Whenever I see a video of someone up on YouTube, I always think of Max Headroom. I don't mean that in way where I want you to bow to my awesome powers of nostalgic recall, because it doesn't much effort to point to a character with that much exposure and I was hardly a fan of the routine or ever saw the TV show past some commercial clips. It's more like the dim memories I have of the gimmick is that they were clearly YouTube videos, but in 1988 or whatever.
