We asked and you provided. Since you took the time to vote, Viral Video Film School won the People's Voice Award for How-To & DIY.

It started with The Internet's Dumbest How-To Videos:

And it ended with a Webby Award:

Thank you guys for voting! It wouldn't have happened without you. I know, because it's called the People's Voice Award. Great to know we have some people.

Viral Video Film School is a recurring segment on the weekly television show infoMania. In each episode of VVFS, Professor Brett Erlich teaches you valuable skills in the discipline of Viral Video making. So sit down, take notes, and try not to piss him off. For more Brett visit http://current.com/viral-video-film-school-im/ and Current TV.

infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Erin Gibson, Ben Hoffman, Bryan Safi and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at http://current.com/infomania/ or on Current TV.

- Okay, here's how it's gonna go.
  
  "We did it! Well, you all did it but I got the credit! (smile sarcastically to audience) Viral Video Film School started out as a humble joke, something that few people took too seriously. So, to all those who had lost faith and/or interest in what we now know to be a Award winning Webby winner, I would like to say: SUCK ON THESE! (throw up two peace signs)
  And thank you all, colleagues, friends, Youtube, hilariously dumb people on the internet, and a very special thanks to A'shaela Abdon" :) And then when you walk off stage start singing the National Anthem of Hell.
  
  So yup! That should be your speech :) And also congratulations!!!!
