Did you watch Saturday Night Live yesterday, March 3rd? No? Me neither. In all honesty, I have no idea who was on the show or whether or not it was worth watching in the first place. What I do know is that the world is buzzing over a mysterious Daft Punk commercial which aired during […]

Playtex has a new print ad that caught our attention. It's also safe to say that's the first time any man has written that sentence without immediately bursting into laughter. The ad which appeared in the March 2013 edition of Glamour magazine, promoted Playtex's "Fresh + Sexy" wipes which … keep your beaver clean, for lack […]

Because how often do you get to see Shaq rubbing lotion on himself? I really think if you asked him what he was doing, he'd say, "moisturizing perfection." Right – so perfect that they decided to use a different body for the chest shot. I'm not even sure what to do with this one – […]

If you picked up a copy of the New York Times on Feb. 25th, you might have noticed an extremely clever print ad courtesy of Game of Thrones. An ominous shadow of a dragon stretches across two pages of the New York Times promoting the new season of Game of Thrones. Unfortunately, the shadow spans […]

This Nestle Grand Chocolat ad from France features an android indulging on some chocolate. The eating of such a delicacy appears to inspire emotion and thought for the android, proving just how rich and delightful the product is. At least, that's what we think is going on here. Honestly, this commercial might have spent a […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=yPjNcFQwSc4?rel=0 Get your tinfoil hat on, it's time for a conspiracy theory. Take a listen to the GEICO Paul Revere commercial above and pay close attention. Around the 0:16 mark, Revere turns around to return to his game of charades after warning that the British are coming. His friends (or family, we're not sure) make […]

The Doggie Doo commercial above was exposed to me for the first time while I was watching a rerun of Animaniacs this weekend. The Hub, a channel that shows programming mostly geared for children (and for adults that love Animaniacs), offers a glimpse into the life of children growing up in the 2010's. Hey kids! […]

Under Armour is rolling out their "I WILL" campaign featuring Bryce Harper. The ad, one that begins with a quote from Harper himself, depicts the young star of the Washington Nationals doing exactly what you'd expect in an Under Armour commercial – training and working out. Slow motion, weights and music that's designed to pump […]

This more than a little suggestive billboard featuring porn star and Charlie Sheen "goddess" Bree Olson lasted less than a week in downtown Chicago. According to the Chicago Tribune, the site using the space, ArrangementFinders.com, is unaware as to why it has been taken down. They paid for a month. The site is for "women seeking […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=oDofsLTo8u4 Panera is taking their advertising in a new direction. Instead of focusing on a specific new product or item at their stores, Panera is instead trying to convey a much more serious message by discussing what the company is all about and what happens away from the eye of the consumer. Rube Goldberg machines […]

It might be hard to believe, but Taco Bell was once branded "The Fresh Food Place." Seen in this commercial from back in 1979, Taco Bell took on a position that's not only currently held by Subway, but one that's pretty comical some 34 years later. Best of all, check out the outfits the Taco […]

Sony is using a rather interesting concept to demonstrate the Playstation Vita's functionality. The Vita, a handheld gaming device, is mostly used by male, teenage gamers. What better way to grab a man's attention than by showing a woman with four breasts? The Vita has input devices on both the front and the back, so […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=AI5UIP-qTs8?rel=0 Remember those Herbal Essences commercials where someone would wash their hair and moan with delight? You know, the ones that were extremely awkward to watch in a family setting? They're some of the most fun commercials to mock due to the complete absurdity of the situation. They're back! Herbal Essences has rehashed an old […]

The smell of a fresh pizza is a delightful one. As soon as the aroma hits your nose you instantly crave a piece, whether you're hungry or not. Pizza Hut has decided to take that concept to a new, and frankly strange level. Meet Eau de Pizza Hut, a scene / perfume created by Pizza […]

The Carnival cruise from hell finally came to an end. Passengers were able to leave the Carnival Triumph on Thursday night, able to return home after what was reportedly a nightmarish experience on a powerless cruise ship. The entire situation is a PR nightmare. There's absolutely no positive way to spin a situation where your company […]
