It’s nearing the end of the year, which means that Google’s YouTube has to do its annual celebration of the videos and trends we all watched millions of times collectively in the past year.
The video site made a mash-up video that crams every major trending topic into six minutes. Several YouTube stars are shown taking ice bucket challenges, dancing to “Fancy” or singing along to “Happy.” Others get ready for a kiss, others get scared by spider costume-wearing dogs and still, others play Minecraft.
Talk show hosts John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Kimmel make appearances, along with Big Bird. There are also several easter eggs throughout the video.
