I'll start with two of mine:
I remember watching a video that was featured on Yahoo! Video (remember that??) in the mid-to-late-2000s that was someone pranking an audience of people into thinking that there was a new video game when in reality it was just a pre-programmed video.
The game involved four-player co-op, spongebob player models, and lots of glitches. i SWEAR this video was on the front page of yahoo! video (or some other non-yt video site) at some point but i just can't find it for the life of me.
Good news:
I finally found that video I was talking about in the OP! It's
this one! I think, at least. I think I'm remembering it slightly wrong but I'm like 85% sure that this was the one I saw when I was a teenager. If not, then it was definitely the same performance but either on a different date (and a different audience), or the same one with different editing. Either way, I'm so happy that I found it again. Special thanks to
this guy on /r/tipofmytongue for being what I'm assuming is the only other person on the planet that remembers this video (from back when Revver was a thing. Anyone else remember Revver???)
Also, by sheer happenstance, I stumbled upon another thing I completely forgot I remembered until I uh, happened upon someone that was archiving it. It's an ancient Flash-based netart site/experience called
The Woodcutter by Josh Kimberg. Somehow stumbled upon this gallery of confusion when I was a wee lad, and I've never been able to find it until Kicks archived and reuploaded it! I'm also fairly certain that Josh also made a similar Flash netart gallery called
The Cave, but I haven't been able to find that one yet. Here's hoping that he'll reupload that one as well!
