The Ticklish Camel
Some may submit that this camel is annoyed. I reject that theory in favor of the idea of camels being ticklish.
Synchronized Walking
The first minute & 1/2 are boring. It gets much better around 1:45. This is really quite impressive.
The Best Commercial Ever Made For YouTube
This is a commercial. And contains substantial NSFW language. The options given you once the ad has run its course are very fun. Watch the video and respond at the end.
Jake Shimabukuro – While My Guitar Gently Weeps
My brother showed this to me the other day, and it really made an impression on me. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is one of my favorite songs off of The Beatles (The White Album), so to make a new version of it that stands on its own is an impressive feat.
Additionally, it didn't really occur to me until my brother pointed it out, this is being performed on a ukulele. A pleasant instrument, the ukulele can still feel very gimmicky - especially in the last 3-4 years. Shimabukuro's obvious musicality and virtuosity strip away any concern of a gimmick and reveal a true musician on his instrument of choice.
Enjoy.
Edit: In hindsight, I saw a video years ago of Shimabukuro performing this very song. I think the fact I could see the ukulele in the video and my predisposition to dismissing ukulele's as a gimmick led me to overlook his performance. Plus, this studio recording is much higher fidelity.
11 Foot 8
This video is from 11foot8.com, and there's plenty more like this at the site. They're all videos of trucks trying to drive under a low bridge in Durham, NC with a clearance of only 11 feet 8 inches.

Zappos Makes Me Laugh
I don't watch TV in the traditional sense, so it seems I miss out on the occasional commercial. I was discussing the company, Zappos, with a friend and he mentioned this ad as one of his favorites. I'm inclined to agree. I laugh every time.
Eff You
This song is decidedly NSFW. Despite its work-friendly shortcomings, this song is ridiculously catchy, fun, and well performed by all musicians and vocalists involved. The singer is Cee Lo Green, best known as the singer from Gnarls Barkley.
I love the backing vocalists: "Oh sh*t she's a gold digger. Just thought you should know, n*gga."
The History Of The Internet
The sad part is how much of this I remember happening during my lifetime.
