The video social network YouTube turns 10 today. A decade ago, who would have thought that online video content would impact us so much? The social impact of the site is undeniable, with it being the third most-visited site on the web.

A decade ago, we didn't realize how much streaming content would infiltrate our everyday lives in 2015.

At 8:27 p.m. on April 23, 2005, YouTube's co-founder Jawed Karim posted the video-hosting site's first video, "Me at the Zoo."

Ten years and billions of video views later, the social impact of the site is undeniable, with it being the third most-visited destination on the web, according to Alexa. In 2006, Google purchased the hosting service for $1.6 billion.

To celebrate the big event, we figured it would be fun to take a look at some of the more popular New Jersey-centric viral videos and ask our readers to upvote (and downvote) their favorites.
