Oh, this year! 2010 gave us some great viral videos. Let’s have a look and several laughs, shall we?
Best Cry Ever [Intervention]
The internets: turning serious moments into hilarious moments for everyone not involved in said serious moment. Thank you to my two favorite things – The Internets and Intervention.

Auto-Tune the News: The Bed Intruder Song [News You Can Use]
Auto-tune at its finest, now helping fight crime! They gon’ find you, rapist homeboy, THEY GON’ FIND YOU!
Reader and commenter Elizabeth suggested this version, which is actually the CHRISTMAS CAROL of the Bed Intruder song. Oh, my. HILAR.

WE ARE THE TORONTO PUBLIC AND WE WANT TO SHOP!!! [Retail Rage]
Toronto man likens having balls cut off by Toronto police to a shopping center being closed. TOTALLY THE SAME THING.

OK Go, “This Too Shall Pass” [Official Rube Goldberg Machine Version]
I don’t know how they do it, but OK Go consistently make the most amazing, jaw dropping videos and they do everything in just one take. How is this possible? I love their music, I love their videos, I love them. And this video is extra awesome because it totally reminds me of the game Mouse Trap, which delighted me to no end as a child. Okay, and an adult.

Do NOT Tell Your Little Boy He Isn’t a Single Lady
This young man is forever scarred from his terrible father basically telling him no one will ever put a ring on it.

iPhone
Everyone has already seen this, but it’s a classic and I LULZd. Several hundred times. It can. I…um. It can. I don’t care. It has the geebees.

ICP “Miracles”
Michael K. sums this up far better than I can. Me, I’m just sitting here with my mind blown. Fucking magnets, how do they work?
This is the only time I’ve ever wished that I had the ability to get pregnant. Because if I could, I would play this video while I was going into labor. It’sInsane Clown Posse’s video for “Miracles.” Instead of teaching science in school, they should just show every student this video.
It’s like an orgy between every Apple screensaver, a P.M. Dawn video, Daddy Spears dressed like a clown, a Noah’s Ark Lego set, and Shifty from Crazy Town.
And THE LYRICS! If Galileo also wrote poetry…. Here’s a taste from Videogum:
Fucking rainbows after it rains
there’s enough miracles here to blow your brains
I fed a fish to a pelican at Frisco bay
It tried to eat my cell phone, he ran away
I see miracles all around me
Stop and look around, it’s all astoundingWater, fire, air and dirt
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist
Y’all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissedIt’s a fucking miracle that I didn’t melt into a puddle of Faygo after or during this video.
These are the guys whose fans get so nuts that people die wading in their own feces at the ICP concerts? This being my only experience viewing an ICP video, that’s like saying unicorns eat babies and shoot fireballs out of their asses.

Hot Man Un-Funk [Old Spice]
Don’t smell like sunsets and baby powder. Smell like jet fighters and punching.

I’d take him up on his suggestion to “Put it Down on Me” if that wouldn’t be creepy and pedo and if I actually meant it, which I don’t. [Keenan & 50 Cent]
It’s not even that this VIDEO is viral and resistant to antibiotics. This kid’s HAIR is viral. His GLASSES are viral. His SMOOV MOVES are viral. Pop some Vitamin C before watching, cuz this kid brings it.
———
Yosemite Double Complete Rainbow [Rainbowgasm]
I don’t know what else to say about this except that I’ll have some of what he just snorted, injected and or ingested. WOW. Also? Don’t watch in the presence of others who don’t know what you’re watching. You may have some explaining to do, as it sounds like Bob Ross having a very intense orgasm in the midst of some very happy trees.
———
I Just Had Sex [SNL Digital Short]
Lonely Island and Akon just had sex. Presumably not with each other, although that would be kind of awesome.
———
“Life in Quarantine” by Fully Sick Rapper
Christian Van Vuuren was diagnosed with TB and has spent the last 55 days quarantined to a single hospital room. Instead of laying around, whining and watching Maury (actually, I just described my daily routine), he makes amazing and hilarious videos. I want to have a drink with this guy and risk getting TB whilst doing so.
———
Pants on the Ground
Yes, that “Pants on the Ground,” the breakout hit from this season’s American Idol auditions, sung by General Larry Platt.
———
Reader and commenter Elizabeth suggested the Trinity, UWA Lip Dub 2010 – “Don’t Stop Me Now” video, which is super cool.
And there you have it, this, my Best Of 2010 in Viral Videos. Any favorites?
