00:00 Hey Chira and Bart and this is our 5th annual top viral videos and creators of the year
00:04 2016 edition with Tubular Labs.
00:11 Video brand of the year goes to Unilad.
00:13 What does that mean?
00:14 One boy?
00:15 They had 4,929 videos uploaded this year.
00:20 22.6 billion views.
00:22 This was one of their top videos with 168 million views.
00:26 The top video is of this chick Paige Jenning who's basically become a professional faller.
00:30 Fail faller.
00:31 Right?
00:32 She really falls hard.
00:33 She knows how to fall.
00:34 I mean.
00:35 Congrats Paige.
00:36 Kind of messed up really.
00:37 She's even started to do fall in collab videos and here's one with her and Danny Duncan.
00:46 Comedy sketch of the year goes to SNL's undercover boss Starkiller Bass.
00:49 Are you not a Star Wars fan?
00:51 I'm not a fan of the new one.
00:53 Did I see it?
00:54 Yes we saw it together.
00:55 You get so caught up in restoring the galaxy to its rightful state that you miss what's
01:00 going on behind the scenes.
01:02 This got almost 40 million views and of course it was huge because of the Star Wars release.
01:06 Well obviously.
01:07 And Adam Driver who was pretty much the breakout star.
01:10 Yeah.
01:11 Movie trailer of the year goes to Suicide Squad.
01:13 Not too surprised here because this was one of the most talked about movies of the year.
01:16 78 million cross platform views.
01:19 And while the trailer got a ton of views, it only got 26% on Rotten Tomatoes.
01:23 I'd rather watch a movie about a hog or something.
01:25 Facebook live video.
01:27 Chewbacca mom.
01:28 I bet you didn't even know what the title of the video was called because you just know
01:31 her as Chewbacca mom.
01:33 The title of the video was called It's the Simple Joys in Life.
01:37 Wow.
01:38 Crazy viral.
01:39 162 million views.
01:50 Her name is Candace Payne.
01:51 She's a mom.
01:52 And the video is of her basically buying this Chewbacca mask and putting it on for her birthday
01:57 just for the joy, the pure joy that comes from that.
02:00 She really liked it.
02:01 Why do you think people love Chewbacca mom?
02:03 Because she laughed a lot.
02:04 So according to Forbes, the mask sold out from every online retailer.
02:09 Which shows the power.
02:10 I mean Facebook was happy.
02:11 Maybe Facebook just bought them all.
02:13 After the video got posted, it went viral.
02:15 She was on every show.
02:17 Good Morning America.
02:18 Of course.
02:19 Late Late Show.
02:20 With J.J. Abrams himself.
02:22 Wow.
02:23 He showed up just to meet her.
02:24 Most popular children's content on YouTube.
02:26 Huge egg surprise toy challenge.
02:28 Oh you found one?
02:29 Nine?
02:30 Where else?
02:31 What else?
02:32 We were both surprised that this video got 400 million views.
02:37 That's really.
02:38 It's like bigger than some of the movie trailers this year.
02:40 It's bigger than any of the movie trailers.
02:42 And it's just a kid reviewing and opening up toys.
02:46 That's what people want to see.
02:47 You know what that means Bart?
02:48 What?
02:49 Time to make some kids.
02:50 This was on Ryan Toy Review Channel.
02:57 He has over 5 million subs and 8.5 billion views.
03:01 And this is what I like.
03:02 Most of the toys he reviews are donated to Goodwill or other children's charities.
03:06 Yeah he doesn't need them.
03:07 They've done so well that the family is now starting a family toy review channel.
03:10 We're excited to launch a new channel called Ryan Family Review.
03:16 Yay!
03:17 Top Facebook page star of the year goes to Cristiano Ronaldo.
03:23 He has over 250 million followers everywhere.
03:26 And on Facebook over 118 million.
03:28 Out of his 110 Facebook videos they've all garnered over 400 million views.
03:32 Jennifer Garner?
03:33 His top video has over 11 million views is of him launching his CR7 Chapter 3 shoes.
03:38 It's basically a Snapchat story that he uploaded to Facebook.
03:40 His Facebook video of the year goes to Logan Paul for his video called Best Friends.
03:54 It's like a heartwarming video.
03:55 It stars Logan Paul and Dwarf Mamba.
03:58 Who's that?
03:59 His friend.
04:00 Logan is a former state champion wrestler who became a Vine star and who's now big on
04:04 Facebook, Instagram and just everywhere.
04:07 This was smart because at the end it did say share with your best friends.
04:09 So it's something that one you can connect with.
04:11 It was very heartwarming.
04:12 It was a very sweet cute video and it was well done.
04:14 News moment of the year goes to Trump supporters are as dumb as you think.
04:19 This video was from the Daily Show with Trevor Noah and it features correspondent Jordan
04:23 Klepper interviewing Trump supporters at a rally.
04:26 People have crazy ideas.
04:28 They think Hillary Clinton has a body double.
04:30 I printed out two identical photos to see if they could see what we couldn't.
04:34 Which one's the body double?
04:35 Say that one.
04:36 Yeah, I can see where they're going with that.
04:39 Oh Bart, don't feed the trolls.
04:41 This was from the Daily Show with Trevor Noah but it was also shared on Occupy Democrats
04:44 where it got a ton of views.
04:45 Vlogger video of the year goes to Disney Princess Pool Party.
04:50 This isn't a traditional vlog per se, but Rachel Levin whose channel this is started
04:53 out as a beauty vlogger and has since transitioned into also more I would say sketches and...
05:00 It's all about Disney.
05:01 Yeah, scripted videos.
05:03 RCL Beauty has over 10 million subs.
05:06 And this isn't her first Disney Princess squad video.
05:08 She's also done Disney Princess Slumber Party, Date Night, Back to School Halloween Party
05:12 and Christmas.
05:13 They all have millions of views so, Bart we're doing something wrong.
05:17 You have a Disney Princess Slumber Party with me, Bart.
05:19 We don't have any Disney Princess outfits.
05:21 Well it's time to buy some.
05:24 It's been a year filled with challenges.
05:29 Yeah.
05:30 Like viral video challenges.
05:31 Lots of challenges.
05:32 And this one won them all.
05:34 The mannequin challenge.
05:35 Yeah.
05:36 In the last 90 days there have been over 290,000 mannequin challenge videos uploaded equaling
05:42 4.3 billion views.
05:44 Holy crap.
05:45 And the top one goes to dogs win the mannequin challenge.
05:48 How do dogs stay still?
05:49 Let's see.
05:50 Oh, that was it.
05:51 How is that possible?
05:52 Look at his eyes.
05:53 How'd they make the dog do that?
05:54 How is it so still?
05:55 This has to be one of my favorites from this list.
06:09 Yeah, by far the best one.
06:11 The dog's owner Jason Erickson made it with Snapchat and then it was posted to Unilag.
06:15 I see.
06:16 Music video of the year goes to Fifth Harmony.
06:18 Work, work, work, work.
06:19 This music video got 1.2 billion views.
06:21 1.2 billion.
06:22 That's because they're working it.
06:23 Work, work, work, work.
06:28 I like the song.
06:29 I like the video.
06:31 Ty Dolla Sign was good.
06:32 This is the lead single from the group's second studio album.
06:35 Work From Home also became the first top five single in the country by a girl group in 10
06:39 years.
06:40 Prank video of the year goes to Logan Paul Pokemon Go.
06:43 Logan goes to Central Park in New York at the time when Pokemon Go was at its peak and
06:46 yells the name of a rare Pokemon, Dragonite, that is not there and people go crazy all
06:51 running towards him.
06:52 That area and him.
06:53 Dragonite.
06:54 Dragonite.
06:55 This one's your favorite.
07:04 Music video parody of the year goes to U-Bart.
07:07 This got 18.9 million views.
07:09 It's actually got 19 million now.
07:11 This got 19 million views already.
07:13 So even though he's kind of a douche, I wrote him this pretty song but he's so dumb.
07:19 And guess what?
07:20 Our cameraman was in it too.
07:21 It's me.
07:22 It's me.
07:23 You're dead.
07:24 I need more money.
07:25 It's the first video we shot of 2016.
07:28 Video is about how Justin Bieber touches himself constantly because Selena won't sleep with
07:34 him anymore so he has to love himself.
07:37 Just do the Bieber impression already, Bart.
07:40 Fine.
07:41 It's just so good.
07:44 That's it.
07:45 Well congrats again.
07:46 Most discussed YouTube topic of the year again is Minecraft.
07:49 Very cool.
07:50 2.2 million videos, 43 billion views, 2.6 million creators making those videos.
07:57 Well that's crazy.
07:58 Congratulations to Tom who invented Minecraft?
08:01 His name is probably Tom.
08:02 Congrats Tom.
08:03 Cover of the year goes to Pink covering Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time.
08:16 I remember that song.
08:17 That's our song, Bart.
08:18 It is?
08:19 While performing at Cyndi Lauper's Home for the Holidays benefit show, Pink decided to
08:23 pay homage to the singer and cover her song.
08:25 One of my favorite categories, wedding proposal of the year.
08:29 And this one's a simple title, Will You Marry Me?
08:31 That makes sense for a wedding proposal video.
08:33 One man filmed his girlfriend over the years and then used that for a proposal which he
08:37 then showed to all their friends during a movie premiere that he created.
08:42 Wow.
08:43 That's very cute of him.
08:44 Right?
08:45 Yeah.
08:46 Kind of raises the bar.
08:47 The winner of the year goes to PewDiePie.
08:49 79 million cross platform followers.
08:51 He just hit 50 million subscribers on YouTube.
08:54 He pranked the entire world saying that he was going to delete his channel.
08:58 Your channel is dying.
08:59 Just pull the PR stunt.
09:01 You're fine again.
09:02 2016 he did over 3,000 YouTube videos, 14.3 billion views.
09:07 That's like nine a day.
09:08 His most viewed video was of him from 2013 and it's a montage of his gameplay.
09:15 There you have it.
