This week was huge for viral videos, with a number of new YouTube clips breaking 1 million views within a matter of days. From Ozzy Osbourne giving fans the scare of their lives to a McDonalds commercial that pushes limits, a new world record and an awesome science experiment, there was no shortage of entertainment on YouTube to start this month out on the right foot. We hope you’ll enjoy our picks for the best viral videos of the week as much as we do!
Ozzy Scare at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum
Ozzy Osbourne’s new album ‘Scream’ comes out later this month and to spread the word Ozzy set out to make some of his fans scream. He startled visitors at Madame Tussaud’s wax museum in New York in this fun prank clip, which has been viewed over 1.5 million times already.
Gay McDonald’s ad in France
A new French McDonald’s ad that has a gay twist has been spreading like wild fire over the past week. The new “come as you are” campaign pushes the limits for McDonalds like never before and is sparking debate, with over 1.2 million views so far.
The Coke Zero & Mentos Rocket Car
Earlier this week we posted about EepyBird’s new Coke Zero and Mentos experiment in which the soft drink and candy are used to fuel a rocket car. The video has been viewed over 1.2 million times. If you have a pair of 3D glasses lying around you can watch in 3D!
Lego Hello World
This next video is of one of the coolest printers you’ve ever seen in your life – a Lego printer that prints using a felt tip marker. You know you want one of these, along with the other 886,000 people who have viewed this clip!
Taig Khris Saut Tour Eiffel Officiel Record
In this next clip, French X-gamer Taig Khris breaks a world record by jumping off the Eiffel Tower onto a skate ramp from 40 meters up. Talk about extreme!
EAT DA POO POO (NSFW)
We usually cover the top 5 videos in ‘This Week In Viral Videos’, but this clip was just too bizarre to ignore. The clip features a Ugandan anti-gay activist speaking about what homosexuals do “in the privacy of their own homes.” ‘Eat Da Poo Poo’ has gone viral over the past couple of days, with over 630,000 views and coverage on Perez Hilton, Videogum and other blogs. It has also spawned a number of parodies already. This clip is so ridiculously offensive and ignorant that you just can’t take it seriously.
