For their latest #BuiltForIt trial, the guys from Caterpillar arranged to turn several of their huge industrial machines into a golf course on wheels, then turned loose two LPGA professionals to try and hit the green. BTS footage here.

Stop-motion master PES grills some mussels that he picked up from Muscle Beach. They’re really meaty, but we’re not sure if we’d want to eat them. A funny commercial for Lipton iced tea. What was the tea made of?!

An insanely smart stray dog repays a stranger’s act of kindness tenfold in this silly commercial for Thai bank Kiatnakin. He did so well we’re going to give him a pass for showing his junk. BRB, feeding stray dogs.

Pizza Hut warns us of the effects of selfie stick abuse. Narcissists who used to be distracted only by their own faces, meals and outfits are being overwhelmed by the realization that they can take wider shots.

An old man trained his dog to stay outside establishments until he comes back out. DDB goes hard for the feels in this commercial for an Argentinian liver transplant foundation.

The rollerblading kids from Sunny Delight’s bland ’90s commercial are all grown up. Or not. Kudos for the self-parody Sunny D, but you should’ve paid homage to Dave Chappelle’s juice vs. drink joke. We want that purple stuff!
