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.

Classic Viral Videos (Part 2)

Follow this link to our all-time list of the best viral videos on the Interweb: Joke Grenade's All-Time Viral Video Favorites. Are you a cat fan? Pinky the Cat as well as Ninja Cat should satisfy your cute quota.  Also, Cop Accidentally Shoots Himself will make you both laugh and cringe.  Daft Hands will make your digits get down.  The Reporter With a Fly in his Mouth with have you laughing and gagging.

We've included the spoof of The Shining, which is actually my favorite romantic-comedy.  I love it.  I laughed. I cried.  I shit my pants in fear.  Quality.  And in case you were thinking that the All-Time list was too cool and didn't have any enough douche bags... well think again.  Tom Cruise on Tom Cruise Scientologist made our list.  If you haven't seen the whole thing, we've got the original version in its entirety.  And it is chock full of douche-baggery!  If you like puppets and rap, or if you just like the Bert and Ernie Rap, we've included that masterpiece as well.

For the video game nerds and the saboteurs at heart, there is Leeroy Jenkins for your viewing pleasure.  It is a very funny video about a renegade gamer who puts his entire platoon at risk due to his own impatience.  G.I. Joe Pork Sandwiches is our personal favorite.  It is an absolutely hysterical re-dub of a G.I. Joe public service announcement.

So follow the link above and enjoy our all-time list of super good viral video classics.  Peace.

For the Geeks...

E-frolics, the sex and dating page at jokegrenade.com finally has been styled.  There has been no paint on the walls or carpet on the floor for about a week now.  But now, Joke Grenade has a total of five different style sheets for two distinct looks site-wide.

As a newcomer to web design, it was a pain in the tail to get the second CSS to talk to the first one.  Eventually it came together though.  So the Joke Grenade home page as well as the gallery, video, news, pop culture and miscellaneous pages boast that deep gray camouflage look while the sex and dating page is a clean, white parody of Match or e-Harmony.

There are a million different directions to take e-frolics in terms of writing.  The possibilities seem endless.  I'm excited about it.  Hopefully something great will materialize.  Again, for all of your comedy needs: video parodies, fake news, zany pop culture commentaries and all the satirical graphic design you can handle... Joke Grenade is the place.  It is your baby.  It is your daddy.  But it's not your baby daddy.  You don't know him.

Peace,
Jeff the Web Designer

Have You Seen This Show "Matlock?"

Written by Toby the TV Critic
joke grenade reviews


This show is the coolest.  It stars the same guy who played Andy Griffith in the Andy Griffith Show, whose name is escaping me right now.  But in his role as Matlock, he defends innocent people wrongfully accused of murder and gets them acquitted.  Every single episode he defends an innocent person accused of murder!  Hold on though, it gets way better.  At the end of every episode, Matlock figures out a way to get the real killer to confess on the stand.  Pretty dang nifty!  Episode after episode, this formula never seems to tire.  In fact, I just seem to want more and more.  My favorite part of the show is when Matlock eats hotdogs.  He is always eating those hotdogs--it is just a scream.

Every time I see the show, Matlock is wearing the same light gray suit.  I don't know if it's a coincidence or what.  Maybe he wears the same suit on Mondays and Tuesdays when I watch the show.  Perhaps if I watched the show on a Friday, he'd have on a tweed coat for instance.  If you haven't caught this show yet, you're missing a 60-minute thrill ride, chock-full of laughs and exciting plot twists.  Matlock makes shows like Perry Mason and Columbo seem unoriginal and bland.  Check it out if you get the chance and spread the word.

I'm also contractually obligated to plug all the other great things at jokegrenade.com.  There is excellent fake news, hilarious videos, funny graphic art galleries, a hip pop culture section and you can even score a date in the "sex and dating" section.  Follow Joke Grenade on Facebook and Twitter too.  Cheers  (not the show... just signing off).
