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!
Racist Field Trip gets me laughing fit to cry. Would have killed to be in the room when he was telling the story. Guys in the background about to piss themselves!
A classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ5LpwO-An4
HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA
The original is better.
Honey Badgers
You gotta do the cooking by the book.
Forgot this classic.
Look at all those chickens
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!
Can't believe these haven't been mentioned. Maybe because they're too popular, but they always makes me laugh:
Leeroy Jenkins
Grape stomping lady falls
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
Chat Roulette - Wrecking Ball
Skyrim summarized in one video
Ronald Jenkees - Stay Crunchy
Numa Numa
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.
Concrete Buffer Gone Wild
Seems like a good thread to plug [email protected]
I forgot this one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qN72LEQnaU
The Hamster Dance Song
If you want to feel old.
Go! Bwaah!
Almost all my iconic video favorites aren't YouTube original content (though they have been uploaded to YouTube).
Like Slackcircus's Fabulous Secret Powers
The pure pwnage series documenting the life of a humble pro gamer.
My horse is amazing
Trolololo
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 did a re-watch last year. Although a lot didn't age well, it was still so good and brought back a lot of great memories that I don't mind if its dated.
DING DONG BANNU
oh and also, seriously, does anybody want to come to Candy Mountain with me? I found Candy Mountain!
Malk
Here’s my favorite deep cut. It was the first video I ever saw on YouTube: My Hands Are Bananas
Ding fries are done
This has lived rent free in my head for years.
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
Nicht so tief Rüdiger! it's in german though
I'm sure the most watched ones might be: The Duck song, Asdfmovie, and the like...
My picks:
Dramatic Chipmunk
https://youtu.be/xuCn8ux2gbs
Can't believe it hasn't been posted :D
Ehhh I think eight years is still too new to qualify as “classic”
Oh I guess fair enough, thought it was older
It seems like it is longer ago! But then I realize my bones are made of dust and the videos I consider “classic” are a decade older than that ugh
SG Drifters 3
Man gobbles at turkeys, turkeys gobble back
future gen. consels wii2 ps4 xbox 720
Mr.Weebl : Kenya
redsatyr - copy that floppy
Lightning Bolt - 13 Monsters
JESUS CHRIST IN RICHMOND PARK
shitbuster
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.
Spiders On Drugs
Americanface
A good compilation: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0F31B2079F0C884B
Nowadays it would be against copyright for half the videos.
Can't really name a specific one so I'll go with:
Ice Cream Truck In The 'Hood
She's new, but is the spiritual successor of old YouTube.
Cool Cammy - Trolley Problem
One Point English
Powerthirst (and its sequels)
Tunak Tunal Tun - Dahler Mehndi
Kinda surprised that this wasn't already listed. This one is 17 years old but not the original.
Baptazia 1
I'm yet to find a video better than this.
Best YTP ever, but German
Harald Lesch weiß einfach alles!
I want it that way. 19 years ago. Probably the first YouTube I ever watched.
https://youtu.be/N2rZxCrb7iU
Rare prehistoric TikTok
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5133VkJ5Hlc&list=PLvHDW6f8HUaSL0XUD52Sox0z-kPjU-zcZ&index=21
Go, bwahhhh
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
I thought it was older, short but sweet.
Friday Night Cranks
Behold! It's A Potato!
George Washington
It's been living rent free in my head all these years
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
https://youtu.be/jM8XdUNhNmU I nearly piss myself every time I watch this.
