Viral Hit: Dancing Merengue Dog
Posted by Ricardo | Filed under viral hit
There are a few things that can give your video a higher probability of going viral: fails videos are one, for example, and animals -> particularly dancing animals, are one other!
The dog in this video is so well trained and synchronized with the man, so human-like sometimes, that one can’t feel to wonder if this could possibly be fake? (adding to this, it’s the only video on this user’s Youtube account).
Maybe not, but either way it got 1.5 million views in just 5 days, which is very impressive.
What do you think?

Going Viral: A hunter shoots a bear!
Posted by Ricardo | Filed under General Commentary
This video was done for Tipp Ex of all things, and it’s more than just a video gone viral, but you’ll see it afterwards (don’t want to ruin the surprise).
Adding to the fact that it’s a great experience, the video on Youtube holds NSFW in title, which makes people wanting to see it more than they would otherwise.
It’s in the 300 views limbo on Youtube, but I’m sure it will have many more soon.
So without further ado, check it out:

Viral Hit: hay baling fun
Posted by Ricardo | Filed under viral hit
This video is one of those “is it real or not” but we believe it isn’t. It’s also one of those weird videos!
It really seems like a viral for a brand (the type of content, camera work), but we can’t figure out for what brand and nobody spoke yet saying it was their viral, so it’s all a bit mysterious to us at this point.
Anyway, it has become a sure viral hit, with 1.5 million views in just a week, which is impressive.
If you have further information, do let us know.
Goes without saying you should NOT try this at home!
So here’s the video:

Viral Prediction: Gmail Priority Inbox
Posted by Ricardo | Filed under General Commentary, viral prediction
It’s been a while since a Google video for a new service, product or simply a new feature was on the top of the viral video charts.
But now with the launch of the Priority Inbox feature for Gmail, they may be back.
For one, there are millions of Gmail users who might be interested to know what it is and how it works. Then, it’s been a trending topic on Twitter since it was announced last night, making people even more curious and sharing several links about it. Finally, the video is great, which also helps greatly to make it more shareable.
It’s at 315 views on Youtube (but there are already many more, since the views are only counted every two hours or so), we’ll see how it goes in the coming hours and days.

Viral Hit: Future Rock Band
Posted by Ricardo | Filed under General Commentary
If you don’t know Freddie Wong (aka freddiew on Youtube) by now, you should.
He’s one of those prolific Youtube users, but his videos are different then most people’s: they always have a special effects twist to it.
This latest one has gone viral since last week and now become a viral hit, hitting more than 1 million views already.
It depicts how the game Rock Band might look a few years by now and it’s amazing!

Going Viral: Revenge of the Cat
Posted by Ricardo | Filed under General Commentary
Earlier this week, there was a video going viral of a woman dumping a cat in a garbage bin. The internet was all enraged and a group of people even managed to get her name and she’s been questioned by the police.
You know by now that topical parodies have a great potential to go viral, and one made by Mercia radio station (nearby the incident) is a great one, out of a cruel situation.
And indeed the video is going viral, with 350.000 views in just two days.
It’s pretty funny, check it out:
If you don’t know the unfortunate video mentioned above, see it after the break:

Viral Weirdness: Snazzy Napper
Posted by Ricardo | Filed under viral weirdness
Another one of those products that are so weird and ridiculous that their video presentation goes viral.
Who can forget the Pajama Jeans, the Winkers, the Snuggie, or the Better Marriage Blanket?
Now comes the Snazzy Napper! No words can better describe it than the video itself, so take a look:
It’s been online since the end of May but only started going viral in the last week, now with 300.000 views.
Although many people find it ridiculous, there’s no doubt that the video going viral makes them reach more people than they would usually, and certainly will make them more sales.
As a bonus video, check out the new video from Snuggie, which has already started going viral: the Snugarena!

Viral Hit: How To Be Alone
Posted by Ricardo | Filed under General Commentary
This video has been on and off in the viral charts for a few weeks now.
It’s a short film by filmmaker Andrea Dorfman and poet/singer/songwriter Tanya Davis that mixes poetry, animation, and live-action shots.
It was uploaded to Youtube at the end of July and since then got 1.2 million views.
The vibe coming from it reminds us a bit of Wes Anderson movies, doesn’t it?
Worth taking a look:

Real Or Not: Giant Stinson Beach Bubbles
Posted by Ricardo | Filed under real or not
I believe it to be real, but in this day and age we can never know if a video going viral (like this one), is real or not.
Starring “Bubble-smith” Sterling Johnson on Stinson Beach and shot with a Canon 550D T2i, it got 340.000 views in 10 days since it’s been on Youtube.
It seems special effects at one point (particularly when the bubbles burst), but again, probably real. What do you think?
Take a look:

Viral Hit: Cee Lo’s F**K YOU
Posted by Ricardo | Filed under viral hit
(beware, some NSFW language in this video)
Cee Lo’s single for his new album got the kinetic text animation treatment and with that (plus a great song) got a video that has become a viral hit over the weekend (with +1 million views in 4 days).
In the video description, he states that a “full video” will be coming up, but we could certainly see this becoming a trend with other artists, releasing a “lyric video” as he calls it before the actual official video.
Of course if the song is good, it’s easier, and this one is!
