Embrace Life - Best Viral Video 2010
Posted by Lindsey in viral video
Today's new entry in at number 9 on the Viral Video Chart is 'Embrace Life.' It's a 1:30 advert with no script, no cats, no fights, no singing hamsters... but has somehow managed to get 2.7 million views, 1,293 blog posts and 246 Tweets.
The music is simple and perfect, which combined with the expressions on the actors' faces gave me shivers within 5 seconds of watching. I URGENTLY wanted to find out what the video was about, it kept me watching right to the end of the minute and a half, at which point the sponsor was revealed.

Just watched it a second time, and again I had the shivers. This video more than passes the physical reaction test (if it makes you jump, laugh, cry or shiver then it will go viral) and I predict it will be a in our chart for a good long while. I've just shared it with Facebook, my company and Twitter.
