http://youtube.com/watch?v= zOhVbvHm70[/youtube] I didn't think that there could be anything worse than Snuggies, but someone decided to one-up them. Before we dive into this minute long "buy your girlfriend pajamas and she'll love you forever" nonsense, let's just all agree that one of the items featured in this commercial, the Hoodie-Footie, has certainly trumped the […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= OXMnGdPobx8[/youtube] Um, so yeah. A kid walks into his room on his 11th birthday and is so excited by whatever he sees that he can't stop saying "oh my god," and essentially starts crying. For that kind of reaction, I'm expecting to see one of three things: His favorite NFL player, ready to play […]

Ah, the Super Bowl. For someone who majored in advertising in college and loves football, it's sensory overload to the max. You're thinking to yourself "okay I really hope I don't have to sit through some ad the director of Vanilla Sky threw together after a four-day bender that no one understands. Funny, I want […]

The fine folks over at Puck Drunk Love alerted us to the fact that one of Wayne's Gretzky's most famous quotes is being used to sell tequila. The quote we're talking about is of course, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take". Aww. So motivational. And true! You certainly won't get anywhere by not […]

Even though it’s been a while since the Mac vs. PC ad campaign from Apple debuted (now it’s just them one-upping their own technology), I remember them well and recall that they had some gems. So this week’s top 10 list is brought to you by Apple. 10) Viruses http://youtube.com/watch?v= ZwQpPqPKbAw[/youtube] Poor PC is sick […]

Yeah, so um, this happened: http://youtube.com/watch?v= vcjf4aRpnq8[/youtube] Charles Barkley and Weight Watchers for Men want you, a man, to believe that for every 35 pounds you lose you MAY gain an extra inch of your good friend Buster McThunderstick. That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life. I mean, for those […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= VDmDor2rzW4[/youtube] This commercial for Head & Shoulders has bothered me since the first time I saw it. I can't remember when that was, because I'm clearly trying to block it out. First of all, I mean, just technically speaking, it does not take 30 seconds to catch a pop-up. Secondly, at U.S. Cellular Field, […]

There are few ad campaigns I can think of that are as popular and have gone as viral as the Allstate Mayhem commercials. They take the unexpected and make it hilarious while still making a valid point. Because, let’s face it: insurance is boring. No one cares about it until they need it. The Mayhem […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= 9UvVmMamNgE[/youtube] CHANEL released part two of its Brad Pitt acid trip, and this version is no better. It's the EXACT SAME SCRIPT of him mumbling the exact same nonsense only this time the focus is on models either gazing or walking or strutting or twirling…I'm not really sure. But, this could be a brilliant […]

Nike announced this morning that they had terminated their sponsorship of Lance Armstrong in response to doping allegations. Now, we can look back on all of his self-righteous "I'm not 'on' anything except my bike and how DARE you indicate otherwise" ads: http://youtube.com/watch?v= MIl5RxhLZ5U[/youtube] You can just HEAR the arrogance in his voice. Let's watch […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= mGs4CjeJiJQ[/youtube] Okay people, we've reached a new level of creepy that seriously should be studied. Brad Pitt was paid $7 MILLION DOLLARS to utter exactly 40 words. That's $175,000 a word. Obviously Chanel No. 5 just wanted an easy, round, number to throw at their CFO. But money isn't the issue here (well, it's sort of […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= d6ZVpOvRfIs[/youtube] I like Aaron Rodgers. Really, I do. He seems like a good guy. You never hear about him pulling NFL player diva like shenanigans, which is refreshing. And up until now, his State Farm commercials have been charming, if nothing else. But then. This commercial with him at career day at an elementary […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v= KLZOhz4qp68[/youtube] I'm not really sure what the point of this NASCAR commercial is. Losing is more painful than (insert idiotic analogy here). The commercial is bad enough to begin with but takes a turn for the WTF when Jimmie Johnson is bottle feeding a porcupine in a rocking chair. Why? Why? No, really. […]

Is there an athlete out there who does more commercials than Peyton Manning? I really don’t think there is. From Oreos to Gatorade to Buick, Manning is front and center in the world of athlete endorsements. We decided to compile the “Top 10” Manning commercials. Some, quite frankly, are awful, where others do a great […]
