How do I measure greatness in this category? Videos that I get the urge to watch months or years after first seeing them; the videos that give you an emotional lift perennially.

A joke that has gone over ones head is considered a “whoosh” termed by the sound it supposedly makes. As far as videos go, I’ve always found [BJ Vs. Cognac](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CezNIRYYGY&feature=related) quite amusing. ---
