Sound the alarm - this is one intense clip. One might say it's as intense as an electrical storm. A parody of both overly zealous car commercials and all energy drink ads, "Powerthirst" combines The Hulk, babies, an angry man in a beret, Kenyans and TurboPuns to create one of the best Internet clips out there.

Featuring mock energy drinks like "Shockolate" and "Rawberry," all advertising increased men-ergy, sports energy and running speed, "Powerthirst" puts drinks like Red Bull and Rockstar to shame.

If one were to analyze the structure of the clip itself, it could be seen as a kind of relatively successful advertisement because it includes the quick pace of subliminal messaging and the type of screaming that all viewers typically respond to.

Besides, who wouldn't buy this product? It will make your babies run abnormally fast.
