Harmva’s story is pretty much the meme of someone telling a joke and getting no response, but another person repeats the joke louder and it gets attention.
That happens in everyday life. Someone does a thing and it gets ignored but someone steals the thing and it gets noticed.
That’s rlly jus the entire internet
hypotenuse
My “friend” does that every time i tell a joke in class and he says he is making me famous but he doesn’t credit me?
@@AdachiCabbage Mona Lisa wasn't famous until it was stolen.
Hi c:
I’m Vladimir’s wife, it’s been really fun watching this video and I’m glad that harmva is finally being recognised.
It’s been 3 years, his art style and skills have improved a lot since then, and I’m very proud of him.
Thanks for all your support and thanks to Nick for making this video, you’re the best!
No, I am.
@@Pizouno you're not
@@harmva lmao
@@harmva everyone wants to be your wife!
@@Game_Hero well too bad
Most humble guy ive seen online. You could tell he was really trying to break through the language barrier, too. His english is really good. I know how it is when you mostly speak a second language in text. Speaking naturally out loud can be tough when you have to think of certain words.
Most non English speakers go through this
@@OkarinHououinKyouma Yep, my english text is probably better than my native language text as I use English in text more often than my native language. But spoken? Oh boi! I, of course, understand spoken English just as well as written English, but if I have to pronounce English words... I maybe misspronounce all the vowels? IDK spoken English is weird, in my native tongue vowels are always pronounced with the same sound, same for consonant, so it is written as it is spoken, you could write any random string of characters and just from the string, you would know the correct pronunciation. English is not that way, sometimes things are pronounced the germanic way, sometimes the latin way and sometimes their own cryptic way. Pronouncing English is real hard when one is used to a language were pronunciation is consistent, in my native tongue I do not remember the pronunciation of words, I just imagine the written word in my head and read them out loud with the default pronunciation of each letter and it works 100% of the time, but with English that is impossible, pronunciation is word dependent and at this point is to hard to unlearn the act of imagining the written word and reading it out loud. I managed to fix my pronunciation for the most common words, but if you take me away from those I just have to fallback on to pronouncing them as they would be pronounced in my native language, a thing that is 70% of the time wrong.
But really, why had to be English the international language, I love the written English, it uses a lot less contractions than my native tongue and is easy to create derivative new words, it has a lot of vocabulary to express very specific things and the way that a lot of meaning is context dependent makes it beautiful to write and read. My mother tongue is overly descriptive, using a lot of words to say very little and nearly nothing is contextual, it also is a pain to create derivative words because you can't, you can't just transform sustantives to verbs and verbs to adjectives by adding -ing or -ish or similar things, so I love English for how much can be said in a few words without going insane in context like the Chinese. I dread reading in my mother language because it's a drag. But for the horker of satan why does English has to be such a pain to pronounce? Why can't we have an international language that is as concise and flexible as English but at the same time is completely consistent in the pronunciation?
/rant about english over.
Woah that's interesting, I've never even considered that. His command of the English language is basically as good as it gets, but you do get the impression he probably doesn't speak it as much as he writes because of his sort of careful approach to speaking it, esp since you have to be able to recall words and phrases on the spot/mind-sentence
Very similar to how people learn a second language thru watching subtitles. They understand but have difficulty coming up with the right words and speaking it in real time
I am fluent in english but despite that i just can't find the words sometimes, it's not at all like when i speak swedish normally but my thoughts are actually mostly in english for some reason.
It's crazy how far Christian Bale transforms his body for his roles, he successfully de-aged himself to portray Harmva.
Literally what I was thinking with some of his facial expressions. Straight out of the Bateman role.
Haha
Oh My God, It Even Has A Watermark.
@@TropeHatComicsdoesn’t*
13:43 look top right corner it's my original creation "joms"
Sir they posted a Joms
Wait this only has one reply you’re the main character
Joms
He IS the main character!
Hope you're doing well, you've touched so many even if most didnt know
Gotta love Nick still editing and posting projects he started 3 years ago
How did you know the exact period of time
@@Head-ball789 because nick changed his profile picture to the picture harmva drew for him 3 years ago
That's what I was thinking, imagine what Harmva was thinking about the entire time lmao (still love Nick tho)
Yeah I hope he warned Harmva he was posting this or something, imagine getting like 5 sales from this store over the course of a few years… and then this video posts without warning, and loads of new sales come in, and you have to question where all this money is coming from 😭😭😭
Why did it take 3 years to make this video?
The complete lack of context makes me scared
🤷♂️It Happens.
I'm aroused. Clearly there are two kinds of people.
yo are u single
I know what you are
i just want you@@beeswall1291
I feel like Harmva's tale is a tale of so many artists and meme creators on the internet. The amount of art and memes that get reposted over and over again without the original artist/meme creator getting any credit is insane. Even putting a watermark/signature on your work can't prevent this from happening because someone will just edit it out.
Gonna cry?
@@Felix-ix7ic What makes you think they were crying?
@@MeemahSN What makes you think I think they were crying?
Nick Robinson, you are a pioneer of internet journalism. I think you're one of the only people who reports on things that exist only on the internet and matter only to internet users. It seems that a lot of internet based stories are only seen as significant because of some real life impact that they had, but your content recognizes and celebrates the humanity present in online culture, and I think it makes it seem a little more real to all of us.
Yep agreed!
He reports on things that would be lost to time otherwise. Its pretty nice.
THIS 🎉 so damn true
Also @@bradley3123 i respect you but; ew wavywebsurf is nothing like nick!
True
We live in a society Shinji, now get in the robot.
Your friends love you, get in the robot
Alternative:
We live in a robot Shinji, now get in the society
We need more people like you doing weirdly specific journalism
if you know any other channels like this one plz lmk, the other ones I can think of are hazel and izzzyzzz. I need more lol
@@apricotenvy pleasee tell me more of these type of channels if you have em
you need an audience for it however
I'm 2 minutes in and there hasn't been a ticket to Japan booked.
"So I booked a ticket to Russia,"
9:20 FUCK I DID NOT EXPECT HIM TO BE HOT
ME NEITHER
holy sigma
I aint gay, however
Harmva actually takes commissions. He did a Joker Asuka Version of my OC.
Very based
The fact that not only the UK seller credited the correct guy, but that the creator also is a Russian guy who speaks amazing English is insane.
right?? like nick always seems to have pretty good luck in his videos searching for things. makes me wonder how many searches of his hit dead ends
I love how you take a banal, random or insignificant subject and make a video about it, but this time it made a lot of sense that you wanted to credit the artist, incredible work
as an artist, i can't thank you enough for not only working hard to credit us for popular stolen work, but also paying multiple real artists to design your merch AND shouting them out in your content. i've never sold art myself for fear of something like this happening with my work, but it's great to see things getting better one person like you at a time💯
"But remember, you can lift weights all you want, but Asuka Langley will never be real." - Dean Norris (2022)
Anyone got a link to this?
@@BlatantThrowAway RUclips won't let me share it, but the title for the short video is "Hank Schrader Asuka Langley will never be real cameo".
@@jam_online thank you
As an artist myself, I never want something like this to happen to me. None of my work gets posted without my pseudonym. 😭
Do you have an Instagram where you post your art?
@@flavorfulsoups I'm on DeviantArt.
Nick, what makes your content so great is that though I’ve never watched Eva, listened to Hatsune Miku, or played Driver: San Francisco, the way you tell your stories is compelling, entertaining, and genuine. Keep up the great content!
you should watch eva!! it'll change your life pinky promise
Don't listen to penguin rather play driver san francisco it's a banger
Really showcases the consequences of the Internet for artists. I hope that Harmva gets all the pay for this creation he deserves.
If he does, that’s how I know, “God is in heaven, all is right with the world.”
perfect comment
@@babylonian had to find a way to fit an Eva reference in there. I just love the franchise and this was an amazing video I didn’t know I needed.
Credit? Yes. Pay? I mean, he's taking two separate characters who belong to massive media companies and blending them together. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
@@killua5676yes pay. the characters aren’t his but the drawings are original. people sell their versions of fanart all the time. it’s a little different from written fan fiction i would think due to the kind of skill it takes to draw something on top of drawing known characters vs the skill it takes to write known characters. even though neither of them are easy to do well.
slightly off-topic but do you guys think god stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?
Holy shit, i've been watching your channel for years now and i had NO CLUE your profile pic was art! I assumed it was a photo with a filter! Props to harmva for it, looks dope and props to you for finding him, truly a hidden gem of an artist
Same here! Totally thought it was a filtered photo. But now every time I see it I'll think of harmva.
This is the first time since Piss and Poo’d On that I have absolutely no idea what is going to happen in a Nick Robinson video
Its all quite explainable
@@jainfarstrider8754Proceed to explain pls
you should find who created the gangsta spongebob image.
i feel like it must have been the work of one of those shopping mall airbrush t shirt artists
@@davespriterdon’t know the backstory of the image myself but I can’t help but confirm that this is 100% correct
@@Ahahashirnah it was me
"I would love to"
That hit me right in the feels.
How has no one pointed out that the artist who made fucking Joker Asuka is incredibly hot???
Ah nah
I was expecting a average looking dude and it turns out he looks like a model
Dude he can get it
@@madvillain5536
he looks like average young guy from Moscow or Saint Petersburg. Do Americans really?
@@eruno_ if hes an average young guy from moscow or saint petersburg i need to go there immediately
We live in a society where artists aren't credited 😞
To be fair, once it becomes viral, if the artist didn't sign their name on it it's pretty difficult to find the original, I mean, that's shown directly in the video.
It's only going to get worse with AI
To be fair, the way he was found was via somebody crediting him on an Instagram post
Amazing. The entire video I kept thinking "where have I heard the name harmva?", and then as soon as you revealed it I realized it was from when I read your pfp credit years ago.
Damn I can't be the only one to notice Harmva is handsome af. Dude could've been a model but went for art.
He looks like Christian Bale
This is exactly the feeling I had when I made a Bionicle Waluigi. I took a quick pic on a messy table and didn't add a watermark, but now it gets shared back to the same socials that I first shared it on lol, even RUclipsrs were reacting to it. It's not that I want a lot of acknowledgement, but there's more photos than that first one and I even put together instructions that I think people would enjoy.
Why do 70% of your videos make me tear up. Always making video's on subjects the internet would have no idea about if you didn't. You are a solid one Nick!
NO WAY, THAT TWIST ENDING OF HIM DRAWING THE NEW PFP
also you bet your ass I’m getting some of those stickers
i love how everything ties together in the nick robinson universe LMFAO
bro im sorry but he is GORGEOUS
Shinji get in the goddamn Batmobile…
I hope Harmva gets another chance at virality but this time with recognition. And to you Nick, you've done a good job in filling in the gap between the art and the artist on the internet, it's only at the end when you pointed it out that I noticed that of a lot of your videos have the same mission of giving credit to the sources of our favourite things on the internet. Big ups
He seems like a nice chill dude
I love how things go down in this channel, the fact that the channel image icon turnwd out to have an origin storywith some plot twists and all blows my mind.
That was a rollercoaster. first, I was incredibly confused, then I got super invested, and then the massive plot twist at the very end was insane
I think people have long noticed that several of your videos began years ago, whether it be this, McDonalds DS, Scott interview, and much more. So many of these videos go back to 2020 and beyond. It makes me excited for other things you have planned.
Everyone seeing Joker Asuka : Men this is deep ... society ...
Harmva : Funny Asuka lol
As an artist who has had their art reposted without credit (though on a much smaller scale), I feel this. Always watermark any art you post publicly, even if it's just a joke.
What a truly terrifying rendition of Cruel Angel's Thesis at the start there Nick. Thanks for that
anyone have sauce ? googling "Jennifer Walton - Cruel Angel's Thesis, Jokerfied" did nothing.
oh god he’s hot
LMAO I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO NOTICED 😩
THANK YOU SO MUCH NICK! Artist Mis- or An-attribution has been the one thing about internet culture that has always bothered me like no other. I genuinely believe that you, with the work you do in almost every video, have done some of the most important healing to the internet as a whole. YOU'RE MY HERO and an amazing role model. 😄❤ Gonna buy some stickers and posters for sure!
Even though he doesn’t feel he owns it, he remixed artwork to create a parody. It’s still art, and it clearly resonates with people. Surely that has some merit/value.
omg, its Harmva, he did some amazing Joms edits, I love this guy
no fricking way, harmva made your profile picture!!!
Thats AWESOME!
It's a shame that an artist doesn't get enough credit for their work, which becomes internet meme status.
One other example that I can think of, and has a similar story to this, is the cat dancing meme. As far as I know, it's evolution went like this:
- No one's around to help (Animal Crossing thing)
- Hat in Time dance to the same song
- Cat Dance meme.
The artist is known as cuptoast (they're also a streamer, check them out if you want), and that meme has been unaccredited to them for quite a while. They try their best trying to spread the word, but, that meme has reached a viral status that is difficult to contain.
There's an entire culture around remixing Evangelion into all sorts of other media it's insane. It really ferls like it took off harder during the pandemic. Like the Shinji Soulja Boy memes had a resurgence. I also noticed it had a big crossover with a lot of car and baseball related memes.
PERFECT. Need that Asuka content from the Binbows dude!
The fact harmva drew your very Profile Picture is such a great plot twist
You really sat on the knowledge that your PFP was created by the Joker Asuka guy for MULTIPLE YEARS!!!!
Nice
So this is what fear of the unknown feels like.
he is so beautiful 😭😭😭
I'm gonna cry, a lil video like this should not make me cry... as an artist that has dealt with art theft before personally, thank you. You are such an amazing person in general, but especially for this. Thank you.
oh no, he's hot
What the hell am I waiting for 😭
Edit: The title was "Joker Asuka" and only that before the premier, Lol!
Hell yeah, HARMVA got justice
If you ever want an Internet mystery to be solved, you find Nick, from Michaelsoft Bonbows to Jaoker Asuka.
this whole time I thought that was a real picture of you, seeing it in full size really allowed me to appreciate the artwork
that twist at the end was actually insane bro
This really is one of the most wholesome channels out there. Always a good time watching nick robinson
3:08 Using Footage from a japanese Joker JAV is CRAZY lmao
"a lot of things that I like are kind of jokes, but not really" -- that's my whole life man
This is so cool of you finding him. Hate it got so popular without him being credited. I’d love a print of it to put up on my wall. The illustration he made of you is so good! Edit: i typed before the end of the video where you showed a poster haha
Internet artists really have it rough, creating a lot of images people use daily and never getting recognition or monetary gain from it. I'm glad you're trying to correct the situation for one of these cases.
If I had a nickel every time someone wrongly commented that his name is Vladislav I could retire comfortably. Work on your listening comprehension folks.
Nick, I absolutely love your content. Your videos are probably some of the only videos that I can watch all of the way through.
you're telling me this video had been in the works for 3 YEARS??? It feels like forever ago that the youtube profile picture got updated
wow, he's REALLY good! all the art of his you showed looked super good!
Duuude, in the back of my mind I've been meaning to ask you who did your YT pfp because it goes insanely hard and I would love something like that for me. Now I know who did it AND the origin of Joker Asuka, thanks Nick.
Love the rhythm thief pfp
@@acidravy Hell yeah
Ye
My man cannot make a video without an insane twist I swear
"No one knows who drew it." You can't fool me, I know Nick Robinson knows who drew it. If anyone knows, it's him.
Really awesome of you to help him out with the stuff and I hope a lot of people will buy it!
If you'd asked me 24 minutes ago what i imagined a Joker art creator to be like, i would not have come up with the gem of a guy. ❤
God I love this channel so much. This is unbelievably cool.
Get in the society, Shinji.

somehow a better synopsis than the actual quote!
0:30 LMFAOO WHY DO YOU HAVE A BABYTRON POKÉMON CARD
7:07 ok joker asuka is a banger BUT HOW ARE WE IGNORING DAVID BOWIE ASUKA ON HER SIDEEEEEEE
reminds me of the boykisser meme, found the creator and they're clearly upset too. ive been crediting them every chance i could. its worse with tiktok now too :/
nick always comes up with the most random subjects and always makes it entertaining. goat 🐐
That surprise at the end with your pfp being drawn by him is actually so cool and caught me off guard because I would have thought this took place a few weeks ago or something. Very cool!
I'm an artist and I couldn't tell you how grateful I am for giving the story of harmva a happy ending. Credit often gets lost the more an artwork circulates on the internet and tracking back the steps all the way to the original poster/artist can take an enormous ammount of work and patience. Credit artists, photographers or just meme creators every chance you get. It's the cool thing to do
I'm still baffled that harmva _made your pfp_
It's really sweet you got to give this guy his deserved 5 minutes of fame
Another amazing video Nick
Awesome showcasing Vladimir, great video!
I love this channel because it exposes me to the most random shit on the fringe of my regular interests.
The plot twist at the end about your profile picture being drawn by this artist....whoa
Amazing video as always, Nick. Thank you for what you do, these internet rabbithole-investiagtion-whatever type videos are fucking incredible
nice joker asuka history, thanks nick!
This is so wholesome I just can't stop smiling
One of the most surreal things that can happen to you online is making something, and then encountering someone else with it as your profile photo. I remember one time I edited the knight from fire emblem to look like the among us crewmate and someone else in a Mekkah server just, looked like that. It felt really weird.
this video definetely helps with fixing the issue and giving the images proper credit. A lot of us do still care even if we are not most people.
We have databases online, now it should be much easier for anyone to find out who made this image thanks to these databases (like the boorus, knowyourmeme, and other websites who always credit the source). While damage is done, I think this video effectively solved the problem. Thanks for what you do Nick.
Man, this specific type of content is fire.
wonderful video. Bless Harmva for being patient with the video. Also the Laika music in the background is very good taste
Ugh the sudden drop of info at the end really rattles me. Like seriously! I've always enjoyed looking at your profile picture and somehow this all comes full circle. Bless the artist's heart for being this patient, truly a humble human being.
Watch, before you know it... in 2+ years he's going to have a Kamiya interview waiting for us.
you always manage to have a twist by the end of your videos, that's so crazy that the pfp we've been looking at this entire time was made by the joker asuka guy
I always try my best to credit artists whenever I can. I really respect the work they do and if me sharing their art with their tag means they get even one more follower that's great! I wish I had infinite money to commission all of them and pay for their merch or patreons, but sharing their art around with their name attached to it is the least I can do to get art out there that I appreciate and hope others will too.
Thanks for supporting artists, Nick!
Volodya deserves every penny he will get
