Pretty much every Millenial remembers the fond days of running around their backyards
and neighborhoods with their Nerf guns, playing war or culturally insensitive games with their
friends.
It turns out that that "gun" was actually called a "Blaster" and the reason that we
know that is because there is an amazing (and fervent, in a good way) collective of Nerf
purists online that not only talk about everything Nerf but that also get together in groups
around North America to engage in Nerf battles.
That enthusiasm for all things squishy foam doesn't just stop with people online, as there
are celebrities who are also into Nerf culture.
So, let's take a look at the Top Ten Nerf "Obsessed" celebrities!
Justin Bieber/Hailey Baldwin/Kendall Jenner
Depending on your age, this entry should either be a lot higher on the list or not on this
list at all.
The reality is, though, that you won't find many more people that are more influential
than the celebs in this entry, especially Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner.
Apparently there was a lot more behind this post, that was from way back in 2014, in terms
of relationship rumors between...
Really, who cares?
What matters is that outside of all of that, the trio was taking part in the #NerfWar campaign
that was popular back then.
Outside of that, the Biebs will make another appearance on this list in a few entries,
so if you're one of the few remaining Beliebers out there, hold on tight.
We've most likely already pissed off the entire online Nerf community (again), we don't need
beef with the Beliebers, also.
Speaking of good clean fun.

Adam Savage
Part of what makes the online (and offline, to be fair) Nerf community so awesome is the
fact that a lot of the people who get, or stay, into everything Nerf spend a lot of
time basically turning their blasters into amazing pseudo-weapons.
Those modders typically start with blasters that have available tactical rails that allow
people to customize their blasters in a few, Nerf approved, ways.
While we've been told, or angrily shouted at, that adding Nerf scopes or shoulder stocks
to a blaster isn't technically modding, it is what gets a lot of people into modding
in the first place.
One of those people happens to be Adam Savage, the previous host of the TV show Myth Busters.
If you're not familiar with that show, the title should tell you all you need to know
with one other caveat: that being that Adam was the goofy one on the show who typically
got the goat of the other host, Jamie Hyneman, the more rational and collected one.
Savage's pre-television career was in special effects and industrial designing and fabricating,
and that really came in handy when he got his hands on a Nerf Longstrike CS-6 rifle,
which was already a pretty bad ass blaster.
Not only did he improve the blaster in terms of shooting length and power, but he also
improved the aesthetics of the CS-6, by adding a real scope and making it pretty Sci-Fi in
the process.
Why did he do this?
Outside of the clicks for his YouTube channel?
Well, it turns out he was partaking in the Secret Santa giveaway on Imgur and decided
to give it to one super lucky, and probably a bit confused Imgur user.
Nick Jonas
While the evidence of his NERF love is short.
Nick Jonas, formerly of the Jonas Brothers "Band", gets points for using his blaster
to shoot another celebrity, Jack Black, as well as for the fact that he managed to keep
his shirt on and avoid any and all Kardashian or Jenner women, which seems next to impossible
if you live in the Los Angeles area.
Jack Black is a national treasure and his response to getting shot really makes you
think that he and Jonas were engaged in some sort of Nerf version of the assassins game
that tons of high school kids used to play across the country (in which you developed
teams with hit lists that can only be taken care off outside of school).
What's great is that clearly people are still playing games like that both at meet-ups for
the Nerf community or at their respective offices from regular working stiffs like you
and us to famous people who are on the set of a movie.
Nerf is Amazing!
Ajit Pai
If you're not from the United States or into politics you're probably not aware of who
Ajit Pai is.
But since you're either reading or listening to this online, you should be, as he's the
new FCC chairman that was appointed by President Trump and the man who's nearly solely responsible
for the downfall of Net Neutrality.
It's important for everyone who wants the internet to remain fair and balanced to understand
how Net Neutrality works and what it means.
Granted, since it's been overturned you're probably not able to watch this video without
adding quarters to the new government mandated coin slots for all PC's and mobile devices.
Pai actually released a "viral" video titled "Seven Things You Can still Do Online After
Net Neutrality" (or as he calls it, his plan to restore "Internet Freedom"), they're all
probably the most cringe inducing attempts at reaching millenials that it felt like a
Saturday Night Live skit about the exact things he was doing in the video.
The reason it makes this list is that part of the his list is about ordering things online
for Christmas, which means of course he's got a fidget spinner in one hand and a Nerf
blaster in the other.
It's awful on every level and while you can watch it online, I'd suggest that you immediately
take whatever device you're watching it on and bury it in your backyard.
Hamish and Andy
Hamish and Andy might be on a first name basis in their native Australia, where their show
The Hamish & Andy Show (and it's multiple follow-ups) have made them one of the top
comedy duos down under.
The content they created with #NerfWars in mind - which you've now seen - is some of
the most entertaining on this entire list.
Basically, they targeted a member of the offices of one of their shows and essentially assassinated
him by shooting one of the Nerf blasters that has automatic firing capabilities (don't assassinate
us if that's not the right terminology!), until the guy ran out of the office screaming
"What the hell is wrong with you?".
Outside of that looking like a fun office to work in it shows that Nerf still is as
popular as ever and can bring a smile to the face of people of all ages (at least the people
on the other end of the blaster).
Omar Epps
In the #MeToo era, it's hard to talk about Omar Epps without discussing the semi-recent
lawsuit stating that he broke the arm of a woman on the set of 'Shooter'.
The accident happened during a scene, where she said that he went "Off-Script" and pushed
her harder than the scene apparently called for.
That enthusiasm appears to extend beyond filming, with Epps engaging in a Nerf war with his
son, Amir.
It's extra special because Amir has struggled with health issues and was hospitalized in
2015 for unspecified reasons (although that was also posted on Instagram, with an image
of Omar walking with his son during a three day stay in the ICU, with an oxygen tank).
This post shows a couple things, one being that Epps seems to be a fun dad, and also
that Nerf is the perfect way for people of all ages to engage in good, clean fun.
Seth Green
This one is sort of a technicality because clearly Seth Green (of Austin Powers, Family
Guy and Robot Chicken fame) was hired to portray the kid in this commercial back in the day
and so that doesn't necessarily mean that he's a big Nerf enthusiast.
However, the commercial so perfectly sums up both the 90's in general as well as the
90's "Cool-Kid"/Nerf community that it gets high marks, I mean, just look at his hair.
Also, kids don't really hang out in malls anymore, because they're all mostly empty
(not counting the raccoons that moved into the spot where that arcade used to be).
But it is true that "hitting the mall" with a Nerf slingshot makes it more fun, despite
the fact that you'd definitely end up talking to that sad mall security guard if you actually
brought and used a slingshot of any type to any mall.
Although, that could've perhaps stopped those raccoons from moving into the arcade, so maybe
Seth Green was right after all.
One Direction
Speaking of feral raccoons, the British boy band One Direction is the next celebrity entry
on our list of Nerf enthusiasts.
They score extra points because of how they actually used their Nerf blasters.
The fellas in One Direction actually used their blasters as they were originally intended,
to wound the paparazzi (while also keeping their clean cut, good guy personas intact).
Unfortunately, the paparazzi actually enjoyed it and kept asking for more, because that
would mean they could email TMZ the photos and have enough money to go to the liquor
store to forget, if only for one evening, what they do for a living.
Well done, One Direction.
Justin Bieber
Solo (and Again) Justin Bieber has already been on this list, but it was as part of a
group.
And just as John Lennon is listed as the artist with the most Top 500 albums of all-time by
Rolling Stone as both a member of the Beatles and as a solo artist, we too must look at
Bieber's affinity for all things Nerf as part of the above group and as a solo Nerf...
Nerfer…Nerf Herder?
This image also gets extra points for showing the Biebs with a Nerf bow and arrow, one of
the most badass of all the Nerf paraphernalia, and one that you don't see as often as the
general blasters that most of you are familiar with - or stroking angrily as you read this
list.
Should he be higher on this list?
Maybe, but he also lost points for taking his shirt off in the picture, no one needs
to see that, Justin.
Kevin Hart
One of the greatest examples of what makes Nerf amazing comes from none other than comedian-slash-actor
Kevin Hart.
Hart is a father of three, and he shows like Omar Epps earlier, that nothing brings parents
and kids together like the promise of a Nerf battle.
While Hart is way more famous than Epps, the real reason that he gets such a high spot
on this list is because his video shows that he definitely takes his Nerf battles very
seriously.
He appears to be rocking a tactical vest, that is fully decked out to the nines with
extra Nerf darts, showing that he means business.
If you've ever played the game GoldenEye for the Nintendo 64 on a semi-serious basis against
your friends, you'll remember that most players always had a rule that no one could play as
the player Oddjob because he was so short that most of the bullets flew right over his
head.
While watching Hart play with his young children, you have to think that in a year or two they'll
develop a no-Dadjob rule based on the fact that Hart is like five feet tall.
So, enjoy your Nerf wars while you can, Kevin, based on that video we know that you definitely
will.
