Bottom Line: The Internet loves a good catchphrase, especially when it is mixed in with a healthy dose of embarrassment. Boom Goes The Dynamite has all of the authenticity of found footage combined with the joy of watching someone publicly lose face. Add to that the fact that it was on local television and a meme is born.

Brian Collins, a college sports anchor, fumbles his way through a highlight reel. Most of the video is incoherent except, of course, for the now famous catch-phrase. Internet celebrity followed close at its heels.
