If I may be pedantic for a second, The End of the World was originally from albinoblacksheep. YTPs came much later ๐Ÿค“

Now for a tiny subset of my trigger phrases:

"Don't forget your umbrella!"

"Tomorrow I'll-โ€

"If that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's too bad!"

Oh man, albinoblacksheep was so cursed. So many things my young eyes weren't ready to see, including a poorly drawn cartoon clip of a dog walking in on her humans giving/receiving a hand job lmao. Weird times.

The worst thing I remember seeing on there was a crude animation of a very graphic and violent crime (I'd rather not specify) set to Tiny Tim's "Tiptoe Through the Tulips." My friend and I loved it and sang/pantomimed it regularly, but yeah... That animator was either pretty disturbed or otherwise 12 years old.

For my nightmare fuel, some of the animations from Rathergood (Spoonguard being the one I can't forget) were terrifying.

Tales of the Blode, though? That was my shit.

I have no idea what YTP is, but I spent a lot of time on Albinoblacksheep and reading a bunch of webcomics every day. In the late 90's and early 2000's, I spent most of my time on Neopets or trying to find things I was interested in before Google and Wikipedia existed. It was a lot harder back then.

YTP doesnt make sense as a phrase since most of these vids were before YT even existed

Yeah. I'm pretty sure the Hampster Dance predates the Y2K bug.

Just checked...it was posted to GeoCities in 1998.
