Two brilliant spoof videos lampooning the hysteria over the new iPhone launch sit atop our Viral Video Charts this week.

Jimmy Kimmel tops the Brand Chart after inviting Americans to road-test the new iPhone 5 - despite the fact that it isn't actually available yet.

Instead the testers were fooled into thinking that an iPhone 4 was actually the new model, with all giving the 'new' phone rave reviews compared to its predecessor.

John Elerick tops the User Generated Content chart after recruiting some friends to make a spoof promo for the much-anticipated device from Apple. The video has received over 2 million views and 38 thousand shares since it was uploaded just two days ago.

The charts are compiled with the Viral Ad Network and are based on the number of shares each video has received on social media over the last seven days.
