THE 20 VERY BEST VIRAL VIDEOS IN THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNET

There are a trillion billion zillion videos on the Internet today, according to the six-year-old statistician we have on staff.  That's just eleventy less than totes infinity.  The point being, there is a tremendous amount of competition out there.  So making Joke Grenade's TWENTY BEST VIRAL VIDEOS OF ALL TIME is truly a remarkable feat.  Without further ado, the winners:

20. AFRO NINJA

Nunchucks toting Hollywood stuntman Mark Hicks can't stick the landing... and it makes him famous.  An impressive backflip and skilled nunchucks display was the goal for this audition.  Instead, he knocks himself silly. But he still gets the part!



19. CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER

This is YouTube's most-viewed video of all time. This British baby chewing and gnawing on the finger of his brother made the entire Internet fall in love.  "You bit me, Charlie."  In show business, you never work with animals or children.  Just upload them to the web and cash-in instead.  How many times did you watch it?

18. SNEEZING BABY PANDA

Cute, Chinese-owned momma and baby pandas at the zoo.  It's so American!  Baby panda sneezes and scares the daylights out of Momma panda.  It's so adorable it became a YouTube sensation! God Bless America!  


17. DRAMATIC CHIPMUNK

You've seen him waterskiing in Anchorman.  And now you've seen his dramatic acting range.  The Dramatic Chipmunk is actually a prairie dog, believe it or not.  And my, how the people love him.


16. OTTERS HOLDING HANDS

More Animals! It's unbelievable how much you people love this crap.  This time, it's a video that went viral about sea otters.  They hold hands, float around, take naps together and do disgustingly cute things the whole time.  How disgustingly cute is it, you may wonder?  Over 20,000,000 hits worth of disgustingly cute.

15. CHARLIE THE UNICORN

Animator Jason Steele created this classic that earned an instant cult following.  It is a wonderful story about "trusting" your friends.  To better relate to this video, it is especially helpful if you believe in Candy Mountain, mythical creatures and kidney theft. 

14. EXPLODING WHALE

It's 1970.  You're a member of the Oregon Highway Patrol.  You decide to blow up a dead whale on the beach.  It's going to be captured on film.  Whale guts explode all over the place and make a giant, sickening mess on the sand.  The Internet falls in love the disaster.  It is a match made in heaven.  Everyone lives happily ever-after.  The End.

13. SHINING

The real movie The Shining scared the piss out of all of us.  But Shining repositions the horror classic into a romantic-comedy complete with a Peter Gabriel musical accompaniment.  In this comedic gem, the best parts are all in the previews.

12. DAFT HANDS

It's double-fisted, finger-flicking fun! Daft Punks' "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" song and a black Sharpie are all you need to make a wildly popular YouTube video.  So get to work.  

11. WHERE THE HELL IS MATT?

Matt Harding did the "silly boogie" in travel spots all over the world.  And it landed him sponsorships with Stride and Visa.  That boy has got the jimmy legs.

10. ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US

The atrocious Japanese-to-English translation of the video game Zero Wing gave the world wide web the techno-remixed "All Your Base Are Belong to Us."  And it was good!

9. DAVID AFTER DENTIST

Young David Devore got a tooth removed at the dentist.  His "doped up" ride home is documented by his father.  And the online community found little David's intoxicated quotes, well... intoxicating.  Result: instant classic.

8. GRAPE LADY FALLS

We're sick bastards.  We love to watch people fall down and get hurt.  In this video classic, a local news reporter falls on her face while stomping grapes during a live newscast.  She moans and groans in pain while the anchors back in the studio never seem to be too concerned for her welfare.  It's one part slip-n-fall / one part social commentary on local news.  And this makes "Grape Girl" truly timeless.

THE LIST CONTINUES HERE.

We've Added a Classic Viral Video Section (Part 1)

Joke Grenade has added a classic viral video section for all of your favorite viral videos over the last decade.  David After Dentist, an all-time fave, kicks it off.  If you've been living under a rock, this is the video of the seven-year old boy who is freaked out about being doped up after a visit to the dentist.  As he is being driven home by his father, he asks, "Is this real life?"  All Your Base Now Belong to Us is the photoshop-friendly joke on the poorly-translated Japanese video game "Zero Wing" by Sega.  It is very cleverly done.  The Exploding Whale, which is both funny and disgusting, made the cut on Joke Grenade's Top 20.  It has it all: in-depth reporting, the beach, explosives and tons and tons of whale guts.  Battle at Kruger is the eight-minute nature video of the epic battle between a herd of buffalo, a pride of lions and 2 or 3 crocodiles.  This is pretty crazy stuff.  Stick around for the whole thing if you've never seen it all.  The payoff is worth it.

Charlie the Unicorn cracks me up because it combines a mythical creature with the urban legend of (SPOILER ALERT) having your kidneys taken out for sale on the black market.  Poor Charlie gets duped by a couple of other unicorns.  There's no such thing as Candy Land.  The video producer also felt the need to add Double Rainbow even though that got played waaaay out!  But it's still a classic nonetheless.  What does it all mean, you wonder?  Check out the video: www.jokegrenade.com/web_classics.html.  Matrix Ping Pong made the Joke Grenade All-Time list as well.  That is so well done.  And remember, if your body dies in the Ping Pong Matrix... you die here.  The body cannot volley for serve without the mind.  Also, remember Where the Hell is Matt? Rocking his signature dance, Matt travels the world with a "Stride" sponsorship.  Not too shabby!

Plus, Winnebago Man wants to sell you a fucking RV!  This potty mouth made our list for sure.  Absolutely hysterical!  Grape Girl Falls, in case you missed it, is the video of the woman giving wine-making/grape-stomping tips on live television and then bites it and falls on her face.  Funny stuff.  Check out the rest in the web classic gallery: www.jokegrenade.com/web_classics.html
