It has been the year of the YouTube, and we at The DL have wasted just as much time as the rest of you, watching the mostly entertaining, often frightening and always time-sucking content that flows in pixelated glory from the YouTube servers. What would media scholar Marshall McLuhan say about this if he were alive today? Probably something like, "Hey, have you seen that video of the monkey peeing in its mouth?"
So, after the jump, it is our great pleasure to bring you our Top 50 YouTube Videos of 2006. And if you don't like our picks, let us know yours.
50. Old Lady Punch
What better way to end a Parent Teacher Conference than socking good ol' Mrs. Sassafras in the kisser?
49. Brandon Davis, 'Firecrotch'
Brandon Davis got all sweaty and drunk, and decided to go on a tirade about Lindsay Lohan's woowoo. Luckily, TMZ was there to capture it all on video. (How is TMZ everywhere? Seriously.)
48. Rogue Helicopter Pilot
A seriously troubled man in a sporty turtleneck rants to the Charlotte city council about a "rogue helicopter pilot" and other pressing issues. This display of unapologetic dementia is a refreshing break from our comparably buttoned-up lives.
45. Zidane Headbutt Spoof
The infamous World Cup head butt spawned a film festival's worth of hilarious spoofs.
More Zidane spoofs: Flaming head butt, Nintendo World Cup Version and the Head Butt mix.
44. Korean Girls Karaoke Dancing
We can't speak Korean. We can't sing Korean. But we can enjoy two Korean girls doing some fantastic choreographed karaoke.
43. Titanic: The Sequel
Jack's Back! This mash-up trailer makes the cringe-worthy Celine Dion entertaining for once... and only once.
42. Faith Hill Is Pissed
You'd be pissed too if you lost to Carrie Underwood at anything, even if it was just Tic-Tac-Toe.
41. Office Space: Recut
When the movie 'Office Space' was first released it was scary good. This recut is just scary.
40. Kittens Falling Asleep
Kittens falling asleep have had a great year on the internet! Here is one of the cutest.
Those aren't the only kittens falling asleep on YouTube this year. How about these guys.
39. Smash My PS3
You know how you went to the toy store to buy your son or daughter a PS3 for the holiday, and the store told you that they were sold out? Well, this dude smashed your kid's holiday dreams and taped it.
38. David Hasselhoff 'Hooked On a Feeling'
Don't "Hassel the Hoff," especially when he's 'Hooked on a Feeling.'
37. Al Roker Gets Blown Over
Some people think Al Roker isn't as funny now that he's lost the weight. Here's proof in the fat-free pudding that he's still got it!
36. Wilford Brimley's Beetix Extravaganza
Experience Wilford Brimley the way he was meant to be.
35. Kid Scared By Game
You have to prepare your young for the cruel world at a very early age.
34. CNN Kyra Phillips Leaves Mic On
Lavalier mics were created specifically for catching any self-respecting CNN news anchor talking smack.
33. Average Joe Mistaken As Expert On Live News
You wake up in the morning. You go take out the trash. You meet a television news producer. You end up being mistaken as an expert on television. Happens everyday.
32. The Extreme Mentos and Diet Coke Experiments
Science is awesome.... and so is Diet Coke. (Note: Diet Coke, please send us free product.)
31. Danny Devito Drunk on 'The View'
The last seven Limoncello's will do in just about anybody. Even Danny Devito. We don't really think that Danny is all that drunk in this video, just mildly retarded.
30. Igor, the Four-year-old Drummer
Kittens falling asleep are cute, but are they amazingly talented? Not really. That's why this 4-year-old took YouTube by storm.
29. Head On Commercial Parody
This guy took the most annoying commercial of all time to a whole new level of awesome.
28. Guiness World Record for Most Shirts Worn at One Time
That's a lot of shirts.
27. Average Homeboy
Eminem, Vanilla Ice, Snow and this guy should all form a white rap supergroup and call it 'White Out.'
26. Weird Al, 'White & Nerdy'
Weird Al is back, and this time he means business.
25. Aleksey Vayner's Resume
The most amazingly earnest display of assheadedness ever. This man makes Patrick Bateman look modest. Or maybe we are all just a little jealous of his self-confidence.
24. Little Baby Laughing
You have no soul if you don't just find this video adorable. Well, maybe you have a soul, but we don't like you.
23. Real Life 'The Simpsons' Intro
Strangely, the actors in this video haven't aged in 17 years either.
22. Ashlee Simpson Drunk in McDonalds
If this is how you sound, you better lipsync.
21. Where the Hell Is Matt?
Matt dances a fancy jig all around the world, and enjoyed every second of it. Slap it all together with a piece of world music, and it kinda brings a little tear to our collective eye.
20. Gay Weatherman Gets Scared
Ok, we are just assuming that he is gay.
19. Some Woman Takes a Pic of Herself Everyday for 3 Years
Glasses on. Glasses off. Short hair. Long hair. 3 years later, she's still a nerd. And so are we.
Also, someone named Ben did a very funny parody of the video. And, this other dude Noah took a photo of himself everyday for six years.
18. Good Day, Mr. Kubrick...
This man has some serious acting chops. One can only imagine how good 'Full Metal Jacket' would have been if Kubrick picked him for the film.
17. The Spirit of Truth
What happens when you take Ja Rule and mix him with Jimmy Swaggart? You get this guy!
16. Diddy Taking a Pee
Even celebrities pee. Fascinating.
More Diddy hijinks on Diddy TV.
15. Michael Richards Racist
Next, we'll find out Newman is the head of the underground Nazi movement.
14. Seinfeld: The Lost Episode
This episode is about something.... something real bad.... something really bad.
13. Jesus Will Survive
Nothing says good times better than Jesus Christ singing 'I Will Survive.'
11. Brokeback to the Future
'You don't go back to the future to fish!'
10. Britney Spears is Stoned
Video evidence that you should never smoke weed, watch 'Back to the Future' and eat fast food with Kevin Federline.
9. David Hasselhoff 'Jump in My Car'
Hasselhoff isn't playing Michael Knight anymore, but he is still using KITT to pick up girls.
8. Mr. Pregnant, 'Manboobs'
When you've got 'titties like a woman,' you have to make a video about them.
7. Ok Go, On Treadmills
Look for Ok Go to do their next video using Thighmasters.
6. Shining Remix
REDRUM is GENIUS spelled backwards.
5. Evolution of Dance
Who knew that the single most-viewed YouTube video of all time is also proof that white guys can dance.... or not.
4. Nintendo 64!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These kids are learning the good ol' American value of wanting shit.
3. Dick in a Box
When you open your gifts this holiday season, don't be surprised if there's an average sized manstick staring back at you.

47. The Biff Question Song
Biff Tannen, aka Tom F. Wilson, decided to take a break from the 'I Love' decade marathons on VH-1 long enough to put together a catchy little ditty about the trials and tribulations of his celebrity.

46. Crazy Furniture Commercial
If we are ever in need of an Ottoman in Cleveland, we know who to turn to. His name is Mark, and we can count on him!
