• Top 5 Branded Videos of the Week: One salad, two bombs, and three Joe Rogans

  Joe Rogan got a lot of face time on our Gospel Stats Weekly Brand Reports in the leadup to the 2024 election--and now that the election is over, he's getting even more. This week, he's not just spot #1, but got in at #6 and #7, too. Aside from the Roganpalooza, we have Kurzgesagt and NileBlue both chiming in for some Ms. Frizzle moments, plus a stretchy Short and a deep dive into dinner from that one very pale, deaging-obsessed biohacker who uses his son like a Mad Max: Fury Road blood bag.

Since these videos were both released in the leadup to the election, we now know the outcome--including how Rogan, Von, and Adin Ross were shotued out by UFC CEO Dana White during Donald Trump's victory speech. Surreal. As for the rest of the lineup, we depart from politics into baseball, science, a splash of art, and one of the internet's favorite video games.

  
• Top 5 Branded Videos of the Week: The election, an Aston Martin, and one very haunted school

We have longtime fan favorite Epic Rap Battles with a fictional duke-it-out between candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, plus a visit to Theo Von from Trump's not-fictional running mate, JD Vance. But it's not all about the polls: Sam and Colby's annual Halloween monster mash got not one, but two spots this week, and Mat Armstrong returns with another carVertical gig.
