My favorite video to watch on Youtube, is just a simple image
of an animated lizard talking about random, but hilarious things. The video can
be found under: “Seahorses, Forever!” What makes this video so funny is the
back story of it, and how it originated. These guys took a video of their
friend, under the influence, sitting in front of a muted TV, and commenting on
the things that he sees. Personally, I don’t like “Gangnam Style” or the “Harlem
Shake”. I just find them to be annoying, and overplayed. Although I do agree of
how they got their video to become so popular. What makes a video go viral
consists of different things: 1) your video has to reach out to a specific
audience (has to be something people will be interested in). 2) Then you have
to get the word out about the video (spread the word in school, or via Facebook
and hope people tell their friends. 3) lastly, you just sit back and watch your
video go up in views. I don’t think I could make a video go viral, mostly
because I don’t have the interest or motivation in putting that work in to be
the most popular thing on the web. I prefer to focus on the more important
things.
I agree about the Harlem Shake and Gangnam Style.
