#ThanksGraham is trending in the UK, Ireland, and the US.
For reference, the National Lottery grant that Graham Linehan tried to keep Mermaids from getting is $128,000(£100,000) a year for five years.
A ridiculous youtube man and his ridiculous internet friends have raised enough money to fund Mermaids almost as much as the National Lottery grant.
ETA: Ridiculous internet friends now including Chelsea Manning.
They've raised $162,235.68 so far, not far off the goal of $167,998. (Current goal is to make a dollar for every single Tweet Graham Linehan has ever made)
