3. Battlefield 3 Guillotine Gameplay Teaser

Six years after Battlefield 2 the third installment in the series is about to be released next month. Ever since Battlefield 3 got announced practically every Battlefield 3 video has gone viral. This clearly shows how popular and highly anticipated BF3 actually is. Publisher EA is bringing out the big guns with these trailers taking Activision’s Call of Duty franchise head on. The cinematic feel and level of realism is just mind blowing. This video has been online since 9 sep and already has 1.634.000 views! Let the clash between the FPS titans begin!

4. Two and a Half Men – Manly Men

The promo for the new season of a US TV show Two and a Half Men is very popular with YouTube viewers, after being uploaded on September 12 and has already more than 1.000.000 views. The promo with Ashton Kutcher, who is taking place of Charly Sheen. The new season starts on September 19th on CBS.

5. Madonna’s Love Letter To Hydrangeas

Last week the rather insignificant “news” about Madonna reacting to an “hydrangeas offering” at the Venice film festival got quite the buzz and some responses from those who found the video humorous to those who found the video to be a bit, let’s say strange. The only interesting part of this all non-story was Madonna’s reaction with his video that is sort of an answer to the previous one. So far the video has more 739.000 views. Enjoy Madonna’s humor.
