The "apparently" kid has recreated his video 10 years after it first went viral.

Now, memes are the one thing that bonds this entire world together and it's seemingly the only thing that everyone on the internet can actually get behind.

Noah Ritter, AKA the "apparently" kid, has social media in another chokehold a decade after he first appeared on the small screen by recreating his iconic interview.

It all started back in 2014, when a five-year-old Ritter, appeared on local Pennsylvania ABC affiliate WNEP at the Wayne County Fair.


Wearing a neon green and white stripy T-shirt, the young boy stepped to the microphone to answer a series of questions but he threw in a comment or two that made him stand out from the crowd.

"I've never been on live television before... [and] sometimes I don't watch the news," he told the camera, adding that it was because he's "just a kid."

"Grandpa gives me the remote every time we watch the Powerball," he added.

On August 4, the outlet shared an updated video of the now-teen reciting a few of the iconic lines including the one above.

Of course, his natural voice is now a lot different but he didn't miss a beat as he replicated his five-year-old tone as he delivered the line.


The clip was posted to numerous social media sites, including YouTube, where it received a handful of wholesome comments.

"Apparently, YouTube's algorithm thought it'd be a good idea to show this on my homepage and remind me about this kid. Good to see he & his grandad are still doing well," wrote one user, while another added: "Apparently, Noah’s turning into a pretty good young man, and apparently I’m really happy for him!"

A third also chimed in writing: "That original interview where he just takes the microphone and begins to discuss his day is still hilarious. The reaction of the female reporter is priceless too."

And this person also added: "The reason he went viral was because he was so darn cute, just being his lil kid self. Glad to see as a teen he's still cute for the same reasons! Stay cute everyone."

When asked how it feels to say those words into a WNEP microphone again a decade later Ritter said “it feels pretty good.”

“I feel nostalgic about it,” he continued before adding: “It makes me reminisce about being here in this exact spot 10 years ago.”

Ritter and his grandpa still create videos online, with the pair uploading clips to YouTube every now and then, though the realities of life have been kicking in so the teen hardly has time to produce much content anymore.


Between managing his social life and his school work, he's one busy boy!

“Now I'm juggling YouTube, school, football, track [and] a bunch of other stuff," Ritter told the outlet. "I'm going into my sophomore year, getting ready to drive."

But, driver's license or no driver's license, he has no plans on ceasing his annual fair visits with Grandpa Jack, saying: "I wouldn’t trade my buddy for the world."

We can't help but stan!
