YouTube's 50 Best Videos

Have you ever wondered what makes a YouTube video go viral?

We have all seen when a silly, weird, interesting, and/or crazy YouTube videos go viral.  It is played on all forms of social media as well as the news.  It is the popular topic to discuss and then dies down after a few weeeks of fame.  Time Magazine released a list of YouTube's 50 best videos.  Surprisingly enough, I have seen the majority of these videos.

Some of the videos on this list include...

• Charlie Bit My Finger
• Evolution of Dance
• Charlie the Unicorn
• Potter Puppet Pals
• "United Breaks Guitars"

It is hard to comprehend the amout of views on some of these videos.  I've seen a play count of over 153 million views.  That was on a new music video.  Being a newly released video, it is difficult to believe that many people have already watched it already.

What do you think makes a video go viral?  Sometimes all it takes is a few seconds of unscripted random events and your video could be seen all over the world.
