Videos After The Jump
We’re about to wave goodbye to 2010, and that means all the year end “best of” lists are rolling out.
This particular list for “Top 10 Viral Videos Of The Year” is one of the coolest because literally anyone can become a youtube sensation overnight. Antoine Dodson is the biggest example of that on this year’s list.
Compiled by AOL’s Boombox staff, check out these viral clips and see if you agree on both the list and the order in which the videos are ranked
10. Rapping Weatherman
Texas meteorologist Nick Kosir took a page out of the hip-hop handbook when he turned a humdrum forecast into a head-bopping stage show earlier this year. While donning a pair of Rick Ross-esque shades, the Fox Channel 4 employee spit choice lines like, "And my weather rhymes are so hot this morning / By tonight they'll blame me for global warming."
9. 'Life in Quarantine,' The Fully Sick Rapper
After contracting tuberculosis during a trip to South Africa, Aussie Christiaan Van Vuuren flipped open his laptop and busted a rhyme while in quarantine to pass the time. Little did he know that his boredom-killing music video would snake across YouTube, turning his serious bout with illness into entertainment for all. The best part? You can enjoy his hospital stay from a safe distance.
'American Idol' has never been the forum for spawning platinum-selling rap acts, but it has unearthed some odd lyricists, namely General Larry Platt. During the show's ninth season in January, the Atlanta native performed his ode to saggy pants for judges, including Mary J. Blige. While the 64-year-old didn't make it to the next round, he left a rapping impression.
The only thing funnier than a parody of Waka Flock Flame? The inevitable Baracka Flocka Flame music video. In 'Head of the State,' a profanity-spewing Prez impersonator dumbs out in the hood, putting a hilariously political spin on Waka's Southern hit 'Hard In The Paint.' If you stick around long enough in the spoof, you'll also catch Oprah Flocka Flame breaking it down ghetto fab style.
1. Antoine Dodson Warns a Perp on Live TV
The undisputed king of viral videos this year was none other than Antoine Dodson. Catapulted to fame after giving a spicy interview to WAFF-TV News in Huntsville, Ala., the long-haired, bandana-wearing man caught some feelings following a break-in and attempted rape in his apartment. Within days, the video went viral, making "Hide yo' kids, hide yo' wife" the hottest catchphrase since "Yes, we can!"
What do you guys think? Is this a pretty accurate list for best viral videos of the year?
