OK, so Mike Myers‘ The Love Guru was nearly universally panned by every critic in the business. It bombed this weekend at the box office, bringing in only $13.9 million. The only semi-positive review I could find came from Peter Rainer at the Christian Science Monitor (how ironic). My favorite negative review came from Harry […]
I saw this short promotional video for Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder during the MTV Movie awards, which I did not watch and was terrible at the same time. This video, however, is fucking hilarious. This is the kind of marketing people pay attention to. Please watch.

This could well be the best ad for a TV channel ever made. Discovery Channel sings how much it loves the world. So good.
I’m feeling kind of the same way about the world right now. Having a great friggin time. Finally went diving for the first real time and I am hooked already - and […]
Apple’s latest TV ad pays homage to the old Rankin/Bass stop motion Christmas Specials we all hold so dear.

Sony’s latest Bravia TV ad, you know, from the Color Like No Other campaign, is stunning, as always. (Nothing will ever be quite as good as the Balls ad here, and here on YouTube.) In this one, hundreds of colorful claymation bunnies hop around Manhattan. Is this another contender for ad of the year? The […]
McDonald’s is in the middle of launching a Starbucks-like coffee shop called McCafe around the world. I don’t know if it will be popular or not but I do know that it will be about a year and a half before every other corner in NY is one of these fucking things. Here’s a photo […]
Whoa. Another brilliant ad. Here’s Philips with a stunningly sexy ad for an electric shaver. Not since Bjork’s ‘All Is Full of Love‘ video (directed by Chris Cunningham) have I been so turned on by a robot.

I won’t spoil this one by naming it too descriptively. This is a brilliant ad for a company I’ve never heard of. Watch it now.

Cadbury just kicked off a new ad campaign with a huge, soon to be award winning, bang. Cadbury Dairy Milk - Gorilla is a work of advertising genius.
Creative Review blog explains that this is from the ad agency Fallon, but more importantly is written and directed by Juan Cabral, the guy who was the creative […]
Here’s a pretty great animated advertisement for Microsoft’s Zune (that’s a music player thing) called “Dogfight”. It was done by a company called FullTank. (Here’s interview with them about the Zune Arts Films.)
I wish it was an ad for a new game on XBox because I would buy it tomorrow. Nice work.

Swear Jar. Best beer commercial of all time? I think so.
F*cking awesome.

The London Olympic committee, or whatever the hell it is called, just released the new logo and branding for the 2012 Olympics in London, including a video “brand animation”. I have seen extraordinarily mixed reactions to this including love, hate, indifference, and confusion. I will not be shy about saying that I absolutely hate it.
Love […]
