13 Norman Kochanowski

It was a nickname given to a boy named Norman Kochanowski who raged over a game called Unreal Tournament 2004 as he smashed his keyboard. It has spawned many internet memes and remixed in the late 2000s.

I remember seeing him on the angry german kid videos and there was lots of videos where he was doing something bad like skipping school, and stuff and had his dad beating him up every time he got into trouble, and norman kochanowski would probably not do those things and his real dad probably wouldn't beat him up either
