Line 93:
** On 2009, [[YouTube]] stole a page from ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' and flipped the site (and videos!) upside down. This lasted even beyond the date itself with a URL suffix. However, it didn't always work (For example, if you're using a YouTube userscript for the Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox.).
*** Some videos also weren't completely fixed afterward and will flip upside down when put into high quality.
*** For 4/1/2010,{{verify|reason=Fourth of January 2010? Or is this the format used in only one country on Earth?}} Youtube put a "text-only mode", displaying certain videos as entirely made of text in various colors—including nearly any video with resolution greater than 360p, not just videos [[YouTube]] had done manually. This effectively made [[ASCII Art|Ascii Shading Art]]. Sadly, it was [[Too Good to Last]], and it's not even available by URL anymore.
*** There also was [[Lolcat|a cat]] peeking through the video processing icon. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGF9vAEhRFI See it here.]
*** For 2011, Youtube has a "1911 mode", where the videos are in sepia while music plays over the audio.
