New Years Ball Drops (1976-2011)

[@stargazer-ik6iv]

2000 was the biggest year among these. The end of The 20th Century and the beginning of the 21st century.

[@discomillennium]

and a new millennium

[@unown_]

It started in 2001 not 2000

[@discomillennium]

Ik but people celebrated in 2000 not 2001

[@hudsonpowersports]

+Saira Allen It was and I was 9 and afraid to death that the world would end that night with that Y2K stuff.

[@electrogeek77]

+Ted Easy to say when you weren't around for the cold war, Reaganomics, and the beginnings of the AIDS crisis.

[@sophiebophiex]

2008 was a big year for me, It was the first Balldrop I ever watched!

[@ErickGainesSanders]

You could definitely tell when Dick Clark's health was failing after he returned from that one-year sabbatical following his stroke. It was heartbreaking. But it also prompted me to watch my health closely, as diabetes and cancer both run in my family.

[@ErickGainesSanders]

***** He suffered a stroke in late 2004.

[@Troubleboy1959]

THANK YOU....That was mega -cool.....i hope the world has many, many , many more new years to come....it was fun looking back...im 53 i remember almost all of those....very nice

[@RobloxMaster642]

Happy New Year,everybody! Its the last day of 2012! When,you're watching NYE w/ Ryan Seacrest tonight,if you all were alive in DC's life,remember it all. RIP DC 11/30/1929 to 4/18/2012. Also,if your not watching NYRE,reflect on this year,including Superstorm Sandy (i was in it!) I lost power from late Monday afternoon,then got it back late Friday night. One of my uncles got power the day right after the hurricane. After Sandy,i got a BIG blizzard,which was Athena. Anyway,Happy New Year 2013!

[@bubblegum_jumbo7125]

When you said it was 2012 I cried, I hope you had an amazing new year :)

[@pinkaroo4]

watching the ball drop for each year in this video just brings happiness to me. everyone's happy to have a new start in their lives, and the love they spread to each other is very touching and let's you feel joy (: Happy New Year everyone! :D

[@stevenvasquez3462]

Why am I'm crying so much the years have literally flew by

[@pr0d16y9]

I was born 1/1/82, two hours later when the party was still rockin' ;)

[@c033954]

You have a birthday on New Year's Day ?!?!?!?!?! Wow!

[@curtisallisonthepro4488]

my uncle was born on new years day

[@c033954]

wow!

[@brfan2ndaccount593]

+CurtisAllisonThePro mine too!

[@padrao4099]

Happy birthday

[@amberbutterfield8099]

My daughter accidentally answered this on my google account. So let me answer... I was born in 69. I watched the ball drop every year. She was born in 02. She's young. Lol. Dick Clark WAS New Year to us in the 70's. :D

[@jameswilliams-of3mv]

..1984..great year.. the karate kid,, gremlins, footlose,, the terminator, beverly hills cop, ghost busters,

[@MetalAnimeSword]

RIP Dick Clark, Thank you for bringing my New Years with you!!!

[@AlmostaFlipinSkater]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm here to watch the progression of camera quality for each year.

[@angelprokill]

Without Dick Clark its not the same...

[@crystalgrose]

Exactly! I stopped watching after he passed away.

[@ScrappleCheesesteaks]

Not even close, I TRIED watching it a few times and I change the channel after 2-3 min. Ryan and that annoying loudmouth Jenny McCarthy is full of cringe! Heck, I'll just tune into earthcam .com, watch the live online stream from there - with the TV on another channel in the background....if it comes to that.

[@IofielNinaMarieFaller]

2013 the year I was born, Ball Drop is the year!

[@tashacapgoddessmelanin9760]

Happy birthday December Capricorns, my 12/31/1980🥰🥰🥰

[@RobloxMaster642]

I was born in 2000 too, but im still 12 until October 20th.

[@titantony7447]

Thank You For Making This

[@JordanBahrPian-UkePlayer]

It really sounds like every year, Dick is finding ways to beat his post-stroke voice, because he always sounds better every year.

[@A-halover2000]

It's crazy how the years went by, and 2022 is almost here, I remember watching these on TV.

[@tubo222555]

14:54 just looks so amazing. Compare that to the darkness of the earlier new years. We have come so far.

[@briesummers2156]

OMG this is so great!!!!!!!!! I love love LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! I just love watching all the great and happy times of the past!!!! Please don't get rid of this video ever!!!!!!!!

[@LucasVanLindt]

2000 was the most important because it was the start of the new millennium and the end to the most historic millennium in history

[@Zj2030]

I was born that year as well

[@SiMgUrL1721]

On December 31, 2003, my best friends Kien and Jaavon spend the night at my apartment. We also watched the ball drop on television in the living room.

[@gab194bbece7]

1980s technology was getting better

[@itwontcomeout5678]

I was born in 1995. my first clear memory is seeing Princess Diana's crashed mercedes benz on tv in 1997

[@jason66801]

1983 was the first year i was able to stay up and watch it

[@christiano9597]

I think I’m the newest comment. Today is November 23, 2020. Happy thanksgiving all! Can’t wait for 2021! Also, Hello people from the future.

[@A-halover2000]

It's almost 2022 already, this whole year went by.

[@jay0787]

@@A-halover2000 It's a few hours till 2022.

[@MegaI1995]

October 1995 baby ;)

[@mysocaman]

wow, my favorite memories are with Dick Clark!! So amazing how much he was part of our family!! year after year!! RIP

[@musclemusicbox]

Simply .....Awesome!

[@sawyersmith96]

Oh wow i thought it would go up to 2021 but i remembered this video is from 10 years ago

[@tnbtnb3369]

Born in October 7 1989

[@r5t6y7u8]

I was born in 1967 and remember watching almost all of these. Some years they actually did "instant replays" one minute later. RIP Guy Lombardo and Dick Clark.

[@iamarizonaball2642]

And you

[@iamarizonaball2642]

Alan DeMoss

[@codecracker33]

2012!!!! And were alive !

[@Scambush]

Believe it or not the first time I ever heard Auld Lang Syne was after reaching Chimney Rock on the Oregon Trail game.

[@IMDEBESable]

I remember the ball went dark for a minute before either 1980 or 1981, it was for the American hostages in Iran. They were released a few weeks later after Reagan took office, 444 days in captivity. I can't believe that "Big Apple" ball was little over 30 years ago, I remember that also.

[@electrogeek77]

+IMDEBESable I didn't know that (then again, I was born in 85).

[@TiffanyGopal45]

I wasn't born at the time when they did the 19's

[@impemt]

1992 is here i watched it today.

[@2061526]

yes they are coz this video was uploaded 2011 and its yet to be updated.

[@jaredsgameshowsmore9677]

The first ball drop I've ever seen was back on New Year's Eve 1996.

[@elmsvd]

I was born in May of 1975 so I have seen all the New Years from 1976! Seeing this clip is like my whole life flashing infront of me. LOL!

[@hatchimalschannel4095]

I love that music plays like this year

[@quique07]

Less than a week until 2012!!!!!

[@massey4business]

Happy New Year's Eve from El Monte, California!!!!!

[@latinavixn]

My goodness I completely forgot that when I was a kid it was an apple that dropped some years! Some of these seem like not so long ago, time flies too fast.

[@valenfields]

13:30-13:30 I was born right before the New Year’s countdown I was born in 2008 my sister was born in 2007

[@norge696]

I feel bad for all these kids who were born in 2000. Early 90's, those were the days. By early 90's I mean 1990-93...

[@keybyss98]

I thought the 2000's were good (despite some drawbacks).

[@DVSB100]

norge696 20 years later: "I feel bad for all these kids who were born in 2010. Early 2000s, those were the days." People always get nostalgic about the past.

[@norge696]

DVSB100 Yep.

[@jaydenmclean8786]

You can't remember the year you were born in, idiot.

[@joeemanuele1385]

Dude I hate when 90s kids shit on early 00s kids just stop

[@Supermanohman]

all those years gone by... wow time flies...

[@Mikeman-kt4nr]

There needs to be a new version of this for 2020.

[@GFAprodite]

happy 1996

[@128poir]

i was born in 92' ..but it wasn't uploaded =/

[@RazorFoxDV]

I love seeing the evolution of Times Square through all this footage. Place used to be a real dump in the 70s and into the 80s.

[@ArdnthatN00b]

I'd like an updated version of this... 10/10 Epic

[@b_ramking]

10:34 They don't even know what is about to happen... so sorry New York City :(

[@VictiniMujigae]

The video came out in March 2011, two months after the 2011 Ball Drop.

[@XiiMiiWiin]

I miss 2000 to 2005

[@crystalgrose]

It's cool to see 1977 come in. That's the year I was born ♡

[@MrSnazzy01]

@RobloxMaster642 im sorry for your loss. Lost my grandma in '07

[@beezie687]

Seeing 35 years pass. I was negative 23 years old in 1976. I was 11 1/2 on 2011. Currently in 2014 I'm 14 1/2.

[@beezie687]

marioxluigi07 I'm sorry it took me a year to get to you but yes I was born May 1999.

[@hunterhellfire848]

I got my first bj in 1999.

[@phantomchatter1]

I was negative three in 76...lol! Feeling old! 😥

[@beezie687]

It's crazy to think a lot has happened since I posted this.

[@88schwyptrlcar]

Awesome job! Nice video. Happy New year everyone!

[@KML0224]

The two things which stand out in this collection: ONE - How much less the crowd was into it when comparing the changeover to 2001 and 2002, thanks to September 11th. TWO - Dick Clark being in full spirits with the changeover to 2004. Of course, he suffered his stroke that year, which was why Regis Philbin filled in for him.

[@slapshot68]

who would of thought 2001 wouldnt be a happy new year

[@sunshinedewes4277]

15 years old to 51 years

[@RodneyTheLunchbox]

Anyone else watching on a New Year's Day? (This was edited)

My dad was born in 1975 and my mom was born in 1976, and my sister was born in 2004 and I was born in 2007.

[@bluebear1985]

Looks like 1998 literally started on fire.

[@umestudante4551]

2:46 The man said: six, five, four, three, one, one. HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@therealerroredxd]

Um estudante LOL

[@DiscoverGuy]

Where did you find the 2009 one?

[@Sereniama]

2000 = BEST.

[@swami1]

With each passing year the behavior of the "adults" becomes more and more juvenile.

[@Sierrapup24]

I think it was an apple since New York City is referred to as "the big apple" :)

[@haiCnote]

one of my things to do on my wishlist when I grow up

[@willywonka9768]

I think its interesting seeing time square change over time.. :p freakin Giuliani :p

[@henrybekoe808]

I was born in May 10th 1974

This deserves a remake

[@2001JJW]

Every new year was good until 2006!

[@angeloscaturro811]

:( R.I.P. Dick Clark 1929-2012

[@Sil3entAng3l]

Dick Clark always kissed his wife.. So adorable.. RIP

[@UpAndLeave]

Wow... "Getting ready for New Years 1976' hard to believe that was new to them. But then again, soon, we'll all be saying "Remember 2012?"

[@zenithalmighty]

Remember 2012?

[@Alaprine]

Remember 2012?

[@anourtine6204]

Is it just me, or does New York 2002 New Years feel a little melancholic...

[@tinwas_taken]

At least we start a new decade now.

[@santiago3432]

unique... and amazing..

[@mishelly38]

From New Bedford,Ma Happy New Year!!!!!

[@DiscoverGuy]

I was laughing so hard at this part! 9:14 - 9:23 I realized the clock said 12:00:00 when it was still 1998!

[@kartikmadaan298]

2002,2010,and 2011 were the best

[@RobloxMaster642]

Gone by so fast!

[@jadsi]

Well done, kid!

[@firsyinactive]

10:30 its just sad that this would be the last year of 7 buildings and 2977 lives.

[@100aceswid]

They left out 12/31/91 going into '92.

[@joerified9553]

It isn’t the same without Dick Clark. He was a classic person back then hosting Dick Clark’s New Year Rockin’ Eve. The last time I watched Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve was in 2013. That year, Ryan Seacrest and the other people were so much different than Dick Clark and made me very sad. Now, I watch a different TV Channel that does coverage on the Ball Drop. But I will always remember Dick Clark doing the countdown for every Ball Drop and makes me very sad he isn’t with us anymore.

[@Valedc03ls]

The KZbin user discolarry124 uploaded the 1992 ball drop. We all miss Dick Clark and his impressive work that he has done.

[@haleyiswhite]

Wow I hope tonight is great . I'm headed to times square in a bit

14:45 is my baby brother's favorite.

[@JIMvc2]

I like the year 2000 because there was no war and the world was living at peace :) for 2012 I was -_-

[@LeGiiTWillie]

I actually slept through 2010. D: Went to bed in '09, woke up in '10.
