Obviously there's the most viewed of all time, which would count, but there's also thousands of absolute classics that are lesser known. I can only recall some because they made a specific impression on me. There should be a community to archive those and pseudo-rank them through upvotes.

If there isn't one, nobody steal my idea, I'll make one on sh.itjust.works.

Sneak peek

Also I would be remiss if I didn't mention lemmy.myserv.one here. I had never seen Streets 1:12 until I saw it referenced in one of the many entertaining taglines that u/Thief added to the server and I decided to check it out. What a rush!

Edit:

Ok I've finally been able to create the community. FYI if you're making a community, don't use capital letters in the URL name. You can use it in the display name though. I'll give some time for people to post their stuff.

NB: remove the ?si= part of a YouTube link and everything following it.

This is the share ID, and creates a link between your account and any account that watches it, indicating that you have shared a link with them. They track this to try to figure out what videos you, and the person you shared it with, might like in common.

Some of the easiest tracking to avoid just by removing a string from a URL.

Lmao yes this is exactly what I'm talking about, I've never seen this before

I'm making the community but I'm having some technical difficulties, bear with me.

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is it a friendly bear or should we be worried for you?

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Let's just say I'd rather be with a man than this bear. But the bear is gone.

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Did the bear do what was intended/requested of it, or was it a naughty bear?

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm just tripping balls from your username formatting, perhaps you should talk to @muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Woah they have an Aussie flag in their username, that's cool! (they missed a character in their username though lol)

Also if you'd like your username in a cool font here you go:

[–] Sylence@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I would sub. There are so many videos I know I've forgotten over the years.

Obligatory Charlie the Unicorn https://youtu.be/CsGYh8AacgY

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago

And that series just recently got a finale, too.

[–] iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago

I think the post button doesn't work for me from lemm.ee. Never forget the Techno Viking! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjCdB5p2v0Y

Just remembered All Your Base Are Belong To Us: https://youtu.be/qItugh-fFgg

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

That predates youtube in fact. It was from YTMND or Newgrounds if I remember correctly.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Saved, waiting for a community link.

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

I'll edit it in whenever I can actually make this community 😤

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Not specifically for youtube videos, but half the examples people are posting here aren't originally from youtube anyway.

Antique Memes Roadshow- !antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

How do you see the most viewed youtube videos of all time?

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Just Google it. Lol but seriously.

IIRC there's like the evolution of dance, Charlie bit my finger, and more? Idk.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Jean Luc Picard of the U-S-S Enterprise says... make it so and fire ze missiles. Even if you are le tired.

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

iamascuteasaborg

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Jean Luc was from YTMND, but yeah, absolute classic

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

And the end of the world was originally on albino black sheep - there are versions of both up on YouTube now though.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'll make one on sh.itjust.works.

Well? We're waiting.

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It's not working right now. Surely you can at least wait until tomorrow. If I can't make it by then, then it's my bad

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I guess sometimes sh.itdoesnt.work

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

For the curious, it was because I tried to put capital letters in the community name. Don't blame sh.itjust.works, blame Lemmy.

But also blame yourselves for not donating enough, coding isn't easy or free.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Obviously take your time. Sorry if the comment came of wrong.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You really need the GIF from caddyshack for the appropriate tone!

[–] Shameless@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I really want to see this sub! I think this could be something that could encompass videos like vines or tiktoks

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

11 years is not classic YouTube. My kid is older than that video. Classic YouTube is from the early days before the algorithms ruined everything.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago
[–] fin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

I don't know the community that does it, but it sounds really cool
