Fall is almost here and the weather is getting cooler, but the viral video scene is hotter than ever! This week we’ve got a great collection of videos to share with you all with close to a million views or more! Our selection of the best viral videos this week include an overview of the New Twitter, which has everyone talking; some of the best driving you’ve ever seen; an adorable, catchy dance; a crazy-romantic proposal by one of YouTube’s biggest stars; and a new Kindle ad. Check them all out after the jump.

Gymkhana THREE, Part 2: Ultimate Playground

Thanks to Ken Block’s mad driving skills, this video has been viewed over 3.5 million times in three days. I have never seen anyone drive like this and I’m sure that (based on past Go Karting experiences) I would have died at least 15 times trying to accomplish what this guy does in seven minutes. My favorite part is the segway stunt at 2:30. Wowee zowee. That’s all I can say.

Twitter: discover what’s new in your world

Have you been upgraded to the New Twitter yet? If not, you can check it out in the video below, which has been viewed over 1 million times since it was launched on the 14^th.

Cute Girl Has A Catchy Dance

A new viral video from Samsung has everybody dancing. It features a cute little girl doing a dance that soon has everyone dancing with her. With 2.6 million views and growing, this clip has definitely become a success for Samsung.

New Kindle Pool Ad

Kindle has moved on from their adorable stop motion bits to something a little more grownup and a lot more viral, with over 1.4 million views so far. The new clip mocks the iPad by showing a guy having a hell of a time trying to read through the glare in the sun. It doesn’t help that the clip also includes a hot Kindle-loving chick.

Movie Trailer Proposal

MysteryGuitarMan’s latest video is quickly approaching the 1 million mark, with 913,000 views in the last three days. This clip is a little different than the YouTube star’s regular clips – it’s a video of his creative proposal to his girlfriend. This guy is really setting the bar high for other guys thinking about proposing. Check it out below.
