Almost all my iconic video favorites aren’t YouTube original content (though they have been uploaded to YouTube).
Like Slackcircus’s Fabulous Secret Powers
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!
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.
Harder Better Faster Stronger
Best paired with Daft Hands
I still quote this several times a week.
DING DONG BANNU
oh and also, seriously, does anybody want to come to Candy Mountain with me? I found Candy Mountain!
Best YTP ever, but German
David Blaine street magic, makes me wheeze everytime! https://youtu.be/wTqsV3q7rRU
I completely forgot about this video. Thank you!
What a classic, every time he looks at the camera I just lose it
I forgot this one, its so funny
WHAT THE EFF!!
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.
I’ve been very recently rewatching the pure pwnage series. Such a nostalgia trip, not just because the videos themselves but the era they took place in too
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.
A good compilation: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0F31B2079F0C884B
Nowadays it would be against copyright for half the videos.
I forgot this one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qN72LEQnaU
The Hamster Dance Song
If you want to feel old.
Outside in, how to turn a sphere inside out.
It was already upvoted 😂
That’s really cool. Hadn’t ever seen it before.
