For those of you who haven’t seen the tropic of thunder “viral” video here it is. I think they did a great job with this. My comments follow after the video. I am very curious to hear what you think.

I laughed so hard I almost started to cry. I found it clever that they played off of a few typical characteristics of many of todays viral videos.

  • filmed with a cell phone camera to give it an authentic look
  • had some sort of physical damage involved
  • relied on suggestions from a younger generation, especially when Ben Stiller tried to “tap into” his nephews head. Many marketers today are trying to do this

What are some of the things you liked/disliked about the video? Would you share this video with your friends/family/coworkers?

Thanks for reading
