Hollywood made a movie about Facebook, so why not make a movie about a smartphone game. That’s the premise behind top YouTuber Ryan Higa‘s new faux trailer Candy Crush The Movie.
Besides for Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, one of the most popular iPhone games is Candy Crush. Ryan loves the game, but has slowly become more and more obsessed. Now, things are getting out of control.
Movie obsessed Lost In Reviews was interviewing Hollywood star Will Ferrell when she accidentally embarrassed herself. She thought she had set her phone to silent to record the interview, but when Sarah’s mom called, the phone still rang.
Being a fun loving guy, Will didn’t hesitate answering the phone and having a nice conversation with mom.
Now, the silly video that resulted has gone viral, amassing over half a million views in two months.
For years, TV watchers have been dreaming of ‘smell-o-vision’ as it’s been dubbed. Viewers can’t help but imagine their living room filling with the scent of roast beef and potatoes while watching the Food Network. Or the smell of fresh cut grass and hot dogs at the start of the Superbowl.
Well, ‘smell-o-vision’ has taken one step closer to becoming a reality with the new Scentee smart phone add-on by ChatPerf. The device emits specific smells to go along with special txt messages or games.
Diginfo News covers the new device in this news report which has garnered over a quarter million views.
The most famous improv crew arguably in the world, ImprovEverywhere, has again struck in the heart of New York City with a hilarious prank. For their latest mission, they pretended the city made a new program of Seeing Eye People for New Yorkers to walk and text.
Countless volunteers wearing orange vests and leashes took to the streets with a texter right behind them holding the leash and tapping away.
BuzzFeed got in the gag actually approaching real people who were texting and walking and asking them if they need assistance. Most did not react pleased.
The smart phone wars have been raging for years now in both the marketplace and the courtroom, with Apple’s iPhone and Samsung‘s Galaxy in center ring.
Online, Apple is famous for their ubiquitous artsy and powerful advertisements, while Samsung is known for poking fun at Apple.
But, one brand of phones has seemingly been out of the picture this entire time, until now.
Windows Phone maybe late to the party, but at least they know how to make a commercial that will trend online.
Using the same formula as Samsung, Microsoft tells a story of a wedding from two very different families, Samsung and Apple.
Of course, the guests break out in a fight, all while the waiters wonder why no one uses the new Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone.
RedRum425 sums up the entire commercial, saying, “Funny commercial but so true even the fact that only 2 people had a windows phone.”
