GOOGLE HAS TODAY released the top 10 most viewed videos for Ireland, to mark the 10th anniversary of YouTube going live.

It would appear that Ireland has never gotten over the fact that ‘Charlie bit my finger’ as this is the most viewed video over the last ten years among Irish YouTube viewers.

The 55-second-long video, was uploaded to YouTube in May 2007 and it features two brothers from England, Harry aged three and his one year old brother Charlie. The two are seen sitting in a chair when Harry puts his finger into Charlie’s mouth and gets bitten. “Charlie bit me,” he yells and puts his finger back into Charlie’s mouth, which is then bitten harder.

And Irish people are mad for that, it seems.

Two of the popular Sminky Shorts by Cork animator Jason Sullivan are second and third.

And, a blast for the past, Kony 2012 features as the tenth most watched video for Ireland.
