VIRAL VIDEO
Do you know what viral video is? Viral video is a video that becomes popular by mass communication. It is usually about amusing things. The viral video that I want to talk about in this essay is 'ANNOYING ORANGE'. Annoying orange is not just one video, it's a series. In 2009, it was made by Dane Boedigheimer. It is a story about an orange keeps on annoying other fruits and marshmellow,etc. Fruits can talk in there. The protagonist of Annoying orange is an orange, and there other fruit friends, such as apple, pear, passion fruit, grapefruit, lemon and so on, and because of a talking orange, now, the video maker, Boedigheimer is very popular, and have earned lots of money.
Actually, it was going to be only one video, but many people loves it so boedigheimer made a series of it. At the first video, there is an orange on the table and an apple on the left. An orange keeps on bothering an apple by saying "Hey, apple!", and "You look fruiy!hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa" and more things that's really funny. At last, the orange says "knife.". For the most annoying orange vides, a knife makes ending. The knife cuts the fruits.
The good thing about ANNOYING ORANGE is it is very amusing. It makes people smile, and have fun. Also, an orange has many fans, too. When I watched the video, I laughed so much. But, the bad thing about ANNOYING ORANGE is that probably most people cannot eat any fruits such as orange, apple after they watch the video. Seriously, who can eat any fruit after watching any video that is about a talking fruit with eyes,and huge mouth and yellow teeth? Probably nobody can't. Same for me, too. After I watched it, I could not eat an orange or an apple.
Third, there are many parodies of annoying orange. For example, ANNOYING ORANGE ANGRY BIRD. The subtitle is in Korean.

AngryBird is famous, and Annoying Orange is famous., and this video is a mix of those two.

It is a mix of Supermario and Annoying Orange.
The parodies are very amusing, too, but not as original. I think ANNOYING ORANGE the original is the best.
I think viral videos are good, because they can make people earn a lot of money. For example, Annoying Orange's creator Dane Boedigheimer earned a lot of money, and he got very famous. Also, viral videos can make people to enjoy. But the problem about viral videos is sometimes, it can hurt people. Example of this is Rebecca Black. Her song called "Friday"'s music video has been a viral video, too, but many people dislike her, and even some people gave her threatening messages. I think we should reform this problem, and if the problem about viral videos are reformed, then it will be much better.
Nice work and excellent writing. Annoying Orange is a huge success and I'm sure Dan didn't know his creative idea would become his new job, making him a lot of money.
답글삭제To make this post better, you could put the videos IN the blog post instead of putting a link. It would be good to also have a picture or two - maybe of the orange or Dan.
