What’s one of your favorite classic YouTube videos of all time?
Like a really old video
Mine is this one: https://youtu.be/hkV7FjivJ7U
David Blaine street magic, makes me wheeze everytime! https://youtu.be/wTqsV3q7rRU
What a classic, every time he looks at the camera I just lose it
WHAT THE EFF!!
I completely forgot about this video. Thank you!
I forgot this one, its so funny
20 years on my partner and I still quote The End of the World occasionally.
That and https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/285267 was great back in the day. Before even youtube.
Fucking early ass Neil Cicierega, he has come so far!
A classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ5LpwO-An4
HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA
You gotta do the cooking by the book.
Forgot this classic.
I still quote this several times a week.
Outside in, how to turn a sphere inside out.
It was already upvoted 😂
That's really cool. Hadn't ever seen it before.
FENTON!!! https://youtu.be/3GRSbr0EYYU
Jesus Christ!
The death star canteen. https://youtu.be/Sv5iEK-IEzw
The front fell off https://youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM
Harder Better Faster Stronger
Best paired with Daft Hands
Daft Bodies will never get old. Those girls couldn't dance but they could synchronize. Some of the best of white girls being dorks on the internet that there ever was.
Numa Numa predates YT. I don't think it should count in this case.
Can't believe these haven't been mentioned. Maybe because they're too popular, but they always makes me laugh:
Came here for grape stomping lady. Knew I wouldn't be disappointed.
What a fun question. Made me nostalgic for early social media days.
Early YouTube: Daft Punk Hands
Pre-Youtube: The End of the World
I forgot this one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qN72LEQnaU
The Hamster Dance Song
If you want to feel old.
DING DONG BANNU
oh and also, seriously, does anybody want to come to Candy Mountain with me? I found Candy Mountain!
Here’s my favorite deep cut. It was the first video I ever saw on YouTube: My Hands Are Bananas
Seems like a good thread to plug !youtubeclassics@sh.itjust.works
Hey clip. I believe I stumbled on it from something Kevin Smith did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_CSo1gOd48
My name is Boxxy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOExl5doR2A
Star Wars Kid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPPj6viIBmU
The Easter Bunny Hates You: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhzGSQwVa9I
Everyone Else Has More Sex Than Me Guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzMt1oqMFdo
And the music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENnAa7rqtBM
Four Chords (Yeah! Fuck off chicken little!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pidokakU4I
The 4 chord song! I had totally forgotten about this
I'm sure the most watched ones might be: The Duck song, Asdfmovie, and the like...
My picks:
- (Stupid funny) playing Parappa the Rapper 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGlCGMm8Qag
- (Informative) CGP Grey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y3jE3B8HsE
- (Music) The Canadian band Barenaked Ladies recording songs in their Bathroom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebWzQ-sZZto
- There was this one youtube minigame (maybe it was a google homepage game? I don't remember) commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall Anniversary, with a wall you could break by moving the timeline bar back and forth. I can't find it anymore.
Can't believe it hasn't been posted :D
A good compilation: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0F31B2079F0C884B
Nowadays it would be against copyright for half the videos.
This guy Andrew Struthers made cool stuff back in the day, too bad he became a COVID-denying anti-trans bigot. He made his mark with Spiders On Drugs and then used the money he made to make a feature film. Americanface, the resulting film, is one of my favorite films. It really sucks that he became such a dickbag.
Tunak Tunal Tun - Dahler Mehndi
Kinda surprised that this wasn't already listed. This one is 17 years old but not the original.
I'm yet to find a video better than this.
Super Mario Bros Frustration. Very first YouTube video I ever watched as a toddler. I learned many words I shouldn't have at that age lmao
She's new, but is the spiritual successor of old YouTube.
Funny nativity
https://youtu.be/ihQuiyV-lXUI want it that way. 19 years ago. Probably the first YouTube I ever watched.
Not sure if this counts, but like any earlier time period, I'd be too young to be on the internet so its "classic" to me, but anyways: my favorite is probably this Vsauce video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDrBIKOR01c
I'm not sure if this is like #1 favorite, but probably a Top 10. Vsauce is one of my favorite channels. Videos kinda give a mini-existential crisis but also shows how cool existence is, in a sort of nihilistic way.
Bizarre televangelist. Whacked out even by Reverend Bruce Howard’s usual standards https://youtu.be/a8xvpo5WVlo
I don't know of this is old enough, but it's a damn good song and they got a lot the old legends in the video
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PQHPYelqr0E&pp=ygUOcG9yayBhbmQgYmVhbnM%3D
I thought it was older, short but sweet.
https://youtu.be/jM8XdUNhNmU I nearly piss myself every time I watch this.
It's been living rent free in my head all these years
