On This Day In LG15 History: Dec 18, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008

On Dec. 18, 2005, three years ago today, the first copies of "Lazy Sunday"most likely appeared on YouTube. The prior evening, in this Saturday Night Live skit, comedians Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg rapped about their plans to go see the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia." After getting millions of view on youtube and elsewhere, NBC (the network that airs SNL) demanded that the clips be taken down due to copyright infringement, which generated a lot of press. That press caused people like Creator Miles Beckett to take notice of the potential of YouTube, and is later cited by the Creators as one of the events that led to the creation of Lonelygirl15. Its hard to keep track, but Lazy Sunday is reported to have received untold millions of views online.

On Dec. 18, 2006, two years ago today, Bree posted the video "Bree Phone Home."



This was the first official lonelygirl15 video that Glenn Rubenstein wrote the script for (though Glenn's identity was not known until February 2007). The references to Cassie were a nod to Cassieiswatching and an attempt to calm the furor over "whatever happened to that girl Cassie." The video currently has 269,890 views on youtube.

On Dec. 18, 2007, one year ago today, Daniel posted the video "Tired of B*tches."



In this vid, Daniel discusses his confusion over Sarah getting really into the hymn of one in the desert, and plays a snippet of a video from Mallory desparately trying to get Daniel back after cheating on him with Professor Del Mundo. It currently has 65,207 views on youtube. It was also the inspiration for my spoof performed by Betz28, Tired of Pl*tholes.
