1. LEAKED Apple iPhone 5 Video

Nearly every year Apple comes with new product releases. Up untill the day of the World Wide Developer Congress (WWDC) no one knows exactly what Apple is going to reveal. The day after the congress, speculations and rumors of new Apple products are flying across the internet. The ritual was no different for the expected iPhone 5: new connector, bigger screen, better camera, etc. And now here it is: The New iPhone 5, made to create an illusion for a filling life! The 2,8 Million views in five days really shows that many are waiting for any iPhone 5 confirmation.

2. Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Pink

The Dutch brothers from Talltales are not only talented movie makes but they also have a good sense of humour. After one of the brothers hacked the Facebook page of the other, his brother decided to get even by giving his bedroom a secret girlie makeover complete with Justin Bieber posters. The video prank was an instant success with over 3 million views in 1 week. You can check their other work on social channels like Facebook.

3. James Franco, The Ultimate Multitasker

Samsung is imitating Apple also in making really bad advertising videos. But they do it so over the top that it might just work. James Franco uses the Galaxy Note to do everything, multitasking genius in the making (who says only woman can multitask?). With typical Franco style the message come across with a big grain of salt. 1.4 million views in 5 days is saying something.

4. Nelly Furtado Gangnam Style!!

If you haven’t yet heard “Gangnam Style“, the viral Korean pop-rap hit by PSY, be prepared, because the word for it is definitely “viral.” “Gangnam Style” is an infectious song, one of those pushy worldwide phenoms: inescapable, trashy and explosive. The song was released earlier in the summer, and so far has over 50 million views on YouTube. The song is so ubiquitous that the Gangnam virus has infected Nelly Furtado. She did a cover version of the song in her concert in Manila. The cover video has achieved in 1 week more than 500k views. Enjoy Nelly’s Gangnam Style!

5. Running With The Bulls

How do test a new app in today’s modern world? Well, in the case of Hotels.com you head to Pamplona, Spain and have Señor Andy Bell book his hotel while running with the bulls. It looks really spectacular, so it’s no wonder it went viral with over 300.000 views in 1 week. The running with bulls is the second viral video by ad agency Y&R for Hotels.com, the first Extreme Booking was a skydiving adventure where a Mr. JT Holmes went skydiving in Lake Tahoe and successfully booked a hotel room on with his mobile app before he landed.
