According to Business Insider this week’s top viral video’s range from a near fatal truck collision on an icy road, a woman in a bikini careering through town on a motorbike, some 2004 tsunami footage that some punk tried to pretend was recent and some Ray William Johnson vids!

Here’s my pick of this week’s wild virals!

‘If video games were real 2’ definitely got me chuckling, it features several short clips of people enacting video games in ‘real life’. Certainly worth taking a peek if you are a gamer – or if you are sick of your little brother hogging the television trying to complete some stupid game like his life depended on it – not that I’m speaking from experience or anything!

I hate being a grown up, in fact, many who know me would say that I am yet to become one and that I epic fail every time I even think about acting like one, so blogger and internet entertainer Jenna Marbles ‘I hate being a grown up’ video struck a chord with me. Bemoaning all the ridiculous chores that come hand in hand with being an adult, Jenna’s video got a laugh and a half out of me!

Poor little KevJumba, in his video he tells the web about how much of a massive ‘cockblock’ his father was when he was growing up. I’m sure there are a few people out there who can identify with the scenarios that play out. Thankfully, my family aren’t nearly as bad as KevJumba’s meddling old man, but it did bring back cringe-worthy memories of those classic moments when a family member puts their foot right into your lovelife! Got to be worth a look-see!

For me, the pick of the bunch was the video that came in at number one, television channel TNT’s ‘push to add drama’ advert. They placed a big red button on an elevated platform in the middle of a very quiet square in Belgium – where apparently not a lot ever happens. Above it they placed an arrow inviting passers-by to push the button to add a little bit of drama! As if you would be able to resist that? I’d be all over it, it is a brave or boring man who can resist the allure of the infamous red button! When the button is pushed all manner of mayhem breaks out in the previously uneventful suburban square; paramedics who repeatedly drop their patients, an armed shoot-out (fake blood and blanks obviously) an American football team and the prize of the piece a bikini-clad beauty on a motorbike who spins past bemused looking onlookers. A genius idea for an advert if you ask me and obviously lots of you guys agree, because that video notched up more than 23 million views in like a week!

But Why?

There were a couple of vids in the top 10 that did have me a little confused as to why they managed to gain such popularity. One of these was a clip of a driver losing control of his vehicle on an icy road and narrowly missing a collision with a lorry. I can see why this sounds interesting but the angle of the video was rather naff and you don’t really see anything that gets the blood pumping if you catch my drift. The other one was of two Russian women prancing around in a recording studio. I couldn’t watch that one till the end, I guess that it must only be funny if you can speak Russian – and as I don’t, any potential humor in it was lost on me!
