As promised, I have put together a list of the best viral clips on the internet. However, mine is a very loose interpretations of "viral". Most of these weren't videos that were intended solely for the web. My theory is if they are on the net now, they qualify. It doesn't matter if I originally saw them on television or elsewhere.
I had initially intended to knock out all of the top 15 in one post. Then I realized that it would be one very long entry if I did that. I know folks' attention spans can get around this time of year so I broke it up into three separate entries instead. Thus, the trilogy. Have fun with numbers 15 thru 11...
15. PS3
There are a few PS3 spots featuring this guy Kevin Butler, VP of Enough is Enough. They're all pretty good, but this one really cracks me up with the overall theme. Not mention Kevin taking it home with his last line...
14. Geico
The exaggerated accent is what really makes this one classic. Oh..and the fact that it's a talking pothole...
13. The Muppets
No clue how old this is, but it has to be relatively recent because there's a reference to video conferencing and the Kermit's voice doesn't sound like the Frank Oz original. Nevertheless, it reminds you that the Muppets are timeless. And that Animal is the TRUTH...
12. Happy Cows
I had to double check to see what product they were trying to sell. It's been a minute since I've seen this commercial on television. I don't know why though because it was brilliant. Not brilliant enough to make me want to go the stores looking for Real California Milk, but a great commercial nonetheless...
11. LeBron & Kobe puppets
Nike did has done nearly a dozen spots with these Kobe and LeBron puppets. There is even a video out there that is a non-stop 9-minute compilation of all of them put together. That was a bit lengthy for my tastes. Plus, when I looked thru it, this was the one that stood out the most.
