An Internet meme is a catch phrase or concept that spreads quickly from
person to person through computer networking. While I feel that certain memes are just erroneous and can be quite annoying at times. Some of these videos are pretty funny and entertaining. I have developed
a list with some of my favorite internet videos that have become extremely popular on many social networking sites.
I am always on the look out for funny and amazing videos, so be sure to let me know of some omissions.

8.
Little Mac
Have you ever wondered about the heartache that Little Mac of Mike Tyson’s Punch
Out goes through after every loss?This man is so close to the title only to be defeated by Bald Bull,
Soda Popinski, Super Macho Man, or Tyson himself.Mac is then pushed back to the first stage of training.This advertisement for the new Punch Out game is entertaining.
7. The Simpsons New Title
Sequence
Earlier this
year, The Simpsons changed their opening title sequence.After 19 years with the infamous opening credits,
they felt it was time for a slight change.Basically, the creators just made the clip a bit longer and
added in many more Simpson’s characters.You decide if you like it better then the original.
6. David After the Dentist
David is a 7-year-old kid who had to be put under in order
to get some mouth surgery.This is normal procedure and immediately following the operation you can feel
a bit woozy.In David’s case, he got messed up.This is a funny clip and be sure
to remember that David only felt like this for a short amount of time before crashing and waking up a bit more refreshed.
5. Mythbusters Vaporize
a Car with a Rocket Sled
Mythbusters
is a good show that often shows destruction.They have become famous for destroying cars in a creative
manner.In this episode they decide to take a rocket filled sled and ram it into a car at 700
mph.It is a pretty amazing spectacle.The crew is even surprised at what they did.

singing Ben E. King’s classic tune Stand By Me.The majority of the artists are street performers.The video travels around the world to get various interpretations of the song from different cultures.It is a touching scene and truly remarkable to see that so many people know and love Stand By Me.
2. 2 Pictures - 2 Kinds
of Goodbye
I found this extremely
touching and sad, so I had to add it to the list. It is a set of pictures and not a video, but is extremely
powerful. It lets people know just how real war is.It is also a tribute to all fallen soldiers,
come home quickly.
You Can’t Fake This
Stuff
1. We Didn’t Stop
the Flame War
Set to the music of Billy
Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire, this video pokes fun at some of the most outrageous postings people have left
on Digg.With a clear satirical undertone the creators tackle the issue of racism on the internet.
