That's the problem: people don't wait until they have something WORTH posting.

This is the first video ever uploaded to Youtube by one of the website's co-founders on April 23, 1955 2005. It...is a giant turd. I really think it set a precedent for the 99.9% of videos on Youtube that suck ass and never should have been uploaded in the first place. *banging head on keyboard* WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN A CAT VIDEO?!

Hit the jump for why elephants are so interesting. SPOILER: It's their trunks!

This Was the First Video Ever Uploaded to YouTube [gizmodo]

Thanks to Liz, who agrees the best video on Youtube would be some jackass doing something stupid and hurting himself while a cute kitten reacts. OMG YES!

  • Looks like a young FPS russia

  • When the elephants are tossing you nuts&biscuits at the zoo, you know it's high time to start a diet

  • OLD!!! Oh wait.

    So the rumors are wrong, it wasn't about a guy in a cat costume playing DDR while two robuts  play rock, paper, scissors while eating fire popcorn.

    i think he was trying to make a lame joke about the elephants penis, the pause between making you think hes going to say penis, when he hilariously says trunk instead. oh so funny. definitely a good archetype for every other youtube video out there

  • This just goes to show that the socially inept are usually the ones who make billions of dollars.

  • EmirSc

    now show us the first video uploaded to redtube

  • That was very disappointing.

    Considering Youtube was intended to be a social network/dating site with videos, and also considering the nature of the internet, I'm not surprised how horribly wrong it went.
