I don't know if that really counts. Simon is one of us nerdy internet types.

When a celebrity who thinks the whole internet is Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube on their smart phone like normal people do mentions Slendy, then he's famous.

The next step up from Simon Pegg is Lady GaGa. She's a good transitory celebrity between geek famous and nongeek famous. Then George Clooney. Then Oprah. Then a 'concerned citizens' piece on a 24 hour news channel titled something like "Slenderman - harmless fun or dangerous prank?", followed by some bad jokes on a late night show that isn't Conen O'Brien - who already did a Slenderman comedy skit 3 months earlier.

At this point the cycle feeds back into itself over and over until the fad is either destroyed or transformed into something sustainable and unrecognizable.

Lady Gaga will take it to the mainstream either by mentioning it, or dressing as Slendy in a music video/concert...

I was joking about the latter, but, who knows, she might be able to pull this out...

I swear guys, I was honestly just trying to predict what would happen if Slenderman became popular, I wasn't trying to get everyone down Razz

Obviously, my predictions are skewed a bit negative...Haha

When did O'brien do a slenderman skit?

I don't think he has. I read that as O'Brien would be so far ahead of the comedy curve that he would have made Slender Man jokes before all of the late night hosts knew about Him.
