YouTube Heroes: Improv Everywhere

Improv everywhere call themselves a prank collective that cause scenes of and joy in public places. Previously I featured their No Pants Subway ride and I have now stumbled upon a few more of their clips and will share them with you. The impromptu musicals are definitely my favourite but they are all brilliant.

Charlie Brooker’s brilliant poem about The Sun Newspaper and Witch Hunts on 10 O’Clock live

When I first saw 10 O’Clock Live advertised I was very excited by the prospect of a show featuring comedian Jimmy Carr, David Mitchell (of the brilliant Peep Show among other things) and Charlie Brooker (who I became a fan of after watching Black Mirror last year). I only watched about half of the first episode before changing the channel. The show was too scripted and the brilliance of all the aforementioned men seemed to have been watered down into something more acceptable for TV. It was all very disappointing.  However Brooker’s poem about The Sun Newspaper and witch hunts featured in this clip is pretty awesome and has successfully encouraged me to give the show a second chance.

Old Spice Powerful Campaign featuring Terry Crews: Vending Machine commercial

Another winner here from Old Spice and Terry Crews for the Powerful campaign. It features Crews transforming an average man into a powerful Pharaoh. He then inexplicably explodes and changes into a vending machine, I love it. Here are the Links to previous adverts from the campaign that I have featured:

Old Spice Powerful campaign with Terry Crews Bowling head commercial

This is another advert from the Old Spice Powerful Campaign. It features the weird reverse bowling detached head of spokesman Terry Crews reattaching to his body before being blown off again by the new powerful Old Spice in a can. As you’d expect from an Old Spice commercial its pretty funny (I think Terry Crews may be my hero).  To see my previous posts about the campaign click here for Mind Blown commercial and here for the Bounce commercial.

YouTube Hero: Will it Blend?

Will it blend is a viral campaign that was set up to promote Blendtec blenders by its founder Tom Dickson in 2006 and it is still running successfully. Tom blends random everyday objects and places the videos on YouTube. The campaign has been a major success resulting in a cult like following for Tom and Will It Blend. I have featured some of my favourites below.

Durex Sync commercial

In the spirit of Valentines day this is the Durex sync commercial. There is nothing like a little Marvin Gaye (and Durex) on Valentine’s day.
