If you feel blue that The Year which gave us The Cronut and far too many celebrity selfies is over - we've got just the thing to start the year with sidesplitting merriment!
Forget the hoaxes and whoppers of Manti Teo's Imaginary Girlfriend, Anthony Weiner/Carlos Danger, Lance Armstrong, the disaster that was #AskRKelly, Mayor Rob Ford, etc., etc. Just kick back and watch these hilarious Viral Videos we bring you from Norway, Japan, and Tim Russert's beloved Florida, Florida, Florida.

1. Adorable 5-year old Claire signing while singing so her deaf parents in the audience can follow along for the Kindergarten Holiday Concert
2. The Viral Video of the year, with more than 350 million views, goes to the Norwegian comedy group Ylvis for their pop-dance music about sounds in the woods at night. This video was so big that it had us asking ourselves if fish really do go "blub." And by the time we heard "wre-e-e-e-eck" months later, it didn't sound quite as original as when we first heard "ho-o-o-o-rse."
3.Just about every group convened this spring to make a Harlem Shake video - entire universities, co-worker alliances, business consortiums, medical students, prisoners, family subsets et al - but our surefire fave is this 60 second exuberance by the baby-billionaires who are the Miami Heat.
4. And lastly, we bring you the ultimate in happiness to ring in the New Year - here is "DayMan" from 8 Japanese scoolchildren.
Happy New Year, Everyone!
*Open to USA residents at least 18 years of age
Definitely #1! :)
Liked them all, but #1 is the best!
I prefer video number one. She is adorable.
What does the fox say? I had to Google and ask people, really what does he say? The video is soooo funny!
This is my first time seeing the video of Claire and it's my favorite. She's so thoughtful and adorable.
I love the little kids, but the Harlem Shake Miami Heat has to be my favorite!
The 5 year old girl signing and singing at the same time for her parents. That was so awesome. It's hard enough for the little ones to just remember the words to the songs but also be able to sign it is incredible.
no competition - 5 year old Claire!
1. 5 year old Claire is so cute!!!!
It's definitely Claire, so sweet and touching!
My favorite is Video #1 (KODA in Kindergarten Holiday Concert).
Well....not to be an emotional philistine, but the Miami Heat one cracks me up. Nothing against sweet Claire's cuteness though!
i love what does the fox say
# 1 so cute
I vote for #1, Claire. That is such a heartwarming video. So sweet!
