An older sweaty man and a younger sweaty man, both almost naked, do something in the ocean together.  The younger man has something in his mouth.  The older man pulls something big out of his speedo. They both end up getting crabs. The ad ends with money being exchanged.

This is completely SFW.

If chocolate is sexy, then ganache must be its lewd, lascivious cousin. By Mother, London.

This is for the ladies… Slick-bodied gents croon and melt female hearts to the tune of Up Where We Belong.

Fleggaard, a German store, has gotten in trouble by women’s rights groups for their controversial ads featuring naked women (sorry boys, I’m not even going to link it). This shifts the balance of power back to the ladies, right?

Maybe. It’s an ad for laundry detergent. From ettf.

Some mysteries are never meant to be solved. Unless you’re the type that welcomes destructive Ostrich-riding businessmen into your home.

Watch these fun ads for Coke Zero, which advertise the website my buddy Dustin created at the huge agency behemoth that is CP+B.

You see, in this industry, we support our friends. Dustin, this means that the next time our puny little agency creates a five-second black and white spot for our local public access channel, we expect some reciprocal blog love.

Leo Laporte from TWiT interviews Wieden + Kennedy geniuses Craig Allen and Eric Kallman about everyone’s favorite Old Spice ad. Don’t have 20 minutes to spare? Here’s the gist:

- This ad is done with set trickery. The bathroom is lifted by a 50 ft. crane off of a half-boat set. He then sits on a contraption that slides him over a horse. CGI only comes into play when they’re splicing in a fake hand that spits diamonds and when they’re painting out part of the contraption in the final shot.

- The shoot was done on the 57th take on the 3rd day.

- Isaiah Mustafa is the actor. He’s a true man’s man… strong arms, deep voice, and a former professional football player for the Seattle Seahawks.

From the W+K blog.

An ad that ties the remarkable true story of Roy Sullivan, a man who was struck by lightning seven times and someone with every right to hate nature, into an ad about being environmentally-friendly. I see what you did there.
