10- Bang (Original) – This cute and funny video was recorded by the little baby boy’s mom. She had a gun app and when the baby boy heard the noise he put his arm up and fell back like he was dead. The video was about 5 seconds but it went viral fast. This video might be cute and funny but it shows bad parenting. Why would you show your baby how to die and then put it on YouTube for the world to see? I guess people like those types of videos because it has over 10,000 views. (http://youtu.be/amBLmFf7RdA)

So to get their minds off of everything going on around them, they made this video. It got 3,000,000 views. (http://youtu.be/R2ySHSTEzjQ)

5- Extremely scary ghost elevator prank in Brazil- The prank was to put people in an elevator and all of a sudden the lights went out and a girl dressed up as a creepy ghost came out of a side door and stood there. Then the lights come back on and the people see her and start freaking out, the lights go back off and she leaves and then the lights come back on and see is gone. They do that to about 20 people. It was the funniest prank on YouTube, in my opinion. This video has about 56,000,000 views. (http://youtu.be/7N5OhNpIEd4)
