This video is one of the coolest videos ever – check out how these guys use six treadmills to create a sort of music video – totally off the wall, but uber creative and well choreographed. However, I’m not sure I like the song anymore, but I definitely love the video!

Not my favorite video, but definitely has some entertainment value. However, there were a ton of funnier videos than this one. Heck, we even shot a video of a naked crazy man that ranks #2 on Google for “Naked Crazy Man” and ended up with a few thousands views.

This is a weird rant from a guy who is pretty down-to-earth and funny – when he tries to cover up his bald spot I just about shlit my pants. WARNING: This is an 8+ minute video so make sure you have the time – it’s difficult to turn it off once you start it. This guy meets diagnosis for about 10 different psychological disorders; however, he’s probably one of the most fun guys to be around ever (next to Neil Patel from PronetAdvertising.com).

Best Series – “Ask A Ninja” by digitalfilmmaker

This one is really stupid – not sure what is so cool about it. In general, it’s really silly that this guy would dress as a ninja and talk about nothing. Well, to give the video some credit it was voted “best series.” I guess this means that there may be better videos put out by “Ask the Ninja,” but I’m not too interested in watching any more. Ask a Ninja inspired my friend Shmuly put out a series called “Ask a Jew” – now that is a pretty cool series.

Love this girl – she is an awesome artist….This is the kind of stuff YouTube is all about – prior to her putting music videos out on YouTube she was playing in front of about 50 people a night – because of her popularity on YouTube she was recently signed by Island Records (nice call Island) and is about to put out her first big record – I predict it will go platinum and we’ll be seeing her on the VMA’s and the Grammy’s.

Again, this is what YouTube is all about – very powerful video. The ability to put out a positive, powerful, compelling video like this one and have over 12 million people view it is outstanding. I just hugged my entire staff and gave my dog two bones.
Yeah – this video was made to promote a music record, but we can look past that since the message is really tht strong.

Most Adorable – “Kiwi!” by Madyeti47

Definitely a cool video with excellent animation. Also, I have to agree that it is adorable, especially when the bird grows her tiny wings and is able to fly.
Not that this video has anything to do with cartoons like the Simpsons and Southpark, but I never really got into those shows – I’m not against cartoons, but for whatever the reason I find it hard to identify with the characters.
