Apparently Spencer "knows" that his video is better, but he can't articulate why. The Grape Lady is the funniest video on the internet because it stars a lady who isn't trying to be funny, she's trying to cheat and then is punished for it in a way that is totally unexpected and shocking, both for the viewer and especially the Grape Lady.
This clip represents reality television in its purest form: a totally unscripted snapshot of humanity from a voyeuristic perspective. The recent glut of reality-TV that has flourished over the past decade, is attempting to cultivate (typically in vain) moments like the Grape Lady. These shows are generally too contrived and never come close.
The Whitest Kids You Know are trying to be funny. That doesn't make them not funny. That would be faulty logic, but it does remove the element of surprise. To be hilarious, it must also be unexpected. Furthermore, their political stance limits their appeal. They are cracking jokes at the expense of redneck conservatives. Personally, I find this very funny, but some populations, such as redneck conservatives, might not.
The sheer euphoria that one experiences from witnessing an overconfident news correspondent face plant from an elevated position transcends all cultures and languages.
As quoted from dictionary.com "Hilarious adj.- Characterized by or causing great merriment." Watching grape lady made me marry. However it was not "great merriment" (as quoted from dictionary.com), that i experienced. Therefore to me Grape lady was not Hilarious it was just funny " providing fun; causing amusement or laughter; amusing; comical" (as quoted by dictionary.com). I'll give grape lady props for being unexpected however it was not meant to be funny in the first place and therefore it is a watered down hilarious. But now i have just read the original title to the post and it says funniest video on the net and not most hilarious video on the net however i refuse to delete everything i have just typed. I give grape lady funniest video on the net however, most hilarious goes to Gun control. Gun control was meant to be funny, it was and it even went beyond. therefore it is the most hilarious video on the net.
Very well. We agree to disagree. However, I'm curious. Just who did you marry? And how exactly did an internet video make you tie the knot? I'm looking forward to meeting my first sister-in-law, whoever she is. Yes, I think meeting her will make me quite MERRY.
spence your getting owned, also never quote a dictionary in your academic career its almost as bad as choosing to go to school in iow.....i mean south dakota.. ps i think your comparing grapes to baby killing bullets both great videos ... i think you should set up a website that has a march madness type bracket for funny/ hilarious vids and charge gajillions for ad space and let america decide.. pss if any one wants to help w/ my research paper let me know
psss congratulations can i be your best man or did you already marry her i always thought fred nate or i would beat you to it but great job we will not be sour grapes

My All-Time Favorite
ya, although grape stomp is a great clip, the Gun control is better
You do know how badly I can beat you, right?
*Spencer shakes his head quietly but smirks at the same time for he knows that his video is truly better
