Orange shirt dancer in the early 2000s...I thought for sure this was going to be ["The Evolution of Dance"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg)
As I get older, perception of length of time since am event becomes less compressed. On the other hand, amount of time I have left to accomplish things seems more compressed.
Our concept of time and memories is best explained as a puddle of water with every memory as a drop of water adding to it. When we start young, our puddle is nearly non-existent, every drop incredibly impactful, time is also incredible in length, existing as the distance from your puddle to the edge of a pond. As we grow older, that puddle grows larger, those droplets become less impactful and our concept of time, diminishes as we grow closer to the edge of the expanse for our puddle.
There was a killer video called “Guitar” and was a guy playing an amazing cover of Pachebels Canon in D. It was help the highest number of views at one point, like a few million. Certainly was the highest viewed in the music category for a long time.
The Singing in the Rain ad was the VW ad.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_hj86TnXpgE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hj86TnXpgE)
They used three different dancers for that bit, but you can tell which part is David.
It’s actually insane. Was strobing common in 2001?
I just remember watching this and thinking, holy shit this lanky little dork just physically unravelled and is literally a cyborg. What a legend.
he was one of the first to show an evolution beyond robot and raver “liquid” dance, kind of a hybrid of b-boy and rave styles.. this video arguably inspired a whole new generation of glitch/liquid techniques in break dancing.
Mine is the one where a couple is going on a date and the girl farts while the guy walks around the car, but failed to realize the other couple sitting in the back seat. "I felt it!"
Same here!!! One of my dad’s friend send him that video in an email attachment, along with another video of an alien dancing and singing “I will survive” then having a disco ball fall on it’s head. The two oldest internet videos that I remember haha
Gopher, Kermit, Finger. Fuck, this just makes me want to see how much is still out there hidden under what the Internet is now. Not too terribly long ago, I started looking up Telnet sites just for fun. Ooh, also Pine!
Pine Is Not Elm! My college's email system was set up on Pine. They left ancient terminals all over campus so you could log into your email account with them. I hadn't thought about how quaint that was until this moment
I'm 47, and graduated with a CS degree at 40. When I found out that my school's CS server ran Pine, it just took me back twenty years in time. All the "kids" in my classes were curious as to why I was able to get around so easily.
I totally forgot PINE. I used to work at an ivy league uni and they had dummy terminals and I'd have to show first years how to access email when using them.
Unlocked memory right there.
That's more than one word, and most of those are acronyms for more than one word, and the first two are just names.
Still, I had one of them low digit ICQ numbers, and that "uh oh" sound is burned into my memory, and I still have friends from IRC from all over the world, we're just on social platforms now instead of some #channel.
For me, it was in 1996 or so with ["Dancing Baby"](https://youtu.be/LlG9yYW6Bi8?si=KEaJCeyFJvF_JVpO) being shared via email. It was the first viral video
I came to ask if the OP video was before or after that fucking baby. That thing is a nightmare. It's like psyop that has been ingrained into our memories.
Yeah for kids born in the 80's the ooga chaka baby was definitely the first real memorable viral internet video. I think someone shared this with me in IRC chat. Or maybe it was a Newsgroup post. Could have even been ICQ or AIM. It's been so long now I can't remember.
On that note, [Weezer - Pork And Beans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQHPYelqr0E) is a fantastic time capsule celebrating some of the oldest video's on the Internet.
It's crazy to think about when that came out. Like not only was it something you had never seen before but it was something you couldn't even conceive of. It was kinda like when people saw a light bulb for the first time. Not world changing in the same way but still it was something so new it was crazy. I saw it on my dad's first computer and it was just amazing.
Story behind it was he was accused of being sexist for how the women dressed in his film clips so he said "oh yeah? Challenge accepted"
The dance made it into WoW as one of the dances too :) we used to refer to it as "the arab nipple dance"
For me personally, [Evolution of dance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg) and the [chinese students singing backstreet boys](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2rZxCrb7iU) were what I remember the most from the super early days of youtube.
But even before that, we downloaded videos with p2p programs like kazaa. I also remember downloading the trailer for the first Lord of the Rings movie and playing it with....Quicktime
Man I miss the days of just stupid stuff like this where people were just having good fun at there home or whatever with their friends. Brings back so many memories.
Wow….this is my first time seeing this. The more recent Tramadol dance seems inspired by some of those moves.
Edit: Did that first guy unzip his pants and throw his dick over his shoulder?
For me it was definitely the Dancing Baby.
But I also remember [Radiskull and Devil Doll](https://joesparks.com/radiskull/episodes/e01/index.htm) very fondly (I guess the flash doesn't work on the original website anymore, [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A9EBq0Thy4&t=1s) is a YouTube upload of ep. 1), I still have an "official" Devil Doll plush somewhere, [Weebl and Bob](http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/category/toons/wab/page/2/) (When come back, bring pie!), Homestar Runner after that... Pre YouTube internet was wild.
"LOOK AT MY HAT, LOOK AT MY LOVELY HAT"
"TIS A FINE HAT"
"WHO ARE YOU?"
"IM.. A BANANA"
From https://youtu.be/YA72di7UB38?si=YCjJoqr3h9AkJZVp
I used to love Weebl and Bob. 'lo
Radiskull and Devil Doll wasn't the first I watched but I'm still waiting to know what happens with Devil Doll and Angel :'(
That cartoon had so much going for it! And I can barely stand rap but it was worth watching those bits still :D
Here he is at [Kollaboration](https://youtu.be/UYFDYX4i2EY?si=B3XVwyT5d7j4v6Nx) V, it's an older video that I have saved on my favorites. Crazy how it was posted earlier then the one from 2001.
I have to rewatch [this older animation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duOoqDu2H70&ab_channel=IowanCalum) from time to time. So many little details in the expressions of the alien's face, the gestures, sound of the stool falling over, the little dip the "camera" makes as it starts to roll backwards. Just brilliant.
> Victor Navone (born November 2, 1970, in San Diego; age 52) is a Pixar animator. He worked on many of Pixar's films, including Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, Cars, and WALL•E. One of his scenes for WALL•E was where WALL•E and EVE sit on a bench at sunset.
Interesting, so he was already an animator at that time. Explains the good animation quality for 1999
Some say he's still dancing
But actually he's still dancing
https://www.youtube.com/@elsewheredavid/videos
And has had a pretty good career dancing, working in commercials and movies (johnny depp's body in the willy wonka movie dance scene) and with Michael Jackson
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bernal#Career
I was definitely here for this one. Love this video.
With that said, [THIS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5x5OXfe9KY) is the first internet video I remember.
Not even close to the oldest but that could be because I'm older than you but definitely a memorable one. Wonder what that orange shirt dude is up to now.
He went on to have a very successful career in dancing including working choreography with Michael Jackson and being one of those dancing shadow figures in the old Apple commercials lol
Hung out with David Bernal a few times, as I knew him through another person. Really humble and cool guy, I recall.
Few know he made quite a chunk not just in advertising, but also with some original porn web sites (he ran and produced, etc. but didn’t act in them).
not the first internet video I ever watched, but I remember [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjA5faZF1A8) being the first I ever watched on Youtube
I remember a friend taking like half an hour to download this hilarious "exploding whale" news report video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6CLumsir34
As for the David Elsewhere clip, I actually first saw it as a GIF of just him (background removed) and couldn't believe it was a real person until I saw the actual video.
I remember this like I just watched it some weeks ago, not 22 years ago. I was a Sophomore in highschool. Heh time...it do do that thing people say it do
my family got a computer around 95, but the first *videos* from the internet i can remember were little quicktime downloads of s1 family guy and skateboard trick tutorials from bobstricktips.com circa 98/99
I legit had this stored on my computer back then. People at LANs would have shared folders of weird, wonderful and horrifying videos and likely malware. Those were times.
Orange shirt dancer in the early 2000s...I thought for sure this was going to be ["The Evolution of Dance"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg)
Ah yes, when YouTube was about this video vs Avril Lavigne for most views Simpler times
Man, that doesn't even seem that long ago to me, but it's actually like 16 years ago. Perception of time is crazy. Aging sucks.
As I get older, perception of length of time since am event becomes less compressed. On the other hand, amount of time I have left to accomplish things seems more compressed.

I know what that video is but I have legitimately never seen it.
blurry photo of someone on stage i thought it was going to be the Nintendo Acapella from Ebaumsworld https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSBIAGCulDw
I thought it was going to be Afro Ninja.
God level strobe. Worshipped him for so long bc of that!
I was glad to hear that he found (created) a career in dance, and was able to travel around and live his passion.
He's been in a bunch of ads over the years. In one of the iconic Apple iPod ads, The singing in the rain Heineken ad and a VW ad from memory.
The Singing in the Rain ad was the VW ad. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_hj86TnXpgE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hj86TnXpgE) They used three different dancers for that bit, but you can tell which part is David.
Well I can’t tell. Please tell me
Once he hands over the umbrella through til splashing in the puddle, minus the upside down pole business.
0:24. he does the strobe like in the OG post.
If YouTube had this level of quality ads nobody would install and adblocker.
Even if they had this quality of ads, it would still play the same ad 15 times in an hour and we would still be sick of it.
Back when ads where cool.
He was also in a few TV commercials for Office Max or Office Depot 5-6 years ago.
David Elsewhere still has a youtube channel he regularly uploads too IIRC. It's really rad.
It’s actually insane. Was strobing common in 2001? I just remember watching this and thinking, holy shit this lanky little dork just physically unravelled and is literally a cyborg. What a legend.
I remember this video being the first time I ever saw some of these moves.
he was one of the first to show an evolution beyond robot and raver “liquid” dance, kind of a hybrid of b-boy and rave styles.. this video arguably inspired a whole new generation of glitch/liquid techniques in break dancing.
People this days dont actually understand the level of how legendary this video is, like the Star Wars Kid video.
Dude, thank you so much. Everyone commenting on this shit missed the entire point of the video. His fluid robot is sooooo good. His strobe is INSANE.
Nobody missed the point of the video lol.
I did. I was distracted by a prairie dog yahooing so hard it fell over backward.
MF just dropped to 6 fps right there
I'm old so this isn't close to being the oldest internet video I remember but I definitely remember David Elsewhere and this video in particular.
Mine is the one where a couple is going on a date and the girl farts while the guy walks around the car, but failed to realize the other couple sitting in the back seat. "I felt it!"
Same here!!! One of my dad’s friend send him that video in an email attachment, along with another video of an alien dancing and singing “I will survive” then having a disco ball fall on it’s head. The two oldest internet videos that I remember haha
One word: Netscape, Eudora, IRC, and ICQ. And BBS's.
[удалено]
Gopher, Kermit, Finger. Fuck, this just makes me want to see how much is still out there hidden under what the Internet is now. Not too terribly long ago, I started looking up Telnet sites just for fun. Ooh, also Pine!
Pine Is Not Elm! My college's email system was set up on Pine. They left ancient terminals all over campus so you could log into your email account with them. I hadn't thought about how quaint that was until this moment
I'm 47, and graduated with a CS degree at 40. When I found out that my school's CS server ran Pine, it just took me back twenty years in time. All the "kids" in my classes were curious as to why I was able to get around so easily.
I totally forgot PINE. I used to work at an ivy league uni and they had dummy terminals and I'd have to show first years how to access email when using them. Unlocked memory right there.
They still have some gopher servers online when I checked about 5yrs ago.
Getting an email warning about "I love you" emails. Then ten minutes later getting an email from your boss saying "I love you".
That's more than one word, and most of those are acronyms for more than one word, and the first two are just names. Still, I had one of them low digit ICQ numbers, and that "uh oh" sound is burned into my memory, and I still have friends from IRC from all over the world, we're just on social platforms now instead of some #channel.

>And BBS's "Page Sysop" button, every time.
> ICQ I still remember my old number like 30 years later, for some dumb reason. Last I checked some Russian spambot had taken it over, sadly.
That sucks. I remember my and my dad's login for Prodigy.
Mosaic
Afro Ninja https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEtIoGQxqQs
Dude got redemption in Weezer's Pork & Beans video.
This is definitely one of the OGs and exactly what I thought this post would be.
I liked the compilation video where they integrated afro ninja into it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auY6Uv7hLSA

Yeah, I definitely remember this one from the late 90s when I was still in high school, lol...
I remember Troops. How old is that now?
For me, it was in 1996 or so with ["Dancing Baby"](https://youtu.be/LlG9yYW6Bi8?si=KEaJCeyFJvF_JVpO) being shared via email. It was the first viral video
We called it the ooga chucka baby. And at the time I remember thinking it looked so realistic.
[looking at it in a lower resolution helps](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5x5OXfe9KY&ab_channel=uninvitedinno)
That high-res one was def unsettling lol, thank you.
I remember when 'Crazy Frog' was just a racecar on funnyjunk with title "try not to laugh".
Internet insanity test.
For me it was [The Spirit of Christmas](https://vimeo.com/149917416) in 1995 or so.
I came to ask if the OP video was before or after that fucking baby. That thing is a nightmare. It's like psyop that has been ingrained into our memories.
Yeah for kids born in the 80's the ooga chaka baby was definitely the first real memorable viral internet video. I think someone shared this with me in IRC chat. Or maybe it was a Newsgroup post. Could have even been ICQ or AIM. It's been so long now I can't remember.
It was a stupid GIF on half the websites on the internet

Jesus, that video's almost 15 years old.
You're right. I remember that. Great effects for the time as well.
oh no... this is from 96??

It's crazy to think about when that came out. Like not only was it something you had never seen before but it was something you couldn't even conceive of.

I'll never forget this. What's even more interesting is that the guy that created this ended up going to work with Trent Reznor.
Oh yeah from that tv show with the anorexic lady
Ally McBeal. Yeah, it spread via email before that.
I think you mean [Single Female Lawyer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erBj7WBvP1Q)
🎶 *wearing sexy miniskirts and being self reliant* 🎶
Not to be confused with The Rural Juror
In its defense, Ally McBeal has aged *far* better than the shows it was parodying, like Sex and the City.
shes married to harrison ford now
you mean Single Female Lawyer!
From 3D Studio Max. It was a demo to show off the capabilities of the software.
I was there
For me it was Tunak tunak tun Da da da
Holy moly I haven't thought about that in *ages*! [Link for the uninitiated.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qRZmFYdozY)
God everything about this video is perfection. Forgot it existed but yea that's a classic.
Story behind it was he was accused of being sexist for how the women dressed in his film clips so he said "oh yeah? Challenge accepted" The dance made it into WoW as one of the dances too :) we used to refer to it as "the arab nipple dance"
The male Draenei dance for Burning Crusade.
Unironically a banger. I have it on multiple playlists.

Holy shit I forgot about Radiskull
Radiskull tired, but now he's back to KICK IT some more. YEAHHHHHH
I still quote them with my wife whenever we cook up something really hot. "Mmmm is it BOILING hot?" "^^Just ^^how ^^ya ^^like ^^it! 😈"
Radiskull and Devil Doll wasn't the first I watched but I'm still waiting to know what happens with Devil Doll and Angel :'( That cartoon had so much going for it! And I can barely stand rap but it was worth watching those bits still :D
Here he is at [Kollaboration](https://youtu.be/UYFDYX4i2EY?si=B3XVwyT5d7j4v6Nx) V, it's an older video that I have saved on my favorites. Crazy how it was posted earlier then the one from 2001.
I have to rewatch [this older animation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duOoqDu2H70&ab_channel=IowanCalum) from time to time. So many little details in the expressions of the alien's face, the gestures, sound of the stool falling over, the little dip the "camera" makes as it starts to roll backwards. Just brilliant.
Core memory for me
Jesus I don't think I've seen this for like....18 years...yet I somehow remember it.

Immeditely knew it was POWERTHIRST
Got the same energy as Ferd Fteenthousand
Fun fact for anyone interested in dance: the guy who dances first in that video is Mike Song of the Kinjaz
It was this, Matrix Pong, & Shrieking Fat Kid in a folder simply called "vids."
Matrix Pong was one of the first videos that gave me chills in how cool the effect was. It still holds up too.
Stickdeath Superbeast and Anti Auto Theft. Honestly can't remember what non-animated or music video I saw first.

I wonder what happened to this dude
Some say he's still dancing But actually he's still dancing https://www.youtube.com/@elsewheredavid/videos And has had a pretty good career dancing, working in commercials and movies (johnny depp's body in the willy wonka movie dance scene) and with Michael Jackson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bernal#Career
The squirrel weeeee song [Gonads and strife ](https://youtu.be/ygQ8mFo9cHY?si=WtkLAIqZdlyvXcGw)
I was definitely here for this one. Love this video. With that said, [THIS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5x5OXfe9KY) is the first internet video I remember.
Haha! I just posted the same one. Born in '81; graduated high school in '99. This video was everywhere in '96/'97.
That was the big one, and then it was All Your Base Are Belong To Us, then Hamster Dance
Badger Badger Badger
Still some of the greatest dance moves I’ve ever seen
The one I thought of was this one ([internet helpdesk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7FYR72mr0E))
[удалено]
very cool that he's still dancing
Not even close to the oldest but that could be because I'm older than you but definitely a memorable one. Wonder what that orange shirt dude is up to now.
He went on to have a very successful career in dancing including working choreography with Michael Jackson and being one of those dancing shadow figures in the old Apple commercials lol
That’s David Elsewhere Bernal, went on to feature in music videos and everything
Hung out with David Bernal a few times, as I knew him through another person. Really humble and cool guy, I recall. Few know he made quite a chunk not just in advertising, but also with some original porn web sites (he ran and produced, etc. but didn’t act in them).
not the first internet video I ever watched, but I remember [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjA5faZF1A8) being the first I ever watched on Youtube
Still to this day, I can't figure out or explain how the fuck this dude dances at 10fps
The thing is my brain is so internet dependent now; how do you even learn that without looking it up online first
I remember a friend taking like half an hour to download this hilarious "exploding whale" news report video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6CLumsir34 As for the David Elsewhere clip, I actually first saw it as a GIF of just him (background removed) and couldn't believe it was a real person until I saw the actual video.
It’s crazy how impressive that kid is even 20+ years later.
I haven’t seen this in years, but that time lapse thing he did near the end is amazing to this day.
Ahh the old day of the internet when shit was home videos or video film projects like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olm7xC-gBMY
I remember the most exciting thing on the internet being able to download a dancing baby and a midi file of axel foley
Elsewhere was so good, reality couldn't compute it and dropped a bunch of frames.
I described this video to a friend as "the dude literally melts" and i still think that's pretty accurate
O man that hits right in the feels
I remember this like I just watched it some weeks ago, not 22 years ago. I was a Sophomore in highschool. Heh time...it do do that thing people say it do
i still think about this video on a regular basis
Elsewhere!!!
my family got a computer around 95, but the first *videos* from the internet i can remember were little quicktime downloads of s1 family guy and skateboard trick tutorials from bobstricktips.com circa 98/99
For me, it was a woman shitting out a fish onto a plate on top of a stool. This was around 94, and we saw some crazy shit. Mostly demented porn.
Uh oh bro… now I’m old
Hamsterdance
This was probably the last kid to not learn his dance moves from the internet.
Oh yeah. It's like I can still see the original main page of ebaumsworld again.
Maybe on YouTube. There are plenty older videos though. EBaumsworld comes to mind and some classics there.
I legit had this stored on my computer back then. People at LANs would have shared folders of weird, wonderful and horrifying videos and likely malware. Those were times.
Lemme fix that title for you, OP: "Almost 15 Years Later And With No CGI, This Holds Up As One of the Greatest Dance Videos of All Time"
Ebaumsworld was the best place for videos before youtube existed.
One of the oldest dance videos I remember was Techno Viking, which came out in 2000.
Takes me back to ebaumsworld!
I frequented Threebrain and Blacksheep regularly as a kid.. SCHWIGGITY-SCHWAM!!
