I don’t even remember my first, but I could watching that dancing baby for ages. There’s a big place in my heart for dancing babies.
oh man how I hated that dancing baby. so creepy!
LOL, the dancing baby!! But where’s my date night toots?
That dancing baby one is what started the whole zombie thing. I swear. It’s creepy.
Happy Friday, LiLu… Hope you have an excellent weekend! ;o)
Oh the fat kid! I remember him. For like two weeks that stupid video was everywhere…
Thank you for the intense flashbacks.
OMG. I’ve never seen that blind date fart one but holy hell was that funny. How mortifying would that be?!?! Could be just b/c I like fart jokes though. I’m easily amused with those.
Happy Friday my luv cake! xoxo
So, I’ve never seen the Chocolate Rain video before… and it disturbs me to no end. Yeesh.
how about these guys!? my fav from freshman year

Ah, the Hamster Dance. I loved that. I was obsessed. It was sad. And I still sing it…
Hahahaha. I loved the Hamster Dance. One of my faves was the two Asian kids singing Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way.”
I did a slightly similar post last month for YouTube’s birthday, in which I posted a bunch of my faves. I normally hate pimping links to my posts on other people’s blogs, but you’ve been pimping yourself like a…well…a pimp lately, so I don’t feel so bad.
Happy Birthday to YouTube
The dancing baby put me off bathroom time at night.eek!
Do you remember the annoying squirrel? He was hilarious!
HAHAHAHAHAH OH MY GOD I’ve never seen the “Blind Date” one. “I felt it!” HAHAHAHAHA. One more time, please.
Star Wars Kid belongs on this list.
Wasn’t the dancing baby an Allie McBeal thing? Now it looks so fake I can’t believe we ever accepted it or thought it was funny. My expectations have grown to an unacceptable level obviously.
I prefer the kitty cat dance. Equally as unbelievable.
OMG – you are like my own personal Daniel Tosh today….
Awesomeness.
As a token Asian I have to say I really enjoyed Yatta!

I love the Hamster Dance. We watched it all the time in French class when I was in 8th grade.
Sneezing panda and the BSB videos are my absolute favourites lol
I tend to break out sneezing panda and “Pearl” from Funny or Die as co-worker “getting to know you” moments, their reactions tell you a lot about a person
I love this! My favorite is the sneezing panda! So cute!! Thanks for making my Friday!
I hate to be nebbish, but that was Gloria Gaynor not Aretha Franklin singing in the Alien Singing video. We Aretha fans are vey picky.
@Patty Duke,
Ahhhh! Fixing now! How dare I
I remember some of them, especially the Chinese Backstreet Boys. LMAO
What about Will Ferrell and Pearl the landladay? That’s hilarious as well! ;p
omgosh I use to mimic the dancing baby and it creeped my mom out so bad lol. All of those videos bring back memories.
god, i can’t not watch that BSB vid the entire way through every. single. time. i come across it. love those dude. and i love even more that their roommate is just sitting there the whole time, playing a video game.
Thanks doll for adding it! I’m still giggling.
And the bebe just grabbed the computer to hear where the noise was coming from. 
See…all kids aren’t bad!!! LOL!
That Ooga Chacka baby is second only to: The Hoff’s version of that song. Check out the video. You’ll die. In a good, good way.
This makes me think of What What in the Butt and all of the viral videos fighting eachother. Loves.
It’s amazing how the good ole’ days of viral video are nearly the same as that of today’s. How far we have come! Or rather, how not that far we ended up!
GL on the MTVJ thing.
Next time I’m on FB (tomorrow probably) I’ll add you so I can vote that way right?
Such a fabulous collection! Oh, and tweeting…right…now!
Yes please make sure to send me a Voting Reminder on Facebook!
I love Pearl the landlady. She’s actually Jeremy Piven’s niece in real life.
The only ones I already knew were the hamster dance, the numa numa guy, and the sneezing panda. The Chinese backstreet boys song was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a LOOOONG time. Loveit.
Oh, Lilu, I live in Asia most of the time, and I had completely forgotten the Chinese Backstreet Boys. That was a very good laugh.
SO going to vote for you lady, you deserve it … even if MTV is mean to us Canadians hehe. I -looooved- the Chinese Backstreet Boys. And here are two “videos” that I still love to watch from time to time:
http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com/ (just wait, it gets great, there’s a SNAAAKE!)
Annnd “End of the World”: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/end
Which results with me and friend always saying, “Hokay, so here’s the earth …”
Enjoy
Arghh! My Internet hates YouTube! I can’t play any of the videos. But I remember seeing that Chinese BSB in the local news a couple of years ago. That was effing funny!
Summer of ’07, I was ALL ABOUT “Chocolate Rain.” Actually, I still kind of am.
What about the narcoleptic (thank god for the comment edit option i wrote necropheliac the first time) daschund one? Where it’s running and thend flops down snoring? I’m also a fan of the classic short film “dramatic hamster” Great nostalgic post, I love it!
I remember the hampster dance from when I was in 4th grade!
Girl, I’m trying to help with this Twitter shit, but I’m afraid I’m a total twit. I have no idea what I’m doing. Or could it be that I’m completely uninterested in Twitter or Tweeting or anything in the Twittery genre?? Either way, I’m so glad the voting is via FB. That, I can do!
I love that starwars kid. He just gets me. I know I’m having a kid like that if I can ever get someone to mate with me.
Ah Gos, sure they’re all amazing!!!! My personal favourite is the Leave Britney Alone video….gooooooood times!
HAAAA! The sneezing panda made me jump out of my seat!!!!!
I don’t know how this is even possible, but my husband hadn’t seen hamster dance until now. Seeing it again for the first time in YEARS just made my day.
The Will Ferrell vid is my fave. Love him. Sorry, LiLu, not a fan of the hampster dance!

AISHA! How did no-one say Aisha????
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlurgF8KhsU
wow I’ve never seen that Blind Date Commercial! LMAO! I had some great nostalgia watching Numa Numa…good times in college with that song
Not that I have any interest in watching either of these viral videos again but…
Shoes. Omigod, Shoes.
and MUFFINS!
Sophomore year of college! Those videos were like the savior to awkward-mornings-after-one-night-stands.
“…so have you seen that thing on YouTube…Shoes?”
i dont remember the very first one, but the will ferrel landlord one was the funniest!
I know I’m pretty late to the game here, but what about the one with the kid who goes batshit crazy when his mom takes away his World of Warcraft account? Or, our very favorite, Where the Hell is Matt? http://vimeo.com/1211060 still my numero uno. And I saw it here first.
I love hamster dance!! My original hamster dance isn’t the same as yours, but I still love it!
I’d totally forgotten about the alien singing “I Will Survive.” My 10th grade English teacher loved that video and played it in class all the time. Ah, memories!
Thanks for that blast from the past…
OMG MY CHINESE BSB! I forgot about them ::swoon:: I used to um, maybe do that dance. A lot. With my gay best friend. Possibly.
Side note, the sneezy baby Panda? KILLS ME EVERYTIME. It makes me so happies.
