Stephen A. Smith loves dissecting opinions. In a new commercial for McDonald's, he discusses LeBron James Tweeting about his love for McDonald's Chicken McNuggets. Smith claims LeBron doesn't know what he's talking about and that Nuggets are no match for a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. This stance gets viewers talking, debating which item is the […]

The slogan for Redd Pest Solutions is "Call the Redd Man." Pretty standard and innocent stuff, right? Not exactly. The company's perfectly acceptable slogan looks pretty ugly when you realize the logo they use to represent their operations is a Native American. Awkward. We're guessing no one over at Redd stopped and considered the slogan […]

9:45pm: Tonight’s episode of Mad Men is entitled “The Crash,” which is hopefully referring to Don Draper’s untimely demise. Well, given Don’s rampant alcoholism, perhaps his demise is overdue. After last week’s episode, all I want in life is for Mad Men to focus exclusively on the adventures of Ted Chaough. I want the Jon Hamm of The […]

New Spock battles Old Spock in a terrific new advertisement from Audi. Chock full of hilarious Star Trek and old-school Leonard Nimoy references, this might have been the most enjoyable two and half minute commercial we've ever sat through. Zachary Quinto (New Spock) races Leonard Nimoy (Old Spock) to see which man can make it to […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=vnq8EdvcQwA?rel=0 Cristiano Ronaldo has been used to sell a wide range of products over the course of his career. From numerous spots for Nike to a memorable stunt where he raced a Bugatti on foot, most of Ronaldo's appearances have at least been logical ones showing off his skills and fitness. Then there's his appearance in […]

J.C. Penney recently ran apology ads directed at customers that were upset when the retailer made some drastic changes such as eliminating coupons (what?) and removing popular brands in favor of carrying other brands targeting younger consumers. After dismissing their CEO and bringing in a new face, the apology ads started running at the beginning […]

Terry Crews is back with Old Spice. The last time we saw him he was playing music with his muscles, crashing through walls and promoting Old Spice body wash and body spray. This time, he's in two commercials pitching the company's new shaving gel. Not surprisingly, the company has stuck with their advertising formula which […]

The site CougarLife.com is promoted as a destination for men to date and hook up with a Cougar. If you're not familiar with the "Cougar" expression, it's an older woman that's pursuing sexual relations with a younger man. Think Mrs. Robinson from The Graduate. At the same time, the site aims to hook up older […]

With the Stanley Cup playoffs in full swing, it's only appropriate that we stop and take a look back at one of the most memorable ads to come from the NHL. When it comes to advertising, the NHL has a pretty high rate of success. They've used the extremely successful History Will Be Made campaign […]

9:37pm: Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner is a man with a plan. This series must end in the near future, and Mr. Weiner is working devilishly to end it with Don as ruined as possible. The merger of SCDP and CG&C (Ted Chaough's agency) adds another creative mind directly in Don's own company, and Don's never […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=WTz_8kdsruw Better Call Saul this is not. One Jacksonville area lawyer, John Morgan, recorded a minute long radio ad not to sell his business. Not to promote his work to potential customers. No, that would be silly. Instead, Mr. Morgan dedicated a minute to plead with Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan to sign Tim Tebow. […]

Need a Mother's Day gift idea? Take her to Hooters. This online ad that we caught running over on ESPN says that if you bring your mom to Hooters on Mother's Day she'll eat for free, assuming she orders a drink and keeps it under $10. What better way to tell your mom how much […]

Local commercials are comedy gold. They usually take themselves way too seriously and the end result is a mockery of the world of advertising. Then there are commercials like this one for a transmission service in California that leaves all seriousness at the door and raises the bar for local advertisements. We're not sure if […]

A Spanish organization, Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk (or ANAR), has created a very innovative way to help abused children. The ad tries to prevent child abuse regardless of who sees it, but an adult will see a different message than a child. The idea is that even if a child is with […]
