'''''Web Junk 20''''' was a mildly-successful television series that ran for the majority of 2006 on VH1. The series was a collaboration between VH1 and iFilm, as indicated by the opening of each episode calling the series "VH1 and iFilm's Web Junk 20." When iFilm was acquired by Viacom, it was combined with MTV Networks to produce the show as a method of advertisement for iFilm's potential as a rival to the then-growing Youtube. The show was originally hosted by Patrice O'Neal, who resigned at the end of it's second cycle. He was replaced by Jim Breuer for the third cycle, and then by Aries Spears for the last one-off special "Junk 40: Best of the New Crap".
