“Charlie Bit my Finger” is probably one of the most popular videos to ever reach the web. On Youtube this viral video has 347,182,903 hits! These everyday people posted a video simply because they thought it was funny, never because they intended to become recognized or in some peoples eyes famous! Often what does not come across ones mind when posting silly videos is that everyone can see them, and also share them, and those people share them with more people and the trend continues. So the more that video is passed along via electronically through email, internet or any source of social media it is gaining a reputation and eventually becomes viral. This video became so well known that it sparked attention in national news and Charlie and Older brother Harry, two ordinary kids, have made appearances on real television shows such as ABC’s Today Show!
