Posted on October 27, 2006 by Josh Bancroft

Bill pointed me to these videos, which are obviously Intel viral marketing, but they’re funny, nonetheless. Need a creative way to get a new PC? Here are some ideas:

Personally, I’ve always been partial to the idea of the Etherkiller and its brethren, though I’ve never actually used one to get a new computer (I promise! :-) ).

    So it went from one blog to another blog to another blog and it got on these sites; a whole year and half before YouTube even existed. It was on sites like Boing Boing, Something Awful, Metafilter, which point to weird stuff on the internet, like funny videos. Through that, I got a couple million downloads, and it just started snowballing and people kept e-mailing it around to other people. News shows started calling me. Talk shows started calling me.

    Nice to see somebody getting creative. Looks like the APAC folks are having some fun. The production values are a bit to high in most of these clips to look like clips from regular folks and the content is not as consistently funny throughout the video, but they do have funny endings.
