The Most Inexplicably Popular YouTube Videos of All Time

Miley Cyrus — 7 Things — Official Music Video (HQ)

122 million views

We know that Miley Cyrus is popular with the young ones, but the huge popularity of this video — the most popular on our list — is baffling. Even if you overlook the fact that she's clearly not singing, it's just a bunch of teenagers jumping up and down in front of a white sheet. Even Lady Gaga has to fill her videos with naked Germans and mass-murdering sandwich-makers to get more than 100 million views.

potter puppet pals is hilarious because of how random, cute and silly it is.

It's too early in the morning to watch half of these videos.

I love that the music is, "You Only Live Twice," from a James Bond movie.

A lot of these videos would fit in nicely with that "Creepiosity" piece you had up last week haha

Ah see, I like the puppet pals thing b/c it gets stuck in your head for days and once your friends have seen it any of you can say one sing-song line about it and then all of you will sing it and get the stupid thing stuck in your head again.

The Miley Cyrus one...well I'm attributing that to "anything that is popular with teenage girls" who are able to obsess about things in levels rivaling autistic kids. It probably wasn't hurt by the fact that about half the adult population used to be teenage girls and we probably watched that video a few times each going, "Oh yes, I remember how much that phase sucked."

...and some of us (probably the ones who still read Cosmo) are still IN that phase and their views go under the, "anything that's popular with teenage girls" again.

The Stroboscopy video really explains why deep throats feel so good.

"Lo que tú Quieras Oír" is for me the most stupidest because in the end it´s like 3 minutes of just plain black silent video (to add to all the other strange things it includes)
