Yesterday my friend invited me over. His bosses had asked him to make a “viral video” promoting their latest movie.

We sat on the couch, trying to figure out what makes a video, viral. We came up with these ideas:

1. Cats

2. Hot babes

3. Explosions

4. White guys rapping

5. Babies dancing

My friend is busy editing the video, so we’ll have to see how viral it becomes. Here is a list of other things that make good viral video:

Crying southern teens

Will Ferrell (with a baby)

Stupid people (preferably hot)

Politics

Dancing Prisoners

Fat people

Exploding whales

Paris Hilton
