This week on Tomboy Tirade, go bananas with Lingxi Xiong and Jason Hau from Wah!Bananas as we talk about selfies, the guy who got kicked in the head by train conductor, Avril Lavigne's latest music video, Hello Kitty craze in Singapore, Youtube and going viral.
Persis and Raven want to become infamous so they hired Lingxi Xiong and Jason Hau from Singapore's top comedy youtube channel Wah!Banana to produce a viral video for Tomboy Tirade. After all, these guys have not just one, but two videos which are among the Top 10 most viewed youtube videos from Singapore in 2013.
As the Wah!Banana crew set up under the trees, Persis and Raven find out the hilarious alternative name to Wah!Banana, if there is any erhm naughty wah! in the banana ;) and how Lingxi and Jason are coping with a new cast and the pressure of living up to expectations.
First up in the firing line is a new nominee for the Darwin sweepstakes - the guy takes selfie video and gets kicked in the head by the conductor for standing too close to the train.
Hello Kitty is the next target - first as the McDonald craze that is returning to Singapore and other as the title of Arvil Laviange 's confusing new Gothic + cupcakes music video which looks like a blatant rip off from Gwen Stewani 's Harajuku Girls = 10 years too late. Has she missed out on the current Korean wave memo? Ka-ka-ka-ka-kawaii!
Next everyone turns to their attention to why Asians like to watch youtube videos, especially funny ones. Lingyi and Jason takes the Tomboy Tarts through the process of making a Wah!Banana video and share their favourite youtube Personality and Wah!Bananans video.
Karen learns to dance in a year and the video becomes a viral hit. She later shared her strategy in an article on medium called "Ten ways to make your videos go viral". We discuss how videos like Wah!Banana go viral and agree that content is still the king as Wah!Banana reveals the secret to their success.
Then it is time to shoot the viral video and the Tomboy Tarts are interrupted by a mysterious unidentified flying. Did Persis and Raven just score a viral hit that landed from the sky?
