Filed Under Viral Examples | posted by Ricardo Fonseca | 29/01/2010 13:33


This week, on viral content, has been very much dominated with iPad videos, most of them spoofs but not all.

So let's get the not-iPad virals out of the way and then get on it.

One of them earlier this week was another "dancing inmates" Michael Jackon choreography, this time to promote the DVD release of This Is It. It got 2.2 million views in 6 days.

The next video is for a video for AIDS prevention awareness, and has also been shared a lot this week (gone viral since the end of last one) and in this short amount of time already got more than 3 million views (beware, NSFW).

Then Apple's iPad was unveiled on wednesday, and many of the videos going viral were on the subject (many fake before it, and then most spoofs).

One of them, just starting to go viral yesterday but already with 720.000 views, is the inevitable Hitler parody.



Besides the also obvious official video presentation of the iPad (also gone viral), a sketch from Mad TV from 2007, where they spoofed the iPhone coming up with a product named iPad (again, this in 2007) was shared a lot this week:

Finally, Wooshii member Whirled Creative have a video going viral in the past 24 hours (done for Barely Political, and with 40.000 views overnight) that mashes-up the iPad presentation and Obama's State of the Union speech. It's been featured on Gizmodo and Techcrunch.
