Inquisition of the Week: YouTube Tuesday

August 13, 2007 by Dave

youtubemontage-copy.jpgLast week, with vacation on the brain, Bartoneus asked how you like to spend your vacation time. Most of you said that you would hibernate, which I suppose is cheaper than all the other options, unless you mean actually go somewhere to hibernate. Second place went to those of you who love roller coasters and amusement parks, where it is very difficult to sleep.

Over a year ago, I started posting a featured YouTube once every week related to the other content of our site. So far, I haven’t missed a day, though there were definitely some weeks that were pretty difficult to find one, and some weeks are stronger than others. The very first “official” one is the not very well received Olaf LotR voiceover, though I have gone back and added some earlier posts as containing YouTubes. (And while I try to stick to YouTubes because its embedded player gives me the least problems, I do include other types occasionally, including one Google Video that was nominated.)

So looking back on all the ones featured, I wanted to find out which one was the best YouTube of the year. I asked the staff which ones were their favorites, and looked back on the ones that got the most favorable comments. Taking both of those into account, I narrowed it down to five.

[poll id=”12″]

If you ever find a YouTube or other embeddable video that you find worthy, please send it to me. And hope you’ve enjoyed this year of YouTubes.

    Oh man you left out the best ones… even though theyve been taken off Youtube. Movies in 15 seconds. Return of the Jedi one had me laughing for WEEKS

    Yeah, those movies in 5 seconds were genius, and I had no idea until you just said something that he pulled all his videos from YouTube.
    As for the selection, there was that one (and a few others) that I thought were hilarious but no one spoke up for. These were the five that seemed to be the best overall well received.

    I saw college saga before I knew about this place…but I took the time to give them all a fair chance…it still prevails in my mind…

    I still think mine’s the best…but I suppose planning would’ve helped the quality and thus the receival of it…
