Why try to be like Criken or STAR? Develop your own natural style.
Because everyone thought he was funny. Everyone thought that the screwed up Hank hill asking for a picture of a hot dog was funny and that was only a few seconds long. The comments also got spammed with the zalgo crap. I made the video in 2 hours with After Effects and it got about 100k views a month (relatively, not much but still) Atleast now I know it doesn't always work. Thanks.
"Jpeg Hank Hill" worked because it was a popular response to bad quality images for a while, and popular reaction videos that are timed well get shared a lot. Also short videos can be repeated a lot more.
You can use other youtube icons for inspiration, but never try to emulate. Find a style that it is your own. Taking things from other people and working it in so it fits is fine. Just don't try to be just like them.
Good TFC Montage [video=youtube;_91f8QNTaHY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_91f8QNTaHY[/video]
If your selling point is "attempt to be like this popular person," no one will take you seriously, and you're doomed to fail.
