Here are some of the funniest videos that went viral yesterday:

5. Michael Fry - Hand in your cv (not a video, but still hilarious)
Right, go in there to Leinster house now and hand in your cv. Just say “I have the some experience and I’d like to be the Taoiseach”. Show them your Gaisce award. The worst they can say is no. pic.twitter.com/lexG9F7XVi
