YouTube Favorites

For whatever weird reason, many of the videos uploaded in the very early days of YouTube evade piracy detection better than newer uploads do. For example, I have one of my favorite scenes from Genshiken favorited from back in 2006 or so and it's still up, but a newer version of the upload that I also bookmarked some time in 2013 or 2014 -- just in case I ever lost the original -- was taken down several months after I bookmarked it.

In fact, out of my original first ten bookmarks ever, not a single one of them had been taken down!

... Until some time in the last few months. Just checked my favorites list tonight and noticed that my very first ever YouTube bookmark, the fifth Japanese ending credits, "EYES", to the television series Yu-Gi-Oh!, has been deleted. Tellingly, it wasn't the video itself that got flagged or taken down -- the person who uploaded it got his entire account banned. An account nearly a full decade old, banned in 2015 after one too many copyright violation notices. Sad.

In memoriam, and quite fittingly, this amazing rendition of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, my second ever YouTube favorite. *raises glass* You will be missed, YGO ED5 video. Cheers.

And to lighten the mood, my third ever YouTube favorite.

Last but not least, a recent re-upload of my very first favorite to ever get taken down. Oh, ShoPro. I give this person's re-upload six months max before it's taken down.

I remember watching a different beauty pageant contestant who, when asked who Confucius was, said that he was, "The god of confusion."

This will always be my favourite YouTube video. And it's not gay, that's just how things were in the 80s.

Man. The music, the spastic special effect synched to the drum beat when he first mounts the guy ... so good!

I like those tacky lawyer commercials. Here's one lunatic I watched as a kid because we got the Fox feed out of Rochester:

Jim "THE HAMMER" Shapiro


And here's an old Touhou Mentos ad that I loved

Always loved Jaboody Dubs. This one and the Banoodle one are the best.
