Top 10 Viral Videos of All Time

 

Is it just me or does it seem like the world is slowly beginning to evolve around that most mysterious and intangible force: the internet? More and more Americans are getting their news and entertainment fix not from their television, but online. Heck, we're even going so far as to figure out how to hook the internet up to our TV's so we can watch YouTube or whatever other viral video of the moment on the big screen, with the ones we love and a carton of ice cream.

So what exactly is a viral video? It's a video clip of content which gains widespread popularity through the process of Internet sharing, typically through email, IM messages, blogs, and other media sharing websites. Viral videos are often humorous in nature and may range from televised comedy sketches such as Saturday Night Live's Lazy Sunday, to unintentionally released amateur video clips like Star Wars Kid.

According to the BBC, these are the Top 10 Viral Videos of all time:
