The Best of the 100 Million+ Views Club

On this luxurious edition of The Daily Tube blog, we will give you a look at YouTube's most esteemed viral video professionals.  With the advent of the fabulously popular Susan Boyle, we thought it best to bring you a list at some of the very best of YouTube, without counting the promotional trailers, music videos, and Disney television spots.

Jeff Dunham first brought this charming and hilarious ventriloquism sketch to YouTube in September of 2007. The sketch caught viral fire, and to date, "Achmed the Dead Terrorist" has been perched at #4 on the all-time views chart, trailing Mariah Carey, the Twilight movie trailer, and Soulja Boy.

Just behind is Susan Boyle, the ugly duckling you've come to know over the past two weeks through the glowing smile and stunned reaction of Simon Cowell on Britain's Got Talent. With 186,000,000 views according to True Reach, Boyle has a lot of internet fame to deal with, whether or not she continues on in music.

The legendary "Evolution of Dance" is next on our list, with a True Reach valued at 147,000,000. The video is not only a viral video legend, but it is, even today, sitting proudly as the #1 most-viewed video on YouTube of all time.

"Charlie bit me!" This quote starts off a video that will bring back memories of the cutest two brothers the internet has ever seen. The video also ranks both among the top most-viewed of all time on YouTube as well as True Reach.

Finally, there's Lezberado, the chit-chatting fan of the Showtime's The L Word. Her video, "Revenge Fantasies", has attracted the attention of Showtime's marketing team, who purchased the video and now keeps it on their own YouTube channel.

That's our trip through the best of the Viral Video Hall of Fame, with a special thanks to Tech Crunch and True Reach for bringing this new method of reach assessment to our attention.  Until next time, happy tubing!
