differently to the amount and color of light striking it,

A viral advertisement is a technique used on social networks that helps increase the awareness of brands or other marketing objectives.

My Opinion:
Viral ads are sometimes annoying on the screen, especially when using YouTube.  This is because the video that is being watched is delayed ten or fifteen seconds by the ad. 

Viral commercials could affect the video commercial industry pretty drastically.  As these ads become more and more popular, tv commercials would become less viewed and less productive.  More people are beginning to use technology, especially computers, therefore ads would become more viewed through computers than the television.

Heineken Commercial 
This is one of my all-time favorites because it is humorous while telling a story line.  It begins with a good dialogue that turns to laughter.  The commercial has a storyline while promoting its product.  
 

Gatorade Revolution 
This is probably my all-time favorite commercial because it incorporates sports into a motivational commercial.  I really enjoy this Gatorade ad.  This commercial uses catchy music along with camera shots of people playing in the past in black and white.  The product shots are also pretty cool because they take close-ups of the Gatorade G Series.  

Doritos Commercial
This commercial is also one of my favorites because it is very funny.  The little boy has funny dialogue that brings the audience into the ad.  The product is displayed nicely in the shot and is emphasized when a young child makes it a point to the male not to touch his food.  It is a very cute and funny commercial.

Overall, seeing these commercials can help my partner and I greatly when creating a commercial of our own.  We can try and incorporate humor as well as a a catchy jingle.  We should also keep in mind to show the product in the video shot.
