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:

Leeroy Jenkins

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

Tunak Tunal Tun - Dahler Mehndi

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

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

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh I guess fair enough, thought it was older

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days 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

[–] Edge004@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

Cool Cammy - Trolley Problem

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago

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

Ice Cream Truck In The 'Hood

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

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

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 days ago

I thought it was older, short but sweet.

[–] Swakkel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days 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

Outside in, how to turn a sphere inside out.

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

It was already upvoted 😂

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

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

[–] impudentmortal@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week 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
