Ms. Taken

Ok, so how many of you are familiar with The Lonely Island? I only feel like highlighting "Jizz in my Pants" because someone has decided to parody the video in an awesome attempt to market a new product. See below.



Ms. Taken is a new product for "all the single ladies" out there. Wow ok enough YouTube linkage. But seriously, this Ms. Taken thing is for real. And I never thought seeing girls puke could be so hot.

Mentos and...Carlsberg?

Found this on a blog done by two guys I'm working with here.

"We all know what happens when you put Mentos in Diet Coke, but what about Carlsberg?"

You can tell by the way I use my blog...

We just launched this today. Open to thoughts. Anyone want a free razor?

A viral that mocks a viral?? Oh Mini... you're so clever

I thought it was well done.

Gatorthirst

In the spirit of the Gator videos below, and a classic fake ad that was actually once parodied for a real ad, I give you this:

Twitter Video

Since I was having problems this week with posting my video (and the link to it) here it is on YouTube. Here's hoping this works *fingers crossed*

Baa

Now this is good viral marketing:



It reminds me of the brilliance behind the Bravia ads: take a simple idea, then blow it up as big as you can.

On another note, here is your pointless and frankly mystifying (even if you understand Japanese) commercial from Japan.
...but that song is quite catchy...

Needs a passafire holster...

Clearly I'm on a song parody kick, or they just keep coming across my radar... Enjoy!

If you watch college hoops or need a good laugh...

A Classic, Remixed.

Some things are still absolutely hilarious, even when someone goes through and changes it up for us. This is literally never a let down.

Got my hata blockas on YouTube

Ok, saw this on AdFreak. Really cool video done for Ray Ban back in 2007. Don't know how many of you have seen this before or not, but I wanted to share:



They've come back around this year with some more videos. I don't think they're nearly as good. In fact, they're weird. Here's one:



More videos with people doing things in Ray Bans:
Guys with mobile disco

Green screen guy

Guy sings and dances while bartender does flips and jumps off fence, amongst other things

Guy running around with really tall ice cream cone

Microsoft is cool (to make fun of)

Ok, if you haven't heard of Songsmith or seen the ridiculously long, even more ridiculously terrible ad for it, here it is:


I present that to you to tell you this: Songsmith is shockingly popular. It would appear that Microsoft has finally done something cool. Oh, wait. Everyone is using Songsmith to show just how absolutely terrible it is. There are tons of great songs on youtube that have been redone using Songsmith, with terrible results. See a few below. I bet Microsoft never intended for their product to be used by so many solely to point out how terrible it is.









Ugh, not all of them will allow embed, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVMfpne6aEc. And there are plenty more where that came from!

Merry Christmas to all! (Even you Nicole!)

This is a really smart video by One Laptop Per Child. I'd urge everyone to pass it on.

DO NOT FORGET

So over a year ago, Lauren discovered this site: isitchristmas.com

Last year, on December 26th we remembered to check it, to no avail, and have been living in despair and regret ever since.

We have no idea what happens on Christmas. So if you get a chance, PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO CHECK.

Beware the Doghouse

Found this on Ad Age today, talk about putting a metaphor to work.

This idea is phenomenal. They built a site too, which plays hand in had with the video above. Why no one thought of this before, is beyond me.

Give the Gift of Cash

Help out a friend and a creative viral video!!

Euro RSCG Chicago is trying to make this video most viewed today. It's a clever video for Western Union... watch it and pass it along!

Thanks :)

Another reason I love Chipotle

I was looking at Chipotle's website, and there's this floating burrito with rain coming out of it.


When you mouse-over it, it has lightning.


When you click:




Two of my favorite things: Chipotle and the Chocolate Rain meme, combined!

Math is undeniable.

Bruce Lee = Kung fu = Awesome

Nokia = Phone

Bruce Lee + Nokia = Awesome Phone

Right? Nokia's latest viral spots:

Terry Tate is back!

I'm sure all, if not most of you have seen this video of Katie Couric interviewing Sarah Palin:



So in turn, I looked into www.ReturnofTerryTate.com and found this video:



Who doesn't want his job?
