Ever watched your favorite team in what you thought was the privacy of your own home, basement, and/or mancave? Sure you have, we all have. You feel relaxed and comfortable in knowing that no matter how ridiculous you act, or how emotional you get, at least nobody will ever know. Well, times have changed, kids. In the days of the viral sensation there is always a camera rolling. No longer is it just the bar where scenes of fan debauchery are being caught on tape. Friends and family members are now recording one another, and themselves, watching their teams, and losing their shit, in private settings. Some guards were down, social etiquette was out the window, and thankfully the cameras were rolling, to capture, the Best Indignant Reactions on YouTube by Fans Watching at Home.

He Used to Skip Church For the Knicks

Game: Boston Celtics @ New York Knicks
Date: 12/8/2013
Fan of: New York Knicks
The most recent rant by a sports fan who had enough, came from a supporter of non other than the New York Knicks. The same Knicks who suffered for years under Isiah, finally won the Atlantic last season, and, well, just let him tell you the rest.
These Guys Took it Pretty Well

Game: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Boston Bruins, Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, Game 7
Date: 5/13/2013
Fan of: Toronto Maple Leafs
Considering the riots that happened in Toronto as a result of this game, these dudes remained very calm. They were probably more in shock than anything. When you go up 4-1 in Game 7, losing has to be the last thing on your mind. Just watch the reaction after each of the last six goals.
Who Goes Offsides on a Power Play?

Date: 5/2/2010
Fan of: San Jose Sharks
This bro is definitely watching the Sharks from his dorm room, and on behalf of the rest of society we'd just like to thank him for that. From watching this guy, you'd never think that San Jose not only won this game, but went on to win the series too. Think he stood for the entire game?
Cleveland Wants Their Rings Back

Game: The Decision
Date: 7/8/2010
Fan of: Cleveland Cavaliers
We know this one doesn't take place in a home, but it's just too good to pass up. First of all, when you gather in a bar to watch the goddamn thing like it's a game, you have to acknowledge that there's a 50/50 chance this one might not end well for the home team.
Pretty much everyone and their mother took a shot at LBJ for the way he went about his free agency decision, but don't start talking about how you were disrespected when he announced his decision live on national television. Did he make you go out and watch the damn thing in front of video cameras?
Maybe the Dog Was an Auburn Fan?

Fan of: Alabama Crimson Tide
Just imagine, how would these people react in a natural disaster or something? Believe it, sir. It did happen.
Three Minutes?

Game: Queens Park Rangers @ Manchester City/Manchester United @ Sunderland
Date: 5/13/2013
Fan of: Manchester United
You can just tell that this isn't the first match these dudes have watched with their United friend. Which begs the question, why did his friend on the couch even show up that day? This was absolutely one of the greatest finishes in Premier League history, and we're just glad the cameras were rolling to capture this fan's seven-minute rollercoaster ride reaction to it. From champions to, well, sitting on the floor in the fetal position.
This is What Happens When You Blow a 20-Point Lead at the Half

Game: San Francisco 49ers @ Philadelphia Eagles
Date: 10/2/2011
Fan of: Philadelphia Eagles
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge this guy's YouTube username for a minute? Okay, just when you thought eatdat was going to keep it chill in his critique of the Eagles loss, this happens... At least he'll stay an Eagles fan for life.
Brandon Weeden's Number One Fan
View this video on YouTube
Game: Detroit Lions @ Cleveland Browns
Date: 10/13/2013
Fan of: Cleveland Browns
Clearly this man is not happy with Brandon Weeden. While a 17-7 lead at the half isn't huge, they were, as this fan quickly points out, playing the Lions. This guy doesn't beat around the bush, huh? Maybe the Browns should hire him as offensive coordinator.
Is Justin Harrell Worse Than Brady Quinn?
View this video on YouTube
Game: 2007 NFL Draft
Date: 4/28/2007
Fan of: Green Bay Packers
There are a lot of things wrong with this video, and that's not including the Packers drafting Justin Harrell with the 16th overall pick in 2007. This dude bugs out over the "gay" pick, calls the Packers owner a Nazi and a Jew, and then goes for a drive. Watch out, Wisconsin. This dude does not belong behind the wheel of a vehicle at the moment. Go, Jake, and never come back.
This Dude is Definitely Plugged in

Game: Dallas Cowboys @ Seattle Seahawks
Date: 9/16/2012
Fan of: Dallas Cowboys
You should probably be most upset that you have a big Cowboys logo in the middle of your living room. Jerry Jones and Co. should've just listened to this dude, he's plugged into this football stuff. If the team played with half of his energy, they might've stood a chance against the Seahawks. Good thing we're not still putting up with Dez's bullshit.
Bendtner, Bendtner, Bendtner...

Game: Robin Van Persie leaves Arsenal for Manchester United
Date: 7/4/2012
Fan of: Arsenal
What makes this rant so awesome is the fact that this Arsenal fan is going off while wearing his headset, getting ready to drop Van Persie from his FIFA squad. He even gets so jacked up at one point that he needs to adjust said headset. Of course, it wouldn't be an Arsenal rant if Nicklas Bendtner's name weren't mentioned at least a few times. How could you do it, RVP?
Who Needs to Get it?

Game: Atlanta Falcons @ New York Giants, 2012 NFC wild-card game
Date: 1/8/2012
Fan of: Atlanta Falcons
This dude sums up just about how every football fan feels when the expectations are so high, and the results are so poor. Then again, most teams score more than two points in a game, especially a playoff game. You know this guy had a few when he starts going off on Joe Johnson. Stick to ranting about one underachieving team at a time, fam.
A Quick Change of Emotions

Game: Alabama Crimson Tide @ Auburn Tigers, 2013 Iron Bowl
Date: 11/30/2013
Fan of: Alabama Crimson Tide
The only thing rolling in this video might be the woman sitting front and center. Seriously, is she channeling the Crimson Tide spirits in an attempt to stop Chris Davis from bringing that one all the way back? That crap never works. Props to grandpa cool, who not only knew that field goal was never going to be good, but also saw Chris Davis waiting to run it out. We see you, gramps.
Your Guess is as Good as Ours

Game: Belgrano v. River Plate, Argentine Primera Division demotion playoff, first leg
Date: 6/22/2011
Fan of: River Plate
This guy may seem out of his mind, but imagine if your team got relegated to the second division of Argentine football, after a 110-year stay in the top-flight. Quick disclaimer: We're pretty sure this dude is a River Plate fan, watching the first leg of the 2010-11 relegation playoff against Belgrano, in which River lost 2-0. The identity of the lady he keeps referring to is anyone's guess, though.
It Was Her Grandma's Table

Game: Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers, 2013 NFC wild-card game
Date: 1/5/2013
Fan of: Minnesota Vikings
She may have to replace her grandma's table, but he'll probably have to replace his girlfriend after this. Hey, it's not a regular season game, it's the playoffs we're talking about here. And it's not Garrett's fault, it's Aaron Rodgers' fault.
