It was yet another great week for viral Internet videos last week, and we've compiled the 10 best that had everyone talking.
Among our favorites: Hilarious parodies ('When Harry Met Sally 2,' starring Billy Crystal and Helen Mirren), on-air news pranks and a New York-based hot dog that costs, yep, $69.
Watch them all below.
Last month a video of a Jacob Tucker pulling off a series of spectacular slam dunks became a viral hit. What made the video so striking is that Tucker, a guard for Division III school Illinois College, is white and under six-feet tall — both traits that aren’t typically associated with the dunk.
The purpose of the video was to convince the public to vote Turner i
If your anything like me I love watching youtube just to see other people failing at whatever they are doing, and it just so happened that somebody caught it on camera. I wish I had a camera for all those times I ever did something really stupid and resulted in an injury or just really hurt for quite a while
Beyond the morning-after hangover, one of the cornerstones of a night of heavy drinking is the inevitable drunk dial.
Just ask poor YouTube user mixtapevolumeone, who received a rather devastating phone call from an unknown (read: inebriated) love interest, who claimed she "hit it off right away" with him, and that they shared the same interest in Yo-Yos, among other things.
The message gets progressively worse as the minutes tick away -- not to mention confusing, as the girl claims to work at eBay, only to follow-up by saying she actually works at Jamba Juice. (Which is it?!)
Sure, he discovered the theory of general relativity, but compared to 12-year-old Jacob Barnett, Albert Einstein is starting to look like a slacker.
According to BlipPitt, Barnett has already begun working on an expanded form of Einstein's revolutionary theory, which has since been validated by professors at Princeton University.
Barnett, who was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, has been a whiz for quite some time; at three years old, he could "recite the alphabet, forward and then backward" and "the first 70 digits of the mathematical constant known as pi (he’s up over 200 now)," according to the article. His IQ is currently 170 -- higher than Einstein's. Not bad for a 12-year-old, huh?
Kids do the darndest things.
Take Ray William Johnson, who in 1990 was apparently too advanced for normal three-year-old activities.
Yep, instead of, you know, playing with toys or neighborhood kids, he went straight for a JCB Digger. Even more fascinating is the fact that he managed to operate the machine as if he'd been doing it for, well, a lot longer than three years.
The amazing feat was all caught on video, which has finally made it to YouTube nearly 21 years later. Check it out after the jump (though, parents, you may want to shield it from your kids, as not to give them any ideas).
The mystery of Bigfoot continues today thanks to a local North Carolina resident who claims he saw the elusive figure in person.
Thomas Byers allegedly saw Bigfoot on Golden Valley Church Road in Rutherford County, NC. Fortunately, he had his camera with him, and managed to take a video of the incident, which he later submitted to YouTube.
She's taken the pop world by storm, and now, superstar Lady Gaga apparently has her sights set on country music.
Yesterday, the Grammy-winning singer posted a country road version of her number-one hit single 'Born This Way' on YouTube, offering fans a rare side of the notoriously unpredictable icon.
President Barack Obama ran into a little problem upon his return home from his recent trip to South America.
With the cameras rolling, the President attempted to enter into the Oval Office through a pair of French doors, only to find that he had been locked out
This is a pretty sweet video. Electricity can be very dangerous and powerful but it's so cool to look at. This video isn't very long but it does show you that type of power it can produce.
During the video below, you will hear the play-by-play man scream, "A miraculous stop by Quick!" Then, when you watch the replay, you will realize it may well be a miracle, but it has nothing to do with Jonathan Quick.
It turns out Calgary Flames' winger Jarome Iglina completely beats Quick with the puck. However, due to some invisible force, the puck is redirected before it cross the red line.
Is it an optical illusion? Choppy video? An unseen bump or gorge in the ice? A ghost? Check it out, and tell us what you think.
A twenty-something computer thief learned a valuable lesson after the owner of the stolen laptop accessed the hard drive via remote.
That lesson? Never record yourself dancing awkwardly to hip hop music on a looted laptop before going through the basic steps of wiping it out. Especially if the owner of said laptop is a computer guru with access to the hard drive from an external location.
