KYM Review: The Top 10 Streamer Moments Of 2021

This year was a fantastic one for streaming content. Due to the pandemic, there were more people than ever before at home watching streams, and as restrictions started to lessen, the creators were able to get bolder in the type of content they wanted to produce.

Many streamers sought each other out for collaboration moments, which is where many of the entries on this list come from. There was also a resurgence in creative, inspiring content this year more than others before it, as the so-called "hot tub meta" was really only one facet of Twitch and many other forms of content were explored.

Though the first seven entries on this list are in no particular order, the final three are truly the three best moments in 2021's streaming catalog, and the VODs are worth watching.

Snoop Dogg Rage Quits Game

World famous rap artist and musical icon, Snoop Dogg kicks off this list with a humorous moment captured while he was playing a game of Madden after a bad play happened, resulting in a classic gamer rage quit moment that was transformed into an exploitable meme format this year.

Dunkey React To Mario Cast

A mainstay in the gaming community, Videogamedunkey had a very emotional reaction to the release of the untitled Mario movie with his reaction growing stronger with each reveal.

God Run 2

After two years and seven months, The Happy Hob became the first and only (so far) person to complete every Souls game, Bloodborne and Sekiro Shadows Die Twice in a single run without getting hit once by an enemy.

Critical Role Season 2 Concludes

Critical Role, widely recognized as the most famous game of Dungeons & Dragons in existence thanks to voice actor Matthew Mercer and his group of fellow voice actors, had its season two campaign conclude in 2021 after three years. Season three also started shortly after and is still ongoing.

Kiryu Coco Graduation

One of the most well-known Japanese HoloLive VTubers, Kiryu Coco held her graduation ceremony on June 9th earlier this year, which essentially meant her retirement from being a VTuber. Though an official reason was not given, many in her fanbase and HoloLive fans, in general, say there is much more to the story than is widely known, with many expressing their sadness to see her go last summer through an outpouring of tributes and memes.

RichCampbell Caught In 4K, Says "I Love Soccer"

During the month of October, the streaming organization One True King hosted a collaborative event in which streamers from its own network, as well as independents, would play competitive sports on teams. During the soccer showdown, commentator RichCampbell, who was in the middle of a multi-day stream from inside his closet, became distracted and enamored during a skirmish between Alinity and Emiru, with everyone roasting him for it after the fact in one of the most memorable streaming moments all year.

Ludwig's Subathon Recap Video

On March 14th, streamer Ludwig Ahgren started a "subathon" in which he would not stop streaming until a timer counted down, with each new sub adding more time to the timer. He eventually ended up going for over an entire month and became the most subbed person on Twitch because of it.

Will Neff's "Price Is Scuffed" Freak Out

On PayMoneyWubby's gameshow, called "The Price Is Scuffed," streamer and contestant Will Neff was given the chance to putt a golf ball to win $6,000. After fellow streamer Jschlatt disrupts the putt three times, Will Neff has a hilarious meltdown on set, creating a hilarious moment.

Sodapoppin's Wrong Answer on "Mogul Money"

On Ludwig's gameshow "Mogul Money," in which fellow streamers answer questions in a similar fashion to Jeopardy! for points, Sodapoppin gifted the streaming world with another memorable moment of 2021. In the category of presidential last names, Sodapoppin went for the biggest point question and then guessed his own middle name when even given a clue as to what the real answer was, much to the dismay of the fellow contestants.

Jerma Dollhouse Stream

The streamer Jerma did a special type of livestream in which he pretended to be a video game character in a dollhouse, with the chat donating money to have control over even the most mundane of actions. The event quickly spiraled out of control and became the absolute most spectacular stream of 2021.

Honorable Mentions

PayMoneyWubby Lie Detector

Longtime streamer PayMoneyWubby did a stream where he was hooked up to a more elaborate and complicated lie detector and test administrator, then asked several personal and revealing questions about himself and friends.

Ludwig Discussing Tax Evasion

During a stream in which Ludwig was bidding in a charity auction for an hour with the streamer Shroud, Ludwig loudly talked at length to his financial officer about the potential to defraud the IRS by claiming the charity donation as a "double tax write-off" while live.

AsmonGold First FFXIV Stream

Veteran World of Warcraft player Asmongold decided to try out FFXIV in early July. His first experience playing the game was positive, noting that he liked the mechanics and story, but the first few days were engulfed with him being inundated by player harassment, helping pave the way for Blizzard's steep decline.
