So I didn't pick the most popular videos of all time, but I chose my favorites. The most popular videos of all time are music videos of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, and that's no fun. But go see Lady Gaga's "Telephone" video because it's outrageous. Listed in order of most views on YouTube.com
1. "Charlie Bit My Finger" – 2007 – 196,858,015 views
This is an old one, but still a classic. The older little boy sticks his finger in the teething boy's mouth. He has a cute British accent, too.
2. "Evolution of Dance" – Judson Laipply – 2006 – 144,793,177 views
This video takes us through the decades by the popular dances of that time, of course including the worm, the lawn mower and even disco.
3. "Susan Boyle – Singer – "Britain's Got Talent" – 2009 – 93,809,249 views
This was her first appearance and this video is what made her famous. It proves that with today's technology, anyone's dreams can come true.

4. "The Sneezing Baby Panda" – 2006 – 65,121,169 views
I wonder why so many people watch some videos. It's a 16-second clip of mostly nothing, but it's still hilarious.
5. "David After Dentist" – 2009 – 60,620,707 views
So I know we've all seen this, but there is a series of parodies to it. One of them is called "David After Divorce," including the lines "Why is this happening to me?" and "Is this going to last forever?"
6. Charlie the Unicorn – 2006 – 48,137,190 views
I have no idea where this came from. If you've never seen it, it's a cheery cartoon, complete with unicorns, rainbows and dinosaurs, but it doesn't end well.
7. "Powerthirst" – 2007 – 19,704,723 views
It is a combination of a man screaming at you through a megaphone and crazy graphics that really have nothing to do with it, like Kenya and babies. I'd like to think that it's a commentary on energy drinks.
8. "Everyday Normal Guy" – 2007 – 16,049,514 views
Jon Lajoie has a YouTube channel. His songs are hilarious. We've all heard of his "Show Me Your Genitals." This one is about how he is completely average. He's got a bad back. His parents are nice people. He likes "Grey's Anatomy." And so on. But it's a rap.
9. "Where the Hell is Matt?" – 2006 – 15,327,262 views
This is a Stride® Gum commercial. There are more editions now and all are very cool. Matt goes all over the world dancing the same dance in tons of different locations like Paris and Tokyo.
10. "Stalking Cat" (aka "Stealth Cat") – 2008 – 10,476,849 views
It's in Japanese, but there isn't any important sound. Just watch it. Personally, I hate cats and I think it's funny that the majority of videos on YouTube are music videos and cats.
