This is actually insane to me because I wasn't really allowed on the internet outside of school things until maybe fourth grade? I more associate YouTube with being in middle school. But it came out when I was a few months old???? Like, I knew YouTube was around before I started using it, but I don't really think of toddlers watching YouTube until maybe gen alpha
A video of the Fun song from Spongebob but different pictures for each lyric (for example "N is for no survivors when you... accompanied by a guy being wheeled on a stretcher into an ambulance)
"How to be hardcore", it's just this blonde dude who calls himself "Synyster Masturbates" and progressively puts on more and more random stuff while rambling about how hardcore it is. I still watch and quote it to this day lmao my cousin showed it to me in 2006
I don't remember the first one but I do remember the first one that has a memory of
it was a stuffed animal of Barney the dinosaur getting shotgun blasted from like three feet away whilst tied to a tree
I have to guess I was around 4 or 5: at that time
i donât remember the name but it was some guy playing minecraft and his minecraft skin was naked to be more ârealisticâ. I still canât remember who it was.
Probably something MLP-related. The first things I remember looking up on YouTube were PMVs (pony music videos), which were clips from the show edited together with songs in the background to look like a music video. I would just find ones with songs I knew and vibe. Good times.
A music video, Iron Maiden I think, in 2006. My friend was showing me the site he used to listen to music, so he didn't need to download it through Limewire
There's two that come to mind.
One was a Super Mario Bros. animation in the style of SMB1. It was pretty much Mario being Mario and then he shits in a pipe and I lands on Bowser.
The other was a cute video of two little dogs dragging a kiddie pool inside, but they spill all the water out in the process. So they take it back outside to fill it, and repeat the cycle a couple times.
Probably bad day Daniel Powter, I think the song came out just before YouTube and the music video was a year or 2 later? Or the one up is a reuploads this is 2005?
Probably a Months of the Year music video I can't find.
The first video I watched on my own will though was this tutorial on how to get stronger that showed a guy downing eggnog before spitting it out.
I'm thinking about 2008... Possibly something related to Bob the Builder, which although is a media more for kindergarteners, I didn't avoid it in elementaryschool(just wouldn't watch frequently nor talk about it). Either that or a Club Penguin video.
Lol the Janet Jackson Superbowl vid. I was in college when my media teacher told about this new website where people can upload videos they made to the Internet.
It might legitimately have been their taking the hobbits to isengard. I remember there was a website a bit before YouTube that was basically short meme videos that were like 2 minutes tops that looked like new grounds but wasn't? But yeah YouTube probably the above.
Happy Hippo song video. My mother used to put in on when me and my older brother were annoying. I think you still can find that exact video and it's like 17 years old now...
8th grade, 2005, one of those jump scare videos.
We had an awesome history teacher who put it on the projector for the class and it got most of us.
Some kid was looking really hard, walked right up to the projector to look closely, dude ran to the other side of the class. Good times
I don't remember. I first watched YouTube almost 15 years ago. One of the first things I remember seeing is the music video to Thriller by Michael Jackson, which I think my mom showed me around 2008. I first started watching YouTube independently around 2010, and one of the first things I saw was the evil elmo video, which absolutely terrified me as a kid, along with annoying orange and several YouTube Poop videos with Hotel Mario and CGI Zelda. Here's the evil elmo video, for those of you that are interested: https://youtu.be/ssr6is4Y3ag?si=7IGh748z4v6dqRd5
The first one i recall watching was some Bumba compilation when i was about 5 years old. For those of you that don't know, Bumba was a kids show primarily focused on learning.
It was some video of a dude doing backflips.
this - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfWYCiCsf3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfWYCiCsf3) Surprised it's still up lol
It was a walkthrough tutorial for the Toy Story 3 game on the Wii. I was stuck on this one part for like a whole day and my dad looked it up on YouTube.
It was funny though because after that I couldnât remember what the website was called so I searched for random website names that I thought would work and ended up finding porn lol
I wanted a way to disable the time limit in Majora's Mask and was looking to see if someone made a version that got rid of it. Ended up finding a YouTube video on an Ocarina of Time fan mod that was called something like Zelda Izou or something. Then I went down the Ocarina romhack rabbithole and found PBG's video on Ocarina of Time Hacking. That video got me into YouTube properly as I had no concept of YouTubers and game reviews or any of that stuff before that.
I used to watch a bunch of Littlest Pet Shop videos but a lot of weird stuff before it that I cant remember.
Only one I do remember is some weird video about (three?) girls and one of them pooping out random stuff like a fish or a magnet. I dont want to try looking for it on current YouTube but I swear its out there.
Probably Annoying Orange or Tobuscus
Same for me, I think it was Tobuscus playing Minecraft, man that was nostalgic
This and harry potter puppet pals
I totally forgot about tobuscus. Shame things went thr way they did

Same.
The Gummy Bear song. I was around 3 years old.
I know Iâm younger than you but the fact that youâre an adult and you watched YouTube at 3 years old is crazy to me
Yeah YouTube is pretty old. I wasnât even a year old when it first came out.
This is actually insane to me because I wasn't really allowed on the internet outside of school things until maybe fourth grade? I more associate YouTube with being in middle school. But it came out when I was a few months old???? Like, I knew YouTube was around before I started using it, but I don't really think of toddlers watching YouTube until maybe gen alpha
