100 iconic internet videos

// April 14th, 2009 // No Comments » // Funnies, Video

A few years ago I mentioned that the Numa Numa video was undoubtedly one of those ‘laughing so much the coffee came through my nose’ clips.

The team over at Urlesque listed the top 100 iconic internet videos that made us laugh so much we cried and perhaps, just perhaps, changed the internet as we know it. Admittedly I don’t recognise all of the videos on the list, but here are some of my favourites below.

80. Bill O’Reilly Flips Out (We’ll Do It Live!)
39. The Two Talking Cats
20. The Evolution of Dance
17. Diet Coke and Mentos Eruption
13. OK Go, ‘Here It Goes Again’ Treadmill Video
11. Numa Numa
10. Sneezing Baby Panda
1. Star Wars Kid

Geez it cracks me up every time.

Update: Turns out that it was four years, almost to the day, that I first blogged about the Numa Numa phenomenon. Remarkable.

Numa Numa viral video clip

Numa Numa is undoubtedly one of those ‘laughing so much the coffee came through my nose’ clips.

Essentially it’s a flash-based clip of American Gary Brolsma lip-syncing to the Romanian techno song, “Dragostea Din Tei” by O-Zone, energetically on his webcam.

The video clip made him quite a celebrity, after he first posted his “Numa Numa Dance” on December 12, 2004. Since then it has had over 2,300,000 hits, popped up on hundreds of websites and blogs (including this one) and made appearances on ABC’s Good Morning America, CNN, and VH1′s Best Week Ever.

There are various versions of the clip, the original can be found here and one with additional content added here.

The latter has something to do with the future of ad-free content.
