Every week Bostonist navigates the magical tubes of the internets to bringing you the best in Boston-based viral video programming.

A "born Bostonian," Bo may still be in high school, but his viral star is on the rise. Like the awkward love child of Weird Al and Tay......

Every week, Bostonist brings you the most viral of Boston videos from the depths of YouTube. Last week, it was a prophetic "Pee Pee Dance" from a Bruins die-hard. Bostonist can only hope this next video does not catch on in the same way. Brought to you by idiotproductions, this little gem makes Bostonist wonder what they're teaching in history classes these days. Who knew the Boston Massacre was started with a "Yo Mamma" joke?......

Every week, thousands of videos are uploaded to YouTube with a "Boston" tag. Bostonist is dedicated to searching through the clips of Boston Terriers and painfully off-key Augustana covers to bring you the real treasures. This week, we give you a musical tribute dedicated to the Boston Bruins in honor of their 2008 playoff bid entitled "Dressed in Black and Gold" as performed by "The Singing Plumber" of Nashua, NH. Bostonist hasn't been to a......

From satire by the Upright Citizens Brigade (see video above) to Bob Ryan to editorials in the Boston Globe magazine, the media appears to be wailing on Patriots coach Bill Belichick after Spygate and the Super Bowl loss. So he lost, and so he might be a cheater, but would people be as angry if the Patriots won the Super Bowl? Maybe not. Doug Most writes in the Boston Globe Magazine, "But now it's......

So, the first anniversary of Aqua Teen Hunger Force's attack on Boston falls close to the Super Bowl. The creative minds behind Aqua Teen merge both ATHF and the Super Bowl in one clip, which Bostonist stumbled across on the Best Week Ever blog. However, they're rooting for the wrong team: div#main{overflow:visible;} The mayor, the governor, the city council, and everyone else embarrassed by the Mooninite Menace won't like this. Not only did the Mooninites......

Bostonist realized the other day that, when Tom Brady is spoken of on this site, it is usually in the context of his tremendous play and his devastating effect on the ladies. But we never really thought of his devastating effect on the guys … until now. A gentleman named Dave Hoke posted a song explaining all those funny feelings straight guys get when they think about Tom Brady: Tom Brady Mancrush on FunnyOrDie.com Video......

--Last night, a snowplow struck a pregnant woman as she was walking in Billerica. She is now in the hospital. Her injuries are non-life-threatening. The driver of the snowplow stayed on the scene, but he was citied for driving with a suspended license.

A viral video posted by our brothers and sisters at Gothamist shows some women who pole danced in a train car on a dare from darejunkies.com, much to the chagrin of the MTA. The video is something to behold, although, after seeing all the crotch-grinding and the dubious looks of some of the men enjoying themselves, we wouldn't want to touch anything in that car after the women finished. Here's the video: Given that this......

Who knows what makes New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick tick? Something's going on behind that frosty façade, but it could be too horrifying for anyone to comprehend. Last night, while on the sidelines bracing for battle against the unexpectedly tough Baltimore Ravens, he looked like a man ready to explode. Better to just let the man win games, right? Well, John Tomase of the Herald couldn't resist a little Belichick Analysis. Instead of calling......

Ok, so it’s not exactly viral video, but it’s worth a watch. There’s a big chunk of the middle of this video that might exclude it from a top-notch rating, but Bostonist is still digging a different take on a view we see everyday. Self-described as an experiment in people-watching on the T, the video departs from Park St. It’s mostly Red Line but there’s also a glimpse of the Green Line mess upstairs......
