You may well have heard of The Guild, a World of Warcraft themed 5-10 minute TV show on Youtube. But have you heard of A Good Knight’s Quest? These are just two of our top 5. Hopefully you’ll leave enlightened and interested, having learnt of a few new ways to waste your time.

1) No list of Internet Television Series would be complete without The Guild which was first broadcast in July 2007. It covers the adventures of a guild of players taking part in an MMORPG. The story is narrated by Codex, the healer of the group, played by Felicia Day. It won 2 Streamy Awards this year, 3 last year, and is seen by many as the best series on Youtube.

2) Equally popular, is our second choice Chad Vader. The main character is the younger brother of Darth Vader, shift manager at a grocery store called ‘Empire Market’. Many of the lines are lifted directly from the films, and any Star Wars fans should take instantly to this recycling of their franchise in a more modern day setting, which is also one of ‘George Lucas Selects’ from 2007.

3) The Black Dawn is a post apocalyptic multimedia experiences set in Los Angeles. A mysterious plague falls and there are only 13 survivors, all of whom are college students. Every step of the way there are clues to discover and puzzles to solve, as every episode gets you closer to the truth. It’s also being developed into a feature film and should hit our screens sometime this year.

4) A Good Knight’s Quest : Started by Escapist Magazine, this web-series focuses on a Princess who arrives through an Xbox 360 video game, having been freed by the protagonist, only to discover that she is being followed by our enemies from the game. Will they make it through, and who will reach the crystal first?

5) Ninja Babes from space : Although this series ended quite some while ago it’s always been one of my favourites. Take a really popular idea, and put it completely out of context. Surprisingly it works rather well. If the title isn’t self explanatory well then… We’re in trouble.

OK Go are probably better known for their videos than their actual music – the video that shot them to fame, with the band doing an inventive dance routine on treadmills, made them viral kings. In just one shot they produced one of the most memorable videos ever – and they’re at it again…

#5 – This Too Shall Pass, by OK Go

Well…my best of YouTube award anyway. I’m going to run you through the ten funniest videos on YouTube. Some are classics, some are going to be unknow. Some are going to make you laugh. Some aren’t. All we know is, they’re all pretty funny.

10.) Lots of people hate cats, and I’m hardly a fan. If you are like me, this will make you cackle.

9.) Ha, what a loser.

8.) This is an old time classic we all know and love.

7.) This involves sheep, and yet its still remarkably funny.

6.) The talking cats, cute and yet oddly scary.

5.) Probably the single greatest music video ever produced.

4.) Another classic that never gets old.

3.) FailBlog is mostly funny, but this is particularly amusing.

3.) Number two, and this was a contentious one! Should it have gone top, should it have featured?

1.) And the winner … is the song we all know and love. If you didn’t laugh out loud, see a psychiatrist:

Now don’t wet your pants with anger if I am wrong, because I haven’t seen every video on YouTube. However, if you know a video funnier than all of these, comment below with a link.

Is this the funniest video on YouTube? Probably not, but it sprung to mind. Comment with a link to a funnier one. And the guy in the Star Wars suit doing thrusts is not funny.
