Cristiano Ronaldo and Pele star in a new commercial for Emirates which shows off one of the airliner’s fanciest planes.

You’re not you when you’re hungry. That’s been the message we’ve seen from Snickers for quite some time, but now the company has brought the message to life in an interesting Australian stunt. Here some Aussie construction workers ditch their stereotypical catcalls and whistles and instead shouted empowering statements to the women below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gjsoSY18kg It’s […]

Sprint adds a hamster to their Framily Plan

0 comments by David Rogers on 3/24/2014

Sprint’s Friends & Family plan is a pretty cool concept. Sure, the vast majority of us would have absolutely no use for 10 lines on the same plan, but it’s nice to have the option. Unfortunately, Spring really dropped the ball when it came to marketing the plan. Framily. Sprint committed the unforgivable act of […]

Pringles and their imaginary dip

0 comments by David Rogers on 3/23/2014

New Pringles Tortillas are apparently so good that they’re best eaten plain. Evidently, no dip is required. Instead of just coming out and showing how good the chips are and how they’re superior to chips loaded with dip, Pringles decided to make their consumers look like they have some sort of disorder. Behold – Imaginary […]

Awful Classics: Gatorade’s Gator Gum

0 comments by David Rogers on 3/22/2014

Do you remember Gator Gum from Gatorade? It was designed to be a chewing gum which had a “unique mouth-watering formula” which would help quench thirst. It sounds like a ridiculous idea – gum quenching your thirst – which is why the product was discontinued in 1989. If you’re wondering, the commercials were about as […]

Dish Network gives us a reason to hate kangaroos

0 comments by David Rogers on 3/21/2014

Kangaroos are kind of awesome. That’s what makes this commercial from Dish Network such a crime against humanity. In a spot promoting the fact you can watch Dish just about anywhere, the company uses a CGI-stuffed animal kangaroo with the voice of Rebel Wilson to annoy an entire office. We often receive Tweets from our […]

Another uncomfortable ad from Trojan

Your dad is about to go out on a big date. What do you offer him? Some advice? Well wishes that it goes well? None of the above. You offer him a condom. Why? Because your family is creepy like that, apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgPbp-aMpvE We’re all about encouraging the young and old to practice safe sex, […]

Geico’s latest interesting partnership is with M&M

0 comments by David Rogers on 3/6/2014

It's always interesting when two very different brands team up. This partnership from M&M and Geico is both unexpected and original, combining the power of Geico's gecko and a female brown M&M. Apparently the delicious candy is interested in car insurance, but the gecko just can't offer a quote to a food item. Oh, and there's […]
