To create buzz as it nears submission deadlines, The Webby Awards announced recently the “Top 12 Most Influential Online Videos of All Times.” Our guess is that they were shooting for 12, but got into a heated debate and decided to toss two more in there.
- JibJab’s “This Land”: A moment we’ll never forget. Jim Meskimen is the voice of almost everyone in these JibJabs. His demo site is worth a visit.
- Zidane Headbut: Frequently immitated.
- Chronicles of Narnia (Lazy Sunday): It’s on the NBC site, so you’ll need about 2 minutes for the page to load and another for the ad to pass. I recommend a pee break.
- Star Wars Kid: In the tradition of Numa Numa.
You know what I’d REALLY like to see a list of Kevin? I’d like to see The Top 12 Most Profitable Videos for Advertisers or The 12 Videos That Made The Most Money For Their Creators. I’d love to see that. I really really really would.
I’d be willing to bet a large sum of money that these two lists would not include all of the same videos and also be very different from the 12 Most Influential list.
Know what I’m saying?
hmm… no numa numa guy? I remember liking jibjab and linking that everywhere, all the others, influential? I guess, these all seem so long ago now.
