Awesome Commercials

The North Wind and the Sun

The North Wind and the Sun

This cheeky Japanese commercial for Kirin Beer features a modern retelling of Aesop’s fable, The North Wind and the Sun, in which two of nature’s greatest forces compete to make a traveler remove his cloak. Only this time, the traveler is two scantily clad women in bikinis.

Quidditch Skydiving

Quidditch Skydiving

This is probably the closest us muggles will get to playing Quidditch in real life. In this commercial for Colombian telecoms company ETB, a group of skydivers played Hogwart’s dangerous game en route to the ground, complete with brooms and a hoop.

The Talk 2.0

The Talk 2.0

(PG-13: Language) “…your body is going through a lot of changes.” A father and son have the dreaded talk, but it’s not the one that you think. This time the tables have turned. A funny yet effective advisory from Prostate Cancer UK.

Literal Cameraman

Literal Cameraman

To promote the Sony RX100 Mk. IV, Thai ad agency Salmon House made this silly commercial that visualizes cameras as people. We’d actually rather have the DSLR though. The dude can take pictures and kick ass.

The Nice Guys: Couples Therapy

The Nice Guys: Couples Therapy

(PG-13: Language) The Nice Guys’ Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling star in this meta-viral video for their film where they consult a shrink (Big Bang Theory‘s Melissa Rauch) to settle their issues. Longer versions here and here.

Hornet worked with Leo Burnett London to create this stop-motion commercial for Mc Donald’s UK. The studio spent 3 months building six sets and hundreds of 3D-printed and hand-painted figurines for the 60-second spot. Be sure to watch how they made it here.

Ford x Metal Gear Solid

Ford x Metal Gear Solid

“A Ford?” Solid Snake? More like Sellout Snake. Voice actors David Hayter, Paul Eiding and Doug Stone reprised their roles as Snake, Col. Campbell and Psycho Mantis in a pair of commercials for Ford vehicles. The Captain Planet ad is also funny.

Clarkson, Hammond & May’s Show Title

Clarkson, Hammond & May’s Show Title

“You know what I thought of in bed the other day…” “Is it called, “God that’s small”?” Amazon UK teases its upcoming car show by showing off its prized hosts’ chemistry and trademark corniness. We’re partial to this suggestion. Or Comedians in Cars Getting Hot Tea.

Eagle Steve

Eagle Steve

“Bugs for breakfast, mice for lunch! Save your hiney in a crunch!” U.S. Pest Protection advertises its services with the help of Eagle Steve. If they don’t show up with an actual eagle, or at least a stuffed one, we hope someone asks them for a refund.

HeavyBubbles

HeavyBubbles

Strongman and Game of Thrones’ The Mountain Thor Björnsson reveals his secret to a titanic body. With HeavyBubbles sparkling water, he can implement the ABCs ABLs of bodybuilding: Always Be Lifting. A funny viral ad for SodaStream.

McDonald’s: Future Me

This animated commercial for McDonald’s Japan is about a branch manager watching over one of her new crew members. Welp, guess it’s time for our annual viewing of The Devil is a Part-timer!

Michael Phelps: Rule Yourself

Michael Phelps: Rule Yourself

Under Armour and the most decorated Olympian of all time remind us that the best of us don’t only perform “when it matters.” They’re clutch even when there’s no buzzer to beat. The song is The Kills’ The Last Goodbye.

Samsung Galaxy S7: Champagne Calls

Samsung Galaxy S7: Champagne Calls

Samsung’s ad agency got Lil Wayne to stay sober long enough to film this commercial. Now Weezy’s not saying the Galaxy S7 is better than other phones in any way, form or fashion, but as far as this waterproof thing goes he thinks it’s better than all other phones.

Debit Girl

Debit Girl

She might look like a darling little 11 year-old girl, but Lisa-X is a serious rocker. Watch as she gets the whole room going by shredding a speed metal rendition of Schubert’s Lullaby on her electric guitar in this commercial for JNB Visa Debit cards.

Android: Fingerprints

Android: Fingerprints

Animator PES‘ commercial for Google’s Android OS is a move away from his trademark stop-motion, but is still packed which charm, wit, and humor, as characters from all walks of life are replaced with finger puppets.

Sky Q Fluid Viewing Ad

An awesome CGI animation from Brothers and Sisters in which a moving image from The Avengers is turned to liquid, then moves across the house to another TV to sell the concept of Sky Q’s Fluid Viewing service, which lets viewers resume paused shows on another TV.

Tesla Model S Autopilot

Tesla Model S Autopilot

Tesla Motors’ latest ad is a real-world demonstration of the Model S’ optional Autopilot technology. When you’re on the highway you can activate cruise control, automatic steering and automatic lane changing. The car can also park on its own.

LEGO Paper Plane Machine

LEGO Paper Plane Machine

LEGO machine building expert Arthur Sacek was approached by Arrow Electronics to design and build a LEGO contraption that could take a sheet of paper and turn it into an airplane. The result was not only a cool machine, but a great commercial. Behind the scenes video here.

Snickers: Marilyn

Snickers: Marilyn

Apparently, the secret to Marilyn Monroe’s beauty wasn’t her genes or her makeup. It was her food. Snickers gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the shooting of her infamous subway grate scene from The Seven Year Itch.

Audi R8: Commander

Audi R8: Commander

The extended version of Audi’s big Super Bowl 50 spot is a tribute to the space program, David Bowie, our elders, and awesome sports cars all in one, as a retired astronaut is lost until he gets a chance to drive Audi’s 205mph R8 supercar. Wouldn’t we all like that chance?

Atom Text Editor Commercial

Atom Text Editor Commercial

A hilarious and well executed retro-kitch promo clip for GitHub’s hackable and robust JavaScript-based text editor, Atom. Memo to Jonny Ive – we want the next iMac to look like that Atom computer.

Qantas Safety Video

Qantas Safety Video

Qantas’ new safety video takes passengers on a breathtaking tour of Australia while discussing the usual pre-flight instructions and warnings. We’ve never heard “deep vein thrombosis” said so invitingly.

Dear Kitten: Beginnings

Dear Kitten: Beginnings

“I looked up to him, quite literally. He was massive, and always on the places of up.” ZeFrank’s latest Friskies ad is about a cat dispensing advice to his human’s new kitten, based on the things that he learned from his elder. RIP Maximillian.
