The first month of the decade has treated us well. We cannot complain, after all, social media showed a great involvement in terms of making many clips and memes getting enough attention. There came many clips, some heart-melting, and some heart-wrenching, while others being light-hearted. No matter what the occasion was, internet users did not fail to impress us with their viral stint. And the last week of January 2020 showed no mercy, instead gave us many memories to cherish. While there have been heart-breaking moments like the demise of NBA legend, Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna, Coronavirus outbreak and again, the ongoing Bushfire crisis in Australia. Amid the sad news, we had some excellent clips for viral videos of this week. From the Tennesse Man smoking marijuana in the court hearing to again, three men, playing cards in the middle of traffic, watch seven clips that created a buzz on the internet.
1. Tennesse Man Smoking Marijuana in Court Hearing:
Identified as a 20-year-old, Spencer Boston, he is facing charges of drug possession. According to reports, he was arguing in favour of legalisation of marijuana to the judge. He took out a rolled joint, lit and smoked it at the court hearing in Tennesse.

So, apparently, this grandfather was not in favour of his granddaughter’s pet, a cockatiel. But once the bird was brought, the elderly man was captured sharing some tune with the pet. He was playing the harmonica to the cockatiel, named Peachy and even paused for the bird to whistle and accompany the music.
3. Man Hits Elephant and Runs Away:
A coward is incapable of exhibiting love- while headlines scream it as man animal conflict.

A tiger was running across a paddy field in Tumsar, Bhandara district of Maharashtra. It caught a man under its paws but did not hurt him, as he remained still faking his death. The animal, after a few moments, ran away from him.

Traffic can halt many lives, but never bore these three men, who utilised the time by playing cards in the middle of the road. Sitting on chairs, and playing UNO in the middle of traffic, the video took the internet by storm.
