Jennifer Aniston Goes Viral facts for kids
Jennifer Aniston Goes Viral is a viral video advertisement by Glacéau, starring actress Jennifer Aniston, that promotes the smartwater bottled water brand. The video was uploaded to YouTube on 7 March 2011 and had attracted almost ten and a half million views before it was taken down in February 2012.
The video
The two-minute-and-43-second-long Alek Keshishian-directed video opens with teenage Internet personality Keenan Cahill lip-syncing to Far East Movement's "Like a G6", when Aniston enters the room and asks him whether he knows songs about water. The scene cuts away to Aniston introducing smartwater and explaining that she must make a video that "turns into a virus".
The video proceeds to parody a series of viral tropes, including animals (golden retriever puppies, a skateboarding dog and a talking parrot that says "Rachel, I love your hair"—a reference to Aniston's character Rachel Green on the television series Friends and the popular Rachel haircut), animated dirty-dancing babies, a double rainbow and a groin kick to a fan "that's worth about 100,000 hits". Then, in slow motion, Aniston swings her hair and drinks from a bottle of smartwater while "Baker Street" plays in the background.
Sequel
A sequel, The Jennifer Aniston Security Tapes: Secrets Revealed by smartwater, again directed by Keshishian, was uploaded to YouTube on 18 September 2012.
