Don’t lie to us, Broncos, we know you’ve done it. Heard about crazy YouTube video and then forwarded it like its hot. Don’t be ashamed – the PopRocks! girls are all about viral video. The dramatic chipmunk, Hamster Dance, the Thriller prisoners, Muffins. We love ‘em all. This top five is somewhat viral itself; the whole Arbiter staff got in on the action. Here are the results for Top Five Viral Videos of the New Millennium:
5. Char promised Laura she could pick one video starring a baby. And you have to admit, The Landlord had its fans. Pearl the landlord berating a fro’d out Will Ferrel definitely warranted a laugh. It also had its critics. Parents everywhere protested when that darling blonde two-year-old called Ferrel a “bitch” over and over. But hey, those parents had to download it to know what they were protesting, didn’t they?
4. A special PopRocks! thank you to Miss Erin Williams for turning us on to this gem. Another adorable little girl saying incredibly random, disturbing things – just what we need in these tough times. Here’s our question: who filmed this for her? She’s like 5 years old. Did her parents tell her to make video narrating cat images discussing beef jerky and their own parentage?
3. What the hell is that thing anyway? Regardless, this small ground mammal won over hearts worldwide when it looked menacingly into the camera lens for five seconds. Thousands of remakes later, its still funny. Just don’t think about why for
too long
2. Show of hands: how many of us had our viral video cherry popped by “Kelly” two years ago? The creator of Cunningham Muffins returns in all his cross-dressing glory to bring us the tale of girl and her shoes. The Internet may contain a lot of random crap, but this video takes the cake. There’s hula-hoop-of-fire bikini girl, sparkly-purple-cape man, and Robert-Palmer-guitar-and-red-lipstick girl – just to name a few. Don’t worry, Kelly, we thought those shoes sucked too.
1. This incredibly underrated import from India features Benny Lava, India’s equivalent to George Michael. Only his name isn’t Benny Lava. And it’s only sort of from India, because the subtitles are English. And they’re not actually subtitles. Are you confused yet? Don’t be. Just sit back, relax, and let Benny and his M&M-colored back-up dancers answer the age-old question: who put the goat in there?
