This is a great video that shows some of the people behind the incredible Honda "Cog" that was one of the first Web 2.0 viral videos a few years back. This clip also shows some of the outtakes. Can you imagine the patience it must have taken to make that commercial?

This will definitely go down in history as one of the best ad's ever made.

I think the viral tag is getting over-used. Viral advertising starts on a social network while this was a TV advert that became popular online.

However, it can't be denied that this video was HUGE on teh internets! It was passed around like crazy, email to email, etc- the EFFECT was a viral spread, even if the intent wasn't there.

I may agree that some vids that don't belong in the viral channel end up there, but I would argue that this one clearly does.

Zifnab has fixed this video's dead embed code - no star awarded because Zifnab was awarded too recently.

Surely someone must have cracked the: "Sorry, we forgot to put film in the camera!" joke after the final take...
