You can really see why they were rejected, but maybe they should have commissioned someone else instead.
14 years of experience has made me much more sympathetic to that man than I was when this first went viral
I have definitely had this experience with my dog, except it was a flock of ducks and he swam halfway across a lake after them
Never fails to make me laugh. Oh, Fenton you silly dog.
Unsurprisingly given my profession...
Little advice: remove the first & and everything after it from your link, that's just additional tracking info.

There are so many!
While we're in Australia, I'll just be waiting for a mate
Moving to a neighboring country, New Zealand Decking Advert. Easily one of the funniest ads ever, one of the few I'll watch voluntarily.
This is a music video, but very much in the spirit of old YouTube: Horse Outside
From the same guys: RickRoll'd The Movie
Schlangemann, du bist so... (I don't think this is the original though, despite being 10 years old)
Much of the Important Videos playlist
I'll stop now, this is already too much lol
God I haven't seen or thought of the gmod banana phone in a very long time
Pancakes in the morning by gir. I could only find a reupload I wonder what happened to the original channel
Sadly he died during covid.
That is a surprisingly depressing piece of information
Some of the first autotune vids
Ain't nobody got time for that
And this one about Diablo Immortal announcement at Blizzcon a few years back
Autotune the news was great
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
Definitely check out Wizard People, Dear Reader and his biography of Ulysses S Grant if you liked Washington.
MondoMedia videos were classic Youtube for me. They made the Here come Dr. Tran videos.
Also illWillPress videos staring Foamy the Squirrel Like so
OH MY GOD, YOU FUCKING KIDS, I'VE GOT PLACES TO BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
It's at least 12 years old. Pretty sure it's older though.
Wow, A) I 100% forgot these existed, and B) holy shit they did 94 of them??

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.
Any number of classic YouTube Poops.
And here's a more recent one that I thought was well put together
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...

can't understand a word of it, not like you need to. comedy gold to me.
Cat. I'm a kitty cat. And I dance dance dance and I dance dance dance.
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.
First one that comes to mind is Why engineers shouldn't defend. Love it so much. Glad people still make similar videos after years.

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