It’s hard to believe, but 2012 is over—well there’s just a few hours left in the year, but in places like Bangkok, 2013 is already here.

Instead of doing a year in review, let’s do something a little more interesting: Let’s take a look at 10 people that you didn’t know existed on January 1, 2012.

So basically people that were made famous throughout 2012.

10. Aly Raisman

Aly Raisman become known during the 2012 Olympics in London—and I’ll tell you one thing, this gold-medal winning gymnast is 18-years-old, so I can legally have a crush on her.

9. Michelle Jenneke

 

Just enjoy the picture…That’s all that I can say.

Oh yeah, we wrote an article about her too! (So we took part in making her famous)

8. Overly Attached Girlfriend

Oh yeah, we took part in making this freak famous too…Read here.

7. Felix Baumgartner

Yup…This guy was made famous because of us too.

Hi, I’m Felix Baumgartner and welcome to Jackass.

6. Joseph Kony

I hate to say it but KONY 2012 got annoying real fast.

Why? Just because Joseph Kony liked forcing little kids into be soldiers and practically killing them, but because KONY 2012 turned into a trend—it was something that all the kids loved talking about, even though none of them did shit about it.

5. Krispy Kreme

No, not the donuts…but we made this guy famous too.

You’re welcome.

4. Jeremy Lin

Who can forget Jeremy Lin? He was an NBA superstar for two months while playing for the New York Knicks.

Now what is he doing? He’s playing for the Houston Rockets while averaging 12.8 points per-game and 6.3 assists per-game—not too shabby, but not superstar-like.

Oh yeah, one of our best friends is Asian so we kinda made this guy famous too, right?

3. McKayla Maroney

McKayla Maroney is not impressed.

She won a gold medal while in London and is only 17…so no one can say anything about her.

2. Carly Rae Jepsen

Not only was Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe a hit, but it created several parodies across YouTube…Like these:

1. 40 oz Drinking Good Guy Huge Cock

40 oz Drinking Good Guy Huge Cock is the next big thing!

This guy is a legend and a party icon.
