Videos 5 Jan
Another year, another Monday, another list of popular product videos from YouTube. I missed the last one of the last year as there were none, absolutely none in the list. But if you want to see some of the top videos from last year, those that were watched by millions, then Feed Company has a great round up of the ones that they think are the best. The include 2 Nike videos (from 2 different agencies) with Nike Football Take it to the Next Level and Kobe jumping over cars, the Nintendo Wii take over of a YouTube page and the third installment ofWhere the Hell is Matt as their top choice. I’m guessing that all of these videos had a seeding budget behind them – they were made for web video and were promoted to get the right amount of traction and views.
Back to the video views for last week. The highest ranking product video is not there because it’s a current product but because the video got ‘re-discovered’, got posted to a huge number of blogs and is currently appealing to the type of mind that find things called the ‘Wunder Boner‘ funny. For a $5 gadget, it’s getting a lot of attention but I don’t think it’ll be translating to sales. The video posted is from Fail Blog, who actually have a LOT of videos in the top ranked list, from commercials to just your regular silly phone vid.
Blendtec’s Will it Blend is getting into Top Gear territory with their latest. Tom Dickson, their presenter, has bought himself a new Nissan GTR and takes ‘the world’s strongest blender’ for a spin in the ‘world’s fastest production car’. He’s not quite for the chat of Clarkson and co but he makes a good effort
The next commercial has been added to YouTube by Heineken as well (well, it could be them, not sure), but their version is not the one getting the views. The copy below has been posted by Illegal Advertising
