Watching Late Night TV in the 2000s

Channel surfing at 3am in the summertime in the 2000s. Kick back and relax to the wacky visuals of old TV commercials and late night infomercials as you flip between the golden age of Comedy Central, Spike TV, and Adult Swim.

This is some of that premium divorced dad core tv.

The mid 2000s had such a specific vibe that this video captures perfectly. Truly the last great decade.

[@multiplesifl]

That vibe is hot chicks. :b

[@sillygoblin0156]

I remember. The Internet was the wild West. Man what id give to have those days back. I was doing the best, I ever had.

[@joshuac.6437]

Agreed

[@microsoftsam_yt]

The 2000s was likely the last decade that had a definitive cohesive "style" and "atmosphere" to it. It had the garishness and camp like the 80s, with a little bit of the "wild west" internet culture of the 90s, with an emphasis on hedonism and excess. Looking back, the decade feels more in line with the end of the 20th Century than the 21st Century. Every decade that follows will have its own distinct atmosphere and styles, but the rise of smartphones and streaming services (both TV and music) has splintered mainstream culture into more specific niches, so there's less cohesion than the days where everyone was forced to listen to the same music, read the same magazines, and watch the same TV shows.

[@sv4996]

@@multiplesifl Yes. Unfortunately all I see these days are tattooed up tweaker heroin addict chicks or woke weirdos with rainbow hair.

[@rymacreeks2k07]

This feels like watching the television in GTA IV

[@churdle92]

Wtf the natural male enhancement guy just unlocked a massive core memory I had completely forgotten about but now I can’t get that silly song out of my head

[@magnum_0710]

that enzyte commercial about killed me 🤣 this whole thing really brought back my teenage years thanks for this

[@TimHerk]

Haha i instantly knew it was Girls Gone Wild when i saw the warning. That commercial is etched in my mind from my "formative" years.😅

[@mudsh4rk]

I havent' had cable TV since the spring of 2001. Without nostalgia, this stuff is as dystopian as it gets.

[@timothymacpherson7452]

How is it dystopian

[@Habanero_Chi]

How is it dystopian

[@Ajv516]

You can practically taste the despair.

[@xFlared]

I was young but now that I'm 30 the grim reality of corporations farming the masses through labor and consumerism while being hypnotized by media is apparent. The matrix is real and I believe to an extent everyone in the world knows it, they just don't want to admit it because it's too depressing and brutal to admit to. In a way, seeing the world humans created for what it is, is almost a form of self defeat as well as a contradiction. Because we got so used to this kakistocracy powered by corporate fascism and are so dependent on it to survive, speaking against it is taboo. I believe the first step as a civilization is to come back to the root and understand the purpose of our existence and reality. The more that we are distracted from this notion, the more we waste our lives by letting others exploit us to do things we hate, that usually hurt people we don't want to, for resources that we don't need.

[@dude9318]

Nothing depressing about the ads honestly You just want it to be depressing

[@CB-ke7eq]

This was basically my 20s. I was out of college but still delivering pizzas until midnight. I'd come home and play ps2 on one TV while watching Comedy Central or Conan on the other TV. I was a good multitasker too, so I could smoke weed as well.

[@abstract5249]

Sounds like the life.

[@yume0975]

It's giving waking up at 2am and watching TV before going to the airport vibes

[@AckzaTV]

5 gum ad made me feel sad when i realized my friends arent across the st to go play halo on xbox with

[@averagecarpentryskills7148]

I've had thoughts of showing up at my childhood friends doorstep to ask them to come out and play again like the good old days and then I realize they would call the cops and I would be put away in a mental hospital.

[@svee7597]

This is my new favorite yt channel. Thanks for uploading.

[@chocodoco4855]

Man 00s boomers were down BAD.

[@Ajv516]

True story. They were. Most middle-aged men and adolescent boys were pretty jacked up. But, you know, every generation of men have their own struggles.

[@animalhouse8849]

Eh, it's a lot worse now than it ever was. It's just all on the internet now and even easier for kids to access.

[@amarie1001]

not you putting cherokee hair tampons in here 😂😂😂

[@AntiNihilist]

As an 8 year old at the time, the memories are so good.

[@theysaykillerwhales]

I love these so much

[@AckzaTV]

imagine watching these in a fancy newyork city apt and flying on a private plane and picked up to go nap in your european apt maybe in paris or rome and how fun it used to be back then to have money and do drugs

[@mrthewubbie]

God, I'm so timesick...

[@XXPYR0XX]

vault soda was so good, who remembers dnL soda 7 up sidedown.

[@SlavkoStorm]

Is it legal to play commercials for so long

[@aim_for_the_puss]

Awwwww what a time to be alive! Man I miss that era….😔

[@valentinusaurelius2259]

Ah, relaxing at home after 2nd shift.

[@averagecarpentryskills7148]

same for me, man. sometimes I'd go out and stay out all night with friends but other times I would be there on MySpace or where ever online on my laptop or desktop and watching Comedy Central and other late night t.v. on the old CRTV

[@averagecarpentryskills7148]

People knock 2nd shift but I liked it. A lot of time late at night to think and not be bothered by the fast pace of day shift world. then sleep when everyone else is miserable waking up in the morning. wake up around noon everyday and never felt ill tempered going into work at 2:30 or 3 like everyone else does going in 6 to 9am

[@galileajimenez858]

I loved the first show 😂

[@richarddavis8863]

The real question is did you start pole dancing when you smelled Axe body wash?

The ps2 splinter cell was heat.

[@nolibtard6023]

How ain’t that girls gone wild stuff illegal?

[@AlexanderPrussak]

probably a false pretense and paid actors EDIT: my comment is probably wrong. they actually did that in real with snoop dogg and even eminem in their ads and they got sued, I read the wikipedia page. thanks commentor below

[@Ajv516]

There were lawsuits.

[@nolibtard6023]

But copies can still be purchased new. @@Ajv516

[@nycedyme4]

Oh shut up zoomer

[@animalhouse8849]

They were essentially goading women to sign documents while they were intoxicated that waived liability. Apparently they threatened a lot of them too. Pretty disgusting stuff.

[@oldradiosnphonographs]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this comp!! It was great being 10-19 years old during the 2000s staying up and watching Adult Swim, Toonami midnight run, MTV, VH1, MTV2, History Channel, and Comedy Central, and shows that aired on local channels like Letterman, Conan, Real TV, Maximum Exposure, The Red Green Show, and MAD-TV, and seeing Jack Horkheimer ending PBS broadcast day. Back when TV was worth staying up for! KZbin has overtaken that for me in the 2010s and 2020s.

[@Dafni.Cortes]

Man i miss these times

[@sillygoblin0156]

Me too

[@mohnjarx7801]

The MXC was the best show around back then

[@AckzaTV]

South park is brought to you by tom clancies splinter cell "GIRLS GONE WILD WITH SNOOP DOGG" hahahaha woahhhh maybe George W Bush was actually an amazing President and we were just too young to ever understand

[@mistapushy]

The Nostalgia I felt watching this and late night 90’s ads is unexplainable, Sadness is that someday there will be no commericals on tv as streaming platforms are taking over, Most of the time we are annoyed by commercials- but look at us looking back on them and enjoying them? Shows when we sometimes take things for granted, and are unaware of what a simple thing can do impact wise. Thank you for making this! ❤❤

[@keelhaul17]

Changed the channel real quick wen Girl Gone Wild came on

[@kentana_whey]

That crappy animated anti-pot commercial really resonated with me. I didn’t wait until tomorrow to quit. I quit that day! I wasn’t about to disappoint my dog.

[@matthewjones7935]

Nostalgia sure is a powerful feeling!

[@TwistyTrav]

The part where they tell farmers to create robot scarecrows that shoot lasers to kill hippies... that's the stuff you'll never see again on TV.

[@AckzaTV]

are these all from same year or just between 2000 and 2008 ? call it bush cheney era artwork

[@CB-ke7eq]

The Snoop Dogg GGW ads make me think this is 2002-2003ish. I remember going to one of their promo appearances at a club in Columbus Ohio in the fall of '02. Shit was lame though meeting Snoop was cool. Oh, and the GGW crew were handing out swag bags without telling people they had to pay for them, then had their security goons try to shake us down like gypsies. It was surreal.

[@Zlife-kz1go]

Remember that show blind date? Spike TV, girls gone wild classic. Miss those days. Now I'm old

[@BPEJS24-7]

the commercials in this compilation are now so old, that I bet those people in the bowflex ad are fat now.

[@zomb13_lover]

I love watching your videos so much

[@etzabo]

I can't believe people who grew up in this era of media feel the need to pass judgement on Gen Z and Alpha's media consumption.

[@pleoTCA]

2:32 Idk why but that scared the crap out of me

[@raddog1478]

GGW this content people would have to spend like $20 for raw viewing and they did all this for free crazy.

[@Blackgirlgamer1]

So that what us third world residents dreamed to see so much in childhood, imagining how TV in USA looks like when you have just 3 channels lol

[@averagecarpentryskills7148]

I remember going to more rural relatives house or my grandfather's who only had two or three channels that would sign off at midnight and be static. I would go so stir crazy at night. It's kind of like now when the internet goes out for a few minutes and everyone acts like it's the end of the world.

[@Jal_Ei]

Creepy thing at the end again...

[@DigitalSmokeStudios1]

BUZZ BALLADS 2!!!

that ipod commercial made me wanna watch family guy in time Square back then and then fo to my brooklyn batman underground apt
