It's 18 years to the day since Robbie Keane scored that goal against Germany in the World Cup. It was since uploaded to YouTube and it was then, that the site reached a very definite peak with this one comment:
I noticed this incredible comment on the Youtube page, arguably the greatest Youtube comment ever left from user alan27100: 'bail that out u fuckers'. Watch the goal for yourself again and be proud.
2015 Update:
The comment continued to resonate in the hours after Ireland beat Germany in October 2015.

2017 Update:
The video is gone and so Alan27100's wisdom lives on in this post.
