Top Ten Viral Videos – A MUST Watch

This post is an uncommon one, but something caught my eye on TheLondonPaper just yesterday. One of the section talks about the top ten videos that are most watched for its bizarreness, or more adequately put, their awesome hillarious ratings. Here I will go through them one by one, giving them a personal verdict. I hope you’ll enjoy the videos as much as I did reviewing it! And now, the videos, from the last place is…

10. Lolcats the phenomenon


Take a picture of a cat doing something cute. Then make up a witty caption for the cats, as if they could talk. Compile it up and you have a freaking hilarious video. My verdict: Absolutely oozing with pure kitty cuteness! A MUST watch! - 4/5 [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/hMnk7lh9M3o" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

9. Detention Centre rehearses Thriller

What do you get when you have 1500 inmates from a detention centre at Philippines rehearsing for a Micheal Jackson MTV? One super amazing play, that’s what! It’s definitely not some kind of punishment, rather more of a performance meant for some kind of event, but must have taken a lot of discipline to pull it off. Like, A LOT of it, no kidding. My verdict: You’ll find yourself so absorbed with the performance that you can never believe these guys are actually prisoners within an actual detention centre. Kudos to the amazing star “couple” and all their colleagues for this amazing performance, I’d so love to be there to watch it. – 5/5 [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/LU8DDYz68kM" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

8. Battle at Kruger

A pride of lions, a herd of buffalo and 2 crocodiles. A story of family love, survival and battle instincts. If done properly, a natural blockbuster. My verdict: I came across this a long time ago, and watching it a second time still gave me that satifying, heart-pumping sensation as the parties battle for their lives. Amazing piece of nature thriller – 4/5 [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/EJSsRILZpRg" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

7. Olympics logo tweaked

The 2012 logo backlashed. I couldn’t find the original video (or more accurately, the London authorities have taken it down) so the video above is sort of like a remix of what seems to be a very, very uninspiring logo of the London 2012 Olympics. My verdict: Nothing much to be seen. I suppose the complain came because a figure of 400k pounds was slapped upon the creation of this logo, which didn’t turn out as good as it was valued for. What is your take on it? – 1/5 [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/jHjFxJVeCQs" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

6. Dramatic prairie dog

A prairie dog is a hamster look-a-like. The video is a really short one, but it tells of the dramatic life of this particular prairie dog. It got world-wide attention one day, and become loved by millions of viewers. One actually liked it so much he created a one-minute video of it. Some guys are just off the tops lol. My verdict: Short-lived humour, though I must say its expression is worth a million viewers lol! – 3/5 [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/BYpdJRbWX34" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

5. Sam the shoplifting seagull

Do you love cheese Doritos? I know I do. But ever heard of a seagull’s passion for it, who goes as far as to shoplifts from a newsagent in Aberdeen when nobody is around?! Ridiculous, I know, but let me introduce to you a truly Aberdonian seagull who’s name is Sam. My verdict: It’s amazing how something like this could get international fame, but I suppose nobody could help but love little Sam for his adorable antics. When a human steals he gets scorned, but when a bird steals… *shrug* haha! – 3/5 [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/kHmvkRoEowc" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

4. Leave Britney alone!

I’m pretty sure a lot of you have heard of the infamous Chris Crocker who defended Britney Spears with unparalleled passion. Here it is again, much to my bemusement. My verdict: I’ve seen it before, I’m seeing it again. I can’t help but laugh at this poor guy! Evil I know. Come let’s watch together, popcorn, anyone? 😛 – 4/5 [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sr2JneittqQ" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

3. Groovy Dancing Girl

One girl with very, very eccentric but catchy moves. An amazing song by Daft Punk- “Harder Better Faster Stronger” which incidently got turned into Stronger by Kanye West, my current favourite song! What more could I ask for? My verdict: Superb value for entertainment, if fast-forwardish bone-popping wierd dance is your cuppa tea. If it’s not, just watch it for the sake of watching it. I’ll bet my arse you’ll be entertained 😀 – 4/5 [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/EwTZ2xpQwpA" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

2. Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday

I once got a friend invite on youtube, through yet another youtube friend who is an artist that I still listen to. His name is Tay Zonday, a twenty-five year old aspiring singer with a baritone voice that doesn’t quite match his baby face features. It was that very same reason that I took an interest and listened to not one, but many of his songs. It has this reeaaally irritating quality that I can’t quite adjust to, yet it sounded so unique that I couldn’t stop myself from going away. My verdict: Not something that you may be able to take, because even I find his voice a little… fake, to say the least. Ah but who knows, one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure, so do check it out! – 2/5and last but not least… [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/WALIARHHLII" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

1. Miss Teen USA 2007

A USA beauty queen was asked to answer a question which goes along the lines of why Americans aren’t able to find their own country on the map. Miss Caitlin Upton then become infamously popular for spewing out a lengthy and garbled account of the American education system. I suppose the video speaks for itself really. My verdict: Honestly, I don’t think this one deserved the top place, and my verdict testifies to it also. I supposed maybe people like to watch something that makes a fool of another person. Still, I thought a beauty queen in an international standard SHOULD be at least have a pair of better-than-average brains, and would do better than to try and come up with an answer beyond her capabilities. I know a girl who can do better and STILL look as good as she does. bleh. – 2/5
