If it wasn't a household name already, YouTube's contribution to the Democratic debates will prove the tipping point. Hosted by Anderson Cooper, last night's televised debate featuring questions from YouTube users.

With questioners ranging from a talking snowman to a man strumming a guitar, the users of YouTube proved once again that the masses are, if nothing else, more unpredictable than your typical debate moderator.

As for the candidates, they managed to dodge questions, brush off pointed inquires for position statements and generally skate by on vague promises with the same aplomb they've master in more typical debates.

Highlight reels follow.
