As a citizen of the Internet, there are certain things you must know. Certain bits of fluff in our collective history of which you must be aware, should you hope to have any self-respect. But, also as a citizen of the Internet, you are likely to forget anything that happened more than 10 minutes ago.
Which is why, in the interest of wasting several perfectly good hours of your workday, we are taking a trip down memory lane with this list of forgotten viral sensations. Last weekend, we did web series, and this time, it's one-off videos that almost certainly brought you within inches of your life due to uncontrollable laughter.

The Rainbow Sponge

We squeezed, and squeezed, and squeezed, and squeezed, and this video never got old.

Badger Badger

It's the urgency with which he sings "mushroom mushroom" that really hits home.

Homestar Runner

You know you could spend hours reading Strongbad emails. You shank my Jenga ship!

Oh Long Johnson

There are a lot of great cat videos out there, but this is the big league. And, once you've seen it with the subtitles, you'll never be able to un-hear the words.

Unforgivable

In retrospect, it's a pretty insightful commentary on machismo and male posturing — except when he cracks up at minute 2:24.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time

The only thing better than the original is the Family Guy version.

The Hamster Dance

We are sorry for the brain cells you lost to this one.

Keyboard Cat

Okay, we would add the original keyboard cat to the list, but instead we're going with this lesser-known version because it is painfully hilarious.

We Like The Moon

One of the more primitive and, honestly, slightly disturbing entries on this round-up.

Dramatic Chipmunk

Rarely has a small rodent managed to so accurately capture the terror of the human condition.
