Kraft's online banner ad for what I can only assume is their Italian dressing is … interesting. First of all – hot, shirtless dude is not an original way to sell anything. We've been doing this forever. Second of all, when you "click me" you are taken to a site allowing you to send "zestygrams." […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=bpopOOLLLFE?rel=0 Hyundai should be ashamed. A commercial linked to the car manufacturer has leaked on to the Internet and it depicts a failed suicide attempt while promoting their clean emissions engine. Huffington Post has noted that it's unclear whether Hyundai approved or actually intended to air this ad that apparently came from the advertising agency Innocean. Whether or […]

The New York Times allowed an online ad depicting a man on the ground with a bloody face to appear next to coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing. The ad appeared next to coverage highlighting the one-week anniversary of the bombing. Not surprisingly, the placement and timing of the ad immediately received complaints. The ad […]

There are times where a commercial does all of the talking for us. This is one of those amazing times. Honestly, what more can we say about Tony Siragusa pitching "shields" and "guards" for men that evidently drip or leak all over their pants? "Leak a little? Guard your manhood." That's gold. You can also […]

In an unexpected partnership, Google Chrome has teamed up with Family Guy in a new commercial which shows that while Chrome can't prevent you from being interrupted, it can help you pick up where you left off by displaying your content across Google's devices. Google chose a rather memorable scene from Family Guy where Stewie […]

9:30pm: It's been a long week here in Boston. What's even the right word for a week of tragic events, all spread out over three cities? If Don Draper were around, he would have figured out the right label for the week's events, and then created a great commercial to promote The One Fund Boston, the […]
http://youtube.com/watch?v=R6QvdgZqAFs Nike Golf came out with a new trick shot ad this week featuring Rory McIlroy and other professional golfers. The ad focuses on the RZN golf ball with McIlroy and his friends doing trick shots and kicking it around like a soccer ball. If you're thinking you've seen something similar to this before, […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=EL5dQPgx3-M?rel=0 Philips Norelco is receiving plenty of attention – both positive and negative – over their new ad campaign where men claim they'd sleep with themselves (awkward sentence of the year) after grooming with a Norelco. In the ads, hairy men are using their Philips Norelco to groom and style their beards, chest hair and […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=voWvqBsyYbE?rel=0 Facebook Home had a pretty successful debut in the world of advertising thanks to an interesting ad where Home livens up a dull flight. Unfortunately, their next effort titled "Dinner" is one we have an issue with. A large family sits around a table eating. As expected, an older relative is telling story after […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=loinY8MmVq8?rel=0 Fans of the Matrix should be pretty happy with this new commercial from General Electric (GE). In an effort to show off how the company helps create and develop technology for brilliant machines (in this case for use in a hospital), GE went out and asked Hugo Weaving to don the suit and reprise […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=NpH73ZIOyS0?rel=0 Vertical stripes – pinstripes even – are supposed to have a slimming effect. On the flip side, wearing horizontal stripes or hoops does the opposite, making you look a bit wider than you actually are. These theories have been put to the test, but the best evidence may come courtesy of this new This […]

This Xfinity OnDemand ad is so bad I am going to do this in bullets. – The satellite dish around the dude's neck – too hyperbolic – People lifting weights are normally not talking to each other – And if they are talking to each other, it's probably not about cable – Using "man up" […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=YU6L_4q2mcM?rel=0 If you watched the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, one commercial might have caught your attention in a sea of ads for various upcoming movies and beauty products. A distorted, black and white ad was directed at the people of Earth from General Zod (Kneel before Zod!), villain of Man of Steel due out […]
