KZfaq Live was the most 2008 thing to ever exist, which just so happens to mean it's incredibly awkward. Here are my thoughts.

KZfaq Live was a 2008 event streamed live on the Internet from San Francisco. It was hosted by a variety of KZfaq celebrities like Fred, Smosh, Tay Zonday, and Daxflame, and featured performances from the likes of Bo Burnham and Katy Perry. Today the show would no doubt be hosted by Mr. Beast, Dream, Markiplier, and everyone else with way more subscribers than me. The Bo Burnham segment is up on his own channel and you may have seen it already, but the rest of the show is grade A cringe and is sorta lost media today. From parkour to beatboxing to speed stacking, today I took a look at KZfaq Live covering all the cringe, highlights and funny moments from this nostalgic KZfaq event.

"Good thing there's no censorship on KZfaq!😃" Oh how times have changed.

I work in the events industry and it haunts me knowing that my coworkers either did this show or are friends w the ppl who did o.O

I’m especially haunted bc the idea to have everyone film the show and then upload it really sounds like an idea my boss would have

Rest In Peace Ray Stevenson. Was not expecting to see him during the parkour introduction.

Beautifully poetic how Katy Perry introduced Bo Burnham only for him to, a few years later, tell people who took real meaning from her lyrics to KYS

I used to watch KZfaq Live when it was new at the time. I do missed those days.

Omg Will it blend? Guy! I forgot about him, he seemed nice.

I would say he's still making videos but the last upload was in 2020 which doesn't seem like long ago but actually is 2 years ago. At least, he's not dead, so don't talk about him in the past tense lol

Just seeing this video brought back the nostalgia of staying up late to watch this when it was live, I cringed then and still cringe now at some of the segments, hell I even for days after the event was active in the comments section constantly refreshing the channels page. There were accounts who had creepy to scary clown pictures who were just trolling and causing others to get upset. Made a couple of friends out of the wild interactions chatting away late into the early morning hours.

Thanks for sharing something which was, for the most part, lost to time. I didn't even know this was a thing before I saw this video

This is beautiful. Oh, this is so magical. Makes me wish they did one more of these in 2014 or 2015 as a time capsule to my own KZfaq childhood, but I guess I have YT Rewind to scratch that itch. Excellent video, thank you!

The amount of spit soaked up by that mic after 4 straight minutes of beatboxing is unfathomable 🌊

You nailed it about the beatboxing era. Forgot about that.

If you really think about it, "Welcome to KZfaq" im almost 100% certain was a precursor to "Welcome to the Internet"

How could you tease Bo Burnham's musical take/prediction about KZfaq and the internet taking over everyone's lives without including any of it?! I'm desperate to hear how appropriately cynical it apparently was, especially considering the recent increase in video essays about this very subject - including the uselessness of Google sesrch, uselessness of most social media platforms, uselessness of most products for sale on fast fashion and trash sites like Temu, the runaway train of AI, etc.
