In addition to the implications earlier described, YouTube clips have succeeded in coining certain expressions, characters, behaviors that were copied by the audience. For example, the Hong Kong Bus uncle case in which a middle-aged man - Chan Yuet Tung reacted furiously to a young passenger's request to lower his voice while traveling by bus, had a tremendous effect.
