This really was a landmark ad. "We will do zany bullshit to sell a product" was pretty rare before that, but felt like it totally took over for a while.

Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

I remember a meme when that commercial came out that said: “Remember the weird kid in school whod say some nonsense phrase he found hysterical? He works in advertising now”
90’s jack in the Box ads come to mind
incredibly hot black guy says "I'm on a horse!" as it is revealed he has been on a horse, I laugh so hard I stroke out and wake up with left-side paralysis, funniest shit I've ever seen, epic bacon
First comment on youtube video, 12 years ago:
The person who decided to add the line "I'm on a horse" needs to win the Nobel price for epicness.
I just read that and saw the date stamp! WHY DID WE TALK LIKE THIS!!?!?!?!?

Dropping an ironic "epic" is peak comedy

It was a followup to the Bruce Cambell ads, and YouTube was young and new. Over the summer of 2010 they ran short response videos every day for months. There was a whole genre of parody videos.
