Ineffably foundational to web culture and charmingly scrappy as are many of the early YouTube pioneering videos have, but be real, when’s the last time you actually went out of your way to watch The Annoying Orange (Original)?

One Emp’s finest videos to date. Great use of illustrations on this one, adds to the old-timey feel without coming off as too dusty. The narration has this gravity to it where every dumb decision told in the story is given as much weight as it can.
