Most infectious viral videos: Beckham, Kobe and other stuff

For a long weekend, there was no shortage of viral videos. Here are four that people will be talking about at work this week.

1) Weezer's "Pork and Beans" video. I know we've already done a few posts on this one, but it's dominated the viral video world this weekend. Released on Friday, it's already got more than three million hits and counting. Best video since J.U.S.T.I.C.E's "Dance."

2) David Beckham's long goal. In a Saturday matchup with the Kansas City Wizards, L.A. Galaxy player (and the only soccer player I know) David Beckham scored a 70-yard goal.

This clip had more than 900,000 hits within 24 hours.

3) Kobe Bryant teamed up with the crew from MTV's "Jackass" for this follow-up to the clip of him hopping over an Aston-Martin.

Hmmm... I wonder if footage of Kobe jumping over a pool of snakes might be doctored.

4) Last and least -- Sharon Stone's commentary on the earthquake in China.

About This Blog

The Internet has spawned a universe of renegade video: an outpouring of parody, celebrity, sci-fi, bloopers, undiscovered talent and weirdness that defies category. We're in an age where homemade clips flare into worldwide phenomena.

We like this stuff. We think about it. And we show you our favorites.
