I always wonder what makes a video go viral. (Secretly, I want to make a video go viral) I feel like the best videos tap into very specific emotions and they help you relate to something.
If you have been living under a rock for the past month, chances are you missed out on the video phenomenon “Sh*t People Say”. I first encountered these videos while I was at work, as I’m sure many other people did, when a co-worker told me to watch Sh*t Girls Say.
I had never seen a video like this before and it made me laugh for one very simple reason: it was true.
It only took a few weeks and it seemed everyone was making their own version of this viral video, and I couldn’t get enough. Some were more funny than others, some I just didn’t understand, and others I was embarrassed to know that I say some of those things, like Sh*t Sorority Girls Say.
Sh*t Girls Say even has their own Twitter account that you can tweet, tag, and reply to.
This trend has began to slow down, and I’m sure in a few months no one will be making or searching for these videos anymore. I don’t think that it is because these videos stop being funny, but that another viral video comes along and takes its place.
Mashable made came up what they thought were the best 15 of these videos, and I agree with most of them, especially the one making fun of people watching these “Sh*t people say” videos.
