Obviously there's the most viewed of all time, which would count, but there's also thousands of absolute classics that are lesser known. I can only recall some because they made a specific impression on me. There should be a community to archive those and pseudo-rank them through upvotes.
If there isn't one, nobody steal my idea, I'll make one on sh.itjust.works.
Sneak peek
Also I would be remiss if I didn't mention lemmy.myserv.one here. I had never seen Streets 1:12 until I saw it referenced in one of the many entertaining taglines that u/Thief added to the server and I decided to check it out. What a rush!
Edit:
Ok I've finally been able to create the community. FYI if you're making a community, don't use capital letters in the URL name. You can use it in the display name though. I'll give some time for people to post their stuff.

Is it a friendly bear or should we be worried for you?
imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y
Let's just say I'd rather be with a man than this bear. But the bear is gone.
SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Did the bear do what was intended/requested of it, or was it a naughty bear?
imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y
I'm just tripping balls from your username formatting, perhaps you should talk to @muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee
SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Woah they have an Aussie flag in their username, that's cool! (they missed a character in their username though lol)
Also if you'd like your username in a cool font here you go:

And the end of the world was originally on albino black sheep - there are versions of both up on YouTube now though.

It's not working right now. Surely you can at least wait until tomorrow. If I can't make it by then, then it's my bad

I guess sometimes sh.itdoesnt.work
imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y
For the curious, it was because I tried to put capital letters in the community name. Don't blame sh.itjust.works, blame Lemmy.
But also blame yourselves for not donating enough, coding isn't easy or free.
illi@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 1y
Obviously take your time. Sorry if the comment came of wrong.

Not specifically for youtube videos, but half the examples people are posting here aren't originally from youtube anyway.

NB: remove the ?si= part of a YouTube link and everything following it.
This is the share ID, and creates a link between your account and any account that watches it, indicating that you have shared a link with them. They track this to try to figure out what videos you, and the person you shared it with, might like in common.
Some of the easiest tracking to avoid just by removing a string from a URL.

11 years is not classic YouTube. My kid is older than that video. Classic YouTube is from the early days before the algorithms ruined everything.
