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.

You’ve seen Logorama, last night’s winner of the Oscar in this category… now here are the rest of the Oscar nominees for Animated Short Film (w/the exception of  Wallace and Gromit). Engaging and fun and all under 8 minutes, they’re worth it for the animation alone. Stolen from idsgn.

The Lady and the Reaper

Sleeping Beauty

French Roast

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.

Genius from Comedy Central promoting their Demetri Martin and Sarah Silverman shows. Has there ever been a better line in a commercial than “I wonder if I could poop in your butt”?

An inventive ad of the “wish I thought of that” variety. Love.

Watch it.

A man farts around with female menstrual products. If this sounds familiar, you’re probably a very interesting man.

Clemenger, BBDO.

This ads got crazy sports fans, living the dream, lots of running, food, beard-growing, and weight-loss. Tell me that isn’t a recipe for fun. Saatchi and Saatchi, London.

Viral video vets Rhett and Link (perpetrators of hilarious local commercials like Central Florida Zoo) are back, this time joining the stop-motion fray with ‘T-Shirt War’. Yes, stop-motion has been done to death and even t-shirt stop-motion is nothing new (remember the Erbert and Gerbert Human Flipbook spot?). But here, Rhett & Link apply their typical clever comedic leanings and do the whole genre a great justice.

Sex sells. Using babies comes next. But if you’re talking about hitting a homerun in advertising, cute and clumsy old people have to be in the top 5. Great stuff from Jung von Matt/Alster, Germany. Via Ads of the World.
