Charlie bit my finger-- again!
Most popular subjects on YouTube in comedy:
1. Babies
2. Parodies/ The Lonely Island Boys
3. "Absurd" humor... that I find really difficult to watch (i.e. Charlie the Unicorn and The Annoying Orange)
4. Cats
5. Other: embarrassing moments, the Evolution of Dance guy,
Expanding on Babies: babies saying swear words, breakdancing, laughing in an unusual/cute way,
Then there are the skit videos that are posted on YouTube and become astronomically famous, such as the directorial works of Liam Kyle Sullivan. The video "Shoes" jump-started Sullivan's journey as "Kelly," with a distinct voice, interest-set, vocabulary and look that would become immediately associated with these videos. I don't think there was a single girl in my middle school who wasn't singing "these shoes rule. these shoes suck," under the impression that the joke would get funnier the more she said it.
Sullivan went on to make, Muffins, Let Me Borrow that Top, among many others. All these videos amassed over ten million views each.
