The internet is awash in lists. We're sure that somewhere there's a few billion government dollars being spent on why we humans have such a limitless appetite for all things numbered, but it's no wonder we adore them: they're fun, easily digested, often-trashy candy for the brain. But from the great swathes of pop-culture enumerations, some stand out like beacons in the foggy internet night. (Ahem: just a few glorious examples from Hooksexup.) Great online lists shock us, make us laugh, and teach us valuable lessons (flush the toilet before taking that sexting photo, m'kay?). The format may be grossly overexposed, but the best content deserves to be lauded. Here are the most outrageous, clever, and sexy catalogues of the year that was: the Top 20 Internet Lists of 2009*.
* Besides, of course, our own.
20) 5 Cats That Look Like Wilford Brimley
People who dress their cats in a sweater or refer to him as their son run the risk of being labeled a mental patient. Comparing a cat to the star of Cocoon and an insurance peddler, however, is nothing short of genius.
19) Top 10 Moments Caught on Google Maps Street View
Favorite Moment: LARPers caught on tape.
18) The Top 10 Strangest Lego Creations
Anyone who spends three months building anything with Legos is suspect, unless it results in a working air conditioner. Favorite Lego creation: Han Solo frozen in carbonite.
17) 11 Predictions That Back to the Future II Got Wrong and 11 Predictions That Back to the Back to the Future II Got Right
The 1989 flick imagined a 2015-world full of flying cars and food hydrators. What'd they get right?
16) The 14 Worst Celebrity Plastic Surgeries
Celebrity Who Looks Most Like Robin Williams in Drag: Linda Evans.
15) The Funniest Protest Signs of 2009
Who knew Jesus mockers, lewd women and sports nuts were all going to hell?
14) The 10 Best TV Neighbors
Awesome list, despite it not answering the eternal question: how the heck did Growing Pains get away with naming a character Dicky "Boner" Stabone?
13) 25 Awesome Cubicle Pranks
This will give you a bunch of good ideas on how to get back at Larry from payroll.
12) 30 More Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians

I can't believe every object actually DOES look like Joe Jackson. Even the eggplant...amazing!
This is going to be #1 on my list of funniest things I saw at work this decade.
funniest thing ive seen in a long time. especially photos ruined section and the news story section...the one with nancy grace is hilarious!!!
I really failed the "ee cummings" versus "youtube comment" test. shit.
The 11 sexy photos ruined by people - and the 11 photos ruined by sex - is my new favorite thing. I cannot believe some of those. Please tell me when I'm a mom I won't be grinding on the floor while my kid sleeps naked beside me. Seriously. Someone please tell me it won't come to that...
I could watch the news bloopers over and over. Like, for hours.
@ PAL - I know! I wasn't just laughing out loud. I was BARKING. I got in trouble for disturbing my cubicle-mates. Love the news bloopers. Hate our floor manager.
great meta article Hooksexup, something for everyone :)
Love this! Jack Osbourne looks like "The girl whose family and friends had to pretend they were surprised when she came out over Christmas break freshmen year." will have me laughing all day.....
meta-fabulous!!
Hooksexup has the smartest lists on the web.
holy fuck that cat looks like wilford brimley
Jason Hervey from Wonder Years is SPOT-ON. Looks like Cher's daughter. That's a compliment.
I don't know what's better/worse: the ad for the woman to sit in a bathtub of noodles, or the ad for the 30-year-old birthday party "drunk clown."
"And she would've gotten away with this, too. If it wasn't for that meddling TV."
#1 is awesome
Love this! Hilarious! All surprising and really really funny. More stuff like this!
Hooksexup rules, love this list!
Sorry to disappoint, but the LARP think was staged.
if you wanna see a ton more of these check out this site Ranker i think it's pretty new, good stuff: https://www.ranker.com/list-of/year-end-lists
This is the GREATEST list of ALL TIME! OF ALL TIME! ROTFL :D
Awesome post man. Had a blast going through all the links :)
The "LARPers caught on tape" are from Dagorhir - do a search and check it out. It's a lot of fun!
The idea behind this article is excellent, and for me the first item ("Create your own damn content!") is the real gem here: most of the people spend their entire lives only consuming what is created by others, and creating nothing themselves--or never sharing what they create, which is better than not creating at all, though not the best they could do.
