Best family-friendly YouTube videos? My sister's kids just discovered YouTube. They think the Numa Numa guy is the height of YouTube awesomeness. Help me remember the best-ever family-friendly YouTube (or Google Video) links.

So far I've got:
Real-life video game fighting. (The boys are really into all kinds of video games.)
Giant wasp on hand
Fan-created light-saber fight
Real-life Super Mario
Sleepy kitty

What am I missing?

Oh, and the kids are 12, 10, and 7. Girl, boy, boy.

The videos with cute cat and dog tricks are nice. Videos with people singing along to songs are usually safe. But watch them before the kids do!

The Lion Sleeps Tonight. I've watched this video countless times and it always makes me laugh.

Fan-created light-saber fight

Would you think I'm pathetic if I said I'd date both of them if I had the chance? I love that video so much.

Another fun and cute music video done to the song, 'Working for the weekend' by Loverboy. Apologies for my typos. I've got a cockatoo on me and she she very needy.

Sam the Wonderboy, age 6, will dance for hours to the various Crazy Frog videos. Surely someone must blog on this topic--kids videos on Youtube?

Rooster and Kitty!

The Two Chinese Boys lip-synching to pop songs are always fun!

Ah, the Chinese Backstreet Boys. They should like that one. The Loverboy video is great too, but is the sound out of synch, or is it just my computer?

Rooster and Kitty: Good one. I should send them the fainting goat one too.

I really wish I could send them Ozzy, the Super Chicken, but I just know they wouldn't appreciate its subtleties.

Dude, the classics. Forget not the classics. These aren't youtube, but they're favorites around my house and they're new to kids(warning, extraordinarily old flash!)

Oh, and Bitey of Brackenwood which is just sheer genius. But then I'm a big fan of all the Bitey oeuvre.

OMG, I have never seen the Guineapig one before. That's made my weekend, and it's still only Saturday morning.
