the citizens of Toronto the dead raccoon
quickly became known as Conrad while
carrying Torontonians erected a memorial
with flowers and candles by his lifeless
body a vigil was held for the fallen
furry friend and thousands tweeted to

week and spawning memes and parody
videos damsel fuck get it again with the

thing to say
we don’t know but you’re still laughing
damn Ellie this is been the best night
ever we’ve seen so many celebrities
thank you so much for sending us out
here he’s number seven the left shark
every detail of the Super Bowl halftime
show is closely watched just ask Janet
Jackson so when Katy Perry performed at
the 2015 Super Bowl fans everywhere
couldn’t help but notice that the
dancing shark to the left of Perry
seemed to be dancing to the beat of a
different drummer memes broke out almost
instantly as people mocked the sharks
awkward freestyle because who doesn’t
love a freestyling shark the man behind
the costume was Katy Perry’s longtime
backup dancer Bryan gah and according to
Perry’s team all of the left sharks
dance moves were intentional I think my
mom texted me about it um that’s when I
was like you made well mom well my mom
knows what left shark is okay although
considering how subtle the sharks
off-tempo moves were it is still up for
debate Katy Perry and I were pretty
close before that halftime show
unfortunately that’s over now number 6 I
like turtles
and once Jonathan became famous we just
had to track him down kids say the
darndest things
well at least Jonathan where the zombie
kid who likes turtles does zombies when
a news reporter interviewed Jonathan
about what he thought of his zombie
painted face the boy replied with a
straight faced non sequitur I like
turtles nothing more just I like turtles
maybe we loved the sheer randomness of
his answer or perhaps it was the
awkwardness of the reporter who didn’t
know what to ask as a follow-up question
and
just walked away I was nervous yeah and
I’d even know what to say but fear not
the internet knew how to respond to
Jonathan with memes about turtles and
video parodies breaking out everywhere
well how’s it look it’s great you look
like a lizard I like turtles okay number
five what are those
officer I got one question for you oddly
enough this is the second entry on our
list that involves someone freaking out
over a pair of shoes in this short video
instagram user brandon Moore asks a
police officer what are those while
pointing the camera to the officers
shoes were though the video was quickly
reposted onto vine and within a few
weeks it had received over 200,000 views
and had numerous parodies myself and you
know I don’t like the phrase what are
those quickly became an urban dictionary
term meaning someone without shoe gang
what is it about this video that made us
laugh so much was it the fact that he
was mocking a police officers Footwear
whatever it was the world loved it
[Applause]
number four deez nutz welding the great
is here who deez nutz what’s so funny
about this video clip deez nutz ah daddy
the video sensation with over 29 million
views is a brief phone conversation
between two guys that’s it
that’s unkind in the mail today Deez
Nuts ha daddy
ha so what made this so funny are we
laughing with him or at him are we
enjoying this guy’s supreme confidence
at nailing such a lame joke or his
sincerity and enjoying such a lame joke
we may never know what’s it like to be
the official face of deez nutz
that’s my family I always like to say
hot it’s good it’s good it never gets
old
perhaps some questions are best left
unanswered according to urban dictionary
deez nutz is something you say to annoy
or frustrate apparently it’s also
something you say to make people laugh
and watch your video over and over again
is it ok if I call you mr. deez mr. deez
these does number 3 the pizza rat in New
York City pizza and subway rats are
famous so we guess it’s no surprise that
the New York Pizza rap video became an
instant viral hit
[Music]
[Applause]
it’s Bond memes a popular Halloween
costume and almost 10 million views on
YouTube some would say the pizza rat
became a symbol of what it takes to make
it in New York City people admired the
rats resourcefulness and persistence
dragging a slice of pizza twice as big
as himself down the subway stairs in the
wee hours of the night we’re talking
about a low-down pizza-stealing rat
however others argued that it also
showcased just how gross the New York
City subway system is that’s it
another rat crack right well I got
feelings too you know either way people
cared
in fact they cared so much that the
video even made it onto various media
outlets such as The Late Show with
Stephen Colbert if you keep an eye
peeled you’ll often spot the calzone
pigeon the pasta possum and increasingly
the bagel with schmear coyote number 2
Alex from Target you’ve got to be
grateful for this opportunity oh yeah
I’m so grateful people love looking at
pictures of good-looking people that’s
why we have models Alex was a teenage
boy working at Target checkout counter
in Texas when a teenage girl found him
attractive took a picture of him and
posted it on Twitter another girl saw
the photo and posted it on tumblr that’s
pretty much all it took for girls
everywhere to fall in love with Alex
from Target Alex went from having 144
Twitter followers to over 300,000 in
just 24 hours
other people have become famous for
their appearance such as the
ridiculously photogenic guy but he was
in the middle of a race Alex was just a
guy doing his job and maybe that’s what
makes his story special do you sing you
have any other talent a cadet I mean I
can apparently bag groceries pretty well
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
as far as I’m concerned it’s really the
trial of the century ladies and
gentlemen today the IKEA monkey trial
began in Ontario
number one the dress I know there are
people out there that say they see blue
and black and those people are crazy
it all started when a girl posted a
photo of a dress on tumblr and asked
what color it was oddly it only took a
few hours for practically everyone in
the world to have an opinion we need to
move past his idea of correctness the
reality is richer than your person at
one point the dress was so big it was
receiving eleven thousand tweets per
minute with half the world believing the
dress was blue and black and the other
half believing it was white and gold
office productivity dropped families
were torn apart and tempers were
seriously tested we assume and I say
what color is this dress tightness is
well son say that’s white and gold and
so I thought these guys are playing a
trick on me
no one could understand how any of it
was possible even though the dress has
been proven to be blue and black you can
still find people arguing over it
it’s a two-party system you’ll have to
vote for one of us this is a party
system do you agree with our list what
do you think was the weirdest thing to
go viral this is baby Drake on Rihanna
