You held out for as long as you could, but one day — against your better judgment — you clicked on a viral video. A song about chocolate rain. A man going full-psycho over double rainbows. Rebecca. Effing. Black. You didn’t feel great about it, but you just couldn’t help it.

We may never have a hard-and-fast gauge on what makes something go viral — something to do with wisdom tooth extraction meds? — but we can still, retroactively, attempt to make sense of some of it. That’s why every week we’ll be taking a look back at the things that went viral exactly five years prior.

Here’s what was buzzing around the Internet for the week of July 4, 2010:

"Today is kind of like 'Oprah'!" Glenn Beck said in the opening of his 2010 "Founding Mothers" Fox News segment, a spin on the weekly "Founders' Friday" series.

He was exactly right. It was exactly like "Oprah." Remember that one episode where Oprah called Revolution-era women ugly and then, moments later, told an audience of women "Men are better than you." You don't?

Turns out Beck's 2010 program, a special treat for the Fourth of July, was nothing like "Oprah." Not even remotely. In it, the Fox News pundit decided to pay tribute to the women who helped found America. "We probably wouldn’t have had our independence if it had not been for the critical role that women played!" he said with gusto. Unfortunately, the whole thing was interspersed with wildly sexist comments undercutting the tribute at every turn.

While glancing at a prop-portrait of a Revolution-era woman, for example, Beck was struck by how ugly women of that time were. "I have to tell you, this one, either the art was really, really bad back then or they just had ugly, ugly people." Later, he pointed to one portrait of a female soldier, explaining that she probably didn't have to do much to pass as a man. He chuckled a little bit to himself.

If you stick around until the end, there's a major reward: Beck explaining to his guests that he hates those "women in bonnet" movies -- no, "Emma Thompson" movies -- and also, this delightful quote:

"May I just say -- my mother-in-law is in the audience, so close your ears," he says. "Sometimes guys pretend to be bad at stuff so then the wife — honey, you are so good at this. You know your husband stinks at wrapping presents so on Christmas eve, you're wrapping all the presents. Really, we're better than you."

Happy Fourth of July, everyone.
