Do you remember the time when you first discovered YouTube? What was the very first video you saw on the site?

I don't recall my first YouTube video, but I know I watched animations like Badger, badger, badger and Homestar Runner way before YouTube. I also remember using Realplayer and Quicktime formats before YouTube.

Homestar Runner

Yes! Yes! I'll be bingewatching SBEmails all day now. Thanks, Luigison!

Speaking of Strong Bad emails, I also used to enjoy the TMK Mailbag. Staff bantering was enjoyable.

The internet of the early 2000s was a fine place.

I still listen to the TMK mailbag podcast every couple of years.

The first youtube video I watched was a speedrun of Super Mario Bros. 3. I waited a good two hours to watch it over dial-up. (Cable internet had been around for a long time, but my dad was reluctant to sign up for it.) I remember thinking it was "so much like Google Video, except better." They were bought by Google almost immediately.

Hell if I remember. Something Mario-related, no doubt. Probably an uploaded flash video.

SMW ROM hacks. It was a man named therealninjaboy (no spaces). He was cool.

If my favorite videos are any indication, my first video was the Gamecube tech demo video, with 128 Marios running around on a Monopoly-like disk.

My first video was an epitome of old YouTube. It had [dukar]ty metal at the beginning, Windows Movie Maker-tier effects, and was focused on a teenager pranking his little brother. (Language warning!)

I wonder what would happen if I were born early enough for this to be my first:

I don't really remember too well. Some of my earliest I had seen might have been some video game music (specifically Mario) and YouTube Poops (those are really funny when you're 12). I had also seen some Yogscast Minecraft videos (before they started selling out) but those definitely weren't my first.

My earliest non-deleted Favorite is Guy Hurls Plungers At People's Backs.

Next after that is Dancing man wearing a horse mask cooks wild mushrooms.

There was this one Mario-related flash video called "Super Mario Dy Ess" or something like that, anyone remember it? Can't find it via google...

I just remembered what the first one was. I was off by a lot.

My mom showed this to me when she saw it on either Facebook or MySpace.
