Charlie Bit My Finger: Classic YouTube Video Bought For £535,000
"Chawley! That weally hurt!"
The hilarious Charlie Bit My Finger home video featuring a toothy baby and his startled big brother is getting yanked from YouTube after the boys’ parents auctioned it off for a hefty £535,000.
The clip, posted so the boys’ godparents could see it in America, is a moment of internet history. It’s one of the most popular videos ever and has been watched 883 million times on YouTube. (It was still posted on Monday night.)
In it, big brother Harry Davies-Carr, 3, sticks his finger into year-old Charlie’s mouth as the two smile. When Charlie chomps down, Harry begs him to stop. “Chawley! That weally hurt!” he cries. Charlie giggles.
