He ended up creating a series of gibberish-filled videos that have entertained and confused millions. 'I would just dump all the footage in there, watch it with the sound off, then kinda go from there,' he told the Verge in a 2013 retrospective piece. Chicago-based filmmaker Eric Fensler, who went on to write for Tim and Eric and currently works for the Portland-based ad agency Wieden + Kennedy, made the videos in 2003 with the help of friends after stumbling upon the PSA's during a re-watch of 1987's G.I. Joe PSA parodies was essential viewing for anyone who ever typed the words 'eBaum's World' into a web browser. There's no reason to arrest or tase this idiot, and he does himself no favors by coining a catchphrase etched in the public consciousness: Don't tase me, bro! You can add all the political remonstrating you want, but a bro is a bro is a bro, even when electricity is passed through his body until he screams bro.Įvery one of the pleasingly strange G.I. term, when it had long become clear that the administration had successfully shifted the context of public discourse to PATRIOTISM OR WEAK-ASS LIBERAL BULLSHIT, and a precursor to the increased attention on excessive force by police. It's annoying and potentially entertaining (usually just annoying), but the way things devolve here are both a horrible nightmare of the second W. Anyone who's ever gone to a public question-and-answer event knows the subject of the video: the guy who has a comment, rather than an actual question. The most memorable political event John Kerry was ever involved in as an elected official occurred at the University of Florida in 2007, and it had nothing to do with him.

At the end of the day, what makes a YouTube video great? Like most treasures online, you know it when you see it.ĩ. We've almost certainly left off your personal favorite.

Not every viral video is great, and not every great video goes super-viral. And with apologies to the TGIF theme song guy, we also stuck to bona fide YouTube hits.Īs you scroll through the cavalcade of videos on this list, you'll encounter viral videos you definitely remember, viral videos you definitely forgot, selections that have aged like fine wines, and a few relics from less enlightened times that, on their own terms, still have merit. We largely avoided music videos, web series, tutorials, and sketch comedy, wells so deep they deserve separate rankings of their own. In compiling this all-important ranking, we traveled back to the dawn of YouTube (2005!) and worked our way forward, amassing a daunting trove of links and whittling them down to the absolute best, funniest, most subversively 'online' 100 videos. That's what caught us: When does a YouTube video turn from merely a YouTube video into a great YouTube video? And which great YouTube videos over the years are the greatest? Sometimes, if enough people deem a particular video undeniably watchable all at once, it becomes a phenomenon with the cultural cachet to demand that you take notice and catalog it as a historical event. And a dude lip-syncing TGIF theme songs while sitting on the toilet.įor better or for worse, YouTube is the ultimate time-waster, the place you go when you literally have to watch the Howard Dean scream right now and the place you remain an hour later after the rabbit hole you descended eventually spat you out on an '80s video dating montage. And lo-fi hip-hop beats to study/relax to. Its comment sections are famously noxious, its algorithms proliferate conspiracy theories, its filters fail to protect kids' feeds, and its ad-revenue-sharing model props up problematic vloggers. Perform 10 reps your first set, then nine on the second set, and so on down to 6 reps.Like most unicorns, YouTube isn't perfect. If you’re unfamiliar with one of the exercises, Men’s Fitness has you covered with the “How to” links here. Take note too that some sets are broken down in descending ladders, beginning with 10 then dropping a rep until you reach one. Rest after each exercise, then repeat the circuit two more times for three total circuits. The only exception is on Day III, when you’ll complete the exercises 5A through 5E as a circuit. Instructions first: All exercises should be done as sets with very little rest between reps and sets.

He broke down Jordan’s workout monster of a four-day workout routine. The average guy can’t spring for all that-but fortunately for us, Men’s Fitness tracked down Jordan’s trainer, Corey Calliet.
