I don’t know what’s more insane…the duck asking for grapes everyday…the 86 million views of this song…or the 21 million views of the Duck Song 2…or the 15 million views of the Duck Song 3…or the t-shirts, iTunes, and books they are selling off this!!! Just waddle away, don’t try to figure it out.

Not to shabby for a site that started with a video simply titled “Me At the Zoo.” Here is a peak at the beginning 20 videos on through the most viral videos from last year.
