There's nothing worse than wasting three minutes of your life on a lame YouTube video. (OK, there are many, many worse things, but you know what I mean.) You scour the web for the perfect clip to share with friends -- one that will surely go viral -- only to be completely let down.
This Friday's MashTag is dedicated to just that: #DisappointingYouTubeVideos
Think of your favorite viral videos and imagine what it would take to make them completely un-shareable.
A few examples:
