Emily's Opinion: My Top 10 Favorite Youtube Videos

Let's be honest. There are days when I wake up in the morning and, before I do anything else, I go to the computer and end up on YouTube. Flash forward an hour later. I'm still in my pajamas, I haven't showered, eaten, or even put a brush through my hair. Nope. I'm still right where I was when I woke up catching up on "What The Buck?!", watching the newest Jukebox the Ghost music video, or even sometimes (shamefully I might add) finding myself re-watching (for the umpteenth time) my favorite user-generated videos. I mean... I LOVE YouTube. I'm kind of addicted to it. But as much as I enjoy being able to watch old clips from Whose Line is it Anyway? and commercials from the 90s, there's nothing better than good old user-generated content (as I mentioned before). 
This is why I'm dedicating this blog post to my all time favorite user-generated YouTube videos.

I know, I know, y'all have seen this one before. But I can't help it. Back when I was in high school and this was really popular, I loved it, and I still do. (Especially "Asbestos. I'm baking muffins asbestos I can!") So sue me :P

I don't really know why, but this gets me every time. Probably because it's something I would have done (and subsequently managed to annoy my parents with) pretty much every day. 

One word. GENIUS. Note: don't try this on your friends. They won't think it's that funny... believe me.

Okay so we all know by now (and have known for years) that "lonelygirl15", or "Bree", is not a real person and that the whole story line between her and her friend Daniel is completely scripted. Back in the day, however, I used to really love lonelygirl15's channel and always hoped that in the next video Bree and Daniel would finally get together! I found this video particularly endearing, and I still like to watch LG15's old videos from time to time.

What can I say? Everyone loves Fred... and I am not an exception to that generalization. He really does sound like a three year old. That's what makes it so funny. 

Again, I know everyone has seen this one. And again, I can't help it. I love Harry Potter and I double love the Potter Puppet Pals. Snape, Snape, Severus Snape... so catchy!

This is, hands down, the weirdest thing I've ever seen on YouTube. (Yes, that includes Charlie the Unicorn). But, at the same time, I think it's really hilarious. Most of my friends don't share the same opinion but still... it's amazing!

I absolutely, positively, 100%, LOVE Michael Buckley. There were a lot of videos of his I could have chosen... but for some reason this one is my absolute favorite. There's something just so genuine and simple about it.

Okay, so I think I can safely say that 99% of you have not seen this video. Also, if you're not into baseball and aren't a Cubs fan, you probably won't find too much humor in this video. If you are, though, you HAVE to check this out. It cracks me up every time and my best friend and I are constantly quoting it.

Ohhh doglover. This is hands down my absolute favorite YouTube video. This girl's moves are AMAZING. In fact, she has so many amazing videos, it was incredibly hard to pick one. Before you ask, I am in no way making fun of her. I think she's amazing. If I were her age, had access to a webcam or video camera, and YouTube had already been invented back then, I would have done the exact same thing.

Well, that about wraps it up.
And, like I said before, I looove my YouTube, so if any of y'all have any favorite videos... be sure and send them my way!

Cheers

    Thanks for this list, Emily - some of them I'd never seen before. My fave by far is Kittens Inspired by Kittens. It's hilarious.
