hey everybody and welcome to topics
where we count down the very best that
YouTube has to offer
I’m your host Rebecca and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top ten
clever YouTube ads
for this list we’ve narrowed it down to
videos that were not only popular on
YouTube but some of which were seen
widely on TV even during the Superbowl
wink wink
number 10 ship my pants Kmart ship my
pants right here despite the fact that
some of the people in the ad are not
enunciating it very well this is a great
example of challenging the censors in a
rather clever way with a young boy a
couple of seniors and more folks showing
their excitement over the fact that they
can get pants shipped to them for free
if the ones they want aren’t available
in the store I just shipped my drawers I
just shit my nightie I just shipped my
bed the ad went viral within days of
being on YouTube
despite some criticism about its
juvenile humor blame its popularity even
spawned more ads from the company that
focused on the famous line such as a
ship your trousers ad the company
promoted during Christmas 2013 Carradine
Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol
ish I just made shifty bloomers yes use
your Chico bloomers interviews and shit
no trousers to call Twiggy shit my trout
hook jaws is dead all in all it’s an ad
that uses immature humor in a way that
can still make most people laugh what
can I say
hoops funny number nine clash of clans
revenge
clash of clans
Liam Neeson’s starring in a commercial
can pretty much make any kind of AD
better but he really nailed it with this
one in arguably the most well-known of
many ads for this popular smartphone
game Neeson sort of reprises his role as
Brian Mills from the taken movies even
quoting a famous line from the film as
he vows revenge against big buffet boy
85 I don’t know yeah big buffet boy 85
but if you think you can humiliate me
I’ll take my gold think again we also
get a bit of comic relief as well as we
hear a server at the bakery he’s at
absolutely butcher his name while giving
him his Scoon which is something we’re
used to hearing at the place that runs
with star Schmucks lion has gone from
lion huh rare it’s uh ma’am
whether or not angry Neeson fifty two
ends up winning or if he gets humiliated
and gets his gold taken away is unknown
but it’s an ad that uses a recognizable
character that also gets taken out of
character while promoting a hugely
successful game and it ended up being
the most popular ad on YouTube of Super
Bowl xlix you will regret the day you
crossed angry Neeson 52 number 8 Jeff
Gordon test drive Pepsi Max
oh wow yeah nice and easy just head on
out whenever you’re ready at almost four
minutes in length this ad feels way more
like a cool video than a commercial but
it’s nothing if not fun in it NASCAR
driver Jeff Gordon dresses in a disguise
and takes a car salesman on a drive that
he doesn’t know is going to be the
wildest and maybe one of the most
dangerous of his life
you are liable for any damages to the
vehicle so please stop the cars water
least slow down my personal favourite
line is you’re an idiot
I’m going to kill you I’m gonna kill you
despite some criticism that the ad was
faked and that Jeff Gordon was played by
an actor this video racked up tons o
hits on YouTube 40 4.6 million to be
exact one of the people who accused the
video of being fake Travis a Kolski
was the subject of a second test drive
video by Jeff Gordon and Pepsi a year
later where Gordon drives him around in
a taxi at breakneck speed with the cops
following them causing a Kowski to
finally turn a new leaf and admit that
the second ad was totally real
come on
I’m Jeff Gordon tack about getting
revenge also who knew Jeff Gordon could
act also also what does this have to do
with Pepsi number seven our blades are
fucking great dollar shape club
hi I’m Mike founder of
dollarshaveclub.com what is
dollarshaveclub.com well for a dollar a
month we send high-quality razors right
to your door taking cues from a
commercial that appears later on this
list this ad is designed as one hell of
a sales pitch that does not stop it’s
used to promote the business model of
this startup razor company where they
deliver razors to customers houses
starting at only $1 a month yeah a
dollar are the blades any good
no our blades are great with Dollar
Shave Club co-founder Michael Dubin
giving a great deadpan performance the
company pokes fun at brand-name razors
particularly commercials for Gillette
featuring tennis star Roger Federer and
do you like spending $20.00 a month on
brand-name razors 19 go to Roger Federer
I’m good at tennis whatever the strategy
was it caught millions of people’s
attention as it got two million views
within four days of being uploaded to
YouTube the ad itself seems a little bit
ridiculous and doesn’t always make sense
but it’s entertaining your reverent and
hilarious and for an ad about buying
razors that’s quite an accomplishment
the moral here be clever we are
dollarshaveclub.com and the party is on
number six a dramatic surprise on a
quiet Square TNT
the arrow pointing to the button in this
ad does say push to add drama and that
is exactly what we get we see a guy
being delivered to an ambulance who’s
dropped and then falls out a cyclist
collides with the ambulance door and
then starts an epic brawl with one of
the paramedics a woman rides a
motorcycle in red lingerie and a black
car comes through with people fighting
each other with guns oh and a group of
American football players carries one of
the gunshot victims of way all of this
for an ad for a TV channel
number five the man your man could smell
like Old Spice hello ladies
look at your man now back to me now back
at your man now back to me flipping the
script and aiming an ad about men’s body
wash at female consumers this commercial
is a great way to convince men to smell
like well men and it’s also very very
well done with instructions from actors
/ former football player Isaiah Mustafa
known as the Old Spice guy we see that
anything is possible when a man uses Old
Spice by targeting a female demo for a
male product this add saw tons of action
on YouTube and on TV racking up 51
million views in five and a half years
on the site in 2010 it also won an Emmy
for Outstanding commercial what’s in
your head back at me I have it it’s an
oyster with two tickets to that thing
you love look again the tickets are now
diamonds whether Mustafa’s inability to
stop making eye contact with the viewer
during the ad is impressive or
unsettling is your call I’m into it
personally but his smooth delivery and
the innovative use of special effects
make it a very convincing way to get
women to get their men to smell better
than ever I’m on a horse I’m not on a
horse I just want to say that anything
is possible when your man smells like
old spice is not a lady
I’m on a horse number four the epic
split featuring Van Damme Volvo Trucks
I’ve had my ups and downs my fair share
of bumpy roads and heavy winds
jean-claude van damme has always been
known for doing the splits very well
also for his great martial arts skills
action movies and his cute butt
sorry it’s true but this is on a whole
nother level with the soothing serene
sounds of Enya acting as the soundtrack
for this ad the muscles from Brussels
does the splits as he stands on the
mirrors of two Volvo Trucks that are
moving in Reverse with the trucks moving
away from each other to help with the
split
the results are nothing short of
impressive but since his jock walk Van
Damme it’s not that’s a brightly okay
I’m lying it still hella suppressing the
stump was done over three days but there
was only a 15 minute interval where the
sunlight was at the perfect spot so
basically they did not do a lot of ticks
and no it’s not fake
number three the force Volkswagen
what do you get when you take a cute kid
Star Wars and fancy cars a pretty great
reaction to your ad for Volkswagen
that’s what they did here as a little
boy runs around his house pretending to
be Darth Vader trying to use the force
against anything and everything he sees
in the house it doesn’t work out so
great but it is adorable
as a promotion for the 2012 Volkswagen
Passat this Superbowl ad not only
promoted a cool-looking car but gave
people a bit of an olfactory as well
using the Star Wars movies classic
Imperial March as its backing music the
ad ends with the tiny Vader running
toward the car instead of his dad who
just got home and using the force to
actually start it unbeknownst to him of
course it was actually his dad starting
it with the remote for the
number two Kobe versus Messi the selfie
shootout Turkish Airlines what happens
when you bring together to the most
iconic athletes in the world for a
commercial not exactly what you’d expect
like you think that Kobe Bryant would
challenge Leo Messi to a basketball game
or the Messi would challenge Kobe to a
soccer game but instead Turkish Airlines
challenges them both to a selfie
competition as the two superstars travel
to various exotic locales all over the
world they take snaps of themselves
having amazing experiences in different
corners of the globe Beijing Moscow Cape
Town Istanbul you name it Kobe even
photobombs Messi and Turkey so who ends
up winning well neither of them really
but the real winner here is Turkish
Airlines because this video racked up
142 million views so far and was voted
their ad of the decade in a public vote
on their website when you take two of
the biggest athletes in the world and
add in one of the most popular modern
trends you got yourself a recipe for
viral success
before we unveil our top pick for clever
you too bad
here are some honorable mentions become
DLC box
um delivery colleague Elsa pick up the
green here you would not believe the
mother lode I just dropped and that’s
how I like to keep it leaving not a
trace that I was ever here let alone
that I just birthed a creamy behemoth
from my cavernous bowels
number one winner stays Nike football
when it stays on really stays on lads
kind of stays on so Cristiano and I’ll
do it
it goes without saying that soccer truly
is the world’s game and in this video
released by Nike just before the 2014
World Cup in Brazil we see some of the
biggest names in the game go
head-to-head in an epic showdown we see
stars like Brazil’s Neymar England’s
Wayne Rooney and Portuguese world-class
superstar Cristiano Ronaldo all of whom
are sponsored by Nike although really
it’s just a bunch of guys from England
playing against each other who suddenly
turned themselves into many different
footballing heavyweights the combination
of a simple pickup game and elite talent
makes it unbelievably entertaining they
even go so far as to pretend they’re
playing in front of 50,000 footy fans
and the fact that Kobe Bryant and even
the Hulk show up only adds to the
awesomeness
oh it’s intense it’s thrilling it’s
fast-paced it’s light-hearted it’s fun
and it’s everything in between the
audience seemed to agree too
because it’s racked up 118 million views
on YouTube making it the most viewed ad
on YouTube in Nikes history and the most
viewed ad on YouTube at all during 2014
