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 slate of videos has both humor and humanity with some other odds and ends thrown in. 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:
2018 | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008
Chick-fil-a Prime
Dunkin’ Go2s
This ad still slays me. Whoever thought of the flute with the chimes deserves some kind of Emmy or Golden Globe or something. Brilliant.

Just when I thought that Twitter was the most toxic place of human congregation, this video becomes the most viewed item that I have ever posted on the platform. The outpouring of affection for this simple video was really astonishing.
