For the best videos in the history of YouTube. All sh.itjust.works server rules apply here. This is an archival community so moderation will be strict to keep the quality of posts at a consistently high level.

Some Rules

  1. No reposts unless it's been over 12 months and the original post wasn't highly upvoted.
  2. Tag NSFW
  3. Videos must be from before 2018. If they have been deleted and reuploaded, please make a note of that.
  4. Videos need not be originally from YouTube. If they were uploaded to some other platform (atomfilms, ebaumsworld, newgrounds) but fit the definition of an internet classic, that's fine. But you must post a link to a YouTube reupload, not to another website.

I was just listening to this today!

Side note: Neil Cicierega did Ultimate Showdown, Two Trucks Potter Puppet Pals, the Mouth Albums, Brodyquest, AND Ariel Needs Legs. Probably more that I'm forgetting or haven't seen yet. This guy gets his face twice on internet Mt. Rushmore.

I think this is a new grounds classic it was originally a flash vid

Yeah, that and albinoblacksheep, which came a little later. This, Geeks in Love, and I've Got Some Falling to do were top of the list for a long time on both. My friend brought up Threebrain the other day, too. Miss the old days of watching this junk on the school Apple computers. The groovy colored ones.

Watch on Archive.org (2.8MiB) via Ruffle

Note: this was more difficult to find as it is not tagged (such as subject:"flash animation") while a rasterized version of it (4K upscale at 252.3M) is.

You are correct.

The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

Lemon Demon

Old Godzilla was hoppin' around Tokyo City lika a big playground When suddenly Batman burst from the shade And hit Godzilla with a bat grenade Godzilla got pissed and began to attack But didn't expect to be blocked by Shaq Who proceeded to open up a can of Shaq Fu When Aaron Carter came out of the blue

And he started beating up Shaquille O'Neal Then they both got flattened by the Batmobile But before he could make it back to the Batcave Abraham Lincoln popped out of his grave And took an AK-47 out from under his hat And blew Batman away with a rat-a-tat-tat But he ran out of bullets and he ran away Because Optimus Prime came to save the day

This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny Good guys bad guys and explosions As far as the eye can see And only one will survive I wonder who it will be This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny

Godzilla took a bite out of Optimus Prime Like Scruff McGruff took a bite out of crime Then Shaq came back covered in a tire track But Jackie Chan jumped out and landed on his back And Batman was injured and trying to get steady When Abraham Lincoln came back with a machete But suddenly something caught his leg and he tripped Indiana Jones took him out with his whip

Then he saw Godzilla sneaking up from behind And he reached for his gun which he just couldn't find Because Batman stole it and he shot and he missed And Jackie Chan deflected it with his fist Then he jumped in the air and he did a somersault While Abraham Lincoln tried to polevault Onto Optimus Prime, but they collided in the air Then they both got hit by a Care Bear Stare

This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny Good guys bad guys and explosions As far as the eye can see And only one will survive I wonder who it will be This is the ultimate showdown

Angels sang out In immaculate chorus Down from the heavens Descended Chuck Norris Who delivered a kick Which could shatter bones Into the crotch Of Indiana Jones

Who fell over on the ground Writhing in pain As Batman changed back Into Bruce Wayne But Chuck saw through His clever disguise And he crushed Batman's head In between his thighs

Then Gandalf the Grey And Gandalf the White And Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight And Benito Mussolini And the Blue Meanie And Cowboy Curtis And Jambi the Genie Robocop The Terminator Captain Kirk And Darth Vader Lo Pan Superman Every single Power Ranger Bill S. Preston And Theodore Logan Spock The Rock Doc Ock And Hulk Hogan

All came out of nowhere lightning fast And they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw With civilians looking on in total awe The fight raged on for a century Many lives were claimed but eventually The champion stood The rest saw their better Mr. Rogers in a blood-stained sweater

This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny Good guys, bad guys and explosions As far as the eye can see And only one will survive I wonder who it will be

This is the ultimate showdown (This is the ultimate showdown) This is the ultimate showdown! (This is the ultimate showdown) This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
