Freddie W's 'Power Hour' is a hilarious parody on [Kanye West's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-your-gameday-epic) video for his hit song 'Power'. The video is essentially imitating life in college and university, going through all the classic [drinking games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desperados-beer).

From [beer pong](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-for-dos) to Edward 40-hands, the games continue throughout the video until its gross and predictable ending. Definitely a great cultural reference to a student's way of life, Freddie W's 'Power Hour' is worth a look.

**Implications** - Popular culture is becoming more than just a form of entertainment. Consumers are looking for products that are integrated with some aspect of a popular character. Companies could integrate their items with certain media figures in order to appeal to a greater audience.
