Judit & Judit the comhem girls who already nod to Snapple's Wanda, have created a homage to all those virals out there in this 45 spot to celebrate that Comhem has delivered internet to Sweden since 1999. In it we see references to Mentos & Coke*, Chocolate Rain *, "Leave Britney alone!"*, the Swedish TV host who was suddenly ill on live television *, Nunchuck guy *, The Bad Day Viral (which already spawned it's own viral homage), Ansiktsburk * a turkish song subtitled with what it sounds like in Swedish, ending up being a love poem to "face-cans", and many more. If you recall all of them, you need to step away from the keyboard for a moment. ;)

Thanks to a pal on twitter @oskcar I now know where that "Vem vare som kasta" came from. The bit where Judit is dressed in all white walking through a park, it's referencing this film - and now I'm rather impressed by the actress skills as she has his bizarre way of walking down pat. (feels a bit like that Virgin spot the band name game for me, trying to figure out the Swedish "virals" that I've missed)

PermalinkI had never seen that, and wished I hadn't seen that girl throw up on live TV either.

PermalinkThis is shit. A total rip-off from the 100 best moments of youtube. Sans the funny.

PermalinkOh c'mon, if you're gonna call it derivative give Weezer some credit - they're using the same sources (Tay Zonday, Nunchuck guy, Chris Crocker und so weiter) as the vid "Pork and Beans" from last year.
