being in an all girls high school when Kim Kardashian Hollywood cam out was WILD. you could not take two steps in any direction without hearing the "hey bestie" from someone's phone

The most tragic part of the Kim Kardashian game was that I had to study it for media GCSE. Part of the grades that dictated my future were literally dependent on Kim K's pay to win game

finally, someone acknowledges the raw power of teenage girls. they're the reason the beatles are so famous and remembered. just saying

That Demi Lavato Episode series had the tightest grip on me. I was fighting for my life every hour, waiting for my tickets to reload, watching all the ads yet refusing to spend a single penny. I ended up crying every time I had to wear the ugly outfits to the concerts and dates.

the swift life was so hilarious like the girlies would say something like “no school for me because of the weather!” and random old men would be like “no school for me today because i’m 60!”

No I remember spending like 30 dollars on gems for the Demi Lovato Tour game on episode. Only in the game, I got kicked off the tour for insulting Demi and It was so traumatic for 10 y/o me that I deleted episode, erasing all of my progress is the process. I actually cried over it and It's so funny to think about now.

As a teenage girl who constantly gets put down for liking literally anything it felt really nice to be appreciated for the work that I am doing for pop culture!

Love the insinuation by the app that Britney Spears is living the American dream. Sexualized and taken advantage of by an entire nation as a teenager, vocal chords destroyed from a corporation forcing her to sing in an unnatural way so her singing career was basically over in her 30s, and under a conservervatorship by her abusive father. Honestly, pretty accurate representation of what happens when you chase the American dream tbh.

i remember vividly when tidal said lemonade would never be put on any other streaming services and i had a physical and mental breakdown of reality

What about the era when literally every celebrity was wearing beats headphones even at red carpets

my fave celeb app was the Dwayne The Rock Johnson one, it was basiccally just an alarm clock app that had different alarm tones that were like....Dwayne singing to you, or an autotune of his dog barking. Top tier truly.

Naurrrrr the Kendall and Kylie game had the tightest grip on me 😭 I would beg my mom to give me countless iTunes cards just so I could spend an absurd amount of money trying to get the goddamn Kylie bikini … nothing I do in my lifetime will redeem that act

The fact that you didn’t mention Katy Perry singing in SIMLISH FOR HER PACK - I can’t

I like this guy. He has a very large personality but he doesn't shout at me and he does a good job providing a lot of details. I think I will watch more

There was this lady Gaga ‘pet’ in the game Moshi Monsters but it was changed to “lady GooGoo” and it was lady Gaga as a baby??? They even made a whole song for lady googoo, but I think what happened was lady Gaga sued them lol

My KKH phase was dark… spent so much time and money on it, I would literally set alarms to wake up and finish projects lol but it’s a super fun game and made really well

Mike we really need to talk about how The Urbz: Sims in the City just straight up had all of the Black Eyed Peas as NPCs in the game and they recorded Simlish versions of their songs for the soundtrack. Truly iconic

I remember I once downloaded the Harry Potter game, and it is literally impossible to get past the second level without paying money, I cried so hard trying to get out of that detention room

my friends and i (teen girls in the early 2010s) were obsessed with Kim K Hollywood. none of us even watched KUWTK but the game had us by the throats

“WRONG 2.4 billion dollars” And then I ascended onto a higher plane

"i like some of gagas songs but what does she know about cameras" will forever be one of the most iconic lines uttered on the internet

omg this reminded me that I have a screen recording of an ad for the high heels game, in which the text reads "Are you ready for PuRaul's DrageRace?" and the song they used is a hacked to bits version of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" that goes something like this: "All the single-ingles, All the single-ingles...Up in the club, just broke my hip" etc.

“Cool for the summer” is stuck in my head so hard from the Demi episode colab lol

The Jeremy Renner app is probably our best technological achievement but also the worst thing that came out of modern technology🥴

When Michael’s miscellaneous adventures of Michelle’s microphone posts? Every girl boss gets their wings

just coming back here to say I hope all the Rennenators are staying strong at this challenging time, without an app to congregate no less

The first app made by a music artist that was centered around an album release was first done by Björk for Biophilia. That project came out 2011 and inspired others to attempt.

The fact that you didn't mention that Ariana Grande could fight Sephiroth in the Final Fantasy mobile game

Celebrity’s fragrance is the cause of all this in my mind

I was at theatre camp doing les mis in summer 2015 (i was 15) and I’m pretty sure my friends and i put more energy into competing over the Kim Kardashian app than learning any of our lines or music

watching this after the announcement of the cancellation of the kim kardashian game omfg rest in power…

The Swift live was wild, I remember one of her fucking cats always walking across the screen for no fucking reason, also Taylor used this app like once to promote her End Game music video and called it a day

I have no interest in Kim Kardashian but I’m fucking obsessed with the game. I’ve never had to spend money on it and I’m already on a pretty high level. There’s actually loads of effort that goes into it now, and obviously if you pay money you get more things but the game is still incredibly enjoyable without spending a single penny.

I remember using a hack engine for the Kardashian game and would get infinite money on there, then would impress my friends by sending them gifts and all i was BALLIN

I know this video is a year old, but I was frothing at the mouth waiting for the Jeremy Renner app to be even mentioned.

Mike: Who do you think is the target audience for these games? Me: The gays. Mike: Teenage girls. Me: Oh...

Demi’s collaboration with Episode was the pinnacle of entertainment to me a few years ago. Episode is truly something else

Danny Gonzalez and Drew Gooden’s video about the Jeremy Renner app was the first place i heard about it, and in my mind they are the one’s responsible for the downfall of that app LOL

Kim Kardashian’s game even making the list for 100 best games of the decade is actually hilarious and iconic

I was actually there for one of Gordon Ramsey’s restaurant dash pre-launch parties. It was in a tiny art gallery in San Francisco and at the time I was working catering jobs. I showed up to this gig (not knowing what it was for), had my phone locked in a safe, and spent the next few hours passing out mini sliders made by Christina Wilson to G-Ram and the game developers. Good times! The sliders were delicious

To be fair, KK Hollywood was a very solid game. The art style was top notch, like serious props to the artist who worked on it, and the writing was pretty good (well up to a certain point, you can tell that after a while they just kind of wrote whatever they could think of), and it features really good character customization reminiscent of those 2000’s doll dressup games with new customization options being added regularly, something a younger femme gay version of me lost his shit over.

The only other thing I know about celeb apps is that drew gooden accidentally spent $46.99 on the Jeremy Renner app.

Are we forgetting an entire SIMS 3 pack made for Katy Perry???? Who asked for that

you unlocked a forgotten memory with that jeremy renner app fr.

Me, a 14 yo playing Kim's game: I don't think you understand, I'm obsessed

"Hey worstie" brought me back to life

My family would never allow me to play kim Kardashian’s game so I hid the game in private while playing the Demi Lavato episode game around them only 💀

Selena Gomez and Nick Jonas having their own quest lines in Wizard101 for a limited time and then their NPC’s just sitting in the game for ages. Kills me everytime you’re passing by them.

The “I found a game for baddies” game, needs a separate video to be discussed.

Your research era is thriving I feel like I’m in a college lecture but in the best way

okay but.. gaga’s taptap revenge games??? 10/10 slays. i miss them so much everyday

i used to have the katy perry game. there were chat rooms absolutely FLOODED with creepy old men trying to creep on little girls- and im pretty sure there was no filter system. fun times. i hope all the friends i made there are still ok to this day. i think i still remember one named lizard or something lmao.

MIKEYS NAILS LITERALLY GASLIGHT GATEKEEP GIRLBOSS we love to see it

Coming back to this video to say that because of this video, “worstie” is now part of my daily vocabulary to the point that I often forget it’s not something most people have heard, and I have confused friends and acquaintances by dropping it and forgetting to explain myself

I shouted "no" out loud when you gave the answer to what glu mobile sold for. I want to die

the lil nas x roblox concert was a truly unprecedented cultural milestone bringing together the disparate worlds of pop music and video games for the first time in history

Taylor fan here! The Swift Life was absolutely wild. A lot of creepy old guys were on it ("No school for me because I am 40" is iconic), along with the Trump fans you mentioned in the video. People would also just do really weird stuff to try and get Taylor's attention? And she just never used the app like was initially advertised, which was hilarious.

There was something oddly addicting to me about the Kim Kardashian game.. but what got me to quit was... I went on vacation for a weekend and didn't touch my phone, and when I came back my in-game bf was getting really possessive and I lost him? Lol. I was like, nah. I dont wanna play a game that requires I play daily and not have a life. I have enough of that.

i was one of the first people to hack the kim kardashian game almost immediately after release and had all my friends stumped on how i was always waiting on more updates to continue the story because i would just speed through everything. good times. also that demi lovato episode collab was a moment in herstory... literally changed my life it was so fun

If nicki had a dictionary app again she would literally make half of the new phrases people say shit we basically quote her memes everyday

The lack of The Sims 3: Katy Perry Sweet Treats recognition is criminal

I’m gonna be honest I clicked on this video to watch something while I look for a show on Netflix (idk why I’m like that physiologists are expensive) but after 3 minute I’ve somehow been completely enthralled in tidal. This is magic.

Kelly Clarkson had a karaoke app in like 2009 where fans could sing and compete to win the chance to sing on stage with Kelly on her tour. It really did pan out and fans got to sing with her at different shows

The Renner Files is a 6-part podcast that goes through the wildness of Jeremey Renner and his app. It's incredible! 10/10 would recommend

Did you just create “Hey worstie”? I’m absolutely using that

This culture fully passed by me. I was ✨not like other girls✨ who played Kingdom Hearts and listened to Vocaloid (I still do). Seeing what type of pop culture people were/are into is incredibly confusing, interesting, and sometimes infuriating.

I'm still advocating for the Paris Hilton Diamond Quest mobile game that I had in 2006, celeb games have never surpassed her

Hey worsties! Regarding the Kim K game, its actually a reskin of glu's older games called Stardom! It's no longer available but if I remember correctly, its exactly like the Kim K games minus any real life celebrities. Shout out to the girls in the back that remembers Stardom

This the the first vid I've found of yours, and can I just say, I get so excited to find a channel that makes me genuinely laugh. Can't wait to binge the whole channel lolz ❤️

i love that these videos are getting the recognition they DESERVE !! all of your vids deserve recognition regardless but ive noticed your view count has gone up, and this is very detailed, thought-through content so im glad your hard work is gaining you a wider platform :)) i love all the content you put out anyway. you could post a ten second video making whale sounds and i’d like it

Katy Perry also has her own expansion pack in sims 3 and she even recorded some of the songs in Simlish

NOT ME THINKING THIS WAS SPONSORED BY TIDAL FOR A HOT SECOND AJSKSKSJS

I just found ur channel a few days ago and It’s so relaxing. Thank u so much, I now listen to u while I’m winding down for bed, ur voice makes me feel less anxious abt sleeping every night lol

i LOVED the swiftlife, however I wasn’t a major creator/account on there. there were super cute custom emoji’s/stickers, and it was amazing to feel like we had a place to geek out about taylor without being hated on by kimye stans following the 2016 drama. we talked about concerts, memories, merch, theories, and favorites. if there was a better filter system to prevent bots/hateful comments, i would love to see it come back. the only negatives were that it was EXTREMELY hard to get noticed by anyone, but especially taylor. it was seemingly the same people/group of people getting noticed that had already met her or been noticed by her. there were occasionally giveaways on there for “top fans” which were the same people over and over again. but i would love to see a comeback app from miss swift with the same concept, i think it would be amazing!!!

I was just thinking about kim's app and her "hey bestie!". Is that where the bestie culture came from?

the Red Velvet Bad Boy intro is peak I have a master’s degree energy

I love this videos so much i feel like im talking to a friend and they genuinely make me smile

This is the first video of yours i am watching and i'm subscribing already, you are FABULOUS and i love it !!

yeah, kim kardashian hollywood is good but does anyone remember demi lovato’s episode series 💀

"There was drama in the Jeremy Renner fandom" -- the way i just spat coffee over these expensive electronics -- and then the Jeremy Renner app divorce announcement?????!!! I MAY NEVER BREATHE AGAIN 💀

I found the super long videos and now I’m just working my way through all the videos until you post new ones!! Woohoo love these so much

I just want to say your editing is on point. It makes everything 10 times better!

I literally only stopped playing Kim Kardashian Hollywood cuz my ipod bent in half... I still have withdrawal. It was supposed to be a haha meme to get it but I had it for 7 years😳😳😳 I spent no money 👀👀👀

bestie the nails are GIVING, DELIVERING, and SERVING

I went to the Artpop and Chromatica concerts and they still are the best concerts I have ever been to, WE WERE ROBBED of all that promo stuff omg

There’s actually quite a few video games from the late 90s and early 2000s centered around hip hop artists. The record label DefJam had a series of games that had Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes and a bunch of other singers There were two 50 Cent games that were 3rd person shooters that told a glamorized story of when 50 Cent got shot. Also there was a Wu Tang Clan beat-em-up where every member had a fighting style based on the style of rapping they had.

“you’d have to find a fanbase that was dedicated enough to actually buy the game…….owa owa owa oooh ohhh”

the taylor app was SO messy omfg. taylor was still active on tumblr so everyone just stayed on there & interactions on that app meant nothing because no one was on it. i honestly never heard of the trump stans invading the app but it was just annoying ppl trying to get her attention on there so i believe it

there was also a dolan twins story on episode that i remember like a horrible fever dream where you basically had a love story with the twins and like chose between ethan and grayson…it was very wattpad fanfic inspired where both twins were in love with you

This was the video that made me realize I wasn't subscribed. Criminal. But mostly came to say I love every and anything you talk about and you help me open up ❤

Mike: “Who would you say is the target audience of Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj in the early to mid 2010s? *drumroll*” Me: the gays Mike: “...teenage girls” Me: oh *EDIT*: just so it’s clear, I’m both a Girl and a Gay™️ myself lol

Kim K Hollywood had me by the neck for way too long. My depression had manifested in obsessively doing the weekend challenges to unlock her hairstyle from two MET galas ago AMA

Words cannot describe how much I love your channel Mike

As a first time viewer I was SO taken aback by directly being called out by my first name. I'm crying 😂

miss Mike for the "games which use someone likeness w/o their permission", is worth remembering that time Lady Gaga sued Moshi Monsters

the funniest thing abt kim k hollywood imo is it while it spurring those spinoffs with other celebs, it wasn't even the first edition of the game. stardom: the a-list and stardom: hollywood were pretty much the same game without the starpower. they said we want to create a fun fresh casual roleplaying game and then dropped her into a game that they had launched in 2011.

youre like the funniest most entertaining person in this website aaaaaaaaaaaa love u mic's mike

In fairness, to this day, Tidal still pays its artists more than any other streaming services per track play.

Bestie, the real question is when the Mikes Mic app will be released…

omfg kk hollywood had my and my friends’ THROAT in year 8. had us changing the date on our phones to automatically get more energy to continue playing
