Awesome Commercials

An arrogant husband keeps on boasting to his wife that his tablet and apps can take the place of almost anything that she can do on paper. But don’t worry ladies, she gets the last laugh.

The guy behind Symphony of Science tunes-up a special St. Patty’s breakfast mix, complete with yellow moons, orange stars and green clovers. They’re always after me Lucky Charms.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. But what if your buddy wants you to rescue him from what seems to be a daily crime scene? Carlsberg salutes the brave folks who called their bluff in this viral ad.

Old Spice has a new Chief Director of Marketing, Mr. Wolfdog. He stamps documents. He’s tech savvy. He connects with customers. He conducts interviews. He probably ate Isaiah Mustafa.

We wish it were a tad more “authentic,” but it’s still enjoyable to watch Jeff Gordon get all bearded up and kick ass behind the wheel of a used Camaro, terrified car saleman in tow. (Thanks everyone!)

This commercial for Abbott’s Village Bakery will leave PETA confounded. Now we’re not sure whether we love bread more or less. Or at all. We have to sit down and think really hard about it.

Two drastically different lives. One is obviously better than the other. The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada challenges us to make the easy choice. A simple and sobering reminder.

A suave Shetland pony dances to Fleetwood Mac’s Everywhere in this ad for UK telecom company Three. It is not in our place to question such genius. Make your own fly pony here. (Thanks Eddie!)

Freediver Ocean Ramsey hung out with a great white shark for GoPro. The video was shot entirely with an HD Hero2. Learn more about sharks and buy photos of the encounter on Water Inspired.

2D animation studio Powerhouse Creative promotes their “pure, organic, Z-axis free” specialty with a tongue-in-cheek commercial portraying 3D graphics as the enemy. Way to spin the flat scene.

(NSFW: Language) Lizzy Caplan stars in a fashion commercial that parodies fashion commercials and their inane attempts at evoking character and authenticity. Directed by Matthew Frost.

2012 viral hit Sweet Brown has parlayed her Internet fame into a bit of real world success. Watch her advertise a dental clinic in Tulsa, Oklahoma using her catchphrase and infectious laughter.

An evil clown and a chainsaw-wielding killer drown in a sea of despair. Sounds like some freaky horror movie stuff no? Wait till the end of this commercial by Andreas Roth to find out its unexpected subject.

This trippy video is an ad for sleep medicine Intermezzo. It sounds like a parody of a drug commercial, except it’s actually a drug commercial. And people say weed is bad for you.

TNT’s “Add Drama” button is back. This time it was installed in a shopping street in the Netherlands, turning a quiet afternoon into an exciting (and confusing) day for a handful of Dutch teens.

Despite the fact that this little jingle is in Portuguese, it won’t stop anyone from enjoying a catchy tune and some goofy singing teeth in this playful ad for Oral-B Brazil. (Thanks Robson!)

Our pick among the five finalists for this year’s crowdsourced Doritos Crash the Super Bowl ad contest. We still think last year’s unofficial winner is better, but this one’s pretty close.

An elderly couple is trying to shoot a commercial for Dysart’s Truck Stop & Restaurant. Trying being the operative word, because old man Dan just can’t seem to say the catchphrase cleanly.

Meet the most interesting man in Korea. He doesn’t always prepare noodles, but when he does, he uses eggs he seduced straight out of a hen. The song is I’m Your Man by Leonard Cohen.

BETC Paris – the ad agency that made The Bear – perfectly captures the ecstatic feeling of sports fans using one of the classic victory poses of pro footballers in this commercial for Canal+.

It’s a shame Norway pulled this great ad by Storm Studios for the sporting goods store XXL. It features humans taking a stand against the undead armed with nothing more than their sports equipment.
