At the end of every year, I like to post a round-up of my favorite viral videos from the year. As we close out 2019, I thought it might be fun to do a round-up of the top videos from the last decade. As usual, this ranking is totally unscientific. Only one person was polled to compile this list—yours truly. Also, there actually more than ten, but who’s counting? If you think I’ve missed one, let me know on Twitter, and I’ll consider giving it an “honorable mention.” Enjoy!

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

2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | 2011 | 2010

We need a momma!

This little guy gives a heartwarming speech to his mother who is in the hospital to deliver a baby. The video actually went viral on Facebook, but the YouTube version is a little better quality.

Speedo Dad Picks Up Teenage Son from School (2017)

The dad is Justin Beadles, and he happens to be an old friend of mine from seminary. He’s a pastor now in Stillwater, OK. And yes, he was hilarious back in the day too. This video was hilarious when I first saw it, but it was not surprising. Not. One. Bit.

Yanny or Laurel? (2018)

Remember this debate? In case you missed it, I located the original audio source for this, and the speaker actually is saying “Laurel.”

Brothers convince sister of zombie apocalypse (2016)

It’s another one of those coming-out-of-anesthesia videos. And I think it’s my favorite of all time. What a great video to represent 2016!

Eric Metaxas at National Prayer Breakfast (2012)

Swagger Wagon (2010)

We drove swagger wagons throughout the 2010’s. I like to imagine myself like the video below and not face that fact that swagger wagons are the sweatpants of automobiles. This is how you roll when you just don’t care anymore.

Darth Vader on Your GPS (2010)

Notice the technology that is now passé. We no longer use GPS units separate from our phones. Also, this video is not in HD. Many of us were still watching Tube TV’s in 2010, believe it or not.

Double Dream Hands (2010)

I think that if we could put this guy in charge of 2020, everything would be better. Who’s with me?
