Mfarhanonline:VitaminWater Embraces Viral Memes in Latest Commercial

Fav Tag:

Mfarhanonline Social Media News: VitaminWater is paying homage to the meme world in its latest commercial, with nods to several delightful viral references, from the Nyan cat and sexy sax guy to the Filipino inmates dancing to Michael Jackson. The new 30-second commercial — released last week — also features cameos from the LOL Cat community, planking and Limecat. “Ah yes, the splendors of the Internet,” VitaminWater writes in the YouTube video’s description. “Truimphant babies, photobombs, seductive men who strictly play smooth jazz, and of course the cats made of toaster pastry. These days, it’s not unusual to encounter something this unusual.” “So take a sip of your VitaminWater, grab the proverbial antelope by the horns and check out this commercial. Yeehaw!,” the description said. SEE ALSO: Jennifer Aniston Smart Water Ad Lampoons Viral Memes VIDEO This isn’t the first time a water company turned to viral memes to create a commercial. Last year, Smart Water enlisted Jennifer Aniston in a nearly 3-minute ad that featured dancing babies and double rainbows. The actress played up the concept by alluding to the fact that a video with so many viral references would surely go viral itself. In addition, actor Jonah Hill created a YouTube of himself in 2009 playing with kittens to help promote the film Funny People . It worked — the video raked in more than 320,000 views. How many meme references can you find in the VitaminWater commercial? Which one is your favorite? Let us know in the comments.
