Making music with Tic Tacs

My viral video alarm is going off like mad, so I’m not as impressed as I would be if this were just a bit more spontaneous. Still, it’s kinda neat I guess. [via]

Running from the police on a skateboard

July 20, 2009 @ 3:44 pm

This viral video comes from Converse (courtesy of Anomaly in New York). It shows a skateboarder (wearing Converses of course) being tailed by a police helicopter in pursuit from a crime scene. The kid on the skateboard ends up skating all day through the city of Los Angeles only to meet an unspecified fate in the end…

Thanks AnimalNY.

Never Hide Films creates viral videos for Ray-Ban

January 20, 2009 @ 4:53 pm

If you’ve been anywhere online recently, you may have seen the viral video above of a cow giving birth to a man (or a “dude”, if you will). The video is from a group called Never Hide Films that creates viral “shock” videos and puts them on YouTube. Another video from the same group has just been released today and it is called “Green Screen Guy”. In it, a man in a green-screen-colored suit wreaks havoc on unsuspecting people because they cannot see him.

Now, this being YouTube, I immediately had a suspicion that these videos were purposely made to go viral. I couldn’t help but notice that in each video, the man is wearing sunglasses. As it turns out, these two videos were made to promote Ray-Ban sunglasses. So enjoy these two videos for what they are, but don’t be surprised if you end up looking at Ray-Ban sunglasses a different way after this.
