The channel called "tim hunkin".

They make youtube videos from really old TV shows where this even older guy, a true genius, explains techonology in such a simple but awesome way.

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

[–] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Definitely check out Wizard People, Dear Reader and his biography of Ulysses S Grant if you liked Washington.

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...

Little advice: remove the first & and everything after it from your link, that's just additional tracking info.

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.

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 hours ago

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.

Shoe-bop, which I'm not linking because apparently the audio is now forbidden. Although I wasn't around for that period of YouTube.

One or two guys dancing in wobbly, blowup, latex, sumo-suits.

Kicking their legs up. Full body shot, inside a house/room.

Can't find it.
