The upcoming Madden NFL 16 video game is coming out soon, and with it comes an absolutely bonkers advertisement for the popular series. There’s a lot to digest in this one. The spot stars Dave Franco as Blade Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Janet and a bevy of NFL stars including Rob Gronkowski, Julio Jones, Antonio […]

Footlocker is in a category all of its own in terms of producing great commercials starring athletes. As long as they keep making great spots, we will continue to share them. One of their latest spots features Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant (and friends) and it’s all about the jubilation of eruption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMStPjv0CdI The […]

ESPN released an ambitious advertisement which features the many teams, mascots, coaches and players of NCAA College Football. The spot seems to draw inspiration from a variety of things. The first couple scenes are reminiscent of Game of Thrones, as Ohio State coach Urban Meyer announces “they’re coming,” in a call to defend his throne, as […]

Rob Gronkowski is one of the NFL’s most marketable stars. Unlike teammate Tom Brady, who (pre-deflate gate) is known for his squeaky clean image, Gronkowski is the ultimate bro who crushes beers and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. The NFL offseason is often hailed as the Summer of Gronk for a reason. Gronk has […]

There have been persistent rumors that NBA superstar LeBron James is going to suit up with the Looney Tunes in a new adaptation of the classic film Space Jam. While nothing has been announced, we have a great holdover as Jordan shoes have released a new video which pits Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin […]

Jon Stewart and Arby’s have had a long relationship where Jon dishes easy jokes and Arby’s tweets back or just takes the flak. With Jon signing off on Thursday night, the feud ended and Arby’s sent a reply back sarcastically thanking Jon – at least I think it was sarcastic.

Isaiah Mustafa and Terry Crews have both starred in some immensely successful commercials for Old Spice. We could sit around and debate which Old Spice guy is better – Mustafa’s smooth “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” or Crews’ shouting, muscular portrayal – but we’ve never been forced to have that conversation. Until now, […]

The Hoverboard is here. Well, kind of. Ever since Back to the Future II came out back in 1989, people have clamored for a company to create the Hoverboard seen frequently throughout the movie. There have been several attempts, but Lexus has unveiled their version which appears to be the closest iteration of the beloved […]

Sometimes the best publicity comes from unlikely places. Case and point, it went viral that a little kid in Louisiana had a hero themed birthday, but it wasn’t an Iron Man or Batman theme. Instead it was for his most noteworthy idol, personal injury lawyer Morris Bart. “He’s always been very drawn to Morris Bart […]

I’ve written before about Geico’s amazing advertising but every so often we need a reminder. One of the most impressive things they’ve done is run great ad campaigns all year along with the headliners, the Gecko and the Cavemen, mixed in. They are the characters we most associate with Geico so their value to the company […]

Apartments.com found success in those bizarre, yet entertaining Jeff Goldblum commercials. The ads have been on television all the time, but the campaign hasn’t been limited to just TV. Physical ads have popped up in various cities and this one takes the whole Goldblum strategy to another level. Via Reddit: Shots fired! Whether or not Apartments.com […]

Sling TV wants to let customers know you’re not going to be bullied when signing up for cable anymore. In their latest spot “TakeBackTV: Old TV Model,” the company uses bullying as a way to relate to old methods in signing up for a cable package. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2AKQ-aTh7U “You’ll pay for 400 channels and like it,” […]

Windows 10 is almost officially out and Microsoft released a new commercial to pair with it. This spot hits all the commercial checklist cliches. We have multiple toddlers making funny faces, lush landscapes, a generic voice over, pop-song and a catchphrase – the future starts now – that sounds like it could be used for […]

It’s not often a car commercial is unique and interesting. Most would rather sell features and 0% APR instead of a feeling. The newest Honda Pilot ad goes all out for the loving family feeling with a boring car ride turned sing-a-long. It helps that all the actors are good singers and the song choice […]
