For the best videos in the history of YouTube. All sh.itjust.works server rules apply here. This is an archival community so moderation will be strict to keep the quality of posts at a consistently high level.

Some Rules

  1. No reposts unless it's been over 12 months and the original post wasn't highly upvoted.
  2. Tag NSFW
  3. Videos must be from before 2018. If they have been deleted and reuploaded, please make a note of that.
  4. Videos need not be originally from YouTube. If they were uploaded to some other platform (atomfilms, ebaumsworld, newgrounds) but fit the definition of an internet classic, that's fine. But you must post a link to a YouTube reupload, not to another website.

The How it Should Have Ended series started off with releasing 3 videos on the 30th of June, 2005.

  • How The Matrix Revolutions Should Have Ended
  • How Saving Private Ryan Should Have Ended
  • How Star Wars Episode IV Should Have Ended

This was before YouTube was owned by Google and before users could even subscribe to channels. YouTube had only just barely started hosting videos at this time.

This episode is one of those first 3 that were published to the internet. Originally it was published to the official website: HowItShouldHaveEnded.com and it quickly went viral.

The official YouTube channel was started a little later in 2007 where additional videos have continued to be published since then.
