Viral Videos go Viral

So there's this guy, Ray William Johnson. He has his own Youtube channel, and on his channel he goes by the name of =3. Twice a week, he gathers a handful of viral videos and reviews them on his channel; what makes them funny, what makes them weird, what makes them scary, etc. He's taking videos that have already gained popularity on the net, and pushing them further into fame using the same medium. In my opinion, this guy is great at what he does. He understands the fads of the internet, the fast pace that most internet users run at, the things that come across as funny, and more.
But don't just take my word for it! Check him out.

  1. This is pretty interesting. I agree with what you have said about him being great at what he does. He kind of takes a Tosh.0 approach to presenting viral videos to other Youtube community members in a different light than they might not have seen it in before. Commentary, opinion, a different type of humor. These are all things that somebody might not experience if they were simply watching these videos from their uploaded page.
