Rewind

Yaahhhh. It’s rewind time. Yeah, if I control rewind, I would want… Fortnite… and Mark Ass Brown Lee

The wise words of popular actor and celebrity Will Smith during his surprise guest appearance in YouTube Rewind 2018: Everyone Controls Rewind. The video, as of November 2025, has amassed over 20 million dislikes, by far one of the most hated YouTube videos of all time.

Perhaps this intro by Smith has angered the masses, setting a silly tone for a once beloved yearly YouTube tradition. Smith’s introduction of well known tech reviewer Marques Brownlee was especially hated given his mispronunciation of admired influencer’s name.

Furthermore, the reference to Epic Games’ hit title Fortnite stirred discontent in the wider audience, who questioned Smith’s otherwise unc status for making note of such a hip, popular game.

The world will never know the directions and turns taken as a result of this video, and YouTube rewind has never been the same since.
