YouTube is 10 years old today so here’s the first ever video uploaded to the site

Needs more LOLcats...

Eoghan Doherty

It really is hard to believe, but YouTube is 10 years old today.

We know what you’re thinking, should I have salad for lunch today or a bowl of melted cheese it was set up only 10 years ago?

There are approximately gajillions and bazillions of videos on YouTube, but here’s the first ever video uploaded to the site way back on April 23, 2005.

And no, it’s not a clip of someone getting hit in the face with a ball, a cat playing a keyboard, or cat playing a keyboard and then getting hit in the face with a ball.

The video in question was posted by YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo.

Check it out.

Riveting. Bring on the LOLcats.
