Our Favorite YouTube Videos This Week: The Fan Video Edition

via Mashable! by Brenna Ehrlich on 2/4/11

Everyone is a fan of something (unless one is a horrifying, soulless human being who lacks the ability to feel), and oftentimes, that fan-ism manifests in, well, fanaticism.

YouTube, to be sure, is an excellent forum in which to showcase one’s fanaticism, which is why this week’s roundup theme is: fan videos.

The theme in question was chosen by Austrian musician and producer Wolfram, whose new video (which is premiering right here on Mashable at this very second) “Fireworks” deals with that very subject, mimicking those glorious, fan-made videos that so oft populate YouTube’s more rabid climes.

“Fireworks” is the first single off of Wolfram’s self-titled debut album, and it features New Yorked-based band, Hercules & Love Affair. Check it out above, and then head on down to that there gallery for some (more-than-slightly embarrassing) tribute vids.

NB: Said video features some NSFW images, in the style of many a music video.


Emma Watson Fan Video


Wolfram: Baby don't hurt me. It does.


Crazy Shakira Fan


Ada Ospina: I'm sure this fan didn't want this posted. At least she got a hug for her attempt.


3-Year-Old Crying Over Justin Bieber


Sarah Kessler: Also see happy sequel.


Sanjaya Malakar, "You Really Got Me"


Brian Dresher: American Idol + Sanjaya + Crying Girl Fan = crazy TV ratings! She makes her appearance at around the 20-second mark.


Emily Howard From Little Britain With Sting


Lauren Rubin: Sting asks the audience for a lady to sing with him on stage at a performance, and is shocked by the harmony that ensues.


Fanography: Britney


Erica Swallow: My friend, Matt Stopera, now a Buzzfeed editor, was deemed Britney Spears' biggest fan on MTV's Fanography back in the day. I love his floor sequence at 4:01.


LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE! (NSFW language)


Vadim Lavrusik: This is one die-hard fan. It doesn't get much funnier than this.


Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation


Brenna Ehrlich: Some kids made a shot-by-shot remake of this flick in the '80s. I just exploded from the radness.


Utah State's Wild Bill vs. Nevada 2011


Zachary Sniderman: To each his own.
