Super Bowl ads used to be pretty secretive. No one knew what a company would roll out until they saw it during the game. Those days are over. Now ads are teased and sometimes even shown days before the Super Bowl. The idea is to build buzz about your ad and try to get the […]

Progressive's original Young Flo ad showed us a glimpse of Flo as a child running for school president. It was a somewhat refreshing take on an exhausted topic. By now we all know that Flo wants to save you money, but the spin seen in the original Young Flo ad was at least something we hadn't […]

It's pretty big news in the soccer world when a player ditches the English Premier League in favor of Major League Soccer. When it was officially announced that Jermain Defoe would be leaving Tottenham for Toronto in February, it's safe to say some soccer fans in the U.K. were pretty surprised.  Toronto FC tried to capture […]

Duracell and the Derrick Coleman of the Seattle Seahawks have teamed up and created the best battery commercial we've ever seen. Coleman has been deaf since he was three and has faced plenty of adversity on his road to the NFL.  Despite plenty of people counting him out, Coleman pressed on and kept pursuing his […]

Take a look around you the next time you go to a bar or restaurant. Over the course of the night you should see plenty of phones. It's incredible. Full tables of people you assume are all friends have their mobile devices out. Are they talking to each other? Kind of, but the bulk of […]

The Protein Fight Club commercials designed to promote milk are really, really stupid. In fact, we've already made fun of one where a woman makes a weird omelet inside a cup. Here milk battles an Everything Bagel and the results are annoying. Oh so annoying.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=wXcR-RIulMw?rel=0 The actual idea – showing off how much protein […]

It's not often we'd encourage you to watch an ad which is a whopping two minutes long. We'll make an exception for this outstanding P&G Olympic ad which celebrates the fact that sometimes it takes falling – and a little help from Mom –  to make us stronger.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=57e4t-fhXDs?rel=0 This tribute to moms is a […]

Old Spice commercials have been pretty weird for the last few years. At first they fell into the Weird: Charming category, with ads built around the idea of the Old Spice Man and The Man Your Man Could Smell like. The ads then became bigger, louder and more bizarre. They fell into a Weird: Annoying […]

Low budget commercials are incredible. Each one is instantly recognizable the moment it comes on your TV. Not because of brand awareness or brand recognition, but because of the horrible audio quality, bad acting and even worse editing.  This commercial for Purnell's "Old Folks" sausage is the perfect example of what makes low budget ads […]

Wendy's is out to prove that Wendy, their spokeswoman, works with the biggest group of morons on the planet. In an effort to promote their Spicy Chipotle Sandwiches, the company created yet another annoying commercial where Wendy is the smug, brilliant individual surrounded by incompetent coworkers.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=iOdcK42Di7g?rel=0 1. Where does Wendy work and why do they […]

The latest trend seen in various television commercials is the usage of GIFs. To be clear, the advertisements try to incorporate the popular way to share media online in their commercial by showing one action repeated over and over through looping video. The results have been disastrous. We first ripped on Kmart. Now our attention […]

Beats by Dre has been mostly unchallenged in the audio and headphones market. If you've been following along the last couple of years, you've probably noticed tons and tons of Beats commercials. Those commercials are pretty awful, but that's not the point of this article. JBL Synchros headphones has called out Beats by Dre. In […]

Nike is trying to make hockey fans forget that they're the ones responsible for some of the worst hockey uniforms the sport has ever seen. To do this, they've rolled out one of the most epic hockey commercials we've seen in quite some time. Considering just how impressive the NHL's advertising has been over the […]

Gatorade wanted to celebrate Peyton Manning's 51 touchdown passes. There were a number of ways they could do this, but they chose one of the more creative routes. The company took images from each and every touchdown pass and combined them into one nearly seamless video.  The result was a fantastic tip of the cap […]
