Nintendo hires a random 5 year old and promotes them to CEO is a video released on July 16, 2021 by the Aurk channel.
The video tells this story :
''Nintendo hires a random 5 year old and promote them to CEO'' is a video created by Aurk channel, released on July 16, 2021, and accumulated almost 2 million views in 2 months. The video parodies the game ''Game Builder Garage'', a video game editor created by Nintendo. The video features a 5 year old child buying the game Game Builder Garage, and naming his first creation precisely :
''TIMMeys epi C COOLcl gamAE!!1!'', meaning Timmy's epic cool game.
The video then shows Timmy (the main character in the video) adding the move feature to his character.
Triggered by the fact that Reggie Fils-Aimé, the ex-CEO of Nintendo of America, enters the room to propose to Timmy to release his game on the Nintendo Switch. The game will quickly become a huge success, against the wishes of the main character, who only wanted to test Game Builder Garage.
When he arrived at home, Timmy played Game Builder Garage again, with his door blocked by wooden boards, so that nobody would come and talk to him again.
He adds the skip function, and Reggie Fils-Aimé reappears and bequeaths his CEO position to Timmy, before taking off like a rocket.
The video ends with Timmy throwing Game Builder Garage in the trash.

The video was one of the few videos of Aurk to exceed one million views in such a short time.
The popularity of the video has obviously generated parodies and memes.

There have been a few videos where people have had fun recreating Timmy's Epic Cool Game (which is not very complicated) and testing it.
A channel named Timmy's Epic Cool Game was created 1 month after Aurk's video and contains videos of Timmy's character playing his own game, for example.

Another video from CrazyWarriorBros' channel features a video of a gamer disappointed by the absence of Timmy's Epic Cool Game on the Nintendo eShop.
Another video from Ali Makes Content's channel had fun creating another video where another kid created a poor game but still received immense attention.
Another video from Squeby :D channel featured Big Chungus playing the game finding it beautiful and splendid and excellent. But the most seen video is still the original.
