B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping classic YouTube videos from the mid-aughts into the ol’ VCR. 

I had a lot of fun putting together the piece about the commercials I grew up watching last week. We all know I’m a YouTube girlie, so I wanted to serve you up more nostalgia. 

If you were in high school around the same time I was (2006-2010), you grew up with a lot of iconic YouTube videos. 

Don’t get me wrong. I still love YouTube, but it was the Wild West back then. 

You didn’t have to worry about the algorithm, so creators could truly do whatever they wanted (within reason, obviously). 

These videos also established such a specific sense of humor that I’m sure will explain why I am the way I am. I’m also 100% guilty of lining my Myspace profile with an insane amount of GIFs from these videos. 

As with all things from this time period, there are some jokes that don’t hold up. 

And, well, Salad Fingers is Salad Fingers. 

Finally, some of these videos are the first episode in a series, but I’m only including the original videos. 

Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite YouTube videos from the aughts:

I’m not sure if the original upload to this video still exists, but I’ll update this link if I can find it.

The End of the World 

It’s honestly frightening how accurate this is.
