<p>The dog in this video is so well trained and synchronized with the man, so human-like sometimes, that one can&#8217;t feel to wonder if this could possibly be fake? (adding to this, it&#8217;s the only video on this user&#8217;s Youtube account).</p>
<p>Maybe not, but either way it got 1.5 million views in just 5 days, which is very impressive.</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>It really seems like a viral for a brand (the type of content, camera work), but we can&#8217;t figure out for what brand and nobody spoke yet saying it was their viral, so it&#8217;s all a bit mysterious to us at this point.</p>
<p>Anyway, it has become a sure viral hit, with 1.5 million views in just a week, which is impressive.</p>
<p>If you have further information, do let us know.</p>
<p>Goes without saying you should NOT try this at home!</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s the video:</p>

<p>In the video description, he states that a &#8220;full video&#8221; will be coming up, but we could certainly see this becoming a trend with other artists, releasing a &#8220;lyric video&#8221; as he calls it before the <em>actual </em>official video.</p>
<p>Of course if the song is good, it&#8217;s easier, and this one is!</p>

<p>This one &#8211; Pomparkour &#8211; is a mixture of Parkour and ladders, and was done as part of a viral campaign for New Zeland energy drink <a href="www.vrepublic.co.nz ">Republic of V</a>.</p>
<p>It could in theory be a real sport (and we can imagine some nuts starting doing it), but as far as we can tell, it was created just for this campaign.</p>
<p>The main video got almost half a million views on Youtube since 16th of July:</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/2S0J1wsfRw8?fs=1&amp;hl=pt_PT" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2S0J1wsfRw8?fs=1&amp;hl=pt_PT" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Amazing right?</p>
<p>This fake sports trend in virals can be explained due to the fact that these are usually strange and make people awe and take a second look, thus making them more willing to share with friends.</p>
<p>There are more videos on their account, but another good one is following that shows the guys practicing and shots with cables before they&#8217;re taken down on a computer, where they&#8217;re doing very dangerous things.</p>

<p>Everyone will want to have their say, and so that they do, they have to see the video. Also, they are going to show it to friends and family so they can hear their opinion aswell. This jumps the views tremendously.</p>

<p>And remember one of so-called viral video rules of keeping a video short if you want it to make viral: not if you&#8217;re a huge celebrity like Lady Gaga. This video runs at almost 10 minutes. And the music doesn&#8217;t even start at the 3rd minute count.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the sort of thing Lady Gaga has used us to, some weirdness, some exccentricity etc.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s more data for you besides the views:<br />
- 4,198 blog posts<br />
- 83,795 comments<br />
- 10,427 tweets</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a lot. All this make this video a huge viral hit.</p>
<p>Even more data &#8211; languages it&#8217;s beeing spread:<br />
- 54% English<br />
- 26% Portuguese<br />
- 11% Spanish<br />
- 9% Danish</p>
<p>So if you haven&#8217;t seen it yet, catch it after the break:</p>
