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 (although my wife helped a little this year). This year’s slate of videos ranges from profound and poignant to downright silly. I have put the three serious videos at the beginning. The rest of the videos (numbers 4-10) are humorous. 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:

2013 | 2012 | 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008

1. My Beautiful Woman
(pro-life message of the year)

2. A Gold-Star Son Honors His Dad

3. The Barronelle Studsman Story

4. Father and Son Dance During Final Four

5. NFL Bad Lip-Reading

6. Frozen Star Wars Parody Music Video

7. Five-year old “apparently” steals the show and gets songified


8. What if the annoyances of conference calls happened in real-life meetings?

9. Social Media Guard

10. 29 Celebrity Impressions in one “Perfect” song

[The truth comes out!]
