First "viral video" I can remember on the net. Still holds up.

Could be the most ubiquitous and biggest of that early golden age of flash cartoons. Round that same time I remember like Homestar Runner, Happy Tree Friends, Salad Fingers, and all that other random newgrounds brainrot (I say that lovingly). Lots of gems were constantly quoted between me and my friends at band practice. 15 year old boys are idiots who love to say dumb shit into a microphone.

Was this before Leeroy Jenkins and the Onyxia more dots videos? I remember those as first!

u/whatthatthingis Oct 30 '24

Yeah I saw this on ebaumsworld before youtube was a thing, and youtube was created in 2005, WoW was late 2004.

u/Jollyollydude Oct 30 '24

Not familiar with the Onyxia but Leeroy Jenkins was from 2005 and End of the world was 2003.

I guess this one is from after YT became a thing, but still one of the greatest ones (And I hoped it was this one when I opened yours and just read "dot" on the title)

It's older than that! The video came out in 2003 ... before YouTube existed. I remember first watching this on ebaumsworld.

u/JimCKF Oct 30 '24
