but is it real or is it fake? let's watch and find out. >> driving is very easy. just relax and drive, okay? >> this viral video hit the internet in 2008. >> watch for the pedestrian in front of you. >> just how frustrated can a driving instructor get? we're about to see. [ cell phone ringing ] >> hello. >> no, no talking on the telephone. >> what's up? >> hang up the phone. >> hey, just stop snapping. >> grandma! yeah, it's me. >> 10 and 2 with the hands. 10 and 2. >> he's clapping -- >> no, no, no. >> oh, my god. >> hang up the god [ bleep ] phone. >> it seemed a genuine reaction of the instructors that struck a cord with everybody. you're watching this going, i can't believe this kid had the [ bleep ] to do this. i can't believe he pulled it off and i can't believe these people didn't slap him silly. >> but the ever-cynical online viewing audience had its doubts. >> 10 and 2. 10 and 2. >> this is not a nightclub.

>> that is so stupid. >> i couldn't tell about this one if it was real or fake. i had a few things that made me skeptical. one, you can see a lot of different camera angles. especially when he first gets in the car i counted four different ages and that's a pretty elaborate setup for a high school kid. >> was the video for real? this is a two-part question. first, is the kid playing a prank or is this a genuine situation caught on camera. second, if it is a prank are the instructors in on it or are these real reactions? yes and no, but mostly, no. >> this one had me fooled 110%. >> while most of the driving teachers were actual instructors, two were actors. in both cases the videos were unscripted depending on the improv skills of the student. this actor -- >> go right. keep your hands on the wheel. this is totally dangerous. >> people ask is it real or fake and i say, it's both.

i mean, you kind of at one point do you draw the line between is it real or fake. >> sir, may i have your attention? >> pull over! >> i kept talking like a friend of mine, like some beach bum dude named kenny, and describing everything in the world to him and talking about the house or kind of stupid stuff. i was talking with my grandma a couple of times and he yelled really loud. >> we're probably going to have to go back. >> no, i'm driving. >> just pull over here. >> i'm just being a little arrogant son of a [ bleep ] in the car. the hardest thing for me was actually rounding the guys up. >> keep your [bleep]ing hand on the driving wheel. >> driving? you mean like steering wheel? >> i would hit garbage cans and stuff and even then it took them a while to get angry. >> we all like to see other people getting tormented and laugh at other people's misfortunes. the emotional reactions or the driving instructors were

extraordinarily genuine. they were angry and scared. they were in shock and disbelief. >> i swear to god, it's the house from "wayne's world." >> no, straight. >> internet fame has often been the main reason for posting these videos but there was another motive behind this one. advertising. >> can i have my phone back? >> no. >> it turns out the series of videos was a campaign for a wireless headset provider. most people don't know that. that's the best part. most people watch it and think it's an amazing video and share it with somebody. >> as you know from the first of july, you're not allowed to talk on the cell phone. >> i can't hold on to the phone in the car. ridiculous. >> parrot is the worlds largest manufacturer of hands-free car kits and we wanted to show how complicated and inconvenient and sometimes, even dangerous it becomes to be talking on the phone while you're trying to concentrate and do something else. >> parrot communications and ground zero advertising bet on viral video to drive their point home. but what makes the video so believable is there's an element of reality to it. >> pull over. get out of the car. i'm driving.

>> hold on, hold on. >> get out of the car. >> we showed the problem going out and secretly signing up a bunch of driving instructors. they showed up and they were unaware that our student driver was actually a plant. and as he was taking his driving course, he would continue to answer fake phone calls throughout and we had cameras hidden in the air freshener, another camera hidden in the glove box and so forth. so while he'd take his phone calls the driving instructors would get more and more infuriated. >> will you type in her number? >> no. phone over. >> i deleted her number. >> keep your [bleep]ing hands on the driving wheel. >> for parrot this was a home run because it allowed them to get a message out to a lot of people in an impactful way for a not a ton of money. >> our sales were up three times in california over where we were before we started. >> the online hits kept coming and buzz on the video grew. >> i think it was a million

clicks the first wreak. >> we have to pull over. >> no, i'm driving. >> you want to get pizza? >> no. i think we're just going to chill. >> it was just tremendously funny. and that's what drove the viral success of this campaign. people were sending around to others saying, you've got to see this. that's the best thing you can hope for. >> curious about the driving instructors. want to know who was real and who was fake? here you go. these two are the actors. but did it really matter? the video was flat-out funny and became an instant classic. >> part of the balance is figuring out whether to make something believable and emotional and not over the top. and that's a very hard chord to strike and whether you're a teenage kid, a mother or a marketer. it's a real struggle for people because everyone instantly tries to find the big bang. the thing that really sparks a chord. but oftentimes, that big bang thing is much more subtle than people realize. >> if you want to be a part of something good that people see than having something that's crappy all over the place.

so i think they just did it right and it worked out well with this video that it was really funny and people liked it. >> you got to hang up the phone. we're done! we're done! stop it. our next video starts out somewhat ominously. we find ourselves in a university lecture hall. >> as a viewer you're like, why are we watching a video of a ♪ you come to class and it seems videos like this. >> you haven't seen it before. he goes through the entire musical number. he doesn't care that no one is ninning around the class room and engaging with the audience that's not necessarily engaging
