I'm sure the most watched ones might be: The Duck song, Asdfmovie, and the like...

My picks:

(Stupid funny) playing Parappa the Rapper 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGlCGMm8Qag
(Informative) CGP Grey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y3jE3B8HsE
(Music) The Canadian band Barenaked Ladies recording songs in their Bathroom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebWzQ-sZZto
There was this one youtube minigame (maybe it was a google homepage game? I don't remember) commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall Anniversary, with a wall you could break by moving the timeline bar back and forth. I can't find it anymore.

A good compilation: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0F31B2079F0C884B

Nowadays it would be against copyright for half the videos.

This guy Andrew Struthers made cool stuff back in the day, too bad he became a COVID-denying anti-trans bigot. He made his mark with Spiders On Drugs and then used the money he made to make a feature film. Americanface, the resulting film, is one of my favorite films. It really sucks that he became such a dickbag.

Not sure if this counts, but like any earlier time period, I'd be too young to be on the internet so its "classic" to me, but anyways: my favorite is probably this Vsauce video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDrBIKOR01c

I'm not sure if this is like #1 favorite, but probably a Top 10. Vsauce is one of my favorite channels. Videos kinda give a mini-existential crisis but also shows how cool existence is, in a sort of nihilistic way.
