Take a look at where it all started...

Evolution is a slow process, but not when it comes to viral videos on YouTube.

The good folk behind The Daily Conversation over on YouTube, trawled through hours and hours of YouTube footage to find 101 of the “craziest, most hilarious, biggest viral videos in the ten year history of YouTube.”

We see all the favourites, from the very first video uploaded to YouTube to the iconic ‘Evolution of Dance’ routine as performed by Judson Laipply.

It’s worth the watch – even if you only stay for the leprechaun guy from Mobile, Alabama.

The video marks YouTube’s 10th birthday, which takes place this week.
