April 1st, 2008; When YouTube Rick Rolled... The World

[Attewir]

Give him a break, he had Facebook at 2008!

[HellothereimAmanda]

Fuck new youtube! I want old youtube back! >:(

[chokladen5]

[Tikut0]

[MLPwn]

[Corkoth55]

[hannahfleming1]

hahaha fucking class!

[Oxcocobella]

I miss the good ols days

[eduarvera23]

old youtube had no hd =\

[reverande180]

If only there was some kind of button where you could click it and there was a list of all the past youtube features click on one and you would get to use that youtube feature. For example, you could decide if you wanted the yellow suscribe button or the 1911 button. Thumbs up if you agree this is a good idea.

(sorry for the typo)

[reverande180]

Dear Youtube,

I think I speak for everyone when I say WE WANT THE OLD YOUTUBE BACK!!!!

Thank you

[MoshieCraft]

Oh yes! I remember lol I was so mad ;I

[FlyYoshi2600]

[pokemonrulez121]

@FlyYoshi2600 o5 b

[HyperSonicStudio42]

Minecraft: Only reason to go on the internet. FUCK YOU GOOGLE

[Lescazza]

this actually happened i got so pissed when it did

[TonyzTone]

@0racun "On the internet for max of three years..." Okay, maybe that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

[TonyzTone]

@0racun "The internets dead" That may be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

[lopresti4]

FUCK!!! THS GUY RICKROLLED US!!!

[izzyster97]

@0racun WOW...what a big nerd...



[SquareMealTV]

how original.  you recorded a video of a video!

[GamerBoy575]

i wish i could rewind time back to youtube 2009 that was when i joined and old youtube was starting to die

[Jostyheaven]

i read on wikipedia and it says that on april 1st someone did this so YOUR THE FIRST GUY WHO DID THIS LLLLOOOOLLLL

[GPMSharpCommand]

"More from YTRickRollsYou" lol

[jazjaz130]

@everyone talking about old youtube: GET OVER IT.

[tweetyaja]

It is a computer VIRUS!

[KaiserVadin]

bring back " also watching now " that was a cool feature !

[francotico1]

I miss Old Youtube when there wasn't any ads, No music from VEVO, Famous Yellow Subscribe Button which is now white, when video info was to your right, when Youtube April Fools Jokes were epic 2011 joke was pathetic. Damn Youtube you screwed up everything now that you come this far PLZ bring back Original Youtube :(

[alexistheman102657]

@francotico1 remember the "also watching now" function?

[mkfan09]

@francotico1 I'm so sorry but Progress ravages everything it touches and theres nothing we can do about it.

[francotico1]

@mkfan09 I didn't understand any of that

[mkfan09]

@francotico1 Simplified:Get over it. Sound any nicer?

[0wolfplayer0]

@francotico1 Don't worry. It's because Google just bought youtube and is trying to recover their money by putting ads.

[francotico1]

@0wolfplayer0 They have a lot of money how can they put ads if they have enough money?

[0wolfplayer0]

@francotico1 I TOLD YOU! Google bought youtube last year or so. I'm just guessing that they are just trying to recover some of the money they spent to buy youtube.

[XxTH3C0BRAxX]

@francotico1 well some people never have enough money remember that. greed is a powerfull thing

[theorigamimagic]

@francotico1 google messed it up ;(

[francotico1]

@theorigamimagic I know that, they bought YouTube for some reason.

[ElRickillero]

@francotico1 Which was 2011 joke?

[francotico1]

@ElRickillero It was the 1911 button you press it, stupid music plays and video is colored in brown.

[Gabeebo]

@francotico1 i miss the early 2010 video player, they had to change it because the zlob trojan made it look like that player, but i agree, i want the 2010 early video player. :(

[francotico1]

@Gabeebo I'm already used to this year's player but the ads make it annoying

[DeathAngleful]

@francotico1 I like the setup but its those ADS and VEVO and the WMG!!

[Sanderke123]

@francotico1 its because google bought youtube :(

[francotico1]

@Sanderke123 After Youtube was founded Google bought them the next year

[ninjaprincess113]

@francotico1 what was 2011 joke anyways?

[francotico1]

@ninjaprincess113 It was a 1911 button you press it some dumb music starts playing and the video is in a brown color. That was pretty much it. It was stupid

[ninjaprincess113]

@francotico1 THAT IS LAME!!!

[francotico1]

@ninjaprincess113 That's what I mean by pathetic

[ElekTrikJ0k3r]

@francotico1 Well if you think about it... VEVO guarantees that music videos won't be taken down, when before if you got caught posting them they would get taken down. The new subscribe button gives youtubers a chance to edit and personalize they're own subscribe button. The new youtube isn't all that bad. If you want to start paying for youtube and watch the videos on it, I suggest you deal with it.

[francotico1]

@ElekTrikJ0k3r nice mention but still the ads are pretty damn annoying

[RagdollProductions12]

@francotico1 why, we need ads so that youtube needs more muney.

[NIRVANArazor]

@RagdollProductions12 its owned by google.. no they dont..

[RagdollProductions12]

@NIRVANArazor the we means google, i do not work for google but the people who say (ads) one more time are wrong

[Mr4pp]

So.... i just got rick rolled now?

[08posdom]

windows xp all the way across the sky :D world gets rick roll'd 2011? april 1st ???

[trydjttd]

@08posdom

[colazocker13]

Awww I fucking miss 2008 :/ Windows XP and old youtube Y_Y

[bmcgee136557]

@colazocker13 i still have windows xp and it works fast like it was reborn

[shiftymorgan]

143 people still hold grudges for getting owned on that day....excellent...

[WalrusFever]

Do this thing again YouTube!!

[alix1493]

Me gusta la moto, me gustas tu.

Me gusta la lluvia, me gustas tu.

Me gusta volver, me gustas tu.

Me gusta marijuana, me gustas tu.

Me gusta colombiana, me gustas tu.

Me gusta la montaña, me gustas tu.

Me gusta la noche, me gustas tu.

[pcvsxbox360]

@skallagrimur yeah i get it, but think about it, youtube in the beginning had none of the sort that we see in youtube today, there even ruining it by putting the comment rating thing which people are more interested in getting thumbs up than watching the video

[pcvsxbox360]

@skallagrimur we never had to pay before, we never had to watch adds either or have wmg up youtubes ass before!

[modernwarfare2mas7er]

i miss the old youtube u know like no vevo no ads etc.

[SasuAnnaIchi]

*missing the old YouTube* :(

[YNeedPeopleLikeMe]

[grindcore4allsbro]

[Kosmin0000]

[WEEKDAAYZ]

[WEEKDAAYZ]

[Callumlilley]

[WebkinzRocker99]

Old YouTube FTW!

[Kinglion645]

[oohhpie101ROBLOX]

You can see the titles different

[NoW0rldOrder]

this was the best youtube

[realtremil]

i miss the old youtube. star ratings...who is also watching now was pretty cool

[spongebobfan334]

I remember this. I had an account made back in 2007,

I was so mad.. LONG LIVE THE OLD YOUTUBE

[Caolancfc2k8]

Youtube was 100 times better back then

[pcvsxbox360]

the old youtube. no adds, no wmg, thumbs up if you agree.

[tostrong4you]

@pcvsxbox360 Hell yea

[mahasma]

@pcvsxbox360 And best of all, no people asking for thumbs up! Dont press either thumb button if you agree.

[pcvsxbox360]

@mahasma haha yes! i agree, i only asked for thumbs now so in case some guy from youtube sees this video they would see my comment first since it somehow made it to be one of the highest rated comments.. i really want youtube back to what it was, its such a fail now.

[TheTwelfthDoctor1]

@pcvsxbox360 THAT IS SO FREAKING ANNOYING NOW SHUT UP PLEASE

[pcvsxbox360]

@TheTwelfthDoctor1 dude you shutup, 49 other people apparently agree with me, i only asked for thumbs up so people from youtube have more of a chance in seeing our complaints.

[TheTwelfthDoctor1]

@pcvsxbox360 Well, I'm really sick of it. It's just annoying. Sorry I used caps lock on you. I'm really annoyed by seeing it 10 times a day.

[pcvsxbox360]

@TheTwelfthDoctor1 yeah k its fine :P

[cjtk4]

@pcvsxbox360 sry wats wmg

[pcvsxbox360]

@cjtk4 wmg is warner music group, they keep deleting peoples videos and muting them because we use a portion of someones song in one of our videos, its annoying.

[cjtk4]

@pcvsxbox360 o thnks 4 informing me

[pcvsxbox360]

@cjtk4 no prob

[JesusWasAPunk31]

@pcvsxbox360 Download AdBlockPlus in Firefox or Chrome. Every (or nearly avery) adds disappear.

[pcvsxbox360]

@JesusWasAPunk31 i didnt think it would work.. but thanks ill try it :D

[Alexhackedone]

@pcvsxbox360 Without ads youtube dies.

[pcvsxbox360]

@Alexhackedone ive already been told that.. but they didnt have ads back then remember? no sitting through 2 minute ads to watch a 10 second video..

[Alexhackedone]

@pcvsxbox360 That was before they sold youtube to some else

[MrUnhandy]

@pcvsxbox360

*sigh*
