What a great way to promote the new Madden video game. Madden crushes the videos adjacent to his video ad. Not the first use of an ad interacting with surrounding content, but a brilliant application. Hats off to the agency. Dare you identify yourself?
This friggin’ awesome. This video played over and over could make a terrorist cave, and without the ethical implications of water boarding. I beg you to subject people to it. It’s by the people that brought you this EPIC burger/fries video.
I’m a bit late on my online-video predictions for 2010 (unless you count this December post). The landscape continues to change, and it seems the world has been slow to catch up with my 2008 and 2009 predictions. Heck I even made a video in 2006 predicting 2007. Here’s what I’m seeing in Online Video…
Mediocrefilm‘s Greg Benson, who produces The Retarded Policeman, gives us a hilarious candid-camera style parody of the “Free Hugs” campaign (which has been seen more than 40 million times).
Sorry, online-video stars of 2011 and 2012. Seems your future is “asymptotical,” according to this report by SFGate titled “Inside Google’s Boot Camp for Viral Video Stars.” The New York Times covered the recent program for the “chosen” YouTube Partners that were selected as YouTube NextUp winners (see explanation of program). Yeah I had to…
AdAge and Visible Measures reports that this Burger King “Square Butts” Spongebob parody of “Big Butts” is the third most “viral” commercial of the week. And this makes me so very sad.

Yup, even I noticed that ad. Pretty neat.
The next time they do a “sexy ladies have one CRAZY night” movie, they should have the stars dressed as hookers soliciting the Spotlight videos.
Freestyle Interactive 🙂
Peter – far too clever and funny. Jeez man, I’m starting my day here trying to catch up. Jerk. 🙂
I like butter.
I have to agree it was a pretty cool ad. I don’t really care about the product they’re advertising, but it’s nice to have ads that are clever instead of irritating.
I thought it was pretty cool too. Apparently Madden is a pretty cool game. Not being a gamer, I really couldn’t care less, but still a cool ad.
Ditto to 1, 6 and 7
anyone have a link?
So Kevin will never wear his Nalts cap again after he gets this forehead hair. Isn’t that going to be strange?

You’re joking, right?
