VVRU: Super Bowl Edition Caleb Hamilton, February 6, 2012February 6, 2012 So yesterday was the Big Game.

Last night was no exception. We’ve put together a special Viral Video Round-Up showcasing some of the film and television spots from last night. Check them out after the break!First up is Metlife Insurance’s ad featuring many classic cartoon characters including Scooby-Doo and Mystery, Inc., JabberJaw, He-Man and of course, the Peanuts gang. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=j1RCplpVaQ0Seinfeld went off the air fourteen years ago, so it was nice to see Jerry reunited with one of the most iconic characters from the series, The Soup Nazi, in this spot featuring the Acura NSX. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YOL22euixuAAct of Valor stars a group of active duty Navy SEALs in an “…unprecedented blend of real-life heroism and original filmmaking.” It’s a very interesting concept and the teaser was quite powerful.

Matthew Broderick as himself, playing hookie from a shoot in this ad from Honda. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VrInJIqxUMAPROCEED TO PAGE 2 OF VVRU: SUPER BOWL EDITION!Pages: 1 2 3 Features Viral Marketing Viral Video Round Up Viral Videos Act of ValorAcuraAwakeBattleshipFerris Bueller's Day OffHondaMarvel StudiosMarvel's The AvengersMetlife InsuranceNBCSeinfeldsmashStar WarsSuper Bowl XLVIThe Celebrity ApprenticeThe LoraxUniversal StudiosVolkswagen
