Help needed to find vids for vidshow: "No-no, there's a really great vid behind these pixels!"

[blnchflr]

I am behind on this due to vacation and CORVID-19 in general, and probably having contracted a mild version of CORVID-19, myself (am fine), but I'd still like to do this short vidshow, if I can find enough vids:

In my vid collection, I have this one vid that is AWESOME, but in such crap quality, I only show it to people I know well and who love vids a LOT:

I think it would be fun to showcase vids that can sadly only be found in low-res, but are actually really good, if you can look past the pixelation!

Surely all of you have at least one of these? Now is its time to shine :)

Thank you in advance for your help <3

This is the greatest low-res vid I know https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P5NFl4B9FQ

Oh, that's quite wonderful, *facepalm* :D

Thank you!

Are you looking for SD vids/ old vids, or for vids that are for some reason only available in extra-bad quality? I went through my vids folder and I found a couple pixelated ones, but they're mainly just old and therefore not HD.

Fwiw, these are the ones I found on YouTube:

There's a vid for C6D fandom that's called "Oh Canada" which I have, but haven't found anywhere to watch online, and an old SGA McShep vid called "Jolene", which I also couldn't find.

And then there's this, which never fails to make me laugh:

They Want More (Jurassic Park) by Bironic - source isn't HD, but it still makes me smile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf3npbZzf4Y

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, as it's made using the film-style cutscenes from a video game series, but I've always been stupidly fond of this BattleTech vid made using the MechWarrior series cutscenes:

I don't think that version on Youtube is uploaded by the original author though - I have a better quality copy (by which I mean 320x240) which is from a wargames convention I went to in... 2003? 2004? It was on a CD of scanned books that a friend gave me. I think one of the reasons I like it so much is that it's using Linkin Park's "In The End", which everyone seemed to be vidding at some point between 2004 and 2006 ;)

I would expect there to be a lot of old vids in this category, yes, simply because that's the quality they were shared in back then.

But it's proven a lot harder to find awesome/crappy quality vids than I expected - "Detachable Penis", for example, is awesome, but really doesn't look that pixelated on my screen.

I was thinking of a LOT more pixelated vids - again, the kind of vid you might save and watch, yourself, but it's not the first or 20th you show other people, because the pixels are too much/big :)

Thank you so much for trying to help, but I'm afraid my vid show idea wasn't as feasible as I thought.

[blnchflr]

Thank you - it is definitely awesome, but much too good quality for my idea.

(Which sadly looks like it's not feasible - if people have awesome, crap quality vids, they're not sharing them, and that's of course perfectly ok).

[blnchflr]

Thank you - that's the kind of pixelation I was talking about! Sadly it's proving so much more difficult to crowdsource this than I imagined, so I'm going to have to let the vid show go, boo.

Sow :( How many vids are you short?

Aw, I'm sorry it's not working out the way you had hoped for. Maybe it's something to keep in mind for next year? That would give you more time to collect vids.
