"Me at the zoo" is the first-ever video that was uploaded to YouTube. It was uploaded on April 23, 2005 at 20:27:12 by the site's cofounder Jawed Karim, with the username "jawed" and recorded by his high school friend Yakov Lapitsky.

The nineteen-second video was shot by Yakov Lapitsky at the San Diego Zoo, featuring Karim in front of the elephants in their old exhibit in Elephant Mesa, professing his interest in their "really, really, really long trunks.

He created an account on YouTube the same day.
