Gone Fishin'

Scoring a goal in a competitive sport match is an exhilarating experience. Consequently, you generally can not criticize people for celebrating following their moment. However, as the viral video for today shows, celebrations can be taken to far.

Following the winning goal in extra-time the goal-scorer, Halldor Orri, celebrated in arguably the most extravagant nature ever. Far from an unimportant match, this was set in the highest league in Iceland between Stjarnan and Fylkir.

While it has only accumulated 600 000 views, this video has gone viral and has been shown on numerous news and sports stations throughout the world. The comic appeal of the video is undoubtedly immense and as a result, millions of people, albeit through the internet or television broadcasting, have enjoyed it.

Indeed, the combination of sports and humour is very appealing. This video merely exists as one of the many sporting-humour-based viral videos in circulation.

Talent Show Goes Wrong!

So we all know almost every country has their own version of America's Got Talent.  We also know that there is a significant portion of the participants come out with some ridiculous performance which in their view is "talent".  Also, quite a lot of accidents happen during the talent shows.

This video has been circulating around in the internet for a while.  The footage is apparently from Russian Talent Show and the participants are from Ukraine.



Poor guy!

However, it turns out that the video is actually a part of a marketing campaign for some energy drink.  I still haven't convinced that is a staged video, or else it is a pretty darn good visual graphic job.  Anyway, the point is that viral videos are increasingly being used for marketing purposes and so far these campaigns are doing good job to reach its audience and target the market.  It is cost efficient, it is fresh, and it reaches the mass market.  Therefore, in the future, we expect to see more of this kind of videos and there are some serious money to be made for people who can utilize the opportunity.

I feel funny @_@

Do you remember your first dental visit? Did you feel funny afterwards? After a visit to the dentist, this little man David was recorded by his dad after. The medication that was given to him was still wearing off causing him to make some halarious comments on how he was feeling.

 This video went viral with over 67million views watching the little 7 year old have a philosophical reaction to the medication that he was given. His father commented that the medication was present for about 3 hours and even David himself had a laugh after he saw the video. They did not really expect the video to go viral as David’s dad was planning to video tape the 7 year old to show his mum who was not able to attend the dental appointment that day.

Goes to show how powerful YouTube is as a media source. Funny how people see a video like this and start spreading the world making David one of the legends of YouTube. Ever since YouTube has matured to be one of the leading video sharing services online it’s not a bad idea to share something with the world that will make someone smile. You never know, it might go viral.

Peek a Boo!

The latest internet craze this days are simple just all about cats? These days it seems as long as you have a video about a cat doing anything random or funny it simply becomes viral! Oh my cat just jumped on a piano and it made some awesome sounds *Viral Video*, Oh my cat just punched another cat in the face! *Viral Video* Ohh my cat just did it's business on the floor *Viral Video*.

Well todays viral video is just a kitty and the owner is playing peekaboo with it, but the owner's vocal sounds are more interesting (and scary) than the kitten itself.

Overall it's a cute video why not make it viral and put a smile on your face :)!

You iz trollin'

The viral video for today is simply a teenage girl giving shout outs to her online 'friends' and analyzing her experiences with 'trolls' on YouTube. A very contentious video, this adolescent girl became subject to intense cyber-bullying due to the levels of viewers she was attaining.

Going by the alter-ego of 'Boxxy', the success of this video on YouTube resulted in Boxxy's account being hacked by the CBCR (Center for Boxxy Control and Restriction) and serious threats upon her- with numerous death threats. Regardless, her video was highly successful and rapidly became viral.

The appeal of this video, "FOAR EVERYWUN FRUM BOXXY", is related to the highly-energetic speaker, the simplicity of the video, and the appeal of Boxxy as an attractive teenage girl. Indeed, there are a number of reasons behind the success of Boxxy on Youtube.

While the upload of this video did lead to serious, harmful effects on the girl known as 'Boxxy', it remains as one of the most viewed videos of its kind on the internet. Boxxy and her playful and hyperactive mode enthralled and attracted millions of viewers. With over 8.5 million views and 150 000 video comments, Boxxy is undoubtedly a 'viral video legend.

Boxxy's attitude throughout her three videos has been both loved and hated by millions of people of all ages. Personally, I really enjoy the videos due to the various levels of appeal. As one commentator on the video has said- "She is so damn addictive".

The incredible appeal of Boxxy can be viewed below. Enjoy! I sure did!

Hitler and Vuvuzela

If you have watched the World Cup games this summer, there were a lot of complaints towards FIFA, about how badly they were organizing the cup.  Especially, for the die hard football fans, it was hard to tolerate all those bad referee decisions, off-side goals, no-stadium screen replays, and disallowed goals.  To make matters worse, there were VUVUZELAS. Thousands of them.  For those of you who don't know, it is a plastic horn and it is bloody noisy.  In fact, the sound it makes is few decimals higher than the normal hearing level.  Because it was the host country's cultural heritage FIFA could not ban vuvuzela.  And it was hard to bear the noise of vuvuzela on TV and a lot people were pretty angry.  So let's see Hitler's reaction to vuvuzela, for today's entry of viral videos.

Jeans West fits best

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.
