Puppets, Racism & Safari videos top best list
YouTube has announced the videos its users voted the best of 2007, with Harry Potter puppets, a mesmerizing baritone and hungry lions playing starring roles in winning works. In 2007, the YouTube community showed the world that there’s something for everyone on the site.
Awards were given in a dozen categories, ranging from music, sports and comedy to instructional, political, and “adorable.”
US Graduate Student Tay Zonday won in the music category for”Chocolate Rain,” a song with racially tinged lyrics including “the bell curve blames the DNA” and “flipping cars in France the other night.”
The award for best comedy video went to “The Mysterious Ticking Noise” in which puppets based on Harry Potter book characters dance and sing merrily before blown up with a bomb by a gleeful Lord Voldemort.
A video of a baby prone to tumbling over in hysterics was voted most comic, and the creativity crown went to Swiss artist Guillaume Reymond, who used people to reenact the videogame Tetris.
Top honours for instructional instructional video went to a US high school student that demonstrates how to solve a Rubik’s Cube puzzle.
The winner in an Eyewitness category is “Battle at Kruger” a video graphically documenting a battle between lions, a crocodile and water buffalo they want to turn into a meal in Kruger National Park in South Africa.
