Between 1996 and 2002, VH1 had a show called Pop Up Video which paired music videos with trivia and jokes that "popped up" on screen, mostly without controversy ...

Title hat-tip to rachelfaith :D
nobody posted about IMG_0001, a time capsule cache of mostly unwatched direct-to-Youtube iPhone Photo uploads – 5 million of them, from between 2009 and 2012, ordered randomly.
