Advertising For The Win

Ugh! Thank god I didn’t have to read all this.

Wait, you mean you own a safety equipment company and you’ve never shown people going through glass or getting blown up while wearing it in beautiful slow-motion before? No wonder your shitty business is failing.

Yep, that’s my president catching a perfect spiral from Drew Brees and then lateraling it to a little girl while avoiding the tackle from Troy Polamalu.

Just the coolest.

Just goes to show that sometimes all you need is a catchy tune, a clever visual style, a brilliant animator, and abandoned house you can clean up, and you’ve got a brilliant spot.

Everyone hates tweens. Everyone that is except for advertisers that just fall all over themselves to advertise to tweens because it’s their one chance to get super crazy, put something nuts in front of the Foot By The Foot client and say “you wouldn’t understand it, it’s what kids are into now”

Everyone has really worked themselves up about these two spec Sprite ads from Germany. And they’re right to be hot and bothered. Really Germany? It’s not hard to pull off “when you open a bottle of Sprite it sprays everywhere” and come to “just like dicks do!”

I guess we should go softer on a production company called Silly Dog Films, but come on. If you’re going for a controversial commerical it’s not how big your shock is (see “Eye Test”), but about how hard and how thick the wit is.

I guess what I’m saying is that if you’re going to make a cum joke at least have some balls about it.

The army, killin’ some ambient marketing back with WW2

How great are these? Curse my perfect vision!

When your target is primarily women, it can often be hard to get their attention in such a over saturated market. Well Slim Fast is happy to solve your problem. Simply take two donuts and make your product look like a dick. Problem solved. The ads practically make themselves.

(originally seen on Talking Points Memo, but it’s a banner ad so chances of finding it again are pretty slim. SLIM! Ha! See what I did there?)

Kobe and Lebron live together. And they’re puppets. And they like to heckle each other. Wait, why do they live together again?

See the second spot, “Chalk”
