We all need a bit of distraction in our lives, and, for many teens and twenty-somethings, that much-needed distraction comes in the form of YouTube videos. As a member of the young adult crowd, I have spent many lazy days browsing the vast expanse of YouTube’s archives. Those long hours have translated to legwork: Here, for your viewing pleasure, I bring you the ten most hilarious videos on YouTube.
