Mike Matei, the co-founder of Cinemassacre and long-time collaborator of the Angry Video Game Nerd, became an internet meme icon primarily through his eccentric solo content and bizarre humor. The most enduring memes stem from his 'Mike's Game Reviews' series, specifically his awkward impressions of Inspector Gadget and Elmo. Phrases like 'Brown bricks in Minecraft' and 'Mineycrafta' turned into viral catchphrases within the retro gaming and shitposting communities. These memes often parody his high-energy delivery and the surreal nature of his early YouTube appearances, cementing his legacy as a source of unintentional comedy and cult internet culture.
