It says. Most amusing thing about the article — a refusal to discuss entry number 3.
Is “numa numa” the mayahe mayahaha guy?
Also...
A TV news clip from 1970 of an exploding whale—in which giant pieces of whale blubber rained down on people a quarter of a mile away—has been viewed 350 million times and earned its own website.
Someone please show me where I can find this!
Hint — check ‘Related Internet Links’ on that page. And yes, that’s the guy.
Channel boss Steve North said: “It’s now official—with viewing figures like this, virals truly are the entertainment of the future.
so it’s only a matter of time until someone, somehow, finds a way of squeezing money out of the life of it all. ie steve north.
I’d love to be the boss at one of those viral ad firms just so I could say something snappy like “Our ads are getting trounced by a retard swinging a stick”
star wars kid is shit, did people actually think it funny?
numa numa 4 ever
[tropico_sensitivitytraining.jpg]
Neither one is all that funny.
1. Star Wars Kid (900m)—funny how he really goes for it, but I don’t understand why it’s so huge
2. Numa Numa (700m)—awesome
3. One Night In Paris (400m)—is this a tourism video or something?
4. Kylie Minogue for Agent Provocateur (360m)—is this the rodeo bull thing?
5. The Exploding Whale (350m)—old skool lolz
=6. John West Salmon Bear Fight (300m)—funny first time I saw it I suppose
=6. Trojan Games (300m)—???
8. Kolla2001 (200m)—piss
9. AfroNinja (80m)—sub You’ve Been Framed but I laughed anyway—the 2nd fall makes it
10. The Shining Redux (50m)—???
BUBB RUBB & LIL SIS
The exploding whale clip was one of the first viral things going round the net—I remember reading about it in Fortean Times in the early 90s, complete with the addresses of a few FTP servers which had it.
Imagine knowing that 400 million people have seen your fanny.
the hell is the Night in Paris thing?
hint: it involves butter.
and Paris Hilton
I’ve only seen the first, after reading about them on ILX.
Is Numa Numa Guy the dude singing along to Dragostin Din Tei or whatever its called?
Yup.
Okay, I just watched “Afrp Ninja”. Wasn’t really worth it.
I find it weird that people seem to relate “Dragostea Din Tei” to that video, because it was major hit way before that... Though not in the US, probably.
And I think it’s probably the most perfect pop hit of the 00’s.
Plus it’s own video is better than that kid.
johoshea OTM. No Bubb Rubb, no credibility.
I’ve not seen any of them!
Me 1—Popular Culture 0.
WOOO WOOOO!
oh wait a min, the paris one is the zombie fucking one, right?
also, where’s the “leprechaun whistle/sighting” one?
people were getting the paris hilton thing e-mailed to them for free when i had to walk into the video store and buy it wil real money?
kf, do you mean this one?
if that’s the “leprechaun sighting” one, then yeah.
