That specific video actually predated YouTube itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badgers_(animation)

And it’s still up on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EIyixC9NsLI

That started as a flash animation, right? So. many. wasted. hours. watching flash animations. It's amazing how quickly flash disappeared after the dominos were set in motion.
