In his time on YouTubers react, he has spoken about "Gangnam Style", Fred Figglehorn, Rewind YouTube Style 2012, among others.

Jordan has (as of December 2012) parodied four popular songs. In music videos Jordan is always accompanied by fellow YouTuber, "TryHardNinja", who provides the lead vocals in all of the parody videos. All of the parodies published by Maron have gone viral to different degrees. As of April 8, 2013, TNT has earned 60 million views, Revenge has earned 96 million views, surpassing the original song, DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love, Fallen Kingdom has earned 53 million views, and Minecraft Style has earned 43 million views (but has since been taken down).

Hidden Valley Survival Map

More islands! More survival! (And a little adventure on the side for people who like that sort of thing, which is everyone.) Hidden Valley is a minecraft survival islands map complete with survival and islands. And breathtaking vistas. And a story that will keep you up at night, hunting clues, searching for treasure and avoiding hostile mobs. Unlike adventure maps, you’ll have to build your own shelter, find your own food and chop your own trees down to make boats and that sort of thing. The starting chest is fairly generous, especially if you have a taste for brown leather garments. It even comes with a complimentary iron pickaxe. (It told me I had pretty eyes.)

The islands are large and the forests are dense, so much so it is easy to lose one’s bearings. It is best to take to the water, sailing around the map will help you find your way. There is so much to explore, great volcanic mountains rising from innocent pasture – fiery regions where stone and nether-rack burn all day and all night long. The map really is quite beautiful at times, so much so that I’m not ashamed to say that I climbed the tallest peak and then leaped off, only to climb it and leap off again. With custom made foliage and a world class level of world painting, there’s always something to marvel at – like the island of giant Redwoods below.

Constantly updated with new challenges, extended storylines and even new islands to explore, this is a minecraft map with real replayability. And a giant waterfall. I’m mostly excited about the giant waterfall, but your mileage may vary. Populated with plenty of chickens and cows and sugar cane, this is the perfect map in which to make a cake – or mushroom soup, if you prefer the protein fix associated with minecraft’s finest fungi.
