Bore Me has compiled a list of the top virals of 2005, and the Volkswagen suicide-bomber spoof commercial is on top, edging out President Bush’s tussle with a locked door in China. Interestingly, VW also sits atop Bore Me’s list of the top legitimate viral ads of 2005—for its spot with a break-dancing Gene Kelly from Singin’ in the Rain. Also on the latter list: the Toyota Tacoma meteor ad that had many viewers all jammed up about whether or not the footage was real.
