2009 Urlies

And the nominees for the Best Viral Video of 2009 are ...

Bizkit the Sleepwalking Dog

Dog Has a Ruff Night

A dog can dream, can't he? But can most dogs, like Bizkit here, run like the wind in his dreams before waking himself up in such a stir that he throws himself into the wall? Probably, but this is the first (and funniest) instance uploaded to YouTube -- which inspired heaps of tributes and remixes.

David After Dentist

Tipsy Kid Delights the Web

When precious little David DeVore emerged from his Florida dentist zonked out of his mind on "medicinals," his dad knew he had to capture the moment forever. After posting the footage that featured his adorable son's wacky non sequiturs ("Is this real life?"), viral fame was accomplished. Bill O'Reilly even got in on the business, taking Papa DeVore to task for exploiting his son. Nevertheless, America loves David in real life.

JK Wedding Entrance Dance

Heartwarming Processional Goes Viral

Hands down the best wedding dance of the year, the JK Wedding Entrance Dance almost (almost) helped revive Chris Brown's career. Featuring an entire wedding party dancing down the aisle, one by one, to Brown's "Forever," the viral sensation grew fast, even getting parodied on "The Office." With friends like these, this wedding was for the history books.

Kittens Inspired by Kittens

Adorable Girl With a Knack for Narration

Although it was uploaded to YouTube in 2008, the adorable video in which Maddie Kelly, a young lass with a penchant for books and kittens, takes us through a picture book featuring frisky felines didn't take off until earlier this year. The hyper pace at which she reads is not only precious, but mildly frightening. Although if we had to trade blogging for babysitting, we know whom we'd want as our first client.

Susan Boyle

'Britain's Got Talent''s Breakout Star

If you don't know who this frumpy Scottish lass is by now, then you're probably not familiar with the Internet. A contestant on the U.K. talent competition "Britain's Got Talent," Susan Boyle wowed the judges and audience alike with her vocal prowess, gaining overnight fame with her rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream." Bridging the gap between the Internet and television, Boyle was pure catnip to fans of heartwarming stories, lilting soprano and reality television.
