In following up the list of my favorite viral videos, here are some YouTube videos which I think show some incredible skills. They’re not “virally popular” but they probably should be!
Piano Playing Juggler
Can Throwing
Ball Throwing
Dice Stacking
David Belle demonstrating Parkour
Face Catching Raybans
I was re-watching Weezer’s Pork and Beans video and am still impressed by the number of outstanding viral videos they managed to squeeze into it. In tribute to the YouTube stars, here’s a summary of my favorites:
Canon Rock by Funtwo
Diet Coke + Mentos by EepyBird
Numa Numa by Gary Brolsma
Evolution of Dance by Judson Laipply
Kung Fu Audition Gone Wrong by Afro Ninja

I was listening to an 80’s radio station today, and heard Feargal Sharkey’s “A Good Heart” (a classic song from the 80’s).
That was when I noticed that every single line from that song was a cliche:
Which made me wonder, whether this song was so good that every line of it entered popular culture and became cliches we now use? Or did the guy just rip off every cliche in the book, to create this this song? Judge for yourself…
