It's very first (23.09.2013 - 01.10.2013) videos were called aqua, then it was changed to tmp (and some random characters). For unknown reasons it stopped uploading them on 4th of May, 2017. It uploaded 9 videos again between 18th of May and 22nd of May, 2018. It has uploaded 624 743 videos.

Normal videos
Videos are ten seconds, one minute and forty seconds or twenty five minutes long. One slide is one second, so, counting from zero, ten seconds videos have 9 slides, one minute and forty seconds ones have 99 slides, twenty five minutes long have 1499 slides. They're all similar. Each slide has red and blue rectangles, randomly generated sounds and, in the lower left corner, a text saying "aqua.flv - Slide + 4 digit number". When two rectangles overlap, red one is always on top and can cover piece of a blue one or whole blue.

Abnormal videos
Webdriver Torso has 3 abnormal videos. In the first one, called "tmpRkRl85", red rectangle becomes Rick Astley in the second half of the video. He is rickrolling. The second one, called "00014" shows Eiffel Towel in the night, and then someone's Facebook page. When reversed, number becomes 41000, which when being input in Google Earth goes to a place in the France near Paris. The third and last one, named "0.455442373793", shows an episode of cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It is viewable only in France, requires payment of 1,99 euro and is only payable with French credit card.

Purpose
Webdriver Torso is a channel ran by Google. It's purpose is to see how much quality in video and sound was lost, and then made it better. Many people do not believe that it belongs to Google, because what's the purpose of these abnormal videos? Google was probably just joking, cause they saw that people are thinking about aliens.
