Viral Video: First Kiss vs. First Sniff

I am a huge fan of viral videos…

Let me rephrase that. I am a huge fan of funny viral videos. Often if I catch a good one first thing in the morning it sets the tone for a great day.

This week I was overwhelmed by the amount of people watching the “FIRST KISS “video experiment where people who had just met kissed for the first time on film. Meh.

I got about 40 seconds in as I forced myself to watch it write this blog. I usually try to not be ignorant about things other people love when I view them but for the duration of the video (that I watched) I was unimpressed. Worse than unimpressed actually, I didn’t care. Yeah, it is worse. When you are unimpressed you still feel something, on my level I just sighed and wanted it to end. Clearly (to me) anyone who has watched this video and marveled at its beauty would go ape-shit over a night watching the dance floor at a university town bar.  

I’m not going to post it here, that is how little I care. I usually put that effort in for you so that you can see what I mean and then hopefully agree with me. Not this time folks. Google it yourself, it will take about 5 seconds to find.

On a much more interesting note, my viral video of the week (and maybe even the month) is a parody of that video. It is what happens when dogs kiss for the first time. Hide your kids, things get wild.

Animal instincts are much more fun than humans.

Here you go, its “First Sniff” a dog snuff film.

Viral Video Gone Wrong: Life Size Chucky

A couple of weeks ago I presented you with a viral video that was made to promote a upcoming horror movie called ‘Devil’s Due’. That video was terrifying, this viral video is just wrong.

I think the team promoting the new Chucky movie was severely misguided by pulling out this campaign. I have a feeling that some of these people are acting, no matter the video is not as funny as the man laughing in the background.

I think this video really crossed the line by having Chucky chase after these poor people; someone could have been seriously hurt. I hope they are all actors.

Is it too sick and twisted? I am just a huge baby? Let me know what you think!

Viral Video: Friday Roundup

Ooops.

Two blogs in a row talking about the Calgary Flames, this one is unintentional it just happened to pop up on my Twitter feed and I thought I would reflect on it. At the Flames game on Saturday night my boyfriend and I dished about which player we would not like to meet in a fight. We talk about random things all the time, this was not as odd to us as it may seem to you; his answer? Jiri Hudler.

Now, I have no desire to fight anyone. I am as soft as a marshmallow. So my answer was that any of them would beat me. Now, I am not sure the same could be said about basketball. I am pretty bad but Mr. Hudler takes it to a new level in this viral video from NBC Sportsnet. The Lakers and the Flames are both visitingPhilly and have to share the venue, as the 700 level details in this article.

Hockey gear is like second skin to anyone who plays the game, so I am not accepting that his gear made him that much worse than he would have been without it. My favourite part was the high-five, Jiri don’t care… I think he’d even high-five Tom Brady if he was around.

On second thought, I would not want to fight or play anyone in basketball. One v. one, I would get wrecked. I am horrible at both things. Especially when I get laughing, onto the next viral video from the Toronto Zoo; it is adorable.

I am a sucka. I love this panda’s response to the snow. It was the icing on the cake of my Friday. Jenny Fines and I both had a giggle and “awwweeee” moment when this popped up on our screen today.

There you are… two fresh viral videos and one not so fresh video of Tom Brady that is still good for a laugh.

Oh, almost forgot the latest round of Jimmy Kimmel's 'Celebrities Read Mean Tweets', it is not as funny as some of the others but it is still worth a watch! 

Happy Friday!

Viral Video: Budweiser's New Ad

Dogs and horses.

Two things I miss about being home. I miss my parent’s farm and my dog. I actually miss every dog in my family, my grandmother’s golden lab and my parent’s border collie. I even miss my little cousin Mitchell’s chocolate lab puppy that I have only met via Skype. Watching this new Budweiser commercial brought tears to my eyes, dogs and horses get me every time.  

I’m not sure that this will sell beer, but all I want right now is to cuddle a puppy.

Also, all of my co-workers hate me right now because I have personally either: a) sent them this commercial to watch and forced them to comment on it or b) drug them to my desk individually to watch it. I have watched it quite a few times and there is an office-wide sigh every time they hear the song start up again.

*sighs*

It is all part of my master plan to be given (aka forced) into the empty back office. 

Viral Vid: Walking Dead Zombie Prank

"Good job, ya jerk!"

I would cry if someone did this to me!

I love the Walking Dead, but it belongs on the screen in my life. I love how much effort was put into helping Walking Dead superfan Nick Santonastasso prank one of the show's stars Norman Reedus (Daryl).

If your a Walking Dead fan checkout this new show from the BBC its called 'In The Flesh' and will help you get your Zombie fix with a new spin!

Viral Vid: Seattle Seahawk's Derrick Coleman's 'Trust Your Power'

Holy crap!

Could I be anymore excited for Sunday’s NFC title game featuring the San Francisco 49ers and the team that will win the Superbowl this year, the Seattle Seahawks?

I don’t think so.

This Duracell commercial is just one of the many contributing factors pumping me up for the big day.

It quickly tells the story of Seahawk’s fullback Derrick Coleman and his quest to play in the NFL. Coleman is the first offensive player in the National Football League’s history to be legally deaf. Coleman has had virtually completely deaf since age three and uses hearing aids as part of his daily life.

For a great full look atDerrick Coleman’s story click here, FOX Sport’s Ross Jones wrote a great articleabout Coleman last week.

I hope you are as pumped as I am! I can’t wait to see everyone on February 2ndat the Selkirk Saints fundraiser Superbowl Party at the Element!

Viral Vid: Devil Baby Attack

WARNING: THIS LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY WILL HAUNT YOUR DREAMS

Holy crap!

I may not sleep tonight.  This creepy little guy, like most viral video serves a very creepy purpose. This is not your Disneyland remote-controlled animatronic; this is what I imagine is living in the dark underworld of the ‘It’s A Small World’ ride. All part of a viral campaign for the new movie Devil’s Due (due out this Friday), it makes me very happy to not live in the same country let alone state where this monstrous creation is.

Everything about this demon child is terrifying. From its dirty little face to its screeching howls, I think this could be used as a form of birth control. I bet you anything people who see this movie will not have procreating on their minds for a good long time afterwards! 

Dorothy Mantooth Is Not A Saint

I am a huge fan of the movie 'Anchorman' and I love this great clip from Funny or Die, it reminds me of watching my grandparent's favourite television court programs with them during the afternoons of my childhood. Okay, the reality of the situation is that watching 'People's Court' was  unbearable; I would change the channel every-time they left the room (even if it was only for a minute, no way in hell was I watching 'People's Court' and all those horrible Fox Rochester commercials).


Watching Champ Kind and Dorothy Mantooth go at it on the 'People's Court' is definitely worth the watch though, its the type of case my grandparents would have described as vulgar and inappropriate (the best kid). Will Champ learn a lesson about taking a rival broadcaster (Wes Mantooth)'s mother out for a fine seafood and then never calling her again? Find out by checking out this clip from Funny or Die!

If you haven't seen 'Anchorman 2' yet in theatres get out and see it today! Maybe go for a nice seafood dinner first? Make it a whole night!

Viral Video: Peanuts Inspired Flash Mob in NYC

Check out this awesome video from New York City where the team from Mashable put together this
Peanuts style flash-mob. This is the latest video in my collection of viral holiday videos this year. I am not a huge fan of Peanuts, even as a kid I didn't really like Peanuts but the theme song takes me back to getting ready every morning for school and listening to the radio (hoping that school would be cancelled). 

Thank you Mashable for your dose of Christmas Cheer!

Viral Vid: Chuck Norris Wishes You a Merry Christmas

Yes, CGI Chuck Norris is out doing real life Jean-Claude Van Damme in today’s viral video. Let’s just take a moment and grasp the overall meaning of this video and appreciate that Jean-Claude Van Damme is still totally awesome (and real), CGI Chuck Norris and his acrobatic team are show offs. With that being said, if you see a Christmas tree floating above you in the sky with two accompanying airplanes just know it is Chuck Norris, the real Chuck Norris, outdoing CGI Chuck Norris and Jean-Calude Van Damme in true Chuck Norris style to wish you a “Merry Christmas”.

Here is the original Jean-Claude Van Damme commercial:

Viral Vid: #XMASJAMMIES the Best Holiday Video of the Year

Holy crap I love this video!

I am not sure I have seen a better Christmas video this year and there have been a lot of viral Christmas videos so far this Holiday season. To be honest with you, until this video gets to the shameless plug for their new business I think this video is my favourite viral vid of the year. I am pretty jealous that my family does not have one of these videos (and that I’m not in Iron Man 3). It is also a pretty good reminder that I need to pick up some #XMASJammies, that is one Christmas tradition from Nova Scotia that I have ignored while here in the Koots and I am definitely missing the warm and fuzzy comfort of new Christmas PJs. Skyping home on Christmas Morning would be a little lame in sweatpants, Christmas Jammies are now on the top of my to do list. 

I’m going to outright say it, in a year that is lacking Holiday movies this is my favourite Christmas production of the year, hands down.  

Viral Video: 400-Pound High School Running Back

I would hate to be called ‘the fridge’ but this kid really should be embracing the nickname. Tony Picard is ahigh school senior and at 6’5 and 400lbs he is a running back that is every other team’s nightmare. Yes, young Tony Picard already is larger than the Chicago Bear’s William ‘Refrigerator’ Perry who weighed in at 355lbs while playing pro football. Picard has not decided on a college yet, but will be helping lead his high school from Yakima, Washington to the State Finals.

Big boy, eh?

Jimmy Kimmel's Halloween Candy Challenge

Jimmy Kimmel puts new meaning in the phrase taking candy from a baby… in his annual Halloween prank he has easily convinced the parents who watch his show to mess with their children by telling their kids that they have eaten all of their spoils from Halloween. I love this video; I always tried to maintain my candy stock as a child by giving my parents all the candy I didn't like and then some of their favourites. Every year as soon as we got home we would dump our bags and trade candy until there was only non-name brand candy and Oh Henry bars left. This video has gone viral for good reason today, it is so funny. 

Thank goodness my parents never did this to me!

Must Watch: Ohio State University's Marching Band's Tribute to Hollywood

You need to check out this video, yes it is long… nearly 9 minutes but it is worth it! Start after the one-minute mark and enjoy every second of Ohio State University’s Marching Band’s tribute to Hollywood. My personal favourite? Jurassic Park of course! 

So good...
