After scrolling though all the sex videos again, the highest ranking You Tube video from last week, at 40, is Nike’s Take it to the Next level, which I wrote about last week.

Next is what appears to be an ad from Lenovo (not 100% sure if this is genuine given the length), parodying the Macbook Air ad, for being portable when you need to add a lot to it to be comparable to the Lenovo X300.

The next one is slightly weird. It shows the group Jonas Brothers in what appears to be a homemade movie, talking about Breakfast Breaks. Breakfast Breaks are, as you’ve guessed, snacks for breakfast and they’re sponsoring the band on their tour. They were also running a ‘create your own ad video‘ which finished last week, to meet the band and appear in the next ad with them. What I like about this is the blurb on the Jonas Brothers sites is in their own words (or at least their own tone) so you get the feeling they are really involved in the product not just taking the money to share their name.

A look at the popular product based videos from last week takes me first to Pepsi, Pepsi Stuff and Justin Timberlake at number 10. A fun video with Timberlake going through all sorts of perils, pushing a new promotion to get free stuff from Pepsi. This was a Super Bowl ad.

Promoting a contest from Nature Valley, here’s a video inviting you to submit your Where’s Yours video about a special place in nature and win a trip to the End’s of the World, which includes the Falklands. No redeeming features in the video, but the contest looks interesting.

I’m surprised the week before Super Bowl that there are not further ads on the list, but maybe that will be next week. Instead you have multiple copies of Super Smash Bros Gameplay
and lots of Obama stuff. But finally, a Macbook Air Parody sneaking in at No 51. Not really a product ad, but I laughed anyway.
