First off, this makes me feel a little older again. But second, I noticed an increase in Millennium nostalgia too. Just little bits here and there. I'm still getting used to 1990s nostalgia really--people reminiscing about Nirvana and Space Jam and Jurassic Park. The first time I started to...

I know, that's the story as I understand it too. And yet some videos have "Monetized by copyright owner" next to them, which--it says--is Paramount Pictures. "Copyrighted content was found in your video. The claimant is allowing their content to be used in your YouTube video. However, ads might...

The copyrights are a mystery. I have a side channel where I upload classic cartoons, among them Popeye and Betty Boop, and some are tagged as copyrighted and some aren't. Yet Paramount (the claimant) doesn't file any claims, they just seem OK with it all.

I'm always a fan of those colorized Fleischer cartoons, for some reason. Maybe because it's a style of animation you simply never see anymore.

Heh, there's tumbleweed in one of my own videos actually: .

"Boop-Oop-a-Doop" (1932) is pretty creepy, with its obvious sexual harassment. I've also always found that song-and-dance ghost in "Snow White" (1932) nightmarish.

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd let you know about my YouTube channel, Tales from Weirdland. The channel contains absurdist stuff ("Lonely Zernak", "Plonka"), and more ambitious videos ("Captain Eagle Man", "Escape from the Planet of the Robot Zombies”). Though I've always liked to draw, I've...

I was at a party where all the members of ABBA were present, sitting behind a desk. When someone jokingly played the intro to one of their songs on a keyboard, they all cringed and started protesting, and threw their old CDs across the room.

After seeing Road Runner I ordered rocket-driven skates and tried them out. Crashed into a tunnel that had been painted on a wall. Seriously though, those cartoons, Sesame Street/The Muppet Show, and Popeye were big influences on me as a kid and they helped to ignite my creative tendencies.

Yeah. I'm from Holland, and Sky and BBC were just part of our standard cable package, so I mostly watched that instead of Dutch children's TV. Live and Kicking was a little after my time, I was already a teenager then, but I caught glimpses of it. I can definitely see why Zoe Ball scared you...

The Internet, I think, broke Saturday morning children's TV. When every kid can decide what they see and when they see it, they're not going to tune in at regular times to watch a block of cartoons and commercials. Litefoot, do you remember Fun Factory? DJ Kat? I used to watch those.

Agree with Dr. Pepper. Buy a pair of socks instead.

Ah, thanks. I had no idea most of these even existed!

I occasionally see that kind of thing at Quora or Yahoo! Answers: "HOW DO I TURN OFF CAPS LOCK?"

If Mussolini hadn't invaded Greece, we'd all be living in the Third Reich now.
