Within two years, the video gained over 3.2 million views and 9,500 comments (shown below, left). On September 13th, he uploaded a sequel titled "Windows 7 Destruction" video (shown below, right).

On November 2nd, Joel created the vargskelethor stream on Twitch.[2] after all the vinesauce streamers created their individual channels, prior to this they all streamed on the same channel, but now use the twitch "team" function.

Channel Hijack

On November 4th, 2015, Joel's YouTube and Twitch channels were compromised by a hacker, who marked the channel with his signature and uploaded three videos mocking the channel's subscribers.

Bonzi Buddy

Bonzi Buddy was an adware and virtual desktop assistant featuring an on-screen avatar of a talking purple gorilla that could interact with its users and run simple utility services like text-to-speech and download management. The character saw a resurgence in popularity in the Vinesauce community after Joel downloaded the software during his destruction of a Microsoft Windows XP operating system in 2014.



MP3 to MIDI Remixes

MP3 to MIDI Remixes are MP3 audio files that have been converted into MIDI format, which typically results in a poorly-remixed version of the song wherein all instrumental and vocal tracks are replaced with oversimplified synth notes. The practice of making these files was popularized by Joel during his "Windows 8 Destruction" stream in July 2015.



Grand Dad

Grand Dad (formerly named 7 GRAND DAD) is an infamous Famicom bootleg of The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy. It became famous during Joel’s “Insane Mario Bootleg Games” stream, and is a recurring Vinesauce in-joke.



Joel's Father

Joel's Father is an inside joke within the Vinesauce community, who often associate Joel's father with Kermit the Frog. His father is also notable in the community due to a story told during the "Windows XP Destruction" video, in which Joel's father asks if he was "downloading boobs again."

Duane

Joel first encountered Duane during his stream of M.U.G.E.N. after discovering Duane as a playable character. Its gif is often used on Joel's Twitch.tv streams and has various remakes related to inside jokes.
