Goodbye To My Don Goodshort Dailymotion

You know that feeling when you lose something you didn’t even realize you cherished until it vanished? Like the last slice of pizza you were saving for breakfast, or your favorite pair of socks that mysteriously becomes a single. That’s a little how I felt when I stumbled upon the news: “Goodbye To My Don Goodshort” from Dailymotion. And I know what you’re thinking—Don Goodshort? Is that a person? A brand? A very specific kind of snack?

Let me set the scene. It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon. I’m deep in the rabbit hole of forgotten internet corners, looking for a video I swear I watched back in 2009 about a guy teaching his cat to play chess. And somehow, the algorithm—bless its chaotic heart—served me a tribute video. “Goodbye To My Don Goodshort,” it read. And below it, the words: Dailymotion. I clicked. I regretted. I laughed. I almost cried. It was a 10-minute masterpiece of a man saying farewell to his pet iguana, Don Goodshort, through the medium of interpretive dance set to elevator music.

Yes, you read that right. Interpretive dance. Elevator music. Iguana. The video was grainy, the sound was tinny, and the comments section was a beautiful wasteland of inside jokes from 2011. People were saying things like, “Don Goodshort, you were the lizard we didn’t deserve,” and “Who’s watching this in 2025?!” It was the purest form of internet—absurd, heartfelt, and utterly pointless in the best way. And then I realized: it was tagged as “Unlisted.” The owner had probably uploaded it a decade ago as a private goodbye, and now it was gone—deleted, or lost to Dailymotion’s content purge.

That’s the thing about platforms like Dailymotion, isn’t it? We treat them like the messy aunt’s attic of the web—forgotten, dusty, but full of unexpected treasures. While YouTube got all the polish and ads, Dailymotion hung onto the weird stuff. Don Goodshort was the embodiment of that weirdness. He wasn’t famous. He wasn’t a meme. He was just a green reptile who inspired a man to dance his sorrows away in a beige living room. And now, he’s a ghost.

So why does this matter? Because saying goodbye to Don Goodshort is like saying goodbye to a tiny, ridiculous piece of our shared digital history. It’s a reminder that not everything needs to be viral to matter. The video only had 47 views. 47. But those 47 people—myself included, once I tracked down a reupload on another forum—experienced a genuine slice of human weirdness. It’s the pedigree of the obscure that keeps the internet alive. Without it, we’re just a bunch of slick influencers selling water bottles.

Of course, I tried to find the original Dailymotion page. Nothing. A 404 error. A blank void where a man once danced for his lizard. I even searched “Don Goodshort Dailymotion goodbye” and got a recipe for gluten-free banana bread. Close, but no cigar.

But here’s the uplifting part—and I promise it’s coming. Letting go is okay. In fact, it’s beautiful. Don Goodshort isn’t really gone. He lives on in my memory, and in the 46 other people who watched him. He lives on in the jokes we’ll tell about “that time a guy danced for an iguana.” And maybe, just maybe, he’ll inspire you to upload your own weird, heartfelt goodbye to something silly—a plant, a pet rock, a half-eaten sandwich. Because the internet is at its best when we’re a little bit embarrassing.

So here’s to you, Don Goodshort—wherever you are, probably in a lizard heaven filled with crickets and sun lamps. And here’s to the guy who danced for you. You reminded me that the most poignant goodbyes are the ones nobody else sees. And that’s exactly why they should be remembered. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to teach my cat that chess game. Wish me luck. 🦎✨
