It’s halfway through the year and people have been generating a lot of video content. More than that, people have been watching, sharing, and liking a lot of video content.

Mashable keeps track of these things in a world where something goes viral for five minutes and then we move onto the next thing.

That’s why they’ve compiled a list of the best viral videos to do the rounds so far this year, to remind you to take a minute to appreciate things.

These are our six top picks from that list in no particular order.

Well played.

Another vid that made the cut, which we covered when it happened, was the online feud between makeup gurus James Charles and Tati Westbrook.

Bet you forgot about that one.

Or you just don’t care.

Maybe you’re more into South African viral content, in which case this video is for you.

Go forth and upload. Maybe you’ll make the list at the end of the year.
