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.

Kinetic typography was a whole thing for like six months in 2007, and it was because this one example worked so well. This was the one that took off. I just don't know if it was the point of origin, or a point of inflection.
