Not a whole hell of a lot. Except that FRUMONDAH SODA, THE TASTE FROM AFRICA sure is a delicious beverage. Why, even Nigerian president Umaru Yar’Adua loves it. Check out these photos and captions from the Asociateted Press:
“Not only is FRUMONDAH a taste from Africa. It is THE TASTE FROM AFRICA!!” declared Yar’Adua at the African Union Summit.
“Just look at this easy-to-carry bottle. You can hold it sideways and it doesn’t spill,” the Nigerian president pointed out.
“I just like to kiss the bottle cap sometimes. For good luck,” Yar’Ardua added before he condemned the violence in the Congo.
Pretty neat, huh? Guess Bob Odenkirk and Leon & Andy’s little viral video experiment worked. For the uninitiated, they made a phony short called Bird Poops In Mouth. It went into a viral spiral all over the Interwebs. Then, exactly one week ago, we revealed that it was indeed a staged incident–a teaser, if you will–meant to draw viewers into a much longer advertisement for FRUMONDAH SODA.
Now, aside from President Yar’Ardua’s glowing comments, we don’t yet have any hard data to support just how beneficial this has all been for FRUMONDAH SODA in terms of sales. But we do know what we’ve learned about the video that begat this whole pile of…um…poop.
Just on YouTube alone, Bird Poops In Mouth has racked up well over a million views as well as a list of YouTube honors including the much-coveted Top Rated “Pets & Animals” video for last month.
Elsewhere online, Bird Poops In Mouth has been featured on the Huffington Post, LiveLeak, Viral Video Chart, AOL Video Blog, MetaFilter, Blogspot, Digg, AOL Video, MySpace Video, Reddit, Milk And Cookies, EbaumsWorld, Break, Yahoo Video, The Onion, Gawker, College Humor, Comedy Central Insider, Hot Air, Word Press, Revver, Fark, IFilm, Technorati, TV Guide, Best Week Ever, Wired, Esquire and Laughing Squid.
It also made it on several TV shows including CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, E!’s The Soup, and Sirius Radio’s The Howard Stern Show. G4’s Attack Of The Show not only featured Bird Poops In Mouth, they also went through the trouble to enact this moving tribute. Thanks, guys.
Of course, Bird Poops In Mouth couldn’t have garnered its 15 seconds of Internet glory without a few requisite response videos. Here are our favorites:
2 Birds 1 Reporter Reaction–Either this guy really does have the weakest stomach ever or somebody is playing audio tricks.
Reporter’s Scoop get Bird Poop in the Mouth! Very Funny!–It seems one fake reporter’s misfortune is another ringtone company’s…um…advertisement?
Re: Bird Poops In Mouth–Meet the Internet Fonzee. He’s oddly compelled to post a response video, but too cool to actually do anything in it (except where sunglasses and smoke a cigarette).
Finally…
Reaction To Bird Poops In Mouth Starring Paul Hu–The blog’s very own man-on-the-street star, Paul Hu. We came, he saw, he out-pooped us.
Enough said.
We know we are. All our rowdy friends are coming over on Sunday with plenty of Doritos to sprinkle on our faces and cases and cases of FRUMONDAH© SODA, the official beverage of Super Deluxe and our Super Bowl XLII watching party!!
FRUMONDAH© SODA, WE KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE!! And you like watching a bunch of overpaid grown men in tights prancing around on a carefully-manicured plot of fake grass with intermittent bombardments of crass corporate advertising, right?! Damn skippy.
With that, we proudly present our three finest Super Bowl-themed spoofs:
Team Tiger Awesome’s Tom Brady: Superstar
Quack Media’s Robot Super Bowl
Blame Society’s John Madden: Dungeon Master
So, there we were, eating our lunch at the local food court when we decided to get a few reaction shots to Bird Poops In Mouth. You know, just to “reach out to the community” and see what they make of the viral sensation. We didn’t even bother trying to explain that the whole thing is a front for FRUMONDAH© SODA, THE TAST FROM AFRICA©.
Ah, always soooo delicious.
Anyways, after filming a few rather tepid reaction videos, we stumbled upon our new hero, Paul Hu. No kidding. Not only was this professional photographer and Chinese restaurant proprietor gracious enough to play along with us, he freakin’ OUT-BIRD POOPED OUR BIRD POOP VIDEO!! Indeed, the servant became the master real quick. Just watch.
Don’t forget to drop by Paul Hu’s lovely MySpace page (for all your photography needs).
It’s been a long seven-week break. A lot has happened since they were last on Internet air. Christmas. New Year’s. Heath Ledger. But now we can finally breathe easy again (and make crappy Photoshop reminders). Because the boys are back in the proverbial town!!
And word is, Super Deluxe’s new favorite Nigerian cola, FRUMONDAH©, will be making a special appearance in tonight’s broadcast. FRUMONDAH©. SMILE, HAPPY, NICE©.
Now, we don’t want to throw cold water on their big return, but we can’t help but notice that all does not appear to be well among the Tim And Eric Nite Live faithful. It seems some think the hosts should part ways, although they’re not in agreement about which one is the weaker link. Perhaps T&E fans sense a growing discord between the chameleon-like duo that we’re simply not privy to. Witness:
Hmm. Kind of confusing. And then came Super Deluxe member Itchy Pinworm’s brutal tirade.
Ouch. To make matters worse, the beloved Tim And Eric Nite Live regular, David Liebe Hart, seems to have been caught in the crossfire of all the Haterade drinking.
Whoa! What’s with all this David Liebe Hate? Just for that particularly nasty comment, SteWiePukes, we are going to repost our recent podcast, Tim And Eric Nite Live: Best Of The Regulars, and celebrate Mr. Liebe Hart’s contributions to the entertainment world and humanity at large.
Specifically, the one that got all big on the Internets over the last few days that shows a Channel 7 Action News reporter catching a big turd in his mouth from a Canadian brown finch? Looks kind of like this…
Or maybe we should rephrase that question: have you seen any good bird poop videos lately that show what appears to be a Channel 7 Action News reporter catching a big turd in his mouth from a Canadian brown finch but, in turn, reveals itself to be an elaborate advertisement brought to you by our very own Bob Odenkirk and Leon & Andy for Nigerian Sunshine International’s most delicious soda, FRUMONDAH©! Looks kind of like this…
We gotta say, Bob and Leon & Andy sure went out on a limb with this one, but we really believe it’s worth it. Have you tasted FRUMONDAH© soda yet? We’re so hooked on THE TASTE FROM AFRICA©, we’ve decorated our home page with it. Why, it’s soda. It’s sunshine. It’s yellow AND it’s good time. Oh, and it looks kind of like this…
