It's safe to say that the invention of YouTube changed our generation and the way we interact. I remember when we were first introduced to it in 5th or 6th grade. My friends and I would spend hours on end looking up random and pointless videos on YouTube. Looking back, I see how much time we wasted doing this, but I also remember the hours of gut-splitting laughter that resulted from these videos. So, here's a look into my late childhood entertainment, and the entertainment of many others my age.
1. Muffins
This is a video with absolutely no point. It is also a video with basically no storyline. This video consists mostly of an endless string of muffin flavors.
2. Charlie The Unicorn
This is a video of a journey to the majestic Candy Mountain. It is a long journey filled with pointless banter ending with a surprise twist. Stay tuned to see what it is.
3. Potter Puppet Pals: The Mysterious Ticking Noise
This video contains a catchy tune that will be stuck in your head for years, decades, eons even. Fun fact: When my friends and I were about 5th graders, we recreated this video at a sleepover. The finished product was epic, though I'm unsure where it ended up. Enjoy!
4. The Duck Song
This video shows many emotions through the character of a small business owner: a man at a lemonade stand. This man goes from happy to frustrated to distraught very quickly with the help of an ever so persistent duck.
5. Marcel The Shell With Shoes On
This video details the life of an extremely well rounded shell. Marcel can do many things that I couldn't even dream of (hang-gliding for example). Also, the voice used in this video is absolutely adorable.
If you have made it this far, I would like to now apologize for this time of your life that I have wasted. You can never get these fourteen minutes and six seconds of your life back, and for that, I am truly sorry. After re-watching all of these videos that I found so humorous in my childhood, I now realize how pointless they were and how little sense they make. But hey, at the time, they were amazing. I hope they brought you back to a younger you!
