Psy broke YouTube
-
We never thought a video would be watched in numbers greater than a 32-bit integer (=2,147,483,647 views), but that was before we met PSY. "Gangnam Style" has been viewed so many times we have to upgrade!

niiiiice.....
-
As a bonus, if you go to the video and hover over the view counter...
-
huh..... They would do something like that...
actually they've probably had it coded for a while now and have just been waiting for the first video to actually trip it.
-
It really makes you wonder just what people see in that video. It is really kind of stupid, and it was the first one to get over a billion views.
-
Probably hit the zeitgeist, then kinda hung around and outstayed its welcome. Like a lot of memes really.
Still, it generated enough interest in one person to make this:

I prefer that one, for a parody version.

Klingon style is my favorite. I don't think I've ever watched the original.

Goddamned, can we just say "there was a period of about 4 months where virtually every fucking video posted to YouTube was a spoof of Gangnam Style, and so whatever media you're a fan of probably has at least 37 by now" and cut the thread short?
Just to test my theory, I did a search for "Smurfs Gangnam Style". OH LOOK THERE'S LIKE 14 OF THEM!

Yes thank you, the point is there's at least a dozen of these videos for everything, therefore we do not need to post every one. We can just trust that they're there.
On the topic of the thread: I'm glad this "honor" went to an actual artist who put actual effort into his video and not someone like PewDiePie (or Mr. Rape Joke) or Tobuscus (Mr. Bad Impression Of An Adam Sandler Impression) or any of those awful hacks who are only popular because they nailed down the lucrative "13-year-old watching videos on his smartphone in detention" market early.
Maybe PewDiePie will be a class act and, in tribute to this accomplishment, go an entire 5 minutes without talking about raping something. Nah, that's impossible.
