I'm legit sad right now for all the teens who didn't get to experience early TH-cam. It was such a better, carefree experience. You could message each other, 5 star ratings, no annoying censorship, and the best part... NO ADS. I miss this era so much!
I loved old TH-cam as anyone could upload anything and there was no demonetisation, no age restriction and no monitoring of videos so you could be free to do whatever. You could literally just find porn on TH-cam at one point.
@@techyrelic Lol yes those too! The internet as a whole was less restrictive and more expressive. Now there are just too many rules and it feels like it's become a workplace rather than fun.

When I was a kid I learned all the dances Judson performs. And later I would perform the whole sequence to my family and guests with the video playing in the background 😄 I think I would still nail it after all these years LOL! I'm 28 now.😆 Thank you for all the joyful memories ❤ Love from Poland 🙂

Even after 17yrs ago, when this was first Put on TH-cam, My Teenagers found this and showed me. Now they're very busy with their own family! This Video is a Classic! Thank you for sharing this with us! May God Bless you and keep you safe ❤️
This video is so nostalgic for me. It’s such a bittersweet feeling. I miss my childhood and this was a wholesome way to reconnect with it. Incredible, even all these years later!
The term "legend" gets throws around way too often now, but this video, this man, is a bonafide TH-cam OG/Legend. This video is the equivalent of going platinum 10 times over in terms of nostalgia..
I remember logging into TH-cam everyday from 2008-2010 and this was ALWAYS the most viewed video on the platform. I miss old TH-cam so much. More customizable channels, friends list, messages, the ability to comment on a persons channel, and the legendary 5 star ratings and the yellow subscribe button. Why did it all have to change…
It will never get old, I love watching this video! The first time I saw it, middle son found it 17 years it had just popped up on TH-cam! I didn’t know a thing about YT, but after watching this video, I learned everything I could! I watch this video at least twice a year now! That first year I watched it so much I do every dance right along with him😂😂😂😂then my son that showed me he joined in and we’d do it together!! So much fun!!
after randomly remembering this video it took me about an hour of googling ‘man dancing on stage red t shirt’ ‘dance performance early youtube’ and things like that, but I finally found this absolute gem of childhood nostalgia again and I am SO SO HAPPY I can’t wait to show this to everyone I know again
I was graduating highschool when this debuted. Razer phones and DSL high speed internet 😅. Take me back!!! Love how it left off at "Dust Off Your Shoulders". Makes me think of the dance moves that have came since. Wish this had a 20th anniversary update in 2026 🤞🤞
My dad actually showed this to me when it was new, it was one of his favorites. He passed away recently, and watching this just reminded me of that moment.. watching this guy dance and laughing with Dad. Cherish those close to you, everyone. And cherish these years if you're still a teenager. If you would have told me when i first saw this video that 14 years later i would watch this and cry afterwards. I am 32 now. Time is strange to go so slow and fast like it does.
I've seen a lot of these over the years, but this guy is the best ever! He never misses a beat and the nuances are amazing. It never gets old! I could watch him all day long.
I can't be this old! My friends and I were amazed and obsessed with this when it came out all them years ago. Shit felt good to be a kid when YT was just starting out. Sure as hell nothing like today. 10 year old me loved this.

YTP's, 4chan memes (what is love is the first thing that comes to mind), Anime Hell , English dubbed anime separated in 4 parts, and TH-cam God's like Chocolate rain, Angry German kid, Angry video game critic, OK Go, the guy that sings that flea markets are just like a mini mall, Big Bill Hell, early Shane Dawson, Fred and the Numa numa guy all mixed into one beautiful site. The quality sucked at times but when the videos were made with love and for the sakes of having fun instead of promoting a tv show, album or whatever will make the person money.
Something I’m kind of glad I got to experience tbh.. Just thinkin bout that old homepage with the yellow subscribe button brings hella memories back haha
Can we also all just take a second to appreciate how generally well all these songs are edited and how it seamlessly flows from one to the next. I mean damn, fellow artists who work with music in live performance, take note! lol

The epitome of "old TH-cam". Way before the branding, deals and corporatism; TH-cam was just made up of home videos, recorded talent shows, reuploaded/homemade low budget documentaries, and a hub of creativity/fandoms. Crazy how things change.
This right here will stand the test of time.. Watched it when it was new in my early 20's Watching it now when I'm in my early 40's Can't wait to look back on doing all these dances growing up watching it in my early 60's

I'd love to know how many times I've watched this over the years. I was 16 when this dropped and some guys at school copied it for an assembly, was awesome 😂
Bradley Williams oh, its so obviously a teenage rebellious stage its not even funny, but its just annoying that a: its happening and is famous and b: anyone actually cares
***** well to name a few,songs about ass,lots more sexual things(lyrics/video),and most of it is less catchy and pointless i remember when songs made you feel inspired or at the very least had meaning to it and did not have dumbass titles or stupid lyrics not to mention product placement sometimes.
I remember watching this in high school and was mesmerized by the talent. Being young then and not knowing much about things and getting exposed to much. And it inspired my love of music and expanded my genre of music listened to. Good times!
Someone should digitally remaster This to sharpen the image quality and add in thx audio quality. Then this masterpiece could be enjoyed for generations to come.
Judson idk if you see this but I was at your speech on April 11 2024 at Braxton County High School I just want to tell you I had a lot of fun, laughter and entertainment. Thank you you are so inspirational
This man just spoke at my school for a leadership conference-- and taught us his dance! What a life changing experience. He's very motivational, despite his silliness occassionally.
@@judsonlaipply my dude, the fact that you are still on here after 17 years inspiring people is an inspiration in itself. Right on dude. I want to learn your dance.
this is absolute genius. now in my feed? what happened? oh that's right; the world feels like it's ending and this is here to make me forget that. well done, programming. well done.
I miss old TH-cam before people took it seriously. Back in the early days of TH-cam people would just upload videos like this one. Now it’s all clickbait and people desperately trying to get views because youtube is their job...
It happens to everything that grows beyond a small handful of people. Think of our government, career politicians didn't exist two hundred years ago. The men who set it up had their own work to tend to for the rest of the year.
Every media follows the same route. TV used to be genuine, look at 80s talk shows and you'll see their more laid back and less fake. TH-cam used to be more real. Now I think the equivalent of layed back media is social media, instagram and tiktok for example are more honest mediums that havent yet been ruined by the inevitable capitalist detriment where money and popularity supercedes the genuine
No one was making any money, so it was just a bunch of random home videos. Then Justin Bieber - Baby came along, and we FREAKED OUT! Then you had Ray William Johnson and Philip DeFranco make a career out of it... It was crazy watching TH-cam evolve in real time. I do get nostalgic for those days, BUT I don't miss waiting for videos to buffer.
He said that he uploaded it to youtube in order to share it on Skype. He didn't expect anyone to see it, but it became the most viewed TH-cam video until some other video overtook it (I can't remember which exactly)

i know.
@@DirtiestSoul sit down little fellow, leave the legos alone and let me tell you a story about the beginning of youtube kid
This video is older than the entire tiktok community
This guy is speaking facts
It’s 10 days younger than me but I’m not on tik tok so it doesn’t change that fact.
this video was made the year after I was born
when you were only 2 months younger
And Thats A FACT
I've seen a lot of these over the years, but this guy is the best ever! He never misses a beat and the nuances are amazing. It never gets old! I could watch him all day long.
I can’t believe this just popped up on my recommended. I vividly remember watching this as a child of maybe 7 or 8. The nostalgia is killing me!!
Imagine Just Dance game and he’s the secret boss
No matter what you always lose
I second this XD secret dance battle against him like I’m gh3
Most hard boss and will in top 10 watchmojo
God will have to help us
A Masterpiece Never Forgotten
Let me tell you a story kids. There was a time when Despacito was not the most viewed video on TH-cam.
I think it used to be a smosh video
Wasn't it Charlie bit my finger?
@@chickennugget9254 at one point it was.
Despacito isn't even bad, it's just overplayed
Actually it was gangnam style
One of the most iconic videos the Internet has ever produced. Truly a legend.
I can't be this old! My friends and I were amazed and obsessed with this when it came out all them years ago. Shit felt good to be a kid when YT was just starting out. Sure as hell nothing like today. 10 year old me loved this.
WHEN THIS VIDEO WAS UPLOADED:
George Bush was President
There was no such thing as an iPhone
Michael Jackson and Steve Irwin were alive
There were 1 BILLION fewer people in the world
Sadam Husein was President of Iraq
A 2GB USB cost $30
How time flies
holy fuck I just started doubting my own existence for a second there
Myself far out
hella fucked up compass you got there
Tesla Death Ray I thought the same thing 😂
Your compass gives me a boner.

Thanks
And the algorithm brings me back. Good memories from this era.
I remember this was my first ever video I saw on TH-cam when TH-cam BARELY started. I would watch it non stop haha
Who else misses old TH-cam just a completely normal video site
YTP's, 4chan memes (what is love is the first thing that comes to mind), Anime Hell , English dubbed anime separated in 4 parts, and TH-cam God's like Chocolate rain, Angry German kid, Angry video game critic, OK Go, the guy that sings that flea markets are just like a mini mall, Big Bill Hell, early Shane Dawson, Fred and the Numa numa guy all mixed into one beautiful site. The quality sucked at times but when the videos were made with love and for the sakes of having fun instead of promoting a tv show, album or whatever will make the person money.
Me. I miss it. So much. Such a simple concept. So ruined
yotsubafanfan yeah and the last golden year of TH-cam was 2012
@Kayla Gibson filled with shitty people like James Charles and useless video gamefortnite bs
Something I’m kind of glad I got to experience tbh.. Just thinkin bout that old homepage with the yellow subscribe button brings hella memories back haha
Real OGs remember when this was the most viewed video on TH-cam
yes!
Yep, i remember. Back when i was in middle school, playing Halo after school. Ahhh, never thought i would miss those days.
who remembers the old school movie maker white writing on blue videos???
or videos like cliff the ultimate showdown RvB
Cam from the bity how old are you? Cause I'd love to be one, BUT IM 12
Can we also all just take a second to appreciate how generally well all these songs are edited and how it seamlessly flows from one to the next. I mean damn, fellow artists who work with music in live performance, take note! lol
One of the ancient ones. Still funny after all this years.
I’m kinda glad this was 13 years ago... otherwise we’d have Fortnite dances and the whip and nae nae and I just can’t
Yea then 13 years later we would cringe at it unlike here I have fun
Thank you
OMG !!!
Nice profile pic dude
Christian Dulay 👊
I can’t believe I’ve been on TH-cam longer than this video has.. I remember when it dropped.. I feel old but privileged

The epitome of "old TH-cam". Way before the branding, deals and corporatism; TH-cam was just made up of home videos, recorded talent shows, reuploaded/homemade low budget documentaries, and a hub of creativity/fandoms. Crazy how things change.
The good times, it's all clickbait now
true
Wizzy Ace hello from another anime
Ya .. it has become a click bait
Wizzy Ace you clearly haven't been on TH-cam since 2007
yea I agree
People throw the word iconic around so nonchalantly, but THIS is truly iconic.
This right here will stand the test of time..
Watched it when it was new in my early 20's
Watching it now when I'm in my early 40's
Can't wait to look back on doing all these dances growing up watching it in my early 60's

I'd love to know how many times I've watched this over the years. I was 16 when this dropped and some guys at school copied it for an assembly, was awesome 😂
This was from a much nicer time of the internet and TH-cam.
Watching this again over a decade later is such flashback!
let's just say dance has evolved A LOT MORE since 2006...
Some might say not for the better though, although some of it has repeated, i think we could do with more opa gangam and less twerking cyrus.
WeAreGRID Let her do what she wants its her body/life. (I don't really care but you know nudists they will get you bro)
Bradley Williams oh, its so obviously a teenage rebellious stage its not even funny, but its just annoying that a: its happening and is famous and b: anyone actually cares
fuck yeah
***** well to name a few,songs about ass,lots more sexual things(lyrics/video),and most of it is less catchy and pointless i remember when songs made you feel inspired or at the very least had meaning to it and did not have dumbass titles or stupid lyrics not to mention product placement sometimes.
Who else is on a nostalgic video hunt?😊 😊 😊
I'm here from Mojo Top Ten Viral Videos.

On to numa numa guy next😂
me haha
making a video about out channels and found this :P
Everyday at my school we do this dance in the morning and it boosts most of our moods, especially mine. Love it always!
I remember watching this in high school and was mesmerized by the talent. Being young then and not knowing much about things and getting exposed to much. And it inspired my love of music and expanded my genre of music listened to.
Good times!
To think that I actually watched this 10 years ago in April 2006.
really?
really?
+mc temple fan You don't need a channel to watch TH-cam videos?
lmao hes a millenial give mc temple a break xD
Me too. I`m so old...
Back when youtube's video quality is 240p but the quality of the video itself is great.
Now we have 1080p but crap content
Well good thing you'll never let your people see this tho 😟
Someone should digitally remaster This to sharpen the image quality and add in thx audio quality. Then this masterpiece could be enjoyed for generations to come.
The fact that I watched this video when it first came out and was going viral makes me feel old af.
Judson idk if you see this but I was at your speech on April 11 2024 at Braxton County High School I just want to tell you I had a lot of fun, laughter and entertainment. Thank you you are so inspirational

I miss old TH-cam before people took it seriously. Back in the early days of TH-cam people would just upload videos like this one. Now it’s all clickbait and people desperately trying to get views because youtube is their job...
People treating TH-cam as a job option instead of a video sharing website really did ruin it
It happens to everything that grows beyond a small handful of people. Think of our government, career politicians didn't exist two hundred years ago. The men who set it up had their own work to tend to for the rest of the year.
You're watching the wrong channels then.
@@FunBoysGamingIt's impossible to find a channel like that nowadays. I mean, just go on the Search bar and you'll see for yourself.
Every media follows the same route. TV used to be genuine, look at 80s talk shows and you'll see their more laid back and less fake. TH-cam used to be more real. Now I think the equivalent of layed back media is social media, instagram and tiktok for example are more honest mediums that havent yet been ruined by the inevitable capitalist detriment where money and popularity supercedes the genuine
ngl i wish i saw youtube in 2005-2006, it looked like such a fun time because people were just posting whatever they wanted
No one was making any money, so it was just a bunch of random home videos. Then Justin Bieber - Baby came along, and we FREAKED OUT! Then you had Ray William Johnson and Philip DeFranco make a career out of it...
It was crazy watching TH-cam evolve in real time. I do get nostalgic for those days, BUT I don't miss waiting for videos to buffer.
Miss the old TH-cam. No ads, no censorship
Fun fact:
*Judson Laipply originally recorded this video before even TH-cam existed and his friends recommended to upload this video in 2006*
Ist a layer
Hey Ya by OutKast was released in 2003 so must be at least then?
How? Dirt of Your Shoulders is in this song and that song didn't come out until at least 2003?
There, I edited my comment to avoid confusion, guys.
He said that he uploaded it to youtube in order to share it on Skype. He didn't expect anyone to see it, but it became the most viewed TH-cam video until some other video overtook it (I can't remember which exactly)
