1. Top Viral Marketing Videos
Advertisements tend to get a bad rap. The majority of people find that they drone
on with repetitive spiels and pushy commands that interrupt our beloved
programs. But when they are extremely creative, funny and entertaining, they are
actually sought out by the public and seen as a piece of cultural art. Not only
were people not going to great lengths to avoid these ads, they were going to
great lengths to watch them on YouTube…over and over again.

Who hasn’t seen the Old Spice Commercials? They are both hilarious and
educational—I mean what girl doesn’t want their man to be more like the Old
Spice Guy. The most quotable line is of course, “I’m on a Horse.”

When this commercial came out, it seemed to be the ad placed before every
YouTube video. The theme is all about self-improvement, which is a very
common constant goal in our society. Kind of makes you want to get out there
and use your gym membership more. Also it just me, or are those Hamsters
somewhat attractive at the end?

favorite bite-sized candy just became a little more racy. Using the very popular
song at the time “Sexy and I know it”, Red M&M shows his true colors.

The laziness of old school phones is perfectly encapsulated into a human being.
How entertaining is it to see our frustration come to life? This commercial sure
made for a very convincing reason for everyone to switch to a Moto X.

Dove has come out with several brilliant commercials that highlight a crucial
problem women face today. This demonstration video shows how much pictures
in advertisements are mostly airbrushed and altered, which has placed
insecurities in the real women who are constantly viewing them. It is hard not to
feel a wake up call when seeing this commercial. It is truly an ad that sheds a
light on how deceiving most ads can be.
