I would like to dedicate this discussion to Peter Oakley aka Geriatric1927. He passed awayon the 23rd of march 2014 after his cancer to much too treat. Hos last video was on February 12 this year, about him concluding his series, which he knew would be is last.

His Impact in 2006

2006 was the year of ceativity for YouTube. Smosh became big, boh3m3 was screaming(like PewDiePie today), Judson Laipply got credited for his moves etc. But this was the year of Geriatric1927! His first video got more views than EmoKid21Ohio and MadV combined! He proved to everyone that you don't have to be young to be popular. He cemented his place in the YouTube history books.

Feel free to comment or pay your respects to Geriatric1927, the Internet Grandad.
