Lions and buffalo and crocs, oh my! Last night YouTube announced the 2007 Video Awards winners, as voted by online viewers.
Adorable -- Laughing Baby.
Comedy -- Potter Puppet Pals in "The Mysterious Ticking Noise".
Commentary -- LonelyGirl15 is Dead!.
Creative -- The Original Human TETRIS Performance by Guillaume Reymond.
Eyewitness -- Battle at Kruger.
Inspirational -- Blind Painter.
Instructional -- How to solve a Rubik's Cube (Part One).
Music -- "Chocolate Rain" Original Song by Tay Zonday.
Politics -- Stop the Clash of Civilizations.
Series -- The Guild - Episode 1: Wake-Up Call.
Short Film -- my name is lisa.
Sports -- balloon bowl.
I think How to solve a Rubik's Cube (Part Two) was much better than part one.
If you just do part one, you're left with a mess.

Just glancing at the list I can see that the Comedy, Series, and Creative winners were well-deserved. I'll have to check out the rest.

I seem to think I've seen funnier on youtube.

The tetris one made me cringe. I was silently screaming about how the game was being played.

Yes. But do we have to drag the US election into every thread?
I like 'Battle at Kruger'. All of the contrived ones I checked were bad.

Anything that doesn't recognize the "You Suck at Photoshop" series is missing something.

It's no surprise to see the majestic "Chocolate Rain" obliterating the competition in the music category.

The comedy one was meh at best.
Laughing babies are cute, but please kids, don't over do it with your baby. It's not healthy for his/her emotional equilibrium to be turned into a little laugh box.
Not healthy? Everyone knows laughter is great for you!

Battle at Kruger is just something else. Of course, every time I watch it I have to turn it into a Republican campaign commercial:
