#Outbreak Alert! Corgi Flop

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @BBwerner

Welcome to the first edition of Outbreak Alert!, where I bring you the readers of TNTML the newest thing going viral on the web. On a mission to become internet famous, I analyze the current meme spreading through the web to see what we can learn from it.

I give you Corgi Flop. If you haven't seen Corgi Flop, it features a little Corgi named Cooper in an adorable life vest jumping in for his first swim. It is one of the most watched videos on Youtube in the past week, amassing over 1 million views in the ten days it has been on the web. The video has been picked up by FunnyorDie.com and a variety of other sites.

Corgis are already famous world-wide as Queen Elizabeth's dog of choice (she always has four of them), add water and you have a viral hit.

 

So what can we learn from Corgi Flop? Being as Youtube is about 88% adorable dog videos, I think it is safe to say if you have a dog, you should just keep a camera on him or her 24 hours a day just incase hilarity ensues. Once again the age old theory that if you want a hit, use children and/or dogs. The legendary WC Fields used to refuse to work with children and dogs, stating "Anyone who hates children and animals can't be all bad." Of course, this was in the days before YouTube.

The video itself is beautifully shot in HD. As more people get hd cameras, I find it exciting that the days of awful compressed video that looks like a Nintendo game will soon be behind us.

Anyway, prepare yourself for complete cute meltdown in five, four...
