Aren’t YouTube viral wannabees great? Why spend a lot of money or try to be overly creative when you don’t have to? Just slap up some cheesy images of cats (everyone loves cats, right?), cobble them together with a few amateurish slide transitions and finish it off with an image of Hellboy holding a cat.
If the link to this so-bad-it-just-might-be-good video hadn’t come from Fallon digital unit Hyper, there would have been no indication it’s a promotion for Hellboy 2. But…isn’t that sort of the point anyway? Aim for the amateurish so as to appear un-ad-like, don’t mention who made it then cross your fingers and hope it spreads. Simple, right?
