5 Best Car-Related Viral Videos of All Time
When one thinks of a viral video, funny children, crazy pets, and hilarious parodies come to mind. However, car insurance companies have stepped up their game with videos that have gone viral. These companies have harnessed the power of the internet, added some comedy, and found innovative ways to advertise their services. Car insurance has never been this fun. Here are the five best car-related viral videos of all time.
- Nationwide Auto Insurance: Flying Pens: The scene opens with a sweet child enjoying “Take Your Child to Work Day” at a bank. He is fascinated by the pneumatic tube system. Things quickly go wrong when he starts sticking miscellaneous items into the tube. Hopefully Nationwide does have a policy for flying pens because the customer’s car gets destroyed. This video truly illustrates the company’s tag line “life comes at you fast.” Who knew such an adorable child could cause so much damage? You never know what’s going to happen on the road, or at the bank. What a fantastic way to advertise the company’s 24/7 claims services and possible policy savings.
- Geico: Woodchucks: Though most people saw this commercial on television, the internet video still received almost four million hits. Geico constantly finds unique ways to let viewers know that they can save 15% or more on car insurance. In this case, woodchucks are shown literally chucking wood only to be yelled at by a passing farmer. Geico’s commercials seem to be getting more attention now that the gecko is on hiatus.
- Nationwide Auto Insurance: Jingle Recording Session: Nationwide car insurance has found a niche in the online market. Their character, The World’s Greatest Spokesperson in the World, is a goofy fellow who stars in many of the company’s commercials. A web video of him recording voiceovers for the Nationwide jingle went viral. This funny yet slightly creepy video just reinforces why America loves this guy while also ensuring that “Nationwide is on your side” is stuck in customers’ heads.
- More Than Car Insurance: More Than Freeman: More Than Car Insurance managed to score a narrator who pulls off an amazing Morgan Freeman impression. “More Than Freeman” explains the philosophical aspects of the wheel while advertising the fact that the company can send a courtesy car within two hours. The dead-on Morgan Freeman voice was likely enough to make this video go viral. However, the touch of humor probably didn’t hurt either.
- Geico: Little Piggy: This commercial went viral on the internet almost immediately. Nearly nine million people have viewed it, making it the most-viewed car insurance commercial on the web. Geico proves that they truly save drivers 15% or more on car insurance by showing a pig saying “wee” all the way home. Maxwell the pig became an icon when he began shouting “wee” out of a minivan window with his pinwheels spinning. Judging from his voice he is a teenage pig. While this video has received much love on the internet, it wasn’t long before viewers started hitting mute on their televisions to block out the pig’s high-pitched shrieks. Considering an endless amount of parodies continue to be made, it’s safe to say that Maxwell has nabbed a spot in the car insurance video hall of fame.
