Inc. purchased
YouTube for $1.65 billion and today it stands as the 4th most
visited website in the world. It is
an entertaining site and advertising
juggernaut. Some of the videos are extremely creative, educational,
and
amazing. I have collected a list of 20 of the most popular, funny, and
incredible YouTube
videos ever created.
Lynea Lattanxio

located four hours north of Los Angeles, California.

piece of art.
18. Pounding a Nail While Juggling Hammers

decides to juggle three hammers. While he is jugging he pounds a nail
into the ceiling with the hammers
that he is juggling. It is an amazing trick and
must watch video.
17. Frozen Grand Central Prank
Improv Everywhere is an organization and television program. The group
performs acting and situational improv on a mass scale. In this clip they
decide to gather a couple hundred members and have them act completely still
for five minutes in the middle of Grand Central Station. It causes a bit of a
ruckus, as others do not understand what is happening.
16. Learning to Fly
Loïc
Jean-Albert grew up on the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean. He is a
professional parachuter and
extreme athlete. He has been involved with testing
and developing a winged suit. In

will forever be known as the “Flying Dude.”

to go on a world tour of 42 countries in 14 months. He filmed
himself dancing in all 42 countries
and this is his video. The different
ethnicities, cultures, and scenery are highly interesting.
This video
discusses the SawStop technology that was developed to prevent
people from cutting their fingers off with an electrical
saw. The new model has
a sensor that will immediately stop the saw if it records any levels of electrical
conductivity. A salty wet finger is highly conductive and the machine will stop
before your finger
is cut at all.
This shadow
puppet show is set to Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful
World. The performer starts by impersonating
Armstrong himself. It is a
remarkable show and incredible what you can create with shadow puppets.

breakdancer’s in the world. His moves are incredible and he is so smooth
in
his delivery. This clip features him on the Ellen Show. Here is a link to his
official website.
11. "Am I Invisible" Prank

had two twins opposite each other mimicking each other’s actions. This gave the

videos. He displays some
incredible tricks.
9. Amazing French BeatBoxer
This man is auditioning for a talent show in France and decides to wow the judges with
his

ever heard.
He manages to get two and three separate beats going at the same time.
8. Incredible Ping-Pong Ball Shots
This video has the official title of Billy’s Balls 2 and features Billy making some
incredible
ping-pong ball shots. He makes sure to act cool and non-surprised when
draining a shot, although it
probably took him months to complete this video.
7. What You Talkin' About Willis
The facial expression that this baby displays is cute and hilarious. I think he
has a future
in acting because his facial cues are great.

It gives some great visual effects.

surrounding
religion, ethnicity, poverty, and more.
