<p>While one of those videos has reached the 20th position in the most shared videos on Twitter yesterday, all four of them still have very few views and are bound to be further discovered and spread virally in the coming days.</p>
<p>The theme is how much <em>something </em>can you pack in a Jazz, and they&#8217;re all hilarious and very well made.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll start with the first one going viral, How Much Hipsters Can you Pack In A Jazz?</p>

<p>This one got 4.422 views.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s continue with How Much <em>Ninja</em> Can you Pack In A Jazz?</p>

<p>The next one deals with How Much <em>Rap</em> Can you Pack In A Jazz?</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9wM0B4XMu5A&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9wM0B4XMu5A&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>

<p>And finally, How Much <em>Massive</em> Can you Pack In A Jazz?</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BVUQSZc-m8s&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BVUQSZc-m8s&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>

<p>Not only the ammount of videos, views and exposure to the brand, but people loved it so much that they also made related creative pieces, which are also really good (and also going viral).</p>
<p>One of the best is the next video, done for the Harold B. Lee Library, and which got more than 1 million views in a just 4 days.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2ArIj236UHs&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2ArIj236UHs&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><span id="more-2586"></span>Another cool video is a remix into a song of some of the video responses, by Mike Relm.</p>
<p>It got 350.000 views in 4 days also.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ENHYjW83Oxs&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ENHYjW83Oxs&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Finally, it&#8217;s not a video but a site.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s something made by a group of fans who transformed this next video&#8230;:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-8JsvwUcok0&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-8JsvwUcok0&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Into a full functional site &#8211; <a href="http://oldspicevoicemail.com/">http://oldspicevoicemail.com/</a> &#8211; where you can make your own voice mail with the Old Spice Guy!</p>
<p>All in all, an absolutely brilliant campaign that, with the videos and user-generated content related to it, keeps on going and going.</p>

<p>You see, yesterday Old Spice&#8217;s Twitter account was taken over by <a href="http://www.theviralmarketingblog.com/tag/old-spice/">The Man You Could Smell Like</a> from their most recent and popular ads:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter" title="image" src="http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2010/02/25/alg_old_spice_isaiah_mustafa.jpg" alt="" width="291" height="219" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And what happened was, for the day, he was replying to tweets or comments with videos on Youtube. And it was awesome!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This is a brilliant campaign, and this kind of interactivity with the character/ad is something that brings a big engagement for the brand.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It all started with a tweet in the morning:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">Today could be just like the other 364 days you log into twitter, or maybe the Old Spice man shows up @<a style="text-decoration: none; color: #bd2000; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;" rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/OldSpice">OldSpice</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-2569"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Soon after, he replied to a tweet from Attack of the Show&#8217;s @kpereira, with this:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/js9d48G9HSI&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/js9d48G9HSI&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">How cool is that??</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It was followed by a reply to Olympic Medalist Apolo Anton Ohno:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NArRLDIIQsI&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NArRLDIIQsI&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Then a reply to Jason Keath (Founder of @SoFresh):</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/16QayksWEJo&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/16QayksWEJo&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>So far, all the replies were to somewhat influent people on the social internet world. But then started the replies to random people who either tweeted something about the ad or commented on the videos.</p>
<p>This first one was to @GirlLooksSwell:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CIj5mTCtxZk&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CIj5mTCtxZk&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Then another random commenter:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cHrXKg2Fk5k&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cHrXKg2Fk5k&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>But then back to a big internet personality, Digg&#8217;s founder Kevin Rose:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/So5yDtITswY&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/So5yDtITswY&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>This is extremely smart: interacting (almost in real time, videos every 5 minutes) going after people with influence to spread further the word, but also giving a lot of joy to anonymous commenters and twitter users.</p>
<p>The result was more than a 100 videos (go <a href="http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=oldspice#g/u">here</a> to watch some more), with millions of views spread over all of them, in just a single day!</p>
<p>There are plenty of others noteworthy, and providing us with a rich mythology for this character, but we finish with this one:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_-fLV28SkZ8&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_-fLV28SkZ8&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>She said Yes!</p>

<p>It seems now that video (The Slide) was just one part of this new campaign &#8211; Fast Lane &#8211; to promote their new Polo GTI, and there are two more videos making the rounds now.</p>
<p>One of them, going viral today, is The Shopping Carts.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jEcbkusXUlo&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jEcbkusXUlo&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>It had 177.000 views in 13 days.</p>
<p>The other one, with 290.000 views, is The Elevator:</p>
<p><span id="more-2488"></span></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yPztb-c16as&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yPztb-c16as&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>And if you don&#8217;t remember, here&#8217;s the first of the campaign that started to go viral last week, The Slide (which already had more than 800.000 views by now):</p>
<p><object id="v" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="317" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="align" value="middle" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="src" value="http://wooshii.com/vid/4186_1276857003.flv/480/317/4186/887/0" /><param name="name" value="v" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="false" /><embed id="v" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="317" src="http://wooshii.com/vid/4186_1276857003.flv/480/317/4186/887/0" name="v" bgcolor="#000000" quality="high" allowfullscreen="false" allowscriptaccess="always" align="middle"></embed></object><br />

<p>What this means is Volkswagen understood the value coming out of their virals, and how to create clever, fun videos.</p>

<p>That video was never seen anywhere again, but a video that is beeing seen a lot this past days is another one for another 3D TV &#8211; Sony Bravia.</p>
<p>It features brazillian player Kaka and the timing of the Word Cup is no coincidence.</p>
<p>Had 120.000 views in 5 days. Also, check the equally interesting behind the scenes after.</p>
<p>For now, check the actual ad:</p>
