Little advice: remove the first & and everything after it from your link, that's just additional tracking info.

George Washington song by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbRom1Rz8OA

by brad neely

Washington, Washington Six-foot-eight, weighs a fucking ton Opponents beware, opponents beware He’s coming, he’s coming, he’s coming

[Verse 1: Cox + Combes] Let me lay it on the line, he had two on the vine I mean two sets of testicles, so divine On a horse made of crystal, he patrolled the land With his mason ring and schnauzer in his perfect hands Here comes George, in control Women dug his snuff and his gallant stroll Ate opponents’ brains, and invented cocaine

September 10th, 2006. The day a legend was born.

At a first thought, I'm not even sure it was YouTube but probably, Charlie the Unicorn. I've been online too long to remember old YouTube favourites specifically heh. Hell if papa Smurf lick my ass is on YouTube that could beat it unsure of exact years I watched them first well Charlie was 07-08ish if that's where it was from.

Memory unlocked for Foamy the squirrel but that wasn't YouTube specifically hah Neuroticaly Yours was the series name, it rocked. Probably shouldn't re-watch but it fit well mid / latish 2000s.

Good lord, I checked my saved videos list to see what the answer is and I realized something. The average age of my saved videos is like 17 or 18 years old. And that's only really that young because of a couple relatively recent ones. Fuck...

I randomly remembered the Will it Blend? videos the other day. Such a simple premise. Also "Don't breathe this."

[–] Emi@ani.social 5 points 1 month ago

First one that comes to mind is Why engineers shouldn't defend. Love it so much. Glad people still make similar videos after years.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

MondoMedia videos were classic Youtube for me. They made the Here come Dr. Tran videos.

Also illWillPress videos staring Foamy the Squirrel Like so

YouTube is my life, a song from 2007: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p21nZmtq56M

Still gets stuck in my head sometimes. Also, some of the lyrics show just how different Youtube (and internet videos in general) were back then.

I have a hard time with remembering when things happened so I bet most of the videos I could think of didn't originate from YouTube 😮‍💨

Like the site only started in 2003 but I could swear I started seeing it in high school (I graduated in 2003).

A tophat is more e sports than you.
