Viral Video of the Week (part 2)–2011 recap

This is the first Viral Video post of 2012. I have to say, that I have had the best time EVAR with this weekly spot.

So before we move on to new videos next week, I’d like to take a look back at last year’s offerings, and show you the best of what we’ve had up on the Flip. And by “best,” I mean “what Kat liked.”

Since there were so many videos, and so many different types of video, I broke my recap out into genre. After all, a baby playing with an iPad isn’t really comparable with a news story about riots in England.

Best PSA

Rethink Breast Cancer’s monthly check app video–Funny, campy, sexy, and has the potential to save many lives.

Best random funny

Ocean Marketting’s (sic) bad PR day. This story was such a train wreck, that the absurdity of the video was all-the-funnier.

Best news/political

Beygairat Brigade–not quite news, but I count any political satire that can get you killed as a legitimate form of public protest.

2DPhotography’s Rube Goldberg machine. In one word: brilliant.

So there you have it–my own personal favorites of the past year.Here’s to 2012, and another year of video on the Flip!
