YouTube crams every big Internet moment of the year into insane mashup

Thousands of years from now, when aliens want to learn about the human race, they will sit down with their iPhone 900s and watch YouTube's "Rewind" videos (a tradition since 2010).

When they watch this year's edition, they will learn one thing about mankind -- that we spent 2014 very cold and very wet.

YouTube debuted its "Rewind" video Tuesday, cramming every big Internet moment of the year into five minutes of viral fun, entitled "Turn Down for 2014" -- a play on the hit song of the year "Turn Down for What," by Lil Jon and DJ Snake.

The video reenacts major memes like the Ice Bucket Challenge, highlights major YouTube celebrities like Kid President and Bethany Mota, and references the hottest music videos of the year like Iggy Azalea's "Fancy." It also nods to viral video hits like "First Kiss" and "Devil Baby Attack" and popular films like Guardians of the Galaxy. And, of course, "Let it Go" gets a shout-out.

See how many other references you can catch -- if you can't get at least 25, then perhaps your New Year's resolution should be to get out less and spend more time on the Internet.
