Baby memes and baby videos have been a staple of the internet since the very beginning of the viral web. From the famous "Dancing Baby", to "Charlie Bit My Finger", to Success Kid and some of the most famous images to have ever hit the web, these are the most famous babies in internet history.

From the early YouTube clips fearing viral baby videos to the newest baby meme out there, this is a round-up and explanation of the biggest, most well-known babies on the web.

A baby meme is great in that people don't usually make it dirty. It's one of the few things that remains sacred on the internet and actually keeps everyone in a clean, family-friendly mood. Babies are innocent, adorable and joyous enough in of themselves. So in what is probably the cleanest meme/viral video round-up you'll ever run into, these are the best of the best of viral baby videos and baby-based photoshops, funny pictures and viral images about babies.

List Criteria: Extremely popular viral baby videos or baby-based memes that aren't terrible.

Single Ladies Dancing Baby

Easily one of the most watched videos of 2009, if not the biggest viral video that year. The little tike's name is Cory. Cory's parents were so pleased by his instant internet fame when the video of him dancing to Beyonce's "Single Ladies" (which is a whole meme in of itself), that they made the baby a Twitter account, t-shirts and capitalized on their internet fame as quickly as you probably should. Unless you're Scumbag Steve, you only have a matter of weeks before that goes away.

Bombs Away Baby

The "Crazy Mean Baby" or the "Incoming Baby" is, much like Success Kid at first, a popular photo meme that started from the Superherohype.com community.

Once people saw a picture of this baby looking like it's yelling orders out of a foxhole or in the middle of a tirade, they started making all kinds of photo manipulations putting the baby in different situations, the most popular of which is one of him in an army helmet. Some people, though, even put him in a series of film situations (a 7 minute long video montage of which can be seen on this video here).

According to KnowYourMeme and some random jerks on the internet, the kid's dad was a graphic designer (unlike anyone else on the internet) and a photographer. He threw some Photoshops of the Crazy Mean Baby online along with the original to do that thing that street performers do by throwing a few dollars into the guitar case so it looks like someone's already given -- only for memes. The guy seeded his own meme, which is smart.

It's one of the most recognizable and commonly known images on the internet, and an adorable picture of a baby who is now probably old enough to be embarrassed by its existence.

This Little Guy

There's nothing better than a baby's laughter. (Except on an airplane. For some reason, parents don't seem to realize that the sound of a baby squealing with delight is just as loud and awful as that of a baby shrieking in agony.) (Am I a bad person?) This little fella is just having himself a hell of a time listening to [who I presume is] his dad making sounds. This could easily be the best day of his life so far.

He was also one of the first babies to go viral once YouTube began, garnering over 150 million views across multiple videos, getting on countless news stations and even being the choice clip shown to The Queen of England upon her visiting YouTube headquarters in 2008.

The Dark Side Baby

The video was originally uploaded to YouTube by a Redditor named Stardestroyer65 (obviously a Star Wars fan) who shot this video of his daughter playing with her toys, then seeing a car fall on the ground which led to her laughing like a supervillain at the demise of the small imaginary people in the car.

Various video manipulations were made once the thing went viral and the video was soon given the Imperial Death March and various other songs that made the child's victory over the car seem so... evil. Yet adorable.

That Baby That Sneezes and Farts at the Same Time

Just a viral YouTube video featuring exactly what it sounds like. With over 15 million views. It is pretty cute how surprised and delighted the parents are by what had just happened.
