The Web’s Greatest Hits?

I have a new project I’d like some help on. I’m compiling a list of the WWW’s greatest hits. By this I’m referring to the sites, games, and outright stupidity that have periodically overrun everyone with a Net connection. Below are listed ten that come immediately to mind, but I’d like to make sure I’m not forgetting anything. So send me your suggestions and I’ll give you due credit.

  • Hampster Dance
  • Pingvin
  • We Love the Iraqi Information Minister
  • Dancing Baby
  • Jib Jab: This Land Will Surely Vote for Me
  • weebl: Badgers
  • Rather Good: Viking Kittens
  • Alek’s Christmas Lights Webcam
  • All Your Base Are Belong to Us
  • Star Wars Kid

  • as a manager at work, no site caused me more grief than homestartrunner.com

  • I missed this one completely – what was it all about?

  • sorry, mis-typed. homestarrunner.com
    what was it all about? – mostly, it’s about Strong Bad. you just have to see it, i guess.
    http://www.happytreefriends.com was overdone too.

  • oh
    Oh, THAT. Yes. On the list.

  • well, i remember falling off my laughter becaues of a very silly video clip featuring a singing squirrel and the refrain, “gonads and strife! gonads and strife!” the website from which i originally saw this piece no longer exists, but i’m sure a google search would turn it up. (“squirrel + gonad”?) it was a cult favorite in my crowd 😛
    also you definitely missed another VERY IMPORTANT track! again, i apologize for not having the link but surely you have seen the swedish version of a turkish song wherein lots of bearded old dudes wearing knit turkish caps float around disjointed pointed fingers, and they sing about coca-cola lattes and glueing together hams? “swedish turkish video” may be your best search terms.
    ahh, the internet.
    (i would find the links myself but i am actually writing abroad from an expensive internet connection. why i even decided to comment is beyond me, haha, but i had to leave my 2 cents. these two webvids made me laugh and i was sorry not to see them on your list!)

  • weeee
    http://www.holyzoo.com/media/Weeee.html that’s the gonad’s and strife squirrel

  • I know my work productivity has been hurt at certain points by the “Get Your War On” comic strip… became so popular that Rolling Stone now has a strip in each issue.

  • Re: weeee
    Damn. Yeah, that’s in.

  • good lord. i just re-read this comment and lol’d. i guess i haven’t touched a computer in a while. does it even make sense? hehe. 😉

  • How could you forget Mahir? It’s shocking, really, that if you Google for “I KISS YOU,” this is the first page that pops up.
