Friend of Urgent Content, Max Joseph, sent us these hilarious Prop 19 videos he worked on for The B-Squad. With voting day around the corner, Californians are all anxious to see what happens with this historic proposition…so why not make light of it? The first video is my favorite, but all three are definitely worth [...]

YouTubers, The Fine Brothers, are attempting an interesting new video series called “Kids React,” where they film kids watching well-known viral videos and then record their feedback. It’s attempting the ultimate combination of cute kids and viral hits. For the first episode, the kids watched “Double Rainbow,” “Two Bunnies Two Cups,” “Snickers Halloween Commercial,” and [...]

Urgent’s friend Simon over at Bloggasm saw our recent post on Weezer’s YouTube invasion and gave us the heads up today on another YouTube invasion – this time from Valvoline.

/Barbra Streisand (music video) Duck Sauce/ Turntablists Armand Van Helden and A-Track, AKA “Duck Sauce,” have only been releasing music for a year, but already individually have sold a resume of bangers under their belts.  The video for “Barbra Streisand” is an accomplishment in its own right, capturing the spirit of New York, in which [...]

The other day Google put out this bizarre video to hype their location-based mobile search engine, but at 10 minutes long, it’s hard to believe most people would sit through the whole thing. I…almost did. But it’s worth checking out for the hidden humor throughout the whole video. My favorites from when I skipped to [...]

The Viral Factory released their latest video for Samsung earlier this month and it’s already had over 3.6 million views so far. What happens in the video isn’t easily relatable to the new phone they’re advertising, but it’s definitely eye-catching and unexpected. That’s due to the brilliant combination of two already proven successful themes (cute [...]

The Gregory Brothers of Auto-Tune the News are on fire right now after their recent collaboration with Weezer.

I find this video a lot more annoying then the infamous Bed Intruder song, but it’s still a viral success [...]

The latest branded viral video win goes to Gillette for putting out this amazing trick shot demonstration with Roger Federer. The company claims the footage was captured in one take during a real commercial shoot with the British Skin Foundation. Somehow Roger manages to knock a water bottle off a guy’s head not once, but [...]

We had this very cool video sent to us today and couldn’t help but notice the strong presence of the Vitamin Water brand. The amazing dancing is clearly the reason this video has received close to 170k views, but Vitamin Water is in frame long enough to make you wonder if they were involved. However, [...]
