Why this one

The dancing banana Flash animation is older than YouTube itself — it circulated on Newgrounds and AIM in 2002, years before the platform existed. This re-upload from 2008 became the canonical ledger once the original hosting rotted away, and then YouTube became the default archive for everything that predates YouTube. carfreak0801 has 437,000 subscribers, most of whom arrived by search accident. The 259 million views are twenty-four years of compounding discovery across people who suddenly needed to prove to someone that yes, this was a real thing that existed.
