Filed under: Videos , Lists Mother’s Day is nearly upon us! Here at Urlesque, that means it’s time to reflect on some of the fantastic moms who have helped shape the internet into the fun and weird place we know and love. Without the guiding hands of these mothers, some of our favorite viral videos and epic memes wouldn’t exist. Whether they’re taping their kids doing something funny and making sure it gets on YouTube, or whether they’ve got viral-video-worthy talent of their own, moms are responsible for some of the funniest moments we’ve ever seen online. Here’s our tribute to the moms behind 10 of our favorite web video sensations. Happy Mother’s Day! Maya’s Mom From the Lucky’s Funeral Video When little Maya’s fish, Lucky, passed away, her mom was reluctant to take the funeral seriously. In the famous “Lucky’s Funeral” video, Mom makes a halfhearted stab at a eulogy, but then rises to the occasion to help her daughter with the grieving process. It’s one of the web’s most weirdly touching moments. The “I Don’t Like You, Mommy” Mom A good mom knows when her kid has struck comedy gold and she makes a YouTube video to show it off … even when the video is of her 3-year-old saying he only likes her when she gives him cookies. Judging by her excellent sense of humor, I expect that she turned out to be a pretty cool mom and her kid likes her just fine these days. The “Kick His Ask” Mom When little kids use grownup language, it’s inevitably hilarious. You’ve seen the Will Ferrell video with the two-year-old landlord and the Mac vs. PC fight video with tiny Asian girls … well, the Kick His Ask kid might be even funnier. This adorable little girl tells her mom what will happen if a monster comes to get her. “I’ll kick his ask! If I don’t, he’ll kick my ask!” This priceless moment wouldn’t have made it online if Mom hadn’t grabbed the camera (and, presumably, used the phrase “kick his ass” around her kid). Charlie’s Mom From the ‘Charlie Bit My Finger’ Video Charlie Bit My Finger is the most famous YouTube kid vid of all time. For both of the people who aren’t familiar, here’s the recap: a little kid is holding his baby brother and he slips his finger inside the baby’s mouth. Inevitably, baby Charlie bites his brother’s finger and the immortal lines, “Ow, Charlie, that really hurt! Charlie bit me!” are uttered. Mad internet props to Charlie’s mom for a) capturing this perfect moment for YouTube and b) being English, because the cute accent just makes Charlie Bit Me that much better. Anne, The Mom of Capucine The Precocious French Storytelling Girl Capucine is a brilliant little French girl who makes up amazing stories, full of crocodiles, monkeys and witches. Capucine’s mom, Anne, puts adorable videos online, complete with subtitles so monolingual American n00bs like me can understand them. Capucine’s mom has also set up a project called Capucine’s Library , which provides school books for Mongolian children. What a warm-hearted internet mom! John Roberts’ Mom Mom of Comedy Inspiration YouTube-famous comedian John Roberts is best known for one character … his mom. He gets into drag, adds some ridiculous glasses and fusses about what to serve at Christmas. It’s hilarious, but it turns out his Brooklyn mom clich
