This week’s Viral Friday #1 position goes to Old Spice. After “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” Old Spice now has a new viral hit with “Questions”. The runner up spot is for Patrick Boivin. A month ago we featured “Iron Baby”, this time Patrick takes on Star Wars’ AT-AT. Amazing animation! iPhone4 VS HTC Evo completes this week’s top 3. There is hardly any way around this video; Apple fanboy versus HTC lover.

1. Old Spice – Questions
Old Spice won awards with “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” and after several (still successful but not through the roof) other Old Spice ads Wieden+Kennedy now made the above “Questions”. Uploaded to YouTube last Tuesday and already over 1.1 million views. Definitely the most viral video this week.
2. AT-AT Day Afternoon
Four weeks ago Patrick Boivin scored the number 1 position in Viral Friday with his “Iron Baby” video, and now he takes on another movie character, Star Wars’ All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT). Posted on YouTube and Vimeo Patrick’s latest creation got around 1.1 million views since June 27. In this video the French Canadian director shows what AT-ATs do when they’re not being used to battle the Rebel Alliance, and that may not be exactly what you expect.
3. iPhone 4 VS HTC Evo
There is hardly any way around this video. iPhone 4 vs HTC Evo was uploaded to YouTube a week ago and already gotten over 1.5 million views as well as lots of exposure around in the blogosphere. The video is hilarious; depicting a phone store employee and an ignorant iPhone lover. The guy who made the video and works at Best Buy selling mobile phones, Brian Maupin, may have lost his job over this video. Apparently, his boss didn’t think the video was funny… For all iPhone lovers Brian, A.K.A Tinywatchproductions, released a second video: HTC Evo vs iPhone 4!
4. LYNX Rise: Jessica Jane Clement
Apparently girls like a man who can remember all those little details. But first thing in the morning that’s not always easy… In this video Lynx (also known as Axe) shows why former Playboy model Jessica Jane Clement‘s clueless man could have used some of that new Lynx Rise Shower Gel. If you like it, have a look at the Facebook page or at the Lynx YouTube channel to catch the rest of the ads. The video got almost 400,000 views since June 25.
5. French Orangina Commercial
One of the reasons the internet is so incredibly awesome is that you can watch cool commercials that have been banned from TV. In this case, you’d better get ready for some serious eyebrow raising: the new Orangina campaign. Orangina has always been quite original in advertising, but this video goes beyond that. We see a cougar finishing up on shaving and using Orangina as an after shave. Next, his (human) boyfriend comes in to check out the result. The ad has been banned from TV for being too ‘polemic’ and has been viewed almost 300.000 times on-line.
