Ridiculousness Host Rob Dyrdek Reveals Viral Video Secrets

It’s the question every budding YouTube superstar has asked themselves: why has that flipping cat video gone viral but my hilarious directorial debut can’t crack 100 views?

Ridiculousness host Rob Dyrdek is here to tell you the answer (and no, it’s not because we just can’t get enough of cute kitties).

“Animals, c’mon,” he says of finding the right subject matter. “Either being cute or stupid, but most perfectly when they're acting like humans."

Those aren’t his only tips for Internet stardom, however. Rob also suggests that the perfect viral vid should be “unexpected, have a left turn” and, where possible, feature “fear face”.

Less funny though? "Someone getting catastrophically hurt." As Rob sensibly advises: “Just erase, delete, move on.”

Whatever you do, don’t give up. You’ll know when you’ve got the perfect viral video because, as Rob reveals: “The moment you watch it, the number one feeling you get deep in your soul is 'I have to show this to my friend'.”
