I recently found this collection of entries to the Poptent.net “Sour Then Sweet” campaign for Sour Patch Kids. While I can appreciate why cannibalism might have been too risque for the folks at Cadbury, I think they’re certainly bold, entertaining and memorable enough to get the WillVideoForFood “honorable mention” award.
Don’t you? CHOMP. Hats off to Wonderful Color, Trunstyle, and iCohen.
Time to test out your “is it real or fake” instincts. Watch this video where a random Verizon caller is surprised when that Verizon Wireless “Can You Hear Me Now” guy shows up with an army of Verizon people personifying the Verizon network. Is it truly candid, or is our “victim” an actor? Shaky camera…
Last week I attended the Independent Feature Project (IFP)’s event in NYC, and was intrigued by some of the questions independent film makers were asking about online video. So here are some thoughts for aspiring film makers who are asking themselves the question, “how can I take advantage of the emerging online video space?” Ken…
So he was indeed an emu. And . He hasn’t exactly been a viral sensation, but the emu I caught on tape is back with its owner. And he’s currently the 6th top-rated comedy of the day on YouTube. Which is probably more publicity than he would have gotten had stayed home. To see video,…
It’s not often my boss mentions YouTube, and I usually try to avoid eye contact when he does. But at today’s staff meeting he mentioned that a friend from a former employer had a YouTube video called “Here Comes Another Bubble” by The Richter Scales. It’s a wonderful satire on the absurdity of web 2.0…
In its ultimate technical glitch, YouTube accidentally featured my “Viral Video Genius.” As we know, a YouTube feature makes or breaks a career. In the next hours I’ll be watching (from the poolside on Vacation) as the ratings roll in. And I’m anticipating an incredible amount of hate mail on the account. This video is…
As the plot continues in the GooTubeConspiracy, I needed to “fake my own death to throw off my stalkers.” So I called the viral video special-effects guru, Davideo Design. If you haven’t seen Pepsi Mentos Girl, then drop what you’re doing and visit his site immediately. Disturbing, funny and compelling content. Here’s Davideo’s page on…

SWEET! You just gave me an exceptional idea for my next disgusting habit. Just gotta get me some fava beans and a nice chianti.
WTF!! That’s a REal commercial for the Candy?? Half Naked People eating each other. That’s get’s my “Stuff a Sock in It” Award!
It is clever if it was an Adult Parody. Next thing you know cats and dogs will be laying next to each other!!
That was a deeply disturbing experience, Nalts. I don’t think those too-zoomed in closeup shots of them shakily eating each other could have been much more disconcerting than they were. Plus, the face that the orange man in the 3rd one made in the improper context did not suggest that his shoulder had been just eaten. It looked like something else.
Plus, I’m pretty sure I saw the red guy’s pubes when he sat down. I saw something!
