Rocking The Suburbs: Best of Viral Videos 2009

My best of YouTube 2008 was one of the most groundbreaking posts in RTS history. At least, that’s what I tell myself. Why mess with a good formula? Here’s the 2009 edition, although I suppose I should get with the times and call it 2009 Best of Viral Videos. (Not to confused with the best of Vivid Video, which Graham will tackle next week).

I’m a sucker for people falling, first and foremost. Make it a public fall makes it that much better. Wear a Cougar costume just takes it over the top.

I love the mashup spoofs, especially those involving ‘90s movies.

If this lyric doesn’t make your heart melt, I don’t know what will: “Hey shorty, you really lookin’ nice. Let me take you to the movies cause I know what you like.” The best part about that lyric is that he’s on the phone when he says it. She’s lookin nice through a phone call? This video might have to be broken down in full later.

Did I mention I like the mashup spoofs yet? I promise this will be the last one. You can’t top He-Man and Queen.

The best destruction of a door to date.

Unless you play pickup basketball, you can just skip this one. If you play with me, you know which one I am.

This reminds me of South Park’s Alabama Man. That’s a compliment.

I’m not going to post one here because I can’t pick just one, but the Between Two Ferns clips on Funny or Die are hilarious.

As you can see, I’m a big fan of mascots. This one is a little more touching, and by touching, I mean, depressing, pathetic and disturbing.

I’m Ron Burgundy?

There’s times when I feel like the most immature person in the world. Then, I realize, there’s 500,000 other people out there laughing at videos like this too.

A simple fart can get 1.1 million views. Gotta love the Internet.

I’ve probably accounted for 15 of these video’s 12+ million views.

The only cool Boston Celtics fan alive. They need to put this in a time capsule.

I’m not going to lie, my face looks exactly the same when someone puts a beer and slice of pepperoni pizza in front of me.

I don’t think this means what you think it means.

I’d watch soccer more often if you could promise stuff like this would happen.

I love trying to make sense of what’s going on in this clip. Considering I’ve never seen the show makes it a little harder. The 2:45 minute is unintentional comedy gold.
