Guardian Viral Video Chart

You know Christmas is perilously close when you get sent a link to watch someone drink their own vomit. Christmas used to be so much more civilised.

This week we've opted for a mini-chart of exactly what not to do when celebrating the Christmas season.

Frankly I'm not convinced by the acting in number three or number five. Number four is just vile, although nothing we haven't seen on Dirty Sanchez, and number two seems to be the victim of taking herself too seriously rather than any ridiculous booze binge.

'Drunk at the police station', on the other hand, is one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long time. I would need two hands to count the number of people I know that have cried real tears watching this video.

To quote Bill Hicks, I don't mean to sounds callous, laughing at someone else's misfortune, but I am, so there you have it.

Hey - I'm not condoning this behaviour, just observing it. If you have a better video, don't send it to us!

Update: In a not-at-all veiled dig at Murdoch, why is it that videos on MySpace seem to evaporate faster than videos on YouTube and Google Video? Apologies folks: vids at numbers two, three and six have been taken down but I'll search for them on alternative sites so you don't go without. ;-)

Update 2: And now they are back!

1 Drunk at Police Station A driver brought into the police station for a breathalyser test falls over and knocks a hole in the wall with his head

2 Dancer in the Dark One partygoer's pole dancing routine ends with an unexpected bang

3 This is just way too drunk A drunken girl staggers into a toilet cubicle and gets thrown down the pan

4 Don't ever get this drunk Wasted boozer gulps down his own vomit; discerning through the haze that something is not quite right with his pint, he gives it a good stir with his finger

5 Office party drunk girl owned by her boss Remember not to bad-mouth the boss when you've had too much to drink at the office party

6 Tazered drunk Driver is so drunk the cop needs to taser him over and over again

7 Drunk man trying to stand up Gravity can be a dangerous thing

8 Bad Santa - drunk at work Clip from the movie, Bad Santa

The chart sometimes shows the same clip more than once when different people post it on different sites. Compiled from data gathered from 00.01 on Thursday 30 November 2006 to 00.00 on Wednesday 6 December 2006. The Weekly Viral Video Chart is currently based on a count of the embedded videos and links on approximately two million blogs.
