I will say this about Jeff Dunham: he is an awful, racist, misogynistic, homophobic anti-Semite. But I will also say this about Jeff Dunham: dude brings in the numbers! The Jeff Dunham show debuted to the highest ratings in Comedy Central history, yes, but a post talking about how he is the worst (FACT) was also the second most-viewed post on this entire website for all of 2009 (and earned us a mention in the New York Times! This blog is REALLLLLL!). Kahdooz to him, I’m sure. In any case, this is a great time to look back on some of the most popular stories of the year. Some of them might surprise you! Or maybe not. I suppose it depends on how easily surprised you get, really. Personally, I am most surprised by loud noises that I am not expecting, and so I found this list to be incredibly unsurprising, but that was due more to its complete lack of very loud, very unexpected noises than anything to do with its content. It’s content was almost entirely unexpected, but quiet. So.

I only joined Videogum a couple months ago, but some of the ones that I missed seem pretty damn hilarious( The Live Kitten Feed Of Our Hopes And Dreams) Looks like Mr. Skinny Tie’s got some catching up to do.
Mr. Skinny Tie?!
Funny. I always envisioned a mousy Aubrey Plaza type girl typing out your comments.
I joined like two weeks ago! Nothing else to contribute, I just wanted everyone to know. Hi everyone! Okay, bye
I’m surprised that “Hey, What’s Up With Topher Grace?” posts aren’t in a 25-way tie.
I know this is super ONTD of me, but <3 ur icon bb!
Well, you know what they say, “25 Blog posts, 25 Christmas Ghosts”.
They also say, “Hey you might not be hearing from me for a while because I’m gonna try to forget writing that and then kill myself probably.”
Twilight: New Moon premiere is the Merriwether Post Pavilion of Videogum posts.
The OK London Nevermind the White Album Kind of Blue-print Computer Calling Funeral of the pop culture reporting.
I can’t upvote these two comments enough. Kind of Blue-print. Lots of Love, over here. LOLs.
I love stupid lamp, Anchorman. Also, I hate Jeff Dunham.
I’m glad some of these make us remember the gone-but-not-forgotten Lindsay Robertson.
Awwww, this gets me all nostalgic and Christmassy, looking back on the Best of the Year. So much so, that as my Christmas present to all you monsters, I actually spent an inordinate amount of time going back through these old posts and giving pity upvotes to people whose comments were sitting on a -1.
MARIAH CAREY AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR, MONSTERS!
I like these one-a-day posts (all two). Chock-full of extra activities to keep you entertained: old articles to read and re-read; a cute video of a kitten playing peek-a-boo again and again for two hours straight… It’s like I don’t even have the time to see my family! Merry Christmas indeed.
Those handbags are REALLLLLL!
Jeff Dunham definitely qualifies as a loud noise I was not expecting. But paradoxically, his commercial triumph is not surprising. That’s why I’m buying each of you monsters a ventriloquist dummy for Christmas this year. If we practice, paint, and exercise, 2010 will belong to us!
I would like to thank all the monsters for making Norm MacDonald appear in the Top Ten of a(ny) list this year. The man is gold.
If I’m reading that right, four of the top five came in the last three months, which maybe suggests that Videogum readership is up? So kahdooz.
Look at Professor Math over here, gettin Married!
Congrats Werttrew! All the Kahdooz and Happy Marriage times to you!
I take its inclusion on this list as a scientific confirmation that that was, in fact, the very best pumpkin head Halloween dance of all time in the world.
Other ways this blog just got REALLLLL: The New Yorker’s Sasha Frere-Jones says
Videogum is among the best of the internets. no kidding.
Sasha Frere- Jones also wrote the worst piece of crap ever in the history of anything:

I always thought that was a thought provoking article. It’s flawed, but I’ve certainly read a lot worse stuff in the history of my everything.
The cries of racism were inevitable though.
DAMN you Fisher19eightysucks, I clicked on that link thinking it would lead to maybe a pumpkin head Xmas dance easter egg, but NO, just SHITTY SHOES.
When did this site reach the big times? When it was featured in the Times or the day the spammers came?
What? No Ed Hardy on sale?
i recognize the girl in this profile picture. i cant place it though. whoever she is, i hope she hasnt been reduced to a life of posing for spam stock photography.
Countering a list of links to the most popular posts with a link to the most popular, most stylish and avantgarde shoes,handbags,Tshirts,jacket,Tracksuitw ect… Touché.
