Ever since YouTube raised the video length limit to 15 minutes in 2011, users everywhere have taken advantage of the ability to upload extremely long videos. If your account is clean and verified, you can easily upload videos up to 11 hours long.
TEN HOURS of the best clips on the internet!
The 10-hour parody video is an extension of the previous 10-minute version before the video length limit was increased. When a viral video, catchy song, or hilarious meme really takes off, YouTubers will often take it as an opportunity to amplify its influence and humor by taking the entire thing, or alternatively, choosing a short clip to play over and over in a single 10-hour video.
It’s pretty unlikely that most viewers will actually sit down and watch one of these excruciatingly long videos in its entirety, but that’s not really the point. The point is that there’s a 10-hour version of a popular video or meme, and that’s what makes it at least ten times funnier than the original.
If the song or video is fun enough, some people might leave it playing in the background while they work or do something else. Besides all the different memes and parodies that have been made in 10 hour versions, there are also tons of 10 hour videos based on relaxing music or catchy beats that people can just listen to while letting it play in the browser.
