Kia first introduced their dancing hamsters back in 2009. Now they are back. They show up in a video game where robots are at war. They roll up in their Kia Soul and start dancing. That the video has over million views in such a short time again shows that children and animals work good in viral videos. The video is online since

2. 100 Years / Style / East London

YouTube Preview Image

There are many ways to introduce your target audience with your new fantastic creation. But if you have a 22,000m2 large creation, you might want to pull off something as large as that in your promotion. In Stratford London (UK) a new shopping mall is arising. Instead of bombarding the people with info, the creators decided to share their impression of 100 years of style in East London. The result? An animating point of view with loads of different clothes-styles. The video is up since August 26th and had more than 600,000 views!

3. Foo Fighters – Hot Buns (uncensored)

This video is rated for 18 years and older. After seeing this video we know why! The Foo Fighters give their  impression on what’s happening in the stop and go showers for truckers. It seems that they are preparing thoroughly for a special event. And a special event it is! This viral is an introduction to their new North America Tour! The Foo Fighters understood that having a shocking or compelling video works much better than a leaflet. The video is up since August  29th and more than 283,000 views!

4. Jennifer Lopez – Just Another Day At The Office

When thinking about Jennifer Lopez in the first place you think about singing and dancing, but she is busy with other things also like perfumes, restaurant, and even a production company. The latest of her ventures include a clothing line called ‘Jennifer Lopez collection’, available at Kohls department stores. The video that she has made to promote this has gone viral with close to 250.000 views in only 3 days.

5. Anderson Silva ♥ Mega BK Stacker – BURGER KING

Here we have the undisputed number 1 for this week, lowered down to the last position. Reason? At the moment of writing, this viral has an issue with copyrights on the music. All that’s left is a silent video. Burger King created a very funny way to make a tribute to one of their success-stories, the Mega Burger Stacker. Too bad the music is deleted, because we can assure you, it was a watertight connection.  The video is up since August 24th and had more than 1.5 million views! Want to find out which song was used? The Chinese still have it.
