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.
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?
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*
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 @@bendler0 i respect you but; ew wavywebsurf is nothing like nick!
True
I'm 2 minutes in and there hasn't been a ticket to Japan booked.
"So I booked a ticket to Russia,"
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
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
Harmva actually takes commissions. He did a Joker Asuka Version of my OC.
Very based
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💯
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
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

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.
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?
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.
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
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.

@@BlatantThrowAway CZcams 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
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.
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!
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
NO WAY, THAT TWIST ENDING OF HIM DRAWING THE NEW PFP
also you bet your ass I’m getting some of those stickers
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 CZcamsrs 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.
i love how everything ties together in the nick robinson universe LMFAO
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
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
The fact harmva drew your very Profile Picture is such a great plot twist
he is so beautiful 😭😭😭
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
He seems like a nice chill dude
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.
bro im sorry but he is GORGEOUS
NAH, FRFR. HE ANSWERED AND I WENT "oh hello. Damn."
@@AshOrSmthnIdk SAME LEGIT
9:20 FUCK I DID NOT EXPECT HIM TO BE HOT
ME NEITHER
holy sigma
I aint gay, however
💀
RIGHT WHAT TBE FUCK
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!
Shinji get in the goddamn Batmobile…
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.
omg, its Harmva, he did some amazing Joms edits, I love this guy
PERFECT. Need that Asuka content from the Binbows dude!
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.
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
You really sat on the knowledge that your PFP was created by the Joker Asuka guy for MULTIPLE YEARS!!!!
Nice
Bro #0:06 that music sheesh what kinda version of a cruels angels thesis is thattttt
i know, a while back i tried to reach out to the artist behind it but she never responded
this whole time I thought that was a real picture of you, seeing it in full size really allowed me to appreciate the artwork
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
no fricking way, harmva made your profile picture!!!
Thats AWESOME!
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.
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.
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!
that twist at the end was actually insane bro
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
Hell yeah, HARMVA got justice
wonderful video. Bless Harmva for being patient with the video. Also the Laika music in the background is very good taste
So this is what fear of the unknown feels like.
If you ever want an Internet mystery to be solved, you find Nick, from Michaelsoft Bonbows to Jaoker Asuka.
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
"a lot of things that I like are kind of jokes, but not really" -- that's my whole life man
nick always comes up with the most random subjects and always makes it entertaining. goat 🐐
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.
Everyone seeing Joker Asuka : Men this is deep ... society ...
Harmva : Funny Asuka lol
oh god he’s hot
LMAO I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO NOTICED 😩
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. ❤
It's really sweet you got to give this guy his deserved 5 minutes of fame
What the hell am I waiting for 😭
Edit: The title was "Joker Asuka" and only that before the premier, Lol!
The plot twist at the end about your profile picture being drawn by this artist....whoa
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.
It’s honestly ironic that if you go to his CZcams he still doesn’t have a lot of subscribers 😭 give this man the spotlight he deserves fr!
Nick, I absolutely love your content. Your videos are probably some of the only videos that I can watch all of the way through.
I love this channel because it exposes me to the most random shit on the fringe of my regular interests.
I'm still baffled that harmva _made your pfp_
Nick your channel is definitely my favorite. You never cease to make me care so deeply about silly Internet things.
Get in the society, Shinji.

somehow a better synopsis than the actual quote!
This is so wholesome I just can't stop smiling
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.
Thank you for featuring me! 1:29
Having things stolen is so hard and as a creator / artist i totally understand how hard that is. thank you for shedding light
No way thats you
No way thats you
@@Axolitics that is me i swear!
@@Axolitics it is dude
Great choice to use Laika OST, it was such a shock hearing it after it just came out. Great game of course
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 :/
The fact that he created the channel icon is an amazing suprise
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
Truly appreciate this video as I have had a similar experience to Harmva
0:30 LMFAOO WHY DO YOU HAVE A BABYTRON POKÉMON CARD
This really is one of the most wholesome channels out there. Always a good time watching nick robinson
We must protect this man. ❤ He's so sweet and kind hearted. PROTECT AT ALL COSTS!
had it as my pfp for too long and i saw this 😂
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.
3:08 Using Footage from a japanese Joker JAV is CRAZY lmao
Nick has just been out here doing the lords work, discovering people who never got their credit and righting those wrongs. just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling :3
"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.
Volodya deserves every penny he will get
wow, he's REALLY good! all the art of his you showed looked super good!
For sure my favorite youtube creator right now. Pappy, the michaelsoft saga and now this one. Keep it up man!
God I love this channel so much. This is unbelievably cool.
