Microsoft's deeply awkward attempt at a “spontaneous” viral dance video turns out just kind of weird and depressing. Given the proliferation of too cool for school, Mac-fanboy tech blogs, this was probably never going to go well. But yikes.
The Auto-Tune The News kids return, this time with all your favorite YouTube celebrities. I hope they manage to auto-tune a cat for the next one.
Ahead of national elections on Sunday, German parties are taking a page out of the American viral-video playbook. “Steini Girl” is Social Democrat Franz-Walter Steinmeier's counterpart to Obama Girl. [Editor's Note: I feel like they didn't get it quite right here. Somehow. Anyone else feel that way?]
TV Buzz MTV's newest cartoon is an homage to the music video-mocking idiots Beavis and Butthead, but without the music videos. Instead, cubicle dwellers DJ & The Fro commentate on the latest viral videos. In my eyes only The Soup can discuss Keyboard Cat and the like, but with all these new web-based shows, only time will tell.
One dude attempts to do what Maru did, except he's bigger. Now that's a dick in a box. Thank you, Internet.
Culture Buzz Who doesn't love penguins!? Here's a top 5 hilarious penguin moments for your viewing pleasure. Have we left one out?
Nothing is better than finding out your favorite crush has the same interests as you. Case in point? Zac Efron's imitation of the famed video, “David After Dentist.” So what if he's completely clueless about Star Wars Trumpet (FAIL), his eyes say that we are still meant to be together.

Get yer learn on with this comprehensive list (with 20 additions each day this week) of the most iconic, memorable moments in viral video history. Only one missing from the list so far (in my humble opinion)? Liza “Jitarded Children” Minnelli on Larry King. Nvr 4get.
Tech Buzz Actually, the official title is: “Greg Rutter's Definitive List of The 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced On The Internet Unless You're a Loser or Old or Something.” And that pretty much explains it, doesn't it?
Does this dude have Kitten Girl beat? Cats who are witches versus cats who blog: it's your call.
There should be some sort of rule that bars State Comptrollers from trying to make “viral” videos. For their own sakes, as well as ours. But now that it's out there, here's “Real Taxpayers of Genius” - a spoof on those old Bud Light commercials that encourages you to e-file your taxes. It's spine-tinglingly bad, and worth watching a couple of times.
A female body builder in a bikini solves a Rubik's cube to the beat of a steel drum band. But we're on to you, sneaky body builder wearing Ray-Bans. You're doing it backwards!

Take a walk through internet history with this retrospective of the best viral videos of the year, all slammed together into one 6 and a half minute masterblaster. Great soundtrack too! Who knew nerds could be so bad-ass?! (I did. I have faith in you.)

All of (many of) 2008's finest viral videos in one great five-minute package, from Bert & Ernie singing MOP to Tom Cruise being insane to Christian the Lion hugging his old friends. Something to put in the time capsule.
Sports Buzz The slinky man provides some halftime entertainment. Can you tell where the guy's body is?
This is the story of Pete, the Meat Puppet. He went from beef parts on a butcher table to the life of a celebrity coke whore seemingly overnight. Learn the words and sing along! Sometimes advertising is soooo weird. This is what happens when you live a life of $100 jeans.
In case you missed it, check out this video of a cow getting hit by a plane. Mooooo!!!!
