Updated on February 5, 2007

This version includes the short skit in the beginning, while the other (which was uploaded about a year prior on May 5, 2006) does not.

(Fun fact: LiamKyleSullivan makes reference to this video in his other video "No Booty Calls" by wearing a shirt with the mom's head wearing a party hat. Nice self-marketing, Liam.)

2. “Muffins” by LiamKyleSullivan

Updated on February 5, 2007

Another fun fact: Both this video and "Shoes" were uploaded on the same day. Props to LiamKyleSullivan for creating some of the most viral videos on YouTube.

3. “Spoons” by David Firth

Uploaded on May 9, 2007

"Hello there, young child. I'm here to inquire about your spoons." Terrifying? Funny? Weird? All of the above? Yes.

4. “End Of Ze World” by AlbinoBlacksheep

Uploaded on April 18, 2008

According to the video description, this video was "released on albinoblacksheep.com on October 30, 2003." Five years later, it would be uploaded on YouTube to be viewed almost 10 million times.

5. “Everyday Normal Guy” by JonLajoie

Uploaded on November 21, 2007

This being one of the more well-known ones, Jon Lajoie was the creator of many great videos. If you haven't already checked out his channel, you should definitely go do that now. (WARNING: Although they're hilarious, the content of his other videos may be NSFW.)

6. “Mortal Kombat Theme” by Smosh

Uploaded on November 19, 2005

The Smosh duo was ahead of their time (or perhaps right on time) with producing and editing original, comedic content. I recently read a post that said they earned millions of dollars just from their YouTube channel.

7. “Charlie bit my finger – again !” by HDYCT

Uploaded on May 22, 2007

It doesn't matter if you're in your twenties or in your fifties, you've probably seen this video before. It has been viewed over 824 MILLION times! Insane.

8. “Grape lady falls!” by yankeesfan22vt

youtube.com / Via youtube.com

Uploaded on December 19, 2007

Are we supposed to feel bad for laughing? Maybe. Also, when re-watching this video, I couldn't help but notice how insincere the news people were after watching the woman fall. "Oh, no. Oh, dear." "Yowch!" "She took a hard fall off there!"

9. “Numa Numa” by The Geeker

This classic speaks for itself.

Uploaded on May 6, 2008

"Good guys, bad guys, and explosions / As far as the eye can see / And only one will survive / I wonder who it will be / This is the ultimate showdown . . ."

11. “Dramatic Chipmunk” by cregets

youtube.com / Via youtube.com

Lasting a mere six seconds, could this possibly be the very first vine of all time? I think so.

12. “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!” by itschriscrocker

youtube.com / Via youtube.com

Uploaded on September 10, 2007

No words are necessary for this one.

(Note: Chris Crocker recently deleted his YouTube account, so this isn't the original. Also, go check out his Facebook page. He still puts up amazing videos. If you can see this, hi and I love you, Chris!)

13. “Evolution of Dance” by Judson Laipply

Just a few weeks ago, someone commented saying, "still wondering how I didn't see this until now… (2015)." On its way to 200 million, this video is still accumulating views after being uploaded over six years ago.
