Bianca — April 8, 2009 — Pop Culture
“Viral videos” have become so ubiquitous, they’re hardly viral anymore; however, therein lies the appeal of this Mini Cooper Clubman video! See, this clip spoofs viral videos.
In a simulated car driving down the highway, you hear two English guys chatting above the aggressive driving, stunts and flips being performed by the Mini Cooper Clubmans in front of them.
“Do you know what, I think we’re in a viral,” one finally exlaims.
“You mean those things on the internet?”
The crown for best viral video spoof is still held by Weezer’s Pork and Beans from last May, although how can you compare?
