For praticality's sake I am pitching this as your own three oldest favouritings, rather than the three oldest videos you have favourited.

Mine:

Endless Caruso one liners feels faintly embarassing now, the He Man video also has some millenial cringe but overall I think I still like it? Ivor Cutler unimpeachable ofc.

Boringly the other two are just music videos (The Knife's 'Like A Pen' and AnCo's 'My Girls')

Love this idea for a thread. I always used favourites fairly judiciously, so I'd say that these three are still present-day favourites of mine:

Two of mine are card tricks. The other? Welcome to Daxflame, if you're uninitiated...it beat out a lovely Arvo Part demonstration by 3 days lol

I'm really happy a Ricky Jay video is the oldest. Here he is uncharacteristically wordless for 3 minutes; the eloquence is in the hands

Oh ffs I didn't read the OP - these are the three oldest videos I've favourited! To be fair, my three oldest likes are two songs and a golf prank. I don't know why I liked the golf prank. Here is the golf prank

I don't have a youtube account that's lasted that long, but that Ivor Cutler video was defintely something I played a lot when I got my first home computer around 2006/7. Also on heavy rotation back then and still up: the music videos for RES by Cardiacs (uploaded 19 years ago) and Primitive Painters by Felt (uploaded 18 years ago)
