Yesterday I read one of my fellow photobloggers (phloggers if you will) post about rules for maintaining a photoblog. One of his first points was to stick to discussing only photography on the blog. Well, today I am going to do just the opposite. I am huge fan of the internet and it’s memes. I think it is something that defines our generation. So today, in addition to the above HDR photograph of Strangers Home MB Church in Cabrini Green, I bring you my list of the Top 11 Greatest Viral Videos of al time. Please note that these are based on MY opinion only.
11. Charlie Bit My Finger
Cute kid + british accent = 205 million views on youtube!
10. Numa Numa
I bet more people could name this kid (Gary Brolsma) than the Prime Minister of Canada (Stephen Harper – I had to look this up).
9. Star Wars Kid
I think a lot of people would put this kid in the top slot. His Wikipedia page is an interesting read too. He filed a 0K lawsuit against his classmates, and it’s estimated that the video has been viewed almost a billion times.
8. Grape Stomper
Live TV + Fat Lady + The weirdest screaming you’ve ever heard = a good laugh.
7. Chris Crocker
This one speaks for itself, I actually don’t find it funny but disturbing… and hilarious.
6. Lions Reunited on the View with Barbara Walters
The first non-comic video on my list. In my defense, I have a soft spot for felines.
5. Chocolate Rain
There is a lot that makes this movie so epic.
1)The lighting, what is up with the lighting that makes it look like it was shot in the 70s?
2)The whole I move away from the mic to breathe thing.
3)The awesomeness of the song.
4)Tay Zonday’s glasses.
5)Tay Zonday’s voice.
4. David After Dentist
Is this real life?
3. Smosh – Pokemon Theme Song
For a long time this was the most viewed video on youtube. Then it was taken down due to a copyright claim.
2. Dramatic Prairie Dog
6 seconds of greatness.
1. Free Hugs
No way, they didn’t just ban those hugs! Yes, start a petition! 10,000 signatures! MORE FREE HUGS!!!
Honorable Mention (Just to prove I’ve seen them all):
Sneezing Panda
Charlie The Unicorn
JK Wedding Entrance
Susan Boyle
Miss Teen South Carolina
Dick In A Box
Daft Hands
Dancing Baby
Leeroy Jenkins
Evolution of Dance
Tunak Tunak Tun
My New Haircut
McDonald’s Rap
