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

Tunak Tunal Tun - Dahler Mehndi

Kinda surprised that this wasn't already listed. This one is 17 years old but not the original.

https://youtu.be/jM8XdUNhNmU I nearly piss myself every time I watch this.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 12 hours ago

I thought it was older, short but sweet.

[–] Swakkel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

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

I'm yet to find a video better than this.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

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!

Can't believe these haven't been mentioned. Maybe because they're too popular, but they always makes me laugh:

20 years on my partner and I still quote The End of the World occasionally.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That and https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/285267 was great back in the day. Before even youtube.

Outside in, how to turn a sphere inside out.

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

It was already upvoted 😂

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That's really cool. Hadn't ever seen it before.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Seems like a good thread to plug !youtubeclassics@sh.itjust.works

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 days ago
[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Look at all those chickens

I still quote this several times a week.

She's new, but is the spiritual successor of old YouTube.

Cool Cammy - Trolley Problem

[–] impudentmortal@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

What a fun question. Made me nostalgic for early social media days.

Early YouTube: Daft Punk Hands

Pre-Youtube: The End of the World

Ding fries are done

This has lived rent free in my head for years.

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ehhh I think eight years is still too new to qualify as “classic”

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh I guess fair enough, thought it was older

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

Can't really name a specific one so I'll go with:

Ice Cream Truck In The 'Hood

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 2 days ago

Almost all my iconic video favorites aren't YouTube original content (though they have been uploaded to YouTube).

Like Slackcircus's Fabulous Secret Powers

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 9 points 2 days ago

I forgot this one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qN72LEQnaU

The Hamster Dance Song

If you want to feel old.
