Type “Happy Birthday” And Your Name Into YouTube And You Might Get A Special Surprise
As recently noticed by a Redditor, when some people type “happy birthday” followed by their name into YouTube, you’re likely to get a delightfully weird birthday video involving sheep, surfing, dinosaurs and creepy babies by one user apparently devoted to making people feel special. SOME people.
For example — Kevin gets a song, Susannah has one, heck, even Xander is beloved on his birthday and celebrated in song. The channel has 606 videos, which ostensibly translates to 606 names.
As for how the Consumerist team fares, Kate, Chris and Laura are set. But Mary Beth does not get a song, Meg is bereft and Ashlee might as well just not have a birthday. Just kidding, happy birthday in advance Ashlee!
Meanwhile, there’s a Timothy, Tim and a Timmy version. An embarrassment of riches, Timothys of the world.
Whatever, I’m not bitter, Alvin. Enjoy.
