Each
year, thousands of videos are posted to the Internet, but only a special few
become popular enough to be viral. Viral videos can be funny, or sweet, or
entertaining. But they all have one thing in common: we can’t get enough of
them! Read on to see our all-time fave viral vids from 2012.
“Call Me
Maybe” cover
This
mock music video caused the pop anthem to skyrocket in popularity. It was
posted by BTR’s Carlos Pena, and
includes appearances from the likes of Justin Bieber, Ashley Tisdale and Selena
Gomez. Not to mention the dance moves are hilarious!
Naval Academy
“Gangnam Style”
While
“Gangnam Style” itself was a viral video, we can’t stop watching the Naval
Academy’s remake of the vid. Hey, we love a cutie in uniform…plus, ya can’t
help but giggle at how ridiculous they get while dancing.
Grumpy Cat
Cat
videos will forever be in our hearts. What better way to waste time on the
internet?! Grumpy Cat is the perfect example of this. All she has to do is make her everyday face of disappointment, and we can’t stop aww-ing.
News Host
On
a slightly more serious note, this video shot up to viral status at the
courageousness of a small-town news correspondent. When a viewer emailed her to
tell her that he thought she should lose weight and be “a better role model,”
she took a stand and taught an important life lesson about bullying.
Team GB “Sexy
and I Know It”
Of
course, we’ve gotta include something from the summer Olympics! We were head
over heels for Team GB’s male divers, especially 18-year-old cutie Tom Daley.
Check out their hilarious remake of the LMFAO hit, “Sexy and I Know It.”
KONY 2012
Since
the release of the video, there’s been a whirlwind of controversy surrounding
the topic and the founders of the project. Regardless of whether you approve of
the charity or not, there is no doubt that this short documentary opened many
people’s eyes to the truth and tragedy of third-world living conditions.
Which
2012 viral vid is your fave? Did we leave anything off our list? Blog about it,
babes.
