The Best Viral Videos Of 2008: A Retrospective
If you were able to make it to the Gummy Awards on Monday night, then you saw our tribute to the best viral videos of the year. Now, this is comprehensive but in no way complete, because that would be exhausting. So there were plenty of great videos out there that didn't make it into this montage. But even without Drunk History or the Zach Galafianakis Absolut Vodka Ads, without Baby Preacher, Lil' Bill O'Reilly, or the kids rapping about the election to T.I.'s "Whatever You Like," and probably a dozen other honorable mentions, I feel confident that you will still find this to be a captivating, thorough, and most of all HEARTBREAKING tribute to this year in internet.
Top that, 2009. Top THAT!

THIS IS CRAZY HOW YOU GOING TO MAKE A MONTAGE OF THE BEST OF 2008 AND NOT PUT ME IN IT I'M SO MAD I AM POUNDING THIS KEYBOARD WITH MY FINGERS AS I TYPE. EVERYONE KNOWS KANYE THE BEST IN THE GAME NO MATTER WHAT GAME IT IS AND IT'S JUST FRUSTRATING TO WORK SO HARD AS AN ARTIST TO TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN YOUR FANS HEARTS BUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS JUST DISGUSTING. JESSICA ALBA IS AN AMERICAN ACTRESS. MODERN SOFAS.
