All-Time Best

The greatest YouTube videos ever ranked on Flegm, voted by the community

What this ranking really measures

Flegm's all-time ranking isn't a list of YouTube's most-viewed videos. It's something else, and that's deliberate. Here, a video doesn't climb because an algorithm pushed it, nor because a channel has millions of subscribers: it climbs because people, one by one, decided it was worth defending. The total displayed next to each title is the sum of all the votes received since it went live, with no expiration date.

This method produces a result very different from classic YouTube trends. On Flegm, you'll find at the top of the table videos that marked the community for reasons that don't only come down to the view counter: a memorable cooking battle, a format that launched a trend, a challenge that became a cult favorite. The all-time ranking is where these videos coexist, whether they date from 2019 or this season.

Our methodology, made clear

Three principles guide this ranking. First, the vote takes precedence over the view: only the number of people who validated a video on Flegm counts, not its YouTube score. Second, no time window: unlike the weekly and monthly tops, the all-time ranking forgets nothing and accumulates votes over the entire lifespan of a video. Third, the order stays alive: an old video can be overtaken by a new one that wins over people faster, and vice versa.

Concretely, more than 1,200 videos from around fifty channels are today competing for the top spots, for a total of several tens of thousands of cumulative votes. The gaps at the top are slim: the very first videos sit within a few votes of each other, which makes the top of the ranking particularly contested and unstable from one week to the next.

What makes, in our view, an "all-time" video

By dint of observing what climbs and what stays, a profile takes shape. An all-time video almost always has a strong, recognizable format: you know in one sentence what it's about. It offers a clear stake (a challenge, a duel, a face-off) rather than a simple moment. And above all, it makes you want to share it: on Flegm, a video climbs when several people repost or vote for it independently, a sign that it won unanimous approval beyond a single fan.

The commented Top 10

1. "Qui perdra son Job !?" - Inoxtag. At the top of the all-time ranking, this creator-challenge format condenses everything that works on Flegm: a simple stake, personalities facing off and a rhythm that never lets up. The community lifted it to the very top, in a perfect tie with its runner-up.

2. "20 WOMEN VS 1 SIDEMEN: KAI CENAT EDITION" - Sidemen. The Sidemen's giant speed-dating format is a clip machine, and this one, with Kai Cenat's appearance, left a particular mark. It's one of the two videos at the absolute top of the ranking.

3. Mukbang ASMR "FIRE Noodle & HOT DOG & GIMBAP" - GONGSAM TABLE 이공삼. Proof that the all-time ranking doesn't only speak French: this Korean mukbang asserted itself over the long haul, carried by a loyal niche that votes massively for this kind of sensory content.

4. "MrBeast Was Murdered.." - Stokes Twins. A concept video, half sketch and half mystery, whose intriguing title made the rounds. The Stokes Twins place here a short narrative format that lends itself perfectly to impulsive voting.

5. "20 WOMEN VS 1 SIDEMEN: SPEED EDITION" - Sidemen. The Sidemen format returns, a sign of its power on Flegm. This "speed" edition has its own dynamic and managed to find its own audience of voters distinct from the Kai Cenat edition.

6. "1000 COUCHES DE GLACE" - Amixem. The big survival/absurd format in the French style. Amixem fully owns the all-out concept that defines him, and the French community showed up: it's his most-voted video.

7. "TERMINAL : LE BATTLE ROYALE COMMENCE (Épisode 3)" - Michou. Proof that a recent video can break through fast. This episode of an event series climbed to the summit in a few months, carried by a very reactive fanbase.

8. "SIDEMEN $20,000 VS $200 HOLIDAY (EUROPE EDITION)" - Sidemen. A 2019 classic still in the upper basket: the "rich versus poor" format that spread everywhere. Its longevity in the ranking perfectly illustrates the all-time logic.

9. "LA BATTLE DES PAYS : spécialités turques avec Byilhan" - Mcfly et Carlito. The best entry from the most-voted duo on Flegm. Their recipe, a foodie battle, a guest, a good dose of bad faith, hits the mark every time.

10. "On vit 24H dans un CHALET à 50 MILLIONS D'EUROS" - Amixem. Amixem's second video in the Top 10, in the "rich man's hide-and-seek" vlog lane. A format he helped popularize and which the community endorses.

The Definitive YouTube Video Rankings

This is the ultimate list — every video that has ever been dropped on Flegm, ranked by total community upvotes. From viral sensations to underrated gems, these are the videos that stood the test of time and earned the community’s seal of approval.

How is the all-time ranking computed?▾

Every video posted on Flegm accumulates votes over time. The all-time ranking adds up all the votes received since it went live, with no time window. A 2019 video and a video from this week are therefore decided on the same criterion: the community's total votes. No algorithmic weighting tied to YouTube views enters into the final order.

Why isn't a video with lots of YouTube views necessarily at the top here?▾

Because Flegm doesn't measure YouTube popularity: it measures what its community actually wanted to highlight. A video can rack up tens of millions of views on YouTube and stay discreet on Flegm if no one posted or championed it. Conversely, a little-seen gem can climb high if it won over the people who discovered it here.

Can the ranking still move?▾

Yes. As long as a video stays online, it can receive new votes. The Top 10 is therefore a snapshot of the current state, not a fixed list. The gaps at the top of the table are very tight today, which means a few votes are enough to reshuffle the cards.

Who can post a video into the ranking?▾

Any logged-in member. You just paste a YouTube link from the submission page. The video then enters the ranking and starts at zero votes; it's then up to the community to decide whether it deserves to climb.
