Guardian Viral Video Chart: Crab bites back, Johnny Depp v Ricky Gervais

A combative crab, a tank-peddling dog, and a New Zealand Transport Agency drink driving awareness ad . OK, that last one didn't quite fit the theme, but it's "bloody legend" nonetheless. Remember this UK drink driving ad from 2008? Doesn't hold a candle to the Kiwis, even if it did seem on tad risque at the time. Elsewhere this week, we feature the Johnny Depp fronting up to his old pal Ricky Gervais , inimitable NMA.tv's take on the Steve Jobs biography and a very awkward video job interview by a man who prefers to run before bed " to maintain his edge ". Finally, watch as a crustacean exacts its revenge on this moron (and fast forward the 60 seconds of nonsense): Guardian Viral Video Chart. Compiled by Unruly Media and chopped around by Josh. 1 Crab gets its revenge Seriously, wait for it ... and then wonder what happened next. 2 Tank dog Seriously, stop the internet. It has gone too far. 3 New Zealand Transport Agency drink driving ad How all government ads should be. 4 Steve Jobs iBiography files off the shelves NMA TV with its surely drug-induced take on the Jobs book. 5 Awkward job application (spoof) "Most people run in the morning. But I run before bed – just to keep my edge" 6 Johnny Depp takes on Ricky Gervais No one makes fun of Tim Allen on our watch either. 7 The world is obsessed with Facebook Some old stats in there, but the gist hits the nail. 8 Johnnie Walker - the important man 9 Make up boy I've almost definitely seen this happen on a weekender in Brighton 10 Ace Halloween ad The 31st is almost upon us.
