The Fifth Inductee into the VIDEOTOES YouTube HALL OF FAME

5. Saturday Night Live - DICK IN A BOX - Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake
When is a youtube video not a youtube video??? When it was on YouTube but then taken down by the network that created it and put on their own website with ads and censorship. Here it is with the link coming from NBC
SNL Comedian Andy Samberg wrote this comedy gem "DIck in a box" in a R & B boy band style so who better than Mr Justin Timberlake to join him in performing it. The censors bleeped out the word 'dick' but the show took the unsual step of releasing an uncensored version on YouTube. Well it would probably be the most popular video ever if not for a strange decision to remove it and put it on the NBC website censored and with ads (as I have presented it) but it had more than 40,000,000 hits when it was taken off and showed how the big networks could use YouTube to get their more risque stuff out there. For this (and the fact it is hilariously funny) I thought it needed to be included in the YouTube HALL OF FAME.
