Since YouTube was already growing significantly before Google bought it, I'm not sure "Google" is the right answer.

A better one is "easy sharing" + "pirated content" + "Lonely Island."

True, it was a wild west growth though - whereas Google put its PPC monetization behind it when it was purchased and no one else could compete with that prowess.
