Top 10: Favorite YouTube videos of Scene staff

10) "What What (In the Butt)" Never before have so many random images confused so many random YouTube viewers. Samwell's video for his "What What (In The Butt)" single opens with a burning cross and evolves into a levitating piece of chocolate from which Samwell's mouth breaths heavily. The song includes three Samwells dancing inside a cartoon-like castle in the sky, while the center Samwell shows off his snazzy pants, which have been bedazzled with "What What" you know where.

9) "Miss Teen USA 2007 - South Carolina answers a question" Recent polls have shown that some people are dumb. But Miss Teen South Carolina refuses to be just another statistic. Girlfriend excels at living the dream. Few U.S. Americans have, such as, quite the way with words Caitlin Upton does. So watch it. For the children.

8) "Patada Times Square" Watch this one for some sweet break-dancing action.

7) "Vagina Power with Alexyss Tylor" Self-styled sexologist Alexyss Tylor and her mother lay 9 minutes of advice on YouTube viewers, straight from the studios of Atlanta Public Access TV 9. We can't even be funnier than this, so pardon the direct quotes. "All penises are not created equal and they don't create the same level of intensity." "He ejaculated all in her brain." "He's screwin' her into slavery." "I don't have any degrees from academia, but I have a master's degree in being played by men."

6) "Sex Over 300 Times" Although every Maury episode is technically a shit show, this one is particularly rich in dysfunctional family gold. Maury provokes mother Vicki into explaining the whore her own daughter Victoria is well on her way to become. A highlight of this clip is the brief interlude when Victoria shares her life goals: to drop out of high school, go on "Girls Gone Wild," and have her baby.

5) "Lip Gloss" The music video for Lil' Mama's hit "Lip Gloss" makes "High School Musical" look like a honky square dance. So the story goes, a sad teenager's spirit is enlivened upon receiving glittering pink lip balm, a token of luck from her mother. As sassy Lil' Mama raps, all the boys meet her at her locker and chase her after school.

4) "Read A Book" Does crunk rap always have to be about snorting crack and pimpin' hoes? D'Mite, the self-proclaimed poet with a hip-hop style who takes up residence in our very own Washington, D.C., pondered this very question and answered it with an affirmative "No!" He proves his theory correct with his song "Read A Book," which features a monotonous beat, a Beethoven sample, and plenty of advice. He tells listeners to brush their teeth, wear deodorant and buy land.

3) "Very Angry Cat" This is one bad cat who needs some "fur"ious discipline. Naturally, YouTube users cling to the fact that this kitty has been abused, but we find its screams intolerable and inappropriate.

2) "Laughing Baby" If you adore babies with unique laughs, this video is for you. This bibbed baby goes bonkers when taunted with "boing" noises made by an older man. What separates this toddler from most is its surprisingly mature laugh, which exudes the same raspiness you'd expect to hear from an octogenarian with a bad lung. Marvelously, this baby's energy combines the silliness of a boy who loves noises and an elder who's just crapped his pants.

1) "The Mighty Boosh - Old Gregg" Perhaps not for the faint of heart, this clip from the popular BBC Three television series features the antics of a scaly man-fish named Old Gregg. It's strange, to say the least, but the more times you watch it, the better it gets. It's got all things that are good. Check it out for yourself and make an assessment.
