7 Biggest Internet Viral Sensations Ever
5. Planking
No one is really sure about who invented planking, but it was a huge social media sensation some time back. It’s basically an activity wherein the person has to lie face down anywhere with both hands on the side and the more creative a person got with the place of planking, the more popular they got on the net. There were instances of people planking down their toilet seat, atop a mountain and over a balcony rail as well.

6. Nyan cat
This really childish video was among the top 5 most viewed videos on YouTube. The internet’s obsession with cats, real as well as animated can be seen through this video. It’s a Japanese animated video of a pop tart shaped cat that flies through the blue sky, leaving a trail of rainbow behind it, with a weird music score playing in the background.

7. David after dentist
Most videos involving kids or animals are funny and cute, and this is one such video that became an overnight sensation. The video shows a kid’s reaction under drugs, no not the kind you are thinking, but the safe drug called anesthesia. The funny gibberish this little lad talks post recovering from the anesthesia given during an oral surgery have garnered him about 115 million hits on YouTube already.
