'''New Years Ball Drop 2008''' is a [[screamer]] video uploaded to YouTube by tnol on January 1, 2008 | '''New Years Ball Drop 2008''' is a [[screamer]] video uploaded to [[YouTube]] by The Nights of Leewac, or also known as tnol, on January 1, 2008. As of 2023, the video has gained over 74K views. | ||
The video starts with the [[wikipedia:Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] broadcast of the 2008 New Year celebration in [[wikipedia:Times Square|Times Square]], with 1 minute and 7 seconds left of 2007. It then shows a wishing wall, where people around the world write down wishes on pieces of confetti. And then the drop begins. A 6-foot time ball weighing 1,070 pounds (490 kg), incorporated a total of over 600 halogen bulbs, 504 triangle-shaped crystal panels provided by Waterford, 96 strobe lights, and spinning, pyramid-shaped mirrors, is quickly decending down a 77-foot flagpole in 60 seconds. The ball then starts flashing ten times, and then a 7-foot lighted sign reading "2008", abruptly turns on, while multiple fireworks launch after in the background. | |||
When 2008 arrives, a flashing yellow text reading "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" appears in the foreground. Things seem innocent enough, but at the 1:24 point, a loud, distorted clip of a man wearing a black shirt with a skull and a black jacket, in a forest, jumps up, and screams at the camera. Afterwards, the video ends with fast rolling credits, all in red text. The credits read: ''Happy New Year from TNOL - Mike Odel - Zac Hefner - Mike brazack - Brennen - MaTT Guiesepetii - Ryan Jessen'' | |||
This video has received a lot of criticism, but unlike most early YouTube screamers that received criticism, this video has unsurprisingly never been deleted considering that the video was made in 2008. | |||
