I have so many off these from funnyjunk, NewGrounds, eBaumsworld, and a half dozen other websites i have forgotten the name of from 20 years ago. The Llama song, Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, Do you like Waffles?, Schfifty Five, Cows With Guns.

That's all stuff from before i started using YouTube so heavily. It used to be that YouTube was just where i woukd watch Halo videos like RvB, Machinima, or Matchmaking.

Back when the internet felt like an endless sea of small random websites to discover. I know it was unpolished as hell, but I miss that compared to everything being on the same handful of corporate-samey sites.

AlbinoBlackSheep is another big pre-YT meme site I remember from back then

They introduced me to ratatat

That's the big one i knew i was forgetting. Absolutely wild times sharing those videos with my brother and friends

I learned a long time ago that I'd prefer an unpolished, genuine experience to a polished, packaged one.

I miss when websites were full of original content and not the endless slog of reposted memes making the same joke on the same template about slightly different topics.

That internet still exists. But you used to hear about those sites from friends, and now you don't anymore.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 3 points 9 months ago

Good point. I do miss when someone would find a funny new random website, and it would sustain us for weeks.

"Hey, Bill hasn't seen Putin riding a ritz cracker! Stop everything and come over to my computer - it's my homepage."

Don't forget Badgers, Charlie the Unicorn, Shoes, PBJ Time, and, maybe most importantly, the GI Joe re-dubs!

No one ever mentions crab battle

A lot of the stuff posted here is years older than YouTube. All your base or Peanut Butter Jelly Time came out in 2001, 2002.
