Just need a little help brainstorming a couple of things. What video's/cartoons are over the internet that are part of the "everyone's seen/heard about it" categorgy?

I have listed:

Matrix Ping Pong
Star Wars Kid
Numa Numa
Diet Coke and Mentos
Ask A Ninja
Evolution of Dance
Homestarrunner
All Your Base
Yatta!
Ultimate Showdown
The Cronic What Cles of Narnia- Lazy Sunday
Magical Trevor

Anybody have any others they think should be added to the list?

Homestarrunner
All Your Base - Never heard of it.
Yatta

I linked them in the first post. Whatever ones you haven't seen, I recommend, with the exception of all your base, to be honest. It's just a geeky reference and isn't really that cool.

The 'Ask A Ninja' is a serious of episodes, like Homestarrunner. Each one is a gem in it's own right.

Those musical flash cartoons where Bush and Kerry sing.

Javert, you've never heard of All Your Base?!?! I thought everyone had heard of that.

Edit: If you can't tell, I think it's hilarious. All the stupid stuff after the game clip isn't that funny, but the actual game was classic.

T, you got most of the ones I've seen. I can't think of any others right now, though I'll ask my sisters who are more up on this sort of thing.

I think not, (note you can find all of these by searching them in youtube or google video)

Tunak Tunak
Russian Street Climbing
The Kerry Bush cartoons are at www.jibjab.com (Wierd Al's got a great parody on American Idol winner Taylor Hicks original song)

More as I can think of them.

The Christmas Lights to Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Homemade Lightsaber duels ("Art of the Saber" is my personal fave)

Badger Badger Badger

Hasn't American Idol Bad-Singer-Guy (what's his name? William Hung, I think?) had a bunch of internet video exposure?

In the martial arts community, there's Sean Scott vs. John Marsh (better known as "Kung Fu vs. MMA")

Aren't ther a bunch of viral commercials, too? (the only one that springs to mind is the VW commerical where the terrorist blows himself up in the VW without damaging the car)

OK Go's "Here it Goes Again." They played it for one day on MTV and because of the internet everyone heard about it.

Leeroy Jenkins.

N64 Kid

The Juggernaut Bitch

Xiao Xiao (Stick Figure fighting)

O RLY?

Save Toby (a website)

MC Hawking

Video Game Pianist (one of my favorites)

ThunderCats outtakes

You might disagree with some of my entrees based on your own personal experiences but these are ones I've seen turn up time and time again.
