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.
One of the most popular YouTube creators, “Renetto,” has been discussing a revolution, and aspirations to create a new website for unmet online-video community. The new site, a homage to Paul Robinette’s self absorption, is aptly titled “RenettoTube.” I announced the new site in this video from last weekend (see launch video). Oh- and I…
It’s 2006 meets 1975. A viral video (courtesy of ViralVideoChart.com) that has its own laugh track. Groan.
It’s years old, but it’s still one of my favorite online videos. In “Sound-a-Vision,” watch Homestar runner and his enemy Strongbad have a duel to settle their battle over the remaining parsnips at the depot.

@4 this particular video instructs them on where to put it.
Least you can’t say TV isn’t educational.
