Wow, what a year we've had. One of the most important things that happened this year in video is that President Obama decided he didn't give a fuck. So, we've all been lucky to see POTUS find his more comedic side. At the same time, there were some killer parodies, hilarious skits on "SNL" and the other nightly shows and some tearful reminders of those we lost.

Check out the most massive, epic, colossal, Trump-ego-huge list of videos from 2015 that will remind you of how great this year was:

The commercial that'll make you call your parents.
If you haven't seen this video yet this holiday season it's gone super viral. It's a commercial for a German supermarket chain, and it might make you cry. Seriously, I called my grandpa after watching this.

Remember when President Obama brought in an anger translator to the White House Correspondents Dinner?
"We can count on Fox News to terrify all white people with some nonsense!"

Then Stephen Hawking covered Monty Python's Galaxy song because, of course he did.

Chris Farley as Shrek
This year we found out that Chris Farley was originally slated to play Shrek instead of Mike Myers. But due to his untimely death, we missed out on seeing him do it.... Until.... the sketches and about 90 percent of the voice work for the film was released and put online. Here is some of it:

Remember that rich drunk college kid who was in the dining hall demanding macaroni and cheese?
Whatever happened to that guy?

Obama reads mean tweets as he enters the "Obama don't give a f*ck" portion of his presidency:

Real life Peter Griffin showed up to New York Comic Con and he was everything you hoped he'd be!

Thank you to Auntie Fee who, this year, taught us how to cook everything we ever need:

Larry David played the best Bernie Sanders of all time.
Even today, people tweet the debates and refer to Sanders as Larry David. It was amazing.

It's possible you missed this, the video has been taken down and put back up many times. Meet Jon Hendren. He was brought on CNN/HLN to talk about Edward Snowden and ended up talking about Edward Scissorhands.

Dick Cheney Truth:
This video totally went nuts on Tumblr. It's basically a dude talking about how Dick Cheney made money off the Iraq War.

Because, of course we have to mention it: Pizza Rat
