Lost online video megathread

What?! He got rid of that Kurt Eichenwald video?    That's just sad.

Oh what, he removed that too?!

That is sad, but somewhat understandable at least.
Still does not explain why he got rid of the Kurt Eichenwald seizure meme video.

“Bibi - How it is ( wääb bäähb ... ) [Official Parodie / Verarsche]”  is a deleted video by the German channel Bossianus, a video parody channel, somewhat of a FlyingKitty equivalent in German.

It was a very funny parody video of the heavily disliked song Wap Bap (How it is), the most disliked video on any German channel. The parody was published on 2017-05-07, two days after the original Wap Bap music video was released.

I see no reason why Bossianus took the parody video down. A comment archive from 2017.09.02-224042 shows positive reception of that video.

Who knows how many funny videos that could have entertained future generations are now in the vault of private/deleted videos on YouTube's data centers?

At this point, there should be an anti-deletion botnet to prevent the temporary emotions or unreasonable decisions of the original uploaders (usually a single person) from erasing funny content from Internet history forever.

In ~2011, there was an advertisement for an Android 2.3 mobile phone with 1080p video recording.

There was a scene where the phone filmed an explosion of many ginger breads when the 1080p video recording feature was advertised. The phone flew above it.

Probably a HTC or Sony (Ericsson).

I liked those creative commercials back then.

There was a Beat flappy bird rage video in 2014 by a channel called Alex the King or similar, where he rage quit and threw an LG phone (possibly L70) to the ground.

Not that I think it is a good thing to do, however, the reaction was funny.

The German YouTuber Tanzverbot (Kilian Heinrich), gained significant attention in 2016 and 2017. He created a lot of announcement videos against seemingly wildly random other YouTubers.

He also shared his grievances of becoming too little attention from females. Note: He is not involved with the involuntary celibacy (incel) community, as far as I know. I barely watched him since 2018.

In ~2017 however, there was a funny joke video about him (around 11000 views prior to deletion, as far as I remember) by a young woman (probably with under 100 subscribers), with the title (in uppercase, quotation marks included) "Ansage" an Tanzverbot, which approximately translates into which could have been a click bait title, because she (presumably jokingly) proclaimed to find him "hot" and offered to date him.

I am certain I saved its funny comments into Archive.Today, but its search can no longer find it. Not Google custom search, not Yandex.

If only Archive.Today had an internal title search engine. Until then, these funny comments are buried in the deep web.

There was a German video (possibly a TV recording) more than 10 years ago where there was a joke about ice (cream).

It was similar like this:

- 1: Do you want ice?

- 2: Yes!

- 1: Here is the ice from the fridge [frozen water remains, not actual ice cream]

- 2: This is U.G.B., Ungenießbar! (in English: unenjoyable. The abbreviation was invented on the spot.)

A funny scene from some cartoon video was someone enumerating 761 rules of behaviour during a school events to (as far as I can recall) his pet, of which the last 757 (or a few more or fewer) are the same. I can't remember what exactly.

I once saw a replica video of this funny video (note: I am a non-smoker) where some guy with possibly below 200 subscribers reenacted it.

It had far more downvotes than upvotes.

I also archived its funny comments (linking to original too) into Archive.Today, but also its URL are lost.

More lost videos I remember having watched in 2009 and 2010:

- Some stop motion animation with a blue dinosaur (with teen male voice) fighting with a red dinosaur (enacted by female voice). Probably made by school kids.
- Lego stop motion channel with a name similar to XxHeroesOfLegoxX. One of their video descriptions mentioned Uploaded from Android phone

In 2011, there were two videos of a young woman hilariously dancing to Mr. Saxbeat, of which the titles jokingly were, as far as I can remember, Das dümmste Mädchen der Welt (Most stupid girl on earth) and sung to it at the same time

What I remember: She had dark hair, white in-ear earphones, glasses and a red sweater.

Those two videos were deleted in ~2012.

In 2016, the YouTube channel Bludix (~50K subscribers) had various good-looking 3D intros.

Sadly, the channel was deleted in early 2017 due to (possible) copyright abuse by larger YouTuber
ApoRed.

Most videos have been lost.

Various Instagram compilation accounts in 2016 had some advertisement videos.

Those included (a fraction of them): HeldenDieserWelt, sei.wie.bob, billistschlau, konterbilder, immer.wenn. And many more.

I have found the first one's advertisement here. The others are sadly lost, as they were routinely deleted at most days after psoting.

Lonelygirl13? I remember when that happened, by the way.

As far as I can remember, that video (or a similar one) released about that topic around the same time was a male YouTuber, and there was an un-keyed green screen background.

Gained at least 10 million views and was trending.

---

There was another video with at least 14 million views (around a week ago) by a music artist with underscore in name. But I can not remember the full artist's name or song name. I tried consulting WikiData to find the name, but I could not find it.

Addition to last post:

Here is an Archive-Today capture from said video on 2018-05-08. That channel had only two subscribers, and now these forum posts are the only hint of that funny parody's existence.

Backup of video description from last post (because Archive.Today captures of deleted videos are non-searchable, i.e. deep web):
Well, it still exists. In the lost media vault of YouTube's data centers, where it rests next to uncountable lost videos.

Update about the last video:

I have found the storyboard thumbnails in my browser cache!

Imgur URLs: imgur.com/a/Ua0cKHk / imgur.com/R0OcvXQ

Also worth noting: The uploader's channel (ID URL), created  2007-12-16, had 4 subscribers in January 2020 and now 10 subscribers in November 2020. Strange.

I wonder whether they ever had other uploads. If YouTube had not removed the video counter on the watch page (see this section in "List of features removed from YouTube"), it would have been known.
