How'd They Get This Online was created by the webmasters of www.ycdtotv.com which is Ric Debarros and Chris Gough, as it was influenced by them to make an animated sketch-comedy show based off of You Can't Do That On Television as it was on their website with new epsiodes and is still showing there. It featured voice work of new kids and new names of course due to copywright issues and people got green slimed. It featured six kids that were hired to star in the first, online variety show. On each show, the kids would take a specific topic (i.e. Music, Lawsuits or Voting) and present it in a series of slapstick-comedy sketches that took place on various sets and studios. Despite their strict stagehand, Mr. Buzz Hoff, and the horrible food at the studio's cafeteria, the kids still showed up to work every day to keep from going to school and to keep the show's viewers asking, "How'd this get online?"
