1. Kelly Nash
In the year of the selfie, sports reporter Kelly Nash may have won best shot, despite it nearly killing her. The Fox Sun Sports reporter attended an Astros-Red Sox game in April, and decided to document the experience on Instagram, putting her back to Fenway Park. Nash failed to spot the dangerous balls flying past her head during batting practice, catching this year's most unrepeatable photo op.
2. Joanna Rohrback (Prancercise)
Florida native Joanna Rohrback uploaded her workout video in December 2012, not knowing that the Internet would latch on to this equine-inspired exercise the following May. The video, featuring Rohrback's signature horse-like gait (invented in 1989), went from 10,000 to more than 2.7 million views in a week.
Rohrback's video became so popular that even John Mayer had to gallop in on this dance move. The artist invited Rohrback to prance around in "Paper Doll," the first release for his latest album.

Either music is going to hell or it is getting insanely more creative.
