strangerstruck 

Analogous to "starstruck", updated for "The Info Era". The exorbitant yet fleeting delusion of grandeur a typical non-celebrity experiences when noticed by a celebrity, is "starstruck".

"Strangerstruck" conveys the non-celebrity's ignorance of the noticing celebrity's status. Commonly illustrated in pop-media.

2 main characters to meet celebrity; Friend 1 is obsessed w/ celebrity, Friend 2 ignorant of celebrity/their works. F2 just happy to be there. Conflict arises >> Friends can't go. Act 2: series of intensifying conflicts. F1 panicking, hopes to salvage night, maybe meet hero/idol. F2 unknowingly meets celebrity prior to event in unlikely place. F2 & celebrity hit it off. Conversation ends, celebrity departs with "Hey I like you kid! Here's 2 VIP tickets to my *event*. And don't forget to *ironic request negating all of F1's salvage efforts*, I'll be lookin' for you!". F1 approaches too late, celebrity exits. Exaggeratedly befuddled, exclaiming the line "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO THAT WAS?!?", verbatim. Body language displayed is the exact same, across all instances of this plot. You know exactly which body exclamation I'm referring to.

The "strangerstruck" phenomenon also happens in the real world.
Ex: ??? liked my comment. Click only to reread own comment. Noticed user who liked comment was OP (over 500K subs). Only after knowing this, did "strangerstruck" sensation occur.
Danny: I made a comment on this weird science experiments channel and it was really self deprecating. Somebody liked it, stating the amount of honesty I displayed was "refreshing" and a "true sign of wisdom". You know who liked it..? *smirks*

Dog: *is neurologically incapable of understanding or vocalizing human words and concepts*

Danny: Yeah duder...*panicked scrolling through YouTube Watch History*....it waaaaasss.........

....................TechIngredients. Fuckin' eh, right, doggie. *flexes noodle arm in a strangerstruck fashion*

Dog: *eats the cat's shit then vomits the shit then re-eats the shit vomit*

PLEASE DELETE EVERYTHING FROM THE BEGINNING OF THIS LINE AND AFTER IF THIS DEFINITION IS APPROVED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

*COMMENT TO URBANDICTIONARY APPROVAL LORD: I am not intentionally plugging TechIngredients, simply maintaining authenticity of how this term and definition came to me. If you DO NOT approve of using the specific channel name, please simply remove it, or change all instances to "UrbanDictionary". How I told the story is exactly how it happened, and screenshots to prove it.
