Our most successful viral was created within 48 hours of it becoming clear that the sound of vuvuzelas was a major talking point of the 2010 World Cup.

The viral underlays repeating vuvuzela audio to any website, allowing everybody to do it on their own and friends’ websites, making the joke personalised for all.
