Over the last month, our Best of the 2000s blowout has produced some heated debates (In case you missed ’em: Top 100 Albums | Top 100 Sneakers | Top 100 Movies), and we think this week’s list will be no different.

See, more than anything, the Aughts have been all about watching videos on the internet. Over the last decade, we’ve witnessed the birth of the viral video through a series of important events: the first cell phone with a camera was introduced in 2001, YouTube was founded in 2005, and Nah Right started embedding videos in 2006. We assembled a comprehensive countdown of the decade’s 100 Best Internet Videos, from our favorite mainstream memes to some hilarious hip-hop blogosphere classics, for your viewing pleasure.
