What Was It?
"Charlie bit my finger – again!" is 56 seconds of two English brothers on a chair: three-year-old Harry offers his finger to baby Charlie, Charlie bites it, Harry protests in a perfect English accent, and both end up giggling.
Their father uploaded it in May 2007 so the boys' godfather in the United States could see it, because the file was too large to email. It became the most-viewed video on YouTube from 2009 to 2012 and one of the best-known home videos ever made.
In May 2021 the family sold the video as an NFT for over $700,000, but it remains on YouTube, where it has been watched hundreds of millions of times.
