When you go out and you wish to buy a pair of jeans there are some considerations to make. Size, the right cut, the right colour maybe and the right length. Well 4 individuals took these considerations a bit more seriously and went for an added extra. Can you back flip into your pair of jeans?
This video was made in Pakistan with 4 people, a pair of jeans and a flip cam. Seems almost like they just got bored of dressing in the morning the right way and they wanted to add a bit more of a spin to the whole thing.
The whole video seems so entertaining to some viewers that there are re-enactments of this video posted on YouTube and other sites a number of times. I don’t really blame them to be honest. It’s so exciting that during the video, at the 1 minute mark even one of the actors in the video gets over excited and takes a fall once one of the stunts was made successful.
The simplicity of these viral videos is what’s really interesting. I don’t get it. What makes this so interesting? Strategic tagging maybe? Thumbnail optimization on YouTube to maximise views? It’s just 4 people slipping into jeans in different ways. When you wake up in the morning and you put your jeans on I bet you don’t really think about back flipping into them you just want to wear them and get out of the house. Brainstorm some stuns and some ideas, get a couple of your friends, buy a cheap camcorder, create your account on YouTube and bang you got yourself a video viewed by people all over the world over 6 million times. Sure there is some comedy added into it but i just don’t get what’s so fascinating about it that it even caused people to re-enact the video a numerous amounts of times. But that comedy and the unexpected concept of people doing crazy stunts and flipping into jeans maybe be the key reasons why this video went viral.
