>2004unc ass showI want to say yes. I remember watching this episode when it aired; I was young but even then I knew what a viral video was, and I thought it was cool to see that referenced in a cartoon.>>150233883I like this shit better than the actual Foster's.
>>150233883Why does it have the CBBC logo?
>>150233865A lot of videos that were popular on early Youtube originally went viral on places like Ebaumsworld in the early 2000's
>>150233865Shit used to go viral because college students shared and copied vhs tapes. It's how jackass started. It was more like 2012 is the "viral" meant that it became popular enough on the internet for normies to notice. Initially it just meant that the media was seen as worth sharing between people interested in the media.
Where did videos go viral before Youtube?
>>150236540P2P servers like limewire
>>150233865Yes, you fucking newfag, this episode was based on Star Wars Kid, and the harassment he received.
You have to see the Mr. Harriman edits in the vein of things like Star Wars Kid or Numa Numa kid
>>150233865You don't understand. Nothing goes viral today like it did in those days. Now viral is only viral among a niche, not the entire human population.

>>150233865Back then, the internet was just over a decade old to the public. Videos that could be easily uploaded and distributed (and even... play in your browser? I don't have to download it?!) were pretty novel, so it was a wildcard what random shit everyone would collectively decide to send their co-workers, friends and family over E-mail, or maybe those hip new "social networking" websites, like MySpace and Facebook...
