BBDO’s campaign for HBO has re-enacted key scenes of HBO flagship programs such as True Blood to hilarious effect. This one (which I somehow missed over the holidays) features Eastbound and Down, and it’s the best because of how gleefully demented it is. The cut to the graduation photo as the two parents suck face is absolutely priceless.

Inspired? Make your own re-enactment.

Energizer introduces a series of entertaining animated vignettes highlighting their “ability to last longer.” Why the quotations? The videos cite nice figures, such as “lasts 65% longer”, or “20 hours longer”. But the videos aren’t comparing Energizer batteries to the competition (as you would assume), but to Energizer’s own line of batteries. The beauty of fine print, ladies and gentleman! Oh well. Fun stuff that is probably TBWA’s first campaign for Energizer since they won the global biz.

I think the thumbnail explains it all.

A viral created for Wildfire Beer that once again confirms for all of us that slow-motion and near-naked fat people are awesome.

Nettbuss creates an artsy, almost poetic ad for Norway’s Nettbuss that is as engaging as it is confusing. I mean, this is a bus ad right? You’ll ask the same question, but there’s no doubt this ad resonates. Warning: About .5 seconds worth of exposed breast may be seen.

Great stuff by Los & Co. Via Creativity Online.

I don’t typically post showreels on this blog. But when you have a one the best in the biz putting together an incredible reel, you do it. The Mill is a fantastic production and special effects company behind some of this blog’s favorite ads, including Das Handwerk’s Craft, Adidas’ Star Wars Cantina, DirecTV’s Opulence, and yes, even Nike’s Write the Future and Old Spice’s The Man Your Man Could Smell Like.

Much love.
