We scoured the internets to bring you five videos that made us laugh, and cry, and… well, really just laugh, to be honest. These are not necessarily clips that were posted this week, but just five that we happened upon.

If you are wondering exactly what happened to big chunks of your life over the last 15 years, here they are. This video is a brief collection of clips from popular Internet trends over the time span. You’ve already given them hours, days, and weeks of your life, so what is 9 minutes more?
