Most creative: "Super News! –Gates vs. Jobs"
YouTube didn't have a "best video" category, so we'll stick with the "most creative" label for this one.  It starts off as another Mac/PC ad spoof, and turns into so very, very much more. This five-minute gem combines all of our favorite topics: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Apple product hype, Vista-bashing, and a singing Finder. Plus, it coined the epic phrase: "PCs are for fart-huffers and Macs get you laid."

Best Series: Will It Blend?
You can keep your ninjas and your lonelygirls. Nothing whittles away productivity like watching iPods and hockey pucks get reduced to smoking mounds of dust.

Best music video: Basketball accident / "I believe I can fly"
I believe I can fly. I believe I can dangle from a basketball hoop by my tibia...< If ever a cheesy movie soundtrack song and a video of backyard antics gone horribly wrong were meant for each other. This video was a consistent favorite, if only because we've all done something equally stupid and/or painful at some point.

Best commentary: "Turkey vs. Greece"
When most kids get caught making nasty comments on YouTube, their parents take away computer privileges for a week or two. This series of video replies and comment flame-wars brings home the "best commentary" award solely for the fact that it managed get an entire country grounded from YouTube.

Most inspirational: Diet Coke and Mentos
Inspirational? Maybe not in the "I'm going to change the world by hugging one thousand kittens" sense, but this phenomena has without a doubt inspired the purchase of more bottles of diet coke, rolls of mentos, and boxes of ultra-strength laundry detergent than any other viral video to date. Plus it's way better than those creepy old "freshmaker" ads.
