I still remember the first time I saw this in college, the reveal at the end of the video had me and my friends literally ROFL'ing. Actually on the floor with guttural laughter.
I grew up with the Internet and I didn't know about this video until I was about 30. I regret missing out on so many years of not having this in my life.
I thought that finale kind of ruined it. What made the originals fun was the fact that they were quick and absurd. We were just as confused as Charlie about why all of these nonsensical things were occurring. But the finale establishes a bunch of lore that retroactively explains logical reasons for all the absurd events/locations/characters. Of course, that "logic" pretty much always just boils down to "magic", but it is still taking some of the fun out of the absurdity.

You were head-butting children off the ship!
That, uh... that must've been horrifying to watch!
Then you started making out with the ice sculptures!
Well thank God that the children weren't on board to see it.

This and the exploding whale are two of the 3 videos I always think of if the subject of famous Internet videos comes up.
The 3rd involves piano music, two girls, and a cup.

I irrationally dislike being told something about myself, especially if its untrue, and have the statement end with and it shows, and it shows.

I want to point out that they made a FORTY MINUTE finale somewhat recently. It is of course glorious.
