2000s Media Archive is a YouTuber who primarily uploads TV commercial breaks and other nostalgia-related content from the 2000s and has recently started making edits as of February 2023.

Discovering Edits
While 2000sMA has been aware of satirical videos parodying children's TV shows like SpongeBob since the early days of YouTube in 2007, he wouldn't discover edits until a year or two later.

In July 2008, at the age of 6 he stumbled upon the greenday12688 dub of Grandma's Kisses after searching for SpongeBob on YouTube and clicking on it thinking it was the original episode; after he heard the words "f***ot" and "f***in' b****", he switched the video off since he was at a friend's house (although in truth he would have watched the whole thing at home).

His first discovery of sound clip variations of edits dates to February 2009 when he searched for the Blue's Clues episode Cafe Blue on YouTube and clicked one of the results with the assumption that it was the original episode. At first he was confused why the TV-MA logo was appearing at the beginning on the upper left corner of the screen, then to realize it was a parody video when he heard the word "s*x". Despite being too young to understand a lot of the jokes let alone watch the video, he found this video hilarious and watched it on a regular basis. He then discovered a SpongeBob edit of "Wormy" among other episodes and watched a few of those as well. During this era he also sought out children's show clips with bleep sounds thrown in and fanmade music videos of them playing popular songs.

Joining YouTube
On November 1, 2009, he joined YouTube with the help of his 11-year-old sibling and uploaded a video depicting a SpongeBob vector being cut in half with an animated pair of scissors while MS Paint blood was shown. The video contained two frames of animation repeated and was unintended to be an "unfitting music" video where a sample song called "Starfire" played over it. The video was met with many dislikes and negative comments, though remained online for a few years until manually taken down.

He still watched a few edits here and there but mostly abandoned them until the summer of 2012, where one day he remembered the Cafe Blue edit and looked to see if it was still up. While the video was deleted, MasterSkodwarde had another Blue's Clues edit up of The Grow Show. He watched that one a lot of times and enjoyed it, then sought out edits of other cartoons like SpongeBob and The Fairly OddParents. He then hunted the sound sources for these edit sounds and found that many of them came from Tenacious D or Adam Sandler, along with old school YTPs. Around this time, he also discovered CavemanEngi through his Regular Show and Ed, Edd 'n Eddy edits.

Making Edits
After months of watching many experienced editors and edits of his favorite cartoons, he finally decided to make edits of his own around late 2012 at the age of 11. Due to the viral popularity of the video at the time, he made an edit of the song "Dumb Ways to Die". Due to having limited sound material ripped exclusively from soundboards of generic sources (e.g. Jack Black, greenday12688, Buffy's Swearing Keyboard, Hotel Mario/Zelda YTPs), and recording the scenes he wanted to edit using a camcorder while muting the video, not yet aware of the ability to mute the audio in Windows Movie Maker, his edit was of poor quality and did not attract much attention, and wasn't even the whole song if memory serves correctly.

He finally figured out how to mute the audio of the split clip in WMM once he started working on a Wet Painters edit around early 2013, which was in better quality and had some pretty funny moments (e.g. "Two ordinary big balls", "And that's just freaking retarded"). This was also when he downloaded DaCavemanEngi's soundpack with sources of more variety and quantity. As with the DWtD edit, this one wasn't completed and couldn't be uploaded due to Viacom, so it was ultimately scrapped.

His first uploaded edit of a full episode was around June 2013 when he edited the Fairly OddParents Oh Yeah Cartoons! pilot, which received a decent number of likes and views, with some funny moments such as Vicky saying "porno magazine" and Timmy making a wish to his "magic underpants".

He made a few more edits of forgotten source material, but stopped around late 2013 due to school.

He returned to the editing community 10 years later as 2000s Media Archive with an edit of the VeggieTales Silly Song "His Cheeseburger" by Mr. Lunt, which has received 10 likes so far and was featured on Elsagate Edited's Community Tab as a recommended edit of the week. He then made an Amphibia edit of the episode "The Sleepover to End All Sleepovers", which he could only upload the audio version of to YouTube and the physical version to Archive.org due to Disney TV Animation's copyright restrictions. He has teased two edit shorts on his channel recently, one being another Amphibia one (of the sleepover flashback in "The Beginning of the End") and the other being of the SpongeBob episode "Something Smells". He will upload the full versions to Archive.org once they have completed.

2000s Media Archive plans to make his own edits channel once his Amphibia and SpongeBob edits are complete.
