the
seventh worst apology after 10 people
died at his Astro World concert it
happened in November 2021 and despite
everybody in the crowd chanting to stop
the show where Travis Scott continued
which ultimately resulted in the 10
fatalities alongside 500 other injuries
as the news of the tragedy began to go
viral Travis was planning his apology
and would take to Instagram with someone
of an unconventional approach he was
seemingly trying to avoid having his
face click baited by the media and
therefore recorded a short video in
black and white Under bad lighting from
a bad angle with his eyes closed and his
hand covering his face for the majority
of the video this was certainly a 200 IQ
play however it also made for an
extremely terrible unpleasant viewing
experience and resulted in comments such
as Travis Scott is clearly much more
focused on his headache than his apology
as well as he gave his forehead more
respect than the people who died of a
horrible painful death as a direct
consequence of his inaction the words he
used in the video weren't much better
either because as highlighted by this
comment his apology is basically damn
that's crazy I just want to send out
prayers to the to the ones that was lost
last night I mean I'm honestly just
devastated I could never imagine
anything like this just happening the
funniest part is that in his apology
Travis is talking like he wasn't there
it's like the dude just woke up and was
like oh man people died at Travis
Scott's concert the apology was
certainly bizarre however it wasn't
nearly as strange as the sixth worst
apology by simply Kenna who became
YouTube's first Creator to apologize in
the form of a poem the apology came in
response to being called out for
plagiarism and seemingly as an
overcompensation for trying to be
original simply kind of wrote a three
and a half minute poem using nothing but
incredibly deep metaphor am I a human am
I a monster or am I something in between
now to Ken is crazy that the poem was
pretty well written however using it to
apologize felt like an unbelievably
strange move the whole point of an
apology is to be sincere to write a poem
rehearse it those fake facial
expressions and background music babe
that's not sincere an apology in poetry
is me in my roris form even though I'm
not raw at all because I rehearse this
instead of just talking to you guys
naturally that poem is so corny still
trying to be aesthetic in an apology
video the video was so bad that Kenneth
then posted another apology video to say
sorry for the first one and as
summarized by this comment if you have
to make an apology video for an apology
video it might be time to take a break
from YouTube however at least simply
Kenna had the chance to take a break
voluntarily as when T Martin posted his
awful apology the audience stopped
watching completely in the lead-up to
what we're calling the fifth worst
apology in YouTube history team modern
promoted a website called CS go Lotto
claiming that he found the site at
random and was able to use it to win
expensive CS go items although it
wouldn't be long before T Martin was
exposed as being one of the owners of
the website prompting the now Infamous
I'm sorry video the apology began on
fake manipulative footing as T Martin
sat there talking to his dog about how
difficult the video was going to be yeah
Cooper I have no idea how I'm gonna
record this video dude however it's hard
to tell exactly how the video was
supposed to be difficult as TmarTn would
do nothing besides sit there and spend
two minutes telling the audience how
dumb they were my connection to CS go
Lotto has been a matter of public record
since the company was first organized in
December of 2015. this is and always has
been a clearly stated policy he barely
even apologized he's putting the blame
on the people for not understanding WTF
he basically called his fan stupid I
love how he didn't even apologize and
basically just said it's our fault it
didn't help that TmarTn decided to film
the apology in the entryway to his
mansion with his expensive truck sitting
just outside the window but at least he
was smart enough to flaunt his wealth
subtly as the liver King's terrible
apology began with him blatantly
bragging about how much money he had
prior to the liver King confession he'd
consistently reiterated that his
physique was natural although when more
plates more dates uploaded a video
showing that this wasn't true where the
liver King felt the pressure to
apologize the liver king would begin his
apology by bragging about being rich
before social media I was rich and
Anonymous and after social media I'm
still rich but no longer Anonymous
before going on a try and convince the
audience that he never planned on
becoming famous and I never expected
this kind of exposure in the public eye
despite having grown the brand using his
face name and image as the most
recognizable feature the liver King then
goes on a claim that his Persona was
nothing more than an experiment to help
struggling teenagers never King the
public figure was an experiment to
spread the message our people are
hurting at record rates with depression
autoimmune anxiety infertility low
ambition and life are young men are
hurting them both feeling lost weak and
submissive which felt like a cliche
cop-out to shift the blame from what he
was being accused of the beginning of
the apology was bad the magnitude of the
initial lie was bad and the need for the
apology was almost non-existent in the
first place however because the liver
King was able to finish the video with a
couple of reasonable points he's avoided
being any higher on this list besides
it's almost impossible to have an
apology worse than the one post to buy
social Repose the video had been
uploaded after his ex-girlfriend
publicly accused him of cheating so
naturally social Repose wanted to share
his side of the story doing so in a
video titled Ray I'm an idiot the
apology began with the most unemotional
attempt at saying sorry I understand
what I did I understand that it's pretty
uh wrong heinous and like I said I I
messed up I I do deeply I do deeply
regret it before he'd gone to explain
that he had cheated in his previous
relationship they did cheat on her just
like I did my ex-girlfriend and it was
there for the girlfriend's fault for not
knowing that he was going to cheat again
and she kind of took me on with with the
thought that she could fix me and that
everyone did warn her and I I couldn't
stay faithful and here we are throughout
the video social Repose seemed so proud
of how broken he is as a person clearly
I have a lot of deep-seated issues I
have a lot of problems which was
justified in his own head as he
apparently had this incredible YouTube
channel I am so deeply entrenched in
Social Repose just as an entity that it
does it comes first it comes before all
my love and relationships and even
family to an extent this is my life I've
chosen it however a lay social pose made
some attempt at saying sorry as Sienna
May's apology was so bad that people
began to question if she was even saying
sorry at all SI anime was one of tick
tock's fastest growing creators until
another tick tocker accused her of
assault after which she'd take a break
from the internet and return with what
we're calling the second worst apology
in YouTube history it began with the
explanation that taking a month off
social media was the most difficult
month of siena's life before she'd gone
to state that her purpose in life was to
post tick tock dances and untouched
photos of herself throughout the video
Sienna implied that her youth excused
her from any wrongdoing although the
worst part was that she never even
apologized and rather spent more than
half of the video playing what she
called a relatable Sam Smith song while
doing a choreographed dance with the
goal of inspiring her audience the
stupidity of the apology is best
summarized by this comment reading the
fact that she and her team watched this
and said yeah this is a good idea is
hilarious to me all of them together
make one brain cell although Sienna's
one brain cell was still significantly
more than the amount that Laura Lee had
when she'd post almost objectively the
worst apology in YouTube history Laura
Lee posted the apology in response to
some old tweets although she would have
been significantly better off remaining
silent as there was nothing within this
video that wasn't a complete travesty
she'd spend the first 30 seconds talking
about nothing besides how difficult the
video was going to be in this video it's
been
so much
they've ever done before going on to
completely lose it on camera while
implementing all the classic phrases
such as I'm so sorry to disappoint you
all and I know that I'm better than that
Laura Lee cried and apologized then
cried and apologized some more although
in the process the audience noticed that
there were no tears coming out of her
eyes is this an audition I see no tears
literally no tears coming from her eyes
yet she keeps wiping away I think she
forgot to buy the eye drops after
everybody came to realize that Laura Lee
wasn't even crying she'd take a month
off YouTube to reflect after which she'd
return with an apology video for her
initial apology where she'd conclude the
drama with more NPC YouTube apology
dialogue I have changed so much as a
human being I have grown so much through
the situation I have grown and I have
learned so much
