Top 10 Viral Videos of 2009
Thanks to sites like YouTube, World Star Hip-Hop, OnSmash and FunnyOrDie, there was never a dull moment in 2009. Videos of Pretty Ricky gyrater Spectacular and wannabe rapper Bangs spread faster than H1N1, while another clip put Charles Hamilton on the wrong side of a punch seen ‘round the world. Whether it was just plain silly, simply inane or “Pause” worthy, if you watched, laughed and passed it onto your friends, you were part of what made it a viral video. There were way too many to count this year, but sharing is caring, so here’s ten of my faves:
Prop 8: The Musical
“Hairspray’s” Marc Shaiman decided to tackle America’s hot button issue of gay marriage in musical form and virtually every comedian in Hollywood teamed up to take on the topic.
Bangs Take U To Da Movies
Bangs put Sudan on the map, with his take-you-out YouTube pleas. Poorly edited photo-shopped imagery and near tone deaf vocals couldn’t keep this Bangs video from becoming one of the biggest viral hits of the year.
Khaled McDonald’s Ad
Khaled’s on air promos for McDonald’s hit the “Pause” button hard, as he proclaimed the joy of that “cream hitting your face.” It probably wasn’t meant to be funny, but Miami’s favorite radio DJ’s signature delivery proved priceless when he finally said something other than “We Da Best!”
Booty Pop Panties
For all those babies without back, “Booty Pop” promised bigger bootys to all the cuties suffering from “noassatall”. It’s no wonder the Whooty (white girl with booty) was at an all time high this year, with even Martha Stewart and Kelly Ripa adding testimonials to this popular informercial.
Ballers and Rappers – Jasiri X
Jasiri X has had dozens of entertaining videos this year, but his latest one, “Ballers and Rappers” is perhaps the most inspiring.
David After Dentist
It shouldn’t be so funny to watch a little kid suffer the effects of dental anesthesia, but little David’s post-surgery high proved so hilarious that millions tuned in to watch.
Tiger Woods Reenactment
While Tiger Woods publicly claimed his wife never put hands on him, most of the media – especially in China, seemed to think otherwise. This cartoon re-enactment of Tiger’s imprinted an image of a golf club wielding Elin Woods that can never be erased.
Charles Hamilton Gets Smacked
After landing a coveted spot on the cover of XXL Charles Hamilton fell all the way off when a video emerged of him disrespecting, and subsequently being socked by, his assistant and one time love interest Briana Latrise.
Evian Babies
Creepy yes, but Evian’s diverse special effects-created cast of babies breakdancing and roller skating to “Rappers Delight” proved uber popular in ’09.
SNL On A Boat
SNL’s Lonely Island singing antics continued into 2009, propelling T-Pain’s fame to even greater heights by teaming with the King of Autotune for their rap/sung sketch about living the high life.
[...] Charles Hamilton. Not only is he mad talented, but he also seemed to be really hungry. But then, he got punched in the face by his ex-girlfriend and his label decided to push his album back. Since then, he has pretty much [...]
