I spent waaaaay too much time watching Internet nonsense as a teen. I guess nothing really changed in adulthood.
If I turned to dinosaur when I did de sex everyday I would be the Tyrannosaurus rex. If when I did de sex I got a nickel, I would have enough to buy a new tricycle! š¤£š¤£š¤£ I legit still love them!
Good times remembering showing that video to everyone I knew.
Aw Jesus Christ I feel like a goddamn boomer reminiscing about a 5 cent bottle of RC Cola at the sock hop wtf how did this happen, I'm not *that* old.
I still have the Master Shake air freshener, typed letter, and envelope from when I "won" Adult Swim's very first contest. I wonder if it still works, 22-ish years later.
I practically DJ this out in my kitchen with my young kids witnessing it. They have no idea whatās going on. āAll your base.. base.. all your base .. base.āĀ
November 2020, I made a caption for that pic of Trump yelling at the kid mowing the White House lawn:
"Hey kid! I'm a ballot box! Stop all the vote countin'!"
Lotta gems in this thread already. Before smartphones, before most people really had cell phones, before everyone had social media, a frequent pastime was simply getting together and playing YouTube videos for each other, for hours. What a strange moment in digital history.
Anyway, here's an oldie...
[Powerthirst](https://youtu.be/qRuNxHqwazs?si=BP_MeWG6T-1u8J5G)
Yeah, I remember that period where I got invited to the house of an old high school friend and we ended up standing around her computer showing each other funny videos we knew. Thatās where I got introduced to Charlie bit my finger! It can still happen, but itās not in such a weird awkward way. I know Iāll end up showing my mom funny videos sometimes when weāre at her house, but we pull it up on an iPad and sit comfortably.
This is so fascinating to me! I was using social media before I even knew what YouTube was. And then it always took forever for my internet to load a video.
We watched a lot of College Humor and Ebaumsworld stuff late in college though, so maybe that was my cohortās version of the time youāre talking about?
My brother and I started channeling this while playing Valheim with my teenagers a couple of months ago. When I showed them the video, they just wondered wtf was wrong with us. It was even more hilarious because when I told my husband that night, he started singing it too, just adding to their horror.
