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, and I gave up on limiting myself to 10 videos a long time ago. 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 an “Honorable Mention” category at the bottom. I usually start with the humor, but don’t miss the non-humorous ones at the end. Enjoy!
If you’re interested, here are links to lists from previous years:

Can I Get a Witness?
This guy witnessed the crash of a fighter jet near his rural home. No one was injured, but his description of what happened is one for the ages.
I’ll bet you a million dollars that this guy has a tremendous singing voice.

We Peaked in the 1980’s
Apparently, human civilization reached its apex in the 1980’s. Kind of an open and shut case from what I can tell here.

This is fantastic.

Father and Son at the French Open
A tennis player gets emotional after losing his match in the French Open. His son runs to him at the end of the match. The crowd roars approval. Even the winning player lost it.
I’m not crying. You’re crying.

Jayden Daniels Wins the Heisman
Jayden Daniels won the Heisman in 2023. Here are my two favorite plays from his historic season. In his epic 85-yard run for a touchdown against Florida, he clocked a top speed of 21.8 mph. What an incredible player.
Here are my two favorite plays from Jayden Daniel’s Heisman season, followed by my favorite play from his career at LSU.

Taylor and Travis Sitting in a Tree…
Well, 2023 will be remembered for Taylor Swift’s entry into football fandom. Here’s a clip of her first appearance at one of her new boyfriend’s games. Some epic memes came out of this one.
Taylor Swift’s football fandom seems a little bit like Taylor Swift’s country music stardom.

The Chinese Spy Balloon
This is the best spy-balloon explosion video I’ve seen.
An old friend from college is at Myrtle Beach with some cadets from the Citadel, one of whom captured this video.
Listen to the cheers from the cadets.#ShotDown
