The '5 YouTubers Who Have Sworn!' meme is a satirical take on the sensationalist clickbait videos that dominated YouTube in the mid-2010s. It typically features a lineup of 'wholesome' or family-friendly content creators alongside dramatic, red-circled thumbnails and shocked facial expressions. The humor stems from the absurdity of treating a single swear word as a career-ending scandal, poking fun at the exaggerated drama of 'top 10' style countdown channels. Users often customize this template to include friends or unexpected celebrities, highlighting the goofy nature of early YouTube 'exposed' culture.
