Do you remember the first time your mom sent you something to watch on the "YouTubes"? That's kind of how I felt watching Friday's episode of The Tyra Banks Show entitled, 'YouTube Kids'.

This isn't the first time Tyra (or her producer, more accurately) has wandered into YouTube land, bringing these previously pixelated fameballs to the small screen -- her segment "YouTube Made Me Famous" featured many cyberstars, as well.

See some of the best clips from the shows below, if only because Tyra manages to create new YouTube classics by inserting herself into the ones that originally went viral. I'm telling you, this woman is SMART.

  • Tyra attempts to interact with Lucas Cruikshank's Internet alter-ego (and YouTube sensation) Fred (yes, that Fred).
  • Sam (the CuppyCake Boy)'s YouTube stardom came when his sister posted a video of him singing 'The Honeybunches Song.' He is 9 years-old and has a kidney disease that keeps him on steroids -- which cause the chubby cheeks the interweb loves so much. Tyra manages to turn an interview with Sam into a video of them singing the song together, where she proceeds to put a little awkward Vogue-ing into the performance.
  • Matt Harding teaches Tyra how to dance. "The Tyra Show, New York" probably won't make his next video, sorry Ty Ty.
  • Since daytime TV is all about getting revenge on loved ones, Tyra allows the star of the infamous hulahooping Wii clip (called "Why Every Guy Should Buy Their Girlfriend a Wii Fit") to seek retribution for being secretly filmed by filming her boyfriend with his pants down.
  • AND WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR: Tyra gathers the all-stars of the 'Single Ladies' craze and makes them dance! We love Cubby and all, but WHERE IS SHANE MERCADO? Seriously, Tyra. If you're gonna do it, do it right.
