Top 10 Most Hilarious YouTube Videos
It’s a Sunday evening for many of you, and I’m hoping to put a little smile on your face this weekend, to get your week off to a great start in the hopes that you’ll be just a little happier this week. :)
So in that spirit, I’ve put together a list of my favorite funny videos on YouTube.
Please note that these are all in the spirit of fun. There are a couple that might be a little offensive to some, but I hope you won’t take offense. For example, there’s one with Jesus in it … I am a Christian myself, but I know that it’s just a bit of humor, so I try to take it that way. If we can’t laugh, we’re doomed! :)
Note: I had some problem with WordPress altering the embed code for the videos, so I just removed the embedded videos and left the links.
Top 10 Funniest YouTube Videos (not in order)
1. Great First Dance at a Wedding. I suggested to my wife that we do a dance like this at our upcoming church wedding (we were only married civilly). She just looked at me like I was crazy.
2. Dad at Comedy Barn. The comedian in this clip isn’t that funny, and for the first couple minutes of this video, you’ll wonder why the three audience members called up on stage are all laughing. It’s only when the microphone is put in front of the laughing man in the middle that you understand why this video is so funny. It gets old after a minute or two of hilarity, though.
3. Jesus - I Will Survive. OK, again, please don’t take offense with this one. It’s just silly and fun.
4. Grimace. Maybe not hilarious, but man, I wish I could do this!
5. Crazy Frog Brothers. These boys can’t dance, but what’s funny is how committed they are to this video. The tall one in the back is a comic genius.
6. Chinese Backstreet Boys. The Two Chinese Boys are my all-time favorites. They’ve got a few other excellent ones too, including this incredible one of a Chinese song. The guy on the left is a genius. Notice the friends in the background, playing on the computer, completely oblivious to the act behind them.
7. Crazy Japanese Game Show. The Japanese have insane game shows. This one is filmed with a group of guys in a public library … the rules are simple … they draw cards, and the one who draws the card with an “X” on it gets a crazy and humiliating penalty. The one with the old man near the end is the best.
8. Hahahaha. I don’t know about you, but this kid cracks me up.
9. Urban Ninja. Not so much hilarious as just funny to think of a guy running through a city doing these things. He’s pretty awesome.
10. Evolution of Dance. This guy is cool. Brought back some memories.

Thanks for that :)

I love the variety of YouTube. :)
My favorite vid ever on there is from A Bit of Fry & Laurie, where Hugh Laurie sings “Hey Jude” in an Alvin and the Chipmunks voice. Cheers me up whenever I’m down. It’s a great contrast to House, MD.

Perfect timing Leo! You know whens the right time for the right post and I definitely needed a good laugh.
I am surprised because I actually haven’t seen some of these videos. Those videos really put a smile on my face especially the Chinese song in #6 because I listen to that song a lot but they made it so much better xD

Leo,
We do Parkour around here, and it’s alot of fun. It’s a bit different than the “urban ninja” video you linked…all he is doing is acrobatics.
The wikipedia article on Parkour can explain most of everything. :)
Here are a couple videos of us.

This is odd…it isn’t in keeping with the theme of Zen Habits. Why are you resorting to link-bait?

Leo, I just sent a friend who just got married that wedding dance video and she’s so depressed she didn’t think of it first…
For absolutely wacky political satire, I love Charlie Waldron’s videos…

Urban Ninja is a style that is called free running or parkour.

There are some great videos out there.

Thanks for the great responses, guys … glad you liked some of these, and thanks for sharing more of your favorites!
@Abhijit: Well, I was just watching a couple of the videos and cracking up … and I thought I’d share it with you guys, just for fun. Like I said, I just wanted to put a smile on your face.
I wasn’t trying for linkbait, though there’s nothing wrong with a little linkbait once in awhile. Anyway, if I was going for linkbait, it sure didn’t work … while some of my readers seem to love this post, it’s definitely not one of my more popular ones on digg or anything. :)

Thank you for posting some funny videos. I think your heart is in the right place, but I’m sorry — the Jesus video is a little more offensive than I expected.
The video portrays Jesus as a man with a woman’s voice wearing a diaper and getting run over by a truck.
Try to look at it this way. Would you find funny a video that publicly portrayed a man you respect and love, such as your grandfather, your father, or your favorite college professor, with a woman’s voice and in a diaper? Probably not. And this is not a man, but God we are talking about. Even those who are not Christian would normally respect that. I would not personally link to a video mocking any religion.
I am still a fan of your great ideas — just not this particular video link.

Haha! Great videos, Leo. Thanks for posting these. I’ve seen a couple before, but probably wouldn’t have seen the rest without this post.

Thanks so much for posting these! My hubby and I nearly wet ourselves the first time we saw #7 but we couldn’t find it again no matter what searches we tried!
We also love this one (not funny, just so entertaining that we can’t help watching it over and over):

Sorry, not sure how to do linkage here. Also, the original version is great, but we loved that Natalie joined in with him on this one.

My favorite Youtube video is not a video, but a director.
Just search for keyword “Smosh”.

Snowball, the dancing cockatoo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j_fxs8mUcQ
The dancing itself is great, but the fact that he kicks it up a notch when the music changes intensity just makes it comedy gold :)

I just recently discovered Crazy Frog brothers myself. Do your readers know that it came from another silly youtube video called Crazy Frog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkHm8uUuT0o)? Also, you’ve got to check out Crazy Frog Brothers, 15 years later. I prefer the side-by-side clips shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bj570ZqJEM. Scary!
