With Mother’s Day coming up on Sunday, NewsFeed takes a moment to appreciate some of the most memorable moms who have gone viral on YouTube in the past few years.
The Dancing Mom
While Utah mom Summer Knowlden was practicing for an online dance-off, she accidentally knocked down her toddler as she was shaking her behind. However, we actually wouldn’t be surprised if more moms had dance parties like this one when their kids leave for school!
The Mom Who Dances to Beyoncé
This mother and daughter, however, have perfect timing when they groove to Beyoncé’s “End of Time.” After the dance went viral, choreographer Tianne King and her daughter Heaven got to meet the pop diva at a concert.

The Mom Whose Son Really Needs a Cupcake Right Now
Arguing with his mother Linda Beltran and saying “Linda, honey, listen!” repeatedly for two-and-a-half minutes may not have gotten Mateo, 3, the cupcake that he wanted, but it did get this video more than six million YouTube views. He finally got his cupcakes — actually a tower of Superman and Batman-themed ones — on The Ellen Show in March.
