Viral Friday: David After Dentist

Viral Friday is the weekly viral video chart of ViralBlog, showing the 5 most popular viral videos, commercials, games or user-generated videos, carefully selected and ranked by popularity, viral impact & spread.
ViralFriday

This weeks Viral Friday #1 position goes to David After Dentist. In the summer of 2008 YouTube user booba1234’s 7 year old son had an extra tooth removed and Booba1234 brought his camera. The runner up spot is for MysteryGuitarMan with Guitar: Impossible. After over 1000 cuts, 6 hours of guitar tabbing, 1 hour of shooting and “god knows how much editing” he finally finished his song. Time Lapse Of A Baby Playing With His Toys completes this week’s top 3. Francis Vachon filmed his 9 month old son, playing with his toys and creating chaos in the dinning room for 4 hours and time lapsed it into a 2 minute video.

Do you want to see this week’s list from 1 to 5? Go on then, and have a look! We’d like to hear your opinion about the virals. Have fun!
