Who wants to be answered? Me! (or I)?
The first video on Youtube is referred to as "Me at the zoo". The rule states: While saying about yourself, you should use "me", when you're the object of a sentence, and "I", if you are the subject of a sentence. Obviously, the uploader meant "This is me at the zoo", but was lazy to say the object of the sentence "This is..."
Please explain!
Thank you!

Answer

"This is me."

Your example is correct! The YouTube uploader does mean to say "This is me at the zoo." In English, it's not really considered lazy that the person left this out, it's how native speakers honestly do speak.

I found the examples under "The Bottom Line" on this page helpful when trying to figure out which one to use: http://www.elearnenglishlanguage.com/blog/english-mistakes/i-vs-me/

Good luck!
