YouTube Awards 2007

YouTube Awards 2007

Its time to reflect on the best YouTube videos of 2007. YouTube staff make the nominations, but it is the users that decide who wins! This year we are very excited that our very good friend Sam Proof (pictured) is up for a possible gong in the Instructional Category.

Below are my personal recommendations. I haven’t included a recommendation for every category. Indeed as someone who doesn’t routinely watch “featured” content on youtube, I haven’t seen many of the videos. There are, however, some personal stand outs.


  • Music
    Harmonica + Beatbox: Final Cut

  • Instructional
    DIY: Make A Zine
    by SamProof

  • Politics
    I Got A Crush On Obama
    by BarelyPolitical

There will be no “Oh both Hillary and Obama are awesome” fence-sitting here. No. When I think of funny, I think of SamProof. But not only is he funny, he can also be educational! When he enlightened the world on the merits of zine making people were enthralled. And I am delighted to say that I have a copy of his zine sitting on my desk even as I type.

Also, we note soberly that at no point during the Presidential Race did anyone come out to confess having a crush on Hillary Clinton. Not even her husband. Just sayin’.

Don’t forget to vote!
