| Grade we gave it: C | |

Jack Chop was chosen for its originality, gore factor, Boston inside joke factor, and attractive guy factor. The word “boss” is used as an adjective. Profanity is hilarious. |

Best Hitler Video |
![]() |
| Winner: Hitler Finds Out Obama Will Address School Children | |
| Grade we gave it: B | |
| Date: September 3, 2009 | |
| TroubledYoungMan says:
As anybody who has ever played Apples to Apples can tell you, Hitler is a bit of a trump card. Hitler, while a terribly evil man, is excellent as a figure of ridicule and jackassedry. This video is one of dozens (maybe hundreds) that take the same Hitler clip from the same movie, and superimpose different context onto the clip via the subtitle. This clip won my heart when it turned a topical news item into a Hitler video parody immediately after it was reported in the news. There is a great disconnect in this video between Hitler yelling at his underlings and President Obama being in the news for something stupid. |

Sittin on the toilet was named number one in the kill yourself category. This should not surprise anyone. VV does not advocate suicide except for in special cases. |

| Grade we gave it: F | |
| Date: April 28, 2009 | |
| TroubledYoungMan says:
I have to say, Edward Current, in disguise as a religious crazy, completely baited and fooled me. Read this interview and these posts (#1 and #2) to understand just how much he fooled me with his acting ability. Bravo, Edward, bravo. |

Yes she’s a friend, and I may be biased, but I truly LOVE her Billy Jean cover, as in I love it 100x better than the MJ version. Shut up! He’s dead! Do you think he cares about what I say on this site? NO! |

![]() |
| Winner: 2012 and the Conspiracy Conspiracy | |
| Grade we gave it: A | |
| Date: November 19, 2009 | |
| MissEttaVendetta says:
This does not in anyway imply that Alex Jones does not tell the truth. Just because your not paranoid doesn’t mean they are not out to get you. |

The Zeitgeist of 2009 |
![]() |
| Winner: The WTF Blanket2 (Snuggie Parody) | |
| Grade we gave it: B | |
| Date: July 18, 2009 | |
| MrsLovett says:
If I wanted to say one word that captured the spirit of this past year it would be Snuggie. Snuggies for people and snuggies for pets. Instead of global action, we lay dormant on our couches in our backwards robes that conduct more static electricity than a little red headed child with a balloon. Let’s hope 2010 is not the year of the Cocoon Cape. Just wrap yourself up and watch Avatar everything’s fine! |

| TroubledYoungMan says:
I loves me some guy too drunk to walk and a little Wolfenstein on the side. This wasn’t that trippy for the viewer (unless you count Gandalf gettin involved in some shit as trippy), but imagine how trippy the experience was for said drunkest guy ever. MEGA ULTRA TRIPPY! |

![]() |
| Winner: Graphic Designer vs Client | |
| Grade we gave it: A | |
| Date: September 16, 2009 | |
| MrsLovett says:
Graphic Designer vs client was chosen because it all comes together in what the internet and free speech should be about. British profanity, robots and access for ordinary people to create something extraordinary for free for all to see. |

| Winner: Twitter: The Musical | |
| Grade we gave it: B+ | |
| Date: April 8, 2009 | |
| TroubledYoungMan says:
I believe Twitter: The Musical will be a snapshot of 2009 in the same way that Don McLean’s “American Pie” was a snapshot of……..well, it’s a snapshot of a time when old people like my dad were in power. Twitter: The Musical is 1/2 commentary on social media, 1/2 demonstration on the kickass Viral Videos you can make if you put your mind to it! GO PLANET! |

Thank you one and all for attending the 2010 Viral Vengeance VD Awards! We laughed, we cried, we all caught viruses–or something.

You only have twelve months left to go!
