This weird commercial probably is from a time when Arnold Schwarzenegger still needed the money. Awkward stuff!

The Dog Strikes Back: 2012 Volkswagen Game Day Commercial

Toni — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:02:20 +0000

It’s amazing how a 2012 Volkswagen Beetle can motivate the dog to get in shape. Witness the dog’s weight loss transformation from following a strict diet, swimming, lifting weights, and even using an exercise ball. Watch out for an intergalactic superstar that makes a surprise appearance at the end of the video.

Fresh Impressions on Brandmarks Through the Eyes of a Child

Here’s a video rundown of various logos along with an interpretation of a 5-year old. Funny how she thought one logo looks like “little squirms” or worms and tries to associate several logos to colourful balls, marble, baby toys, and “babies are little.”

Dreamjob Commercial: The Best Job In The World

Hilarious commercial for Brasilian job portal dreamjob: “We don’t have a labor association…we don’t have free weekends…12, 14 hours standing…one day I’ll quit this nightmare”

We Just Got Samsunged: Samsung Makes Fun Of Apple Customers, Again

Nader — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:24:14 +0000

The fight between Samsung and Apple does not only happen in court but also in commercials. After Samsung had acquired an actress from the iPhone advertisements they are now making fun of Apple customers (again).

In the new commercial you see people camping in front of a store that is still closed. The names Apple and iPhone are not mentioned but they don’t have to be, since this becomes clear when watching the video. A person in line makes fun of an unboxing-video that transports the opinion the new smart phone (iPhone 4S) looks exactly like the precedent.

While this video is surely funny I am not sure if it is good for Samsung to make fun of Apple’s customers directly. At the end of the day they want to sell them lots of their devices. The views count of YouTube says it is pretty successful though: over 350,000 and counting…

Red Bull Is Insane Or This Guy Is At Least: Jumps Onto Arc De Triomphe With His Motorcycle

Nader — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:49:37 +0000

Red Bull paid this Australian guy $2,000,000 to jump onto an Arc de Triomphe replica in Las Vegas…with his motocross bike! I never have seen something like this and it’s so extreme it nearly looks like a fake.

Old Spice Ad: Mind Blown

Nader — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 12:04:30 +0000

I liked the initial old spice ad “I’m on a horse” more, nowadays they seem to get a bit too exaggerated.

Old Spice is continuing its experimentation with new approaches and rotating spokesmen with a new campaign breaking on YouTube and Facebook that features Terry Crews’s exploding head.

Fotoshop by Adobé. Brilliant!

Following up on the older Dove advertisement from a couple of years ago here is an even greater, unreal and brilliant example of society’s standards of beauty. The commercial, created by filmmaker Jesse Rosten, cleverly satirizes the beauty and fashion industry and since it’s so professionally made it could even run on tv and probably a lot of people not into graphics would believe it.

In this clip we get a new client and Andrew Robinson doles out some fabulously poor branding advice, which the client would do well to ignore.
