Viral Friday: Elf Yourself

Written by Niels Bellaar on December 7th, 2007 | 3 comments

Viral Friday is the weekly viral video chart of ViralBlog, showing the 10 most popular viral videos, commercials or user-generated videos, carefully selected and ranked by popularity, viral impact & spread.

This week’s Viral Friday #1 position goes to OfficeMax with Elf Yourself. After last years huge success OfficeMax launched the popular Elf Yourself once more. Last year ElfYourself.com got 36 million hits in just five weeks. This year Elf Yourself is going to be a direct Christmas hit once again, so it seems. The runner up spot is for L.A.A.F. (Liberation Army Against Freedom). The ‘terrorists’ of the Liberation Army Against Freedom warn us for the dangers of improper use of fireworks. Here Comes Another Bubble by The Richter Scales completes this week’s top 3. The San Francisco based band sees another internet bubble is on the way and made a hilarious video with several well known figures from the Web 2.0 world.

Do you want to see this week’s list from 1 to 10? Go on then, and have a look! We’d like to hear your opinion about the virals. Have fun!

X-mas thoughts are overtaking the Internet. So is Green Thing, a not-for-profit online community that lectures each month in an inspiring and entertaining way.
Check out December’s viral guerrilla video to see how Mary and Joseph did the green thing. December’s green thing is all about buying an old thing, not a new thing.

The monthly Green Things are suggested with content from a growing community of writers, musicians, designers, directors and artists – pro and am, young and old.
