YouTube began all the way back in February 2005. Which means it’s 10 years old this month. Time flies when you’re having fun. And viral videos help punctuate all our lives with entertaining asides.
This video shows what videos have really resonated with the general public over the last decade, with 101 of the best viral videos uploaded to YouTube during that time.
Kicking things off is the first video ever posted on YouTube, showing Jawed Karim, one of the three co-founders, enjoying a day at the zoo.
All the biggies are there, from Rickrolling to flashmobs, from Real Life Mario Kart to Key and Peele. And plenty more in between. It’s nostalgic nerdiness at its finest.
