5 Nostalgic YouTube Videos To Watch When You Need A Laugh

In This Article:

I'm going to be sharing some of my most favorite videos to exist on the internet, and try to limit them to 5, which is really hard.

But this way you know you're getting the best of the best. I think most people would agree with me when I say the golden age of YouTube was during its earlier years. Here are the YouTube videos that stand the test of time, and make me laugh to this day.

‘THE FEAR AWAKENED / STORY’ – OlanRogers

Olan Rogers is an absolute comedic genius and if you know of him, you know that he's an amazing storyteller. This is one of my favorites: it's a simple story from his childhood, but told in a way to make you pee your pants. I recommend binge-watching all of his stories! (Ghost in the Stalls, Echoes through the Wall…)

Tenacious D – ‘Tribute’ (Music Video)

Jack Black used to have a band with Kyle Gass called 'Tenacious D'. I don't know much else about the band except this song and video. (If you've already seen it you KNOW it's worth another watch.) It was made in 2010 and to this day I know every word. It's hard to explain, but basically Jack Black fights off a demon through song. It's very weird and catchy. Check it out and reminisce in the nostalgia with me!

‘Whips’ - BalloonShop

BalloonShop is a channel you absolutely need to get on board with. I swear each video you watch of theirs gets funnier and funnier. They made skit videos from around 2007-2010 and Olan Rogers (from video #1) is part of the crew. It was extremely difficult for me to choose one to recommend, but I think 'Whips' is the right video to get you hooked. Watch it and then PLEASE watch, like… all of their videos. Some of my favorites are: 'Egg Nog', 'Jellybeans', 'I'm Enjoying A Treat, Derrick!', 'Brahan's Books', 'Hot Pepper'…. and literally all of them, so go watch

'Double Rainbow’ – Yosemitebear62

This video just makes me extremely happy. The excitement that this man has for a double rainbow is contagious. His tears remind me to appreciate the little things and the beautiful world around us! Plus, it's hilarious.

‘Numa Numa’ – Dork Daily

Y'all KNOW I had to include this. The most iconic video on the internet to this day, since it was uploaded in 2006. That's all I have to say.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
