Cutline Speaks

It’s…. YouTube Friday!

posted by Erin on March 19, 2010

The Cutline Crew spends, oh, a fair amount of time checking out YouTube videos... both at work and at home. (Some of us even have our own videos!And some of us are so ridiculously addicted to shooting videos that we've made our pets the focus of our Flip Video lenses!) And we also like to share. We share with each other, on Facebook, over IM, through Twitter. I can't even begin to count the number of times a link to a YouTube video has popped up in chat... just this week. And I absolutely love it. We all naturally have our favorites. In fact, I just polled the crew here and asked for some of those favorites. So, in the spirit of sharing, I now present you with the Cutline Crew's favorite YouTube videos... in no particular order, of course.

Perhaps it's a throwback to his youth, or perhaps it's because he has a two-year-old at home, but it turns out that Michael quite likes the Muppets. Might also just be that he just simply appreciates the Muppets on a much deeper level than I do. Now, dear blog readers, I ask you: Which Muppet does Michael most resemble? If you dare to answer, we'll send you a t-shirt!

Over 11 million people agree with Shannon and think this wedding dance is hilar. I was already an adult in 1992 when Sir Mix-A-Lot came out with this classic. Yikes. Anyone want to guess if Shannon knows how to do the Baby Got Back dance? T-shirt!

Megan, who sent this little gem in from poolside in Vegas, tends to fancy this great moment in Duke history. I'm not sure that's really her favorite video or if Vegas is getting to her (confirmed by Megan: "Not only is that my favorite video, it's also my favorite moment ever!"). I'd offer a t-shirt to anyone who could guess which team Megan hopes comes out on top during this mad month of March but, well, that's a no-brainer. Go Kansas! I kid, I kid. That's who *I* am rooting for... we have to keep it exciting, after all!

It doesn't stop there. Another Cutliner taking me back in time, and never one to follow the crowds, is Morgan. She tends to fancy this awesome brat pack mash-up. Rachael loves the little slow loris being tickled in this video. And I think Liz once sent that cute little creature's tickling video around, too.

Did I say that we love YouTube videos? Turns out it's impossible to pick just one. Megan also likes one of my personal favorites, Charlie Bit My Finger (unlike Morgan, we're total lemmings -- more than 170 million people have seen this video!). And a couple of folks who shall remain nameless are LOLing at this very moment at the expense of the poor dear in this grape video. Hey! There are likely 5 million people out there who laughed, too.

Finally, before I sign off, I have to give a shout out to a couple of my favorites: Monster gets an ask kicking and the little boy in the red shirt, who happens to be wearing a white wife beater as he busts a move to the Black Eyed Peas.

What are your favorites? Send 'em our way!
