It’s time for my annual posting of the Top 10 YouTube Videos of the Year (see last year’s list here). This ranking is totally unscientific. Only one person was polled to compile this list—yours truly. This year’s crop contains items relating to sports, theology, news, Christianity, and more. Some of the videos are humorous, and others are poignant. They’re not all actual YouTubes. They’re just internet videos. If you think I’ve left something out, let me know. I’ll think about adding it to the “Honorable Mention” category at the bottom.

If you’re interested, here are links to lists from previous years:

2012 | 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008

1. The Calvinist

2. A Beautiful Story of Generosity

3. Christian Dads Experience What It Feels Like To Give Birth

4. Get off the phone!

5. Van Damme’s Epic Split

[Pffft. That’s nothing compared to what Chuck Norris can do. See below.]

6. Sweet Lorraine

7. Dogs Shaking in Slow Motion

8. What does the fox say?

9. Pick-up basketball stereotypes

10. Don’t try to fix her. Just listen!
