This is a recording of the Let's Jab Fable (1996) series of videos where people logged in and crapped up the screen with attempts at being funny or just straight-up tagging. It was a bitch trying to wrangle it in, but it could result in a kind of magic only the internet at large could create together. This is one of the better results of everyone's efforts, but it sure as hell took a lot of deleting on my part (over on the UnoriginalMaterial channel). I don't regret anything about it. I only wish YouTube kept up the feature or at least kept the annotations live.

These were only able to be recorded (today, in fact) due to a large amount of programming and archival effort on the part of others, making sure as much of the annotation data as possible was saved before YouTube pulled the plug, and they even managed to give us ways to still view the stuff. If you're interested in watching the videos that still remain on YouTube (creators might have deleted them since) WITH their original annotations, check out this GitHub repository for the plugin I used to view them in order to record them for posterity: github.com/isaackd/AnnotationsRestored

And if you have any videos that matter to you, please do the same while you can. Not everything on the internet lasts. It takes people who care and make the effort to save what's important to them. Sometimes, even the creators of the content stop caring. If you want something to last, make sure it does.

    Weird feeling being nostalgic for this content

    I had completely forgotten about this entire "genre" of YouTube and it's so bizarre (in a good way) to see something like it again. Thank you for this video.

    whenever i watch video essays i'll see stuff like "hey guys [x] here from the editing room with a development" or a pinned comment thats like "oh i was wrong about [y]" and i think damn we need annotations more than ever now

    It's so weird, my brain forcibly reminded me of the Two Worlds MYO series the other day and now this cursed gem, buried for over a decade, returns.

    Wow, this is a blast from the past. Thanks for posting this here. I remember laughing like mad back in 2009. Sure, the humor was mostly stupid and crass, but so was I.
  • @1.N.Decent
    Man you're a savior! I remember having fun annotating tiny few of those it was total havoc
  • @diamachi
    We're always accepting new videos, if you take my meaning.

    Good to have you back, Hope you are doing well! I'd like to thank you for reuploading this. Are you planning to do the same with your annotated Legends of Kyrandia playthrough? I hope you do! Take care!
