Guardian Viral Video Chart: Skyfall, Super Bowl and Beckham in underwear
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2013/feb/08/digital-media Version 0 of 1. This week's viral chart has a little something for everyone, whether you want your brain, heart or funny bone tickled. Top of the heap is the mesmerising Kai, the surfer-dude hitchhiker with no surname and no age, telling Fox News the story of how he saved a woman from a man claiming he was 'Jesus'. But most of all (turns to camera) he wants you to know that, no matter what you've done in life – you're loveable. How long before he gets his own sitcom? If you haven't watched Skyfall yet, then watch out for spoilers in the Honest Trailer, as the voice-over artist picks so many holes in the story it ends up like Swiss cheese. But then whoever expected the Bond franchise to be realistic. One of our favourite segments is the film's finale set to the Home Alone soundtrack. Continuing with the film trailer theme ... Have you ever wondered what The Godfather's Michael Corleone would have been like if he was a legendary megalomaniac record producer? Wonder no more, as Al Pacino goes to town with the lead part in the upcoming Phil Spector biopic. The real-life originator of the Wall of Sound would most likely be flattered, although the real stars of the movie may be the wigs. Not flattering. Not even on Helen Mirren. Elsewhere we couldn't resist the Guy Richie-directed underwear ad featuring David Beckham – solely for the artistic value, of course – and a fascinating explanation of how our brains play tricks on us. Finishing off, we give you two polar opposite Super Bowl ads. 1. Homeless Hitchhiker (Kai) Saves Woman From Jesus Attack With Hatchet.<br />It's all in how you tell the story... 2.
