One of the best things about the time we live in is that great video content is becoming easier and easier to find. YouTube[1] is usually at the centre of it all, but if you look at the most watched videos on the platform[2], you usually end up with a few fun videos, and a bunch of songs. There's a similar list from YouTube India[3] as well, which adds in a few fun more interesting clips actually. But even this misses out on some of the other great videos that burned bright over the year, even if they didn't generate as many lasting views.
So we set out to collect as many of the best viral videos as we could find. This isn't exactly a scientific list, just the stuff that was everywhere for us, and it's possible that you might find something for the first time in this list. Some of the videos are more than a year old too - the focus here was less on the most successful videos released in 2017, and more about which videos we were all watching this year. And beyond that, if there's a great video you think everyone should see, do share it with us and the other readers via the comments.
Without any further delay, let's get to our list, in no particular order.
1. Ping Pong Trick Shots
This one made it to YouTube's list of the top videos of the year as well, but we're not going to deny it a spot in our list just because of that. The fact is that this is one of the coolest videos and we have no doubt you will spend a lot of time rewatching it...
