A young boy experiences the Power of the Force on his own driveway. Almost all things are resistant to the Force, however the all new Passat can be influenced from the outside. This great video has been watched almost 4 million times within 2 days!! Is it due to the power of Volkswagen or the Force?

Who said art was for the dull, might consider that thought after seeing this video. Google, a true advocate of sharing knowledge has launched a new project with some of the best museums in the world. Using Google’s Street View technology  they opened the doors for a free and absolutely brilliant tour among their treasures. Visitors are able zoom in to an unbelievable depth where every single detail on a masterpiece can be seen. Traveling from museum to museum was never that easy. The video is online since January 28th and had 640,000+ viewers.

Last week we could see the first official trailer of “The Black Mamba” in Viral Friday’s  top 5.  Following up on the original trailer this week comes the second official trailer. The second part maintains a similar approach with the addition of one key element. This time it features the music star, Kanye West, playing the role of “The Boss”. This trailer made by Nike and directed by Robert Rodriguez has since 30 January 258.701 views.

4. Volkswagen Commercial: Black Beetle

Don’t get confused, neither this video nor the trailer are part of a new entomological documentary series from Discovery Channel or Animal Planet. As well as it’s not another Bug’s Life movie. With an amazing  320K views since put live on the second of February, this new Volkswagen Beetle commercial has already won a number of YouTube honors. And the best part – you can see the new VW Beetle this Sunday, 6th of February. Looking forward!

5. Messi Adizero F50

There’s a plenty of soccer tricks and then there’s awesome freestyle stuff as well. But this new video from Adidas shows famous football player Lionel Messi messing with a kind of a different stunt – juggling the brand new adizero f50. Pretty impressive, isn’t it? This sneak preview of a new Adidas football campaign has already 66K views since the 1st of February. And hopefully this video won’t inspire someone to create an alike ad for ice skating shoes…but, you never know.
