Excuse this moment of gratuitous self-promotion, but we feel the need to direct you to Current TV’s 50 Greatest Viral Videos this weekend.

Why? Well, partly because it’s a breathtakingly entertaining rundown of the 50 biggest-ever videos to set YouTube on fire – featuring Dramatic Chipmunk, Chocolate Rain and Keyboard Cat to name but three – but also because it’s ludicrously hecklerspray heavy. Tune in and you’ll see contributions from erstwhile hecklerspray editor Stuart Heritage, plus appearances by the fearsome and enigmatic C J Davies – plus it’s all being hosted by Brett Domino, who we seem to have adopted as our bloody mascot this week.

You want proof? Fine, here’s proof – have a sneak peak of our well-edited witticisms after the jump…

BONUS CLIP: THE HISTORY OF THE VIRAL VIDEO:

That’s got you interested, hasn’t it. Good. Then be sure to watch 50 Greatest Viral Videos, airing exclusively on Current TV on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th December at 6pm. Sky Channel 183/Virgin Channel 155.

The internet can move at a phenomenal pace sometimes. Why, no sooner has hecklerspray twittered ‘I’m outside your window with a pair of binoculars and a dagger’ to an ex-girlfriend than the police are called and we all have a good old chuckle about the misunderstanding. In court.

Anyway – further proof of this ultra-speedy Web 2.0 culture is the previously-webthumped Keyboard Cat. No sooner has someone uploaded a video of their cat being ‘manipulated’ to look like it is playing a zippy keyboard tune (which, as YouTube content goes, is already roughly sixteen-billion times better than the standard ‘why Muse matter more to me than anyone in the world’ nonsense) … than it takes on a whole new life.

‘Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat’ might just be the most meta concept in the history of the web. Already-famous internet videos are given the keyboard cat treatment to create something genuinely bizarre. Occasionally the results are lame. Occasionally – as with the Chinatown clip – they’re the funniest thing you’ll see all day.

And guess what? Some kind bastard has only set up a site compiling these vids! Take a look, why don’t you?
