Guardian Viral Video Chart: Clegg gets remixed, Folds gets Fraggled and a bit from Mitt

The viral video team like to think they are at the cutting edge of technology – well maybe not the cutting edge, more like we've got one finger on the edge of the handle. But phone-maker Samsung actually does have its finger on the pulse, judging by this new ad that pokes fun at those who have this week been queuing up to buy a rival's new product. There was confusion when Kelvin Mackenzie, the editor of the Sun at the time of the Hillsborough disaster is doorstepped by Channel 4. It's a sort of cross between Through the Keyhole and a drive-time show but with some very repetitive dialogue. If it's better sounds you want then we've got a very short, cute clip of a cat – we defy you not to want to replay this one. For a musical change of pace, click on the Fraggle Rock crew who join Ben Folds Five for Do It Anyway. Let's end on a soaraway note with the seagull who stole a video camera , kept filming and then dropped it neatly, and undamaged, for its owner to reclaim it. Sounds too good to be true? Are we being too gull-ible? Watch the video and let us know what you think … Guardian Viral Video Chart.
