Bacon, bacon and more bacon in Taco Bell’s latest ad

Everybody loves bacon apparently, according to the Internet and this Taco Bell commercial for their bacon club chalupa. Personally, I think bacon is overrated, which is apparently a very unpopular opinion. Anyways, in the ad a man goes up a mall escalator and notices that everything around him has been baconized. Bacon Couture, bacon sunglasses, bacon shoe […]

Pampers films babies soiling themselves in new ad and it’s hilarious

This might be the funniest ad I’ve ever seen. Pampers decided it would be a good idea (it was) to film babies ‘poofaces’ aka their reactions of when they soil themselves, and did so in glorious 400 FPS. Throw in possibly the greatest use of music from the classic 2001: A Space Odyssey outside the film over […]

The Darrell Hammond KFC ads remain spectacularly weird, but maybe that’s OK

I’ve talked about KFC’s relaunch of Colonel Sanders in the past, and my conclusion then was the results of the rebranding effort were mixed. The ads were bizarre. Instead of the sweet old Colonel that was shown in the ads of old, they replaced their iconic founder with former SNL impressionist Darrell Hammond – and that’s a […]

Bizzare Japanese Three Second Cook commercial wins award

One of the most bizarre, amazing commercials has won a gold award this week at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. The spot called ‘Three Second Cook,” by the Japanese company Docomo is a pleasure to watch. Things start off pretty normal, as two women prepare to cook shrimp. The hook? They’re going to do it […]

When there is a rain delay at Wrigley Field, expect things to get shiny. The Chicago Cubs and Reynolds Consumer Products have reached an agreement where the new tarp during rain delays will resemble aluminum foil (one of the company’s products) and have a Reynolds branded tarp.

Mariah Carey to replace Kate Upton in iconic Game of War: Fire Age spots

Last time we checked in with the freemium mobile game Game of War: Fire Age, they were reaping the benefits of creating a pretty brilliant ad campaign featuring supermodel Kate Upton. The game itself was nothing special, but the $40 million ad campaign transcended it. It got people playing and in turn made the mobile […]

Richard Sherman stars in hilarious Jurassic World promo

Sometimes promo videos combine two subjects that shouldn’t mix well together, yet totally work. Case in point, this new promo for Jurassic World by ESPN took previously seen trailer footage for the film, and put in Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. The results are pretty hilarious. Watch Sherman entering Jurassic Park. This is a lot of […]

It is something we take, by finding purpose in every challenge, experience, victory and feeling. Join […]

In the spots Gold talks about how he’s OK with his retirement, when throughout the ad he’s miserable. See him sporting […]

This Kobe Bryant and Lionel Messi spot named best YouTube video of the decade

YouTube has named its best advertisement of the decade. The ad Kobe vs. Messi: The Selfie Shootout, by Turkish Airlines has received the honor based on public vote, and that makes perfect sense. The spot features Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant and FC Barecelona’s Lionel Messi, two of the highest profiled and paid athletes on the […]

Buzzfeed’s Purina Commercial is surprisingly enjoyable

What happens when a moustachioed hipster decides on a whim to adopt a puppy? A Purina dog food ad of course! This spot produced by Buzzfeed does a very solid job as coming off as a short video, opposed to being an actual advertisement. Make no mistake – Purina logos are everywhere and there are […]
