To promote the show's eighth season last year a new cast was brought in consisting of Haley Joel Osment, Xzibit, Andrew Dice Clay, Chael Sonnen and Candace Cameron in a series of hilarious parodies. To […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=grdzCU3VbJ4?rel=0 Remember just a couple of days ago when we discussed that this NBA playoff commercial might be the best playoff commercial of 2013? We'd like to take our vote back. ESPN has raised the bar with this incredible piece of animation from London-based animator Richard Swarbrick which highlights some of the greatest moments in […]

Burger King is trying to create their own "McRib sensation" by proudly announcing something is back that most people had no idea was ever on the menu […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=6q02ARCQpxg?rel=0 What's worse than a cell phone contract? Not much, according to Boost Mobile. In their new commercial titled "Junk Dunk", Boost Mobile claims that cell phone contracts are worse than being posterized on the court – even if you get junk in your face. Well…this ad certainly caught our attention. It's pretty hard to […]

In the case of Roger Winsor, a Canadian realtor that specializes in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, he decided to go a different route entirely. The ad […]

Noticing that some of the parks and paths were a bit overgrown, Gillette dressed up a trimmer as a giant razor and set out to give the city a close shave. Over […]

Kmart is building off of their successful "Ship my pants" formula. You might recall that we wrote about Kmart's "Ship my pants" ad and how it took the advertising world by storm. Now Kmart has released a new spot that uses a similar shtick – "Big gas savings!" http://youtube.com/watch?v=m1yir-p68xM?rel=0 When I first heard Kmart rolled […]

Cool Whip has a public service announcement: Stop mistreating cakes! Created in the same all-too-familiar tone of the emotionally draining Sarah McLachlan animal abuse PSA, Cool Whip warns that the images you're about to see might be difficult to look at. http://youtube.com/watch?v=RZAIJAmPn44?rel=0 Those poor little cakes. You monsters! Cool Whip went the public service announcement […]

Stephen A. Smith loves dissecting opinions. In a new commercial for McDonald's, he discusses LeBron James Tweeting about his love for McDonald's Chicken McNuggets. Smith claims LeBron doesn't know what he's talking about and that Nuggets are no match for a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. This stance gets viewers talking, debating which item is the […]

The slogan for Redd Pest Solutions is "Call the Redd Man." Pretty standard and innocent stuff, right? Not exactly. The company's perfectly acceptable slogan looks pretty ugly when you realize the logo they use to represent their operations is a Native American. Awkward. We're guessing no one over at Redd stopped and considered the slogan […]

New Spock battles Old Spock in a terrific new advertisement from Audi. Chock full of hilarious Star Trek and old-school Leonard Nimoy references, this might have been the most enjoyable two and half minute commercial we've ever sat through. Zachary Quinto (New Spock) races Leonard Nimoy (Old Spock) to see which man can make it to […]

From numerous spots for Nike to a memorable stunt where he raced a Bugatti on foot, most of Ronaldo's appearances have at least been logical ones showing off his skills and fitness. Then there's his appearance in […]
