Top Ten Favorite YouTube Videos

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am a bit of a YouTube junkie.  And while there are any number of channels I enjoy to frequent (Screen Team Show, Geek and Sundry,...) there are also great videos I've discovered just from random searches and clicking links.  

Here I present to you a very fleeting list of my all-time favorite.  I couldn't make this list again, for the videos listed would be quite different in a different moment.  Also, I excluded episodes of webseries for the most part (both number 7 and number 3 actually break that rule but both shows are non sequitur so I don't think I'm cheating too much) so The Guild, Walking in Circles, and Bite Me all didn't make the list, despite being   awesome.  

10. What is Deja vu? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSf8i8bHIns&feature=related) by Vsauce I actually discovered this one while searching YouTube for the the links to the other videos on this list.  I was already familiar with Vsauce from some of his other videos and from mentions by other YouTubers, but didn't have a favorite video of his.  This one really caught my eye though and became a "favorite of the moment" as I often experience "That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French" and found this an interesting explanation of it.  

9. ASDF Movie 5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCnj-uiRCn8&NR=1&feature=endscreen) by Cake Bomb (TomSka) OK, first off...don't tell my wife I like ASDF, I'll never hear the end of it.  She *loves* ASDF.  And she watches them over and over and over and over and...you get the picture.  I was actually going to put ASDF Movie 2 ("I like trains"/"Pie Flavor!"/"Die Potato!" "Not today") but then I found this new(ish) one that I don't think she even knows about (Mwahahaha).  Of course, now that I've told the interweb that she doesn't know about it, she's gonna tell me she saw it way long back before it came out a-go.  You'd have to know my wife.  Moving on now.  

8.  Charlie the Unicorn (aka Candy Mountain Charlie) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsGYh8AacgY) by FilmCow (this link goes to SecretAgentBob's feed which I think is the official version of the video).  OMG, but this video is annoying.  And how.  "Charlie."  Good gravy but I hate this video.  So you're asking yourself why did it make my list of favorites?  Because I hate it... but it's so funny.  "Shun the non-believer shun." "Aw! they took my frickin' kidney!" If you haven't seen it, don't watch it -- I mean, watch it -- but don't watch it.  I'm sorry.  *hangs head in shame*

7.  Top 5 Creepiest Giant Spiders (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ4QZNrI1ls) by TheEscapistMagazine part of the Top 5 with Lisa Foiles series.  Is anyone hotter than Lisa Foiles?  (bring back the blonde hair Lisa!)  If you don't already love Lisa with me you might also wanna check out this video (mostly for the introduction section - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whh-HkW3k2c&feature=relmfu) and, you know, all her other Top 5's and her current run on ReMag, oh and she's in some Black Nerd Comedy videos which is actually where I discovered her.  Here ends the ramble... As for this video, Lisa's countdown of Creepy Spiders, is bookend-ed by some hi-larious scenes of her being a girl about spiders - kinda reminds me of my mom...awkward.  This is only barely my favorite of my many favorite Top 5's and could easily have been another. 

6.  Harry Potter: How It Should Have Ended (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsYWT5Q_R_w) by HISHEdotcom and Starz Digital Media.  I love this video.  I've watched a whole lot of the other HISHE movies and none have been as good as this one (Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi are close, but most of the others are just stupid).  

5.  Batman vs. Superman trailer [Fan Edit] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRmmjxX0yR0&feature=relmfu) by Russkafin Created from scenes from Tim Burton's Batman films and Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, among other sources.  It was followed by a not as good second trailer a couple of years later (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwBblTwtFFc).  I would have loved to see this movie get made back in the ninties.  Other Superman/Batman trailers have come along some good and some bad, but this remains the greatest.  

4.  Pokemon! Party Rock Parody http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOQI-YHwvyU by ScreenTeamShow a parody of LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem and one of ScreenTeam's many awesome "Geekodies" of which it was hard to pick just one.  See Donkey Kong Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6BMmJVzQIU&list=PL936D49D56E7ABD1D&index=28&feature=plpp_video) and Take a Nerdy Picture for Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBBJAk-egYU&list=PL936D49D56E7ABD1D&index=30) among others.  

3.  Scary Smash (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef2wnLL1s00) by Geek and Sundry.  The first episode of Written By a Kid (probably the only show on Geek and Sundry I like more than Tabletop), Scary Smash is intersecting scenes of a Kid telling a story and that story being brought to life I professional movie makers.  There have been other great - and a few meh - episodes of WBAK, but this one is still my favorite.  Also, best thing Dave Foley has done in years...

2.  The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WgT9gy4zQA) by (I think) AlbinoBlackSheep (which is the feed I got it from). My good friend @batchickcrazy introduced me to this a few years ago and it has had a semi-regular viewing ever since.  Godzilla, Batman, Chuck Norris, Abe Lincoln, its got everybody.  

1.  Grayson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_594699&feature=iv&src_vid=XiZuvJ48MZ0&v=QQyfQ7RMOXs) by Untamed Cinema (untamedc).  Aw, Grayson.  Where to begin.  The only Batman movie to even come close to standing up next to the Tim Burton/Michael Keaton films.  I would way more rather see this than any of the Dark Knight trilogy.  It makes me a little sad every time I watch it, cause it isn't real.  DC and WB, just let him make it for realzies.  It will be awesome.   Unless you've read the script.  Then it kinda sucks.  Don't read the script, only the trailer, just the trailer.  Trailer is awesome.  

So there you have them...my Top Ten YouTube Videos of the Moment.  Hope you enjoy them and give some likes and subscribes.  That's what keeps YouTubers going and their who keeps YouTube great.
