Naked bodies, record-breaking rappers and Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle were the videos most New Zealanders watched and searched for on YouTube in 2009.
Air New Zealand's cabin crew baring all in body paint at last got people watching the airline's safety demonstrations, even if they weren't on a plane.
The music video to Smashproof's hit single 'Brother' also copped an eyeful, as they broke a 23-year-old chart record with the longest consecutive run at the top of the New Zealand singles chart by a local act - 10 weeks.
Top video was Boyle singing up a storm on Britain's Got Talent. She suffered a breakdown, before releasing a best-selling CD in time for Christmas.
YouTube also examined billions of queries to identify fastest-rising search terms for each month - this month disgraced golfer Tiger Woods topped the leaderboard.
