Who else wants to hear more of the piano version of the numa numa song.

He can't top DJ Rotti, but upvote of course - ^yeah, please fix the link

Looks like the guy listened to the critics and dropped out the "numa numa" portion of the video.

What will kill the Internet?


In my opinion, it died when that Numa Numa video came out.

Questionables..

The girl with the rainbow colored leggings. I know of one or two high resolution pictures (one of them has been turned into a inspirational poster) of a model wearing them, but recall no such video or animated gif of this girl.

In the massive collage at the end, theres a pair of 3 animated CG models. They don't look like anything I recognize, but the distorted form and copied animation dance reminds me of the dancing baby, or the Japanese music player that allowed user loadable models that then made them dance to music (if any of you have seen the dancing spider man, that was from this program).

There is also what appears to be a floating metal star with a circular grill that rings no bells in the same collage.

And the 3 dancing idiots. I spent most of the time trying to find these guys with no luck. They use the same stage as the numa guy though, so maybe its not a meme?

Bonus: Check out the will it blend link.

Colbert and Olbermann. Two of the internet's favorite greatest heroes TOGETHER, bashing O'Reilly! It's like jesus doing the numa numa!

lip-synch videos are a scourge on the internet. there is no excuse for them in these post numa-numa times.

Hmm.. How to loosen the definition of a viral video so that it doesn't include everything here?

Well, I guess the easiest way to do that would be to say something that is becomes a meme (Star wars kid, numa numa guy, drama king) is a viral video. But therein lies the problem. How can yo submit something that will become a meme and know it will end up as a viral?

Maybe the viral tag should be earned as an invocation only? And be seconded like a ban? That wold sort of be like a little VS hall of meme. That way not just any video gets the title, and only the ones that are considered by some of the more veteran sifters to be memes become a viral.

So basically, only the videos that explode over the internet can be tagged as a viral, or ones that really hold true to the original meaning of "viral marketing".

but I wasn't thinking of this when we created the channel.
GAYTV also started out as "Give Away Your TV, but is now host to all sorts of make-me-shudder creepiness.

I can't come up with a perfect solution, and other than blocking the viral tag to those without stars/confirming channel assignment, that's the best I have.
I just know that it gets annoying not only for me, but for others as well.

And jonny, I wasn't talking about confirming all your channel selections, just the viral.

woah. thanks for the awesome list !

Yeah, more or less.

• it's viral if it's made with the intention of being spread in the web;
• or if it spread A LOT in the web anyway, despite the original plan (such as Drama King, or Miss South Carolina, or Numa Numa);
• or if it's made with the intention of being widely spread in the real life, such as BudWeiser's Whassssuuuuup!

Did I forgot anything?

PS: it's understandable to be mistaken, since I've not seen here in the sift an official and clear definition about that.

don't undo tooo many of those. Anything that is commercial but targeted for online videos is viral in my book.

any advert that wants to spread via word of mouth or stupid/smart/shocking video is viral.

Also viral is numa / idiotgirl15 / the drama gopher.

Feels like he's approaching numa numa status.. but very different, coming up with his own stuff

I was waiting for him to break into the Numa Numa song.

Bloody brilliant.
