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.
Rube Goldberg is channeled in this incredible video from a band getting more attention for their videos than their music. Kind of like R.Kelly, who went from “the guy who did I Believe I Can Fly” to “the guy who peed on an underage girl.”
How did this video get made (the OK Go one, not the R. Kelly one)? Four total months, 60 people, and 60 takes over two days. Wired.com has the scoop.
BONUS: The other OK Go video for the same song. Also great, but not quite on the same level.
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.
It hasn’t taken long, but the net is now flooded with parodies of the Google ‘Parisian Love’ Super Bowl spot - my pick for best overall. Most of them are crap or follow the same idea (many follow the the “unplanned baby” route). But this one is the best - because if we’ve ever learned anything about life, it’s that drugs and hookers are fun. Sent from Dustin.
Old Spice does it again with their latest round of ads. Why smell like sunflowers and babypowder, when you can smell like jetfighters and punching? From Carley.
I wanted to resist posting this but it’s simply too damn cute to ignore.
BEHOLD… SMILE DOG!
Excellent creative work from the aptly named agency Rethink, Canada (the “rethink” part, not the Canada part… though I have nothing against Canadians. I love Barenaked Ladies, and the band is alright too).
Rhett & Link continue their reign of so-bad-they’re-good commercial-making. In case you don’t remember, the comedy duo are scouring the country for small businesses that need to spread the word. It works out for everyone: Small businesses get free exposure, Rhett & Link further their careers, and sponsor Microbilt pays for the whole thing. Ain’t life grand?

This is fun! A disembodied wiener roams the bathroom looking for some, err, companionship. But the floating vajayjay’s will have none of it. It doesn’t make sense, but it doesn’t have to because it’s Russian and it’s a PSA. NSFW (which is ironic, since as I write this, I’m at work).
Do you remember the intro video for the UAF hockey team? The incredibly cheesy (albeit, incredibly awesome) video depicted a world-killing, bloodthirsty polar bear who loves hockey and jamming to hard rock. Well ladies and gents, that bear is back and his bloodthirst has yet to be quenched. If you don’t remember the old video, I’ll humor your immense levels of lamosity by reposting it below. Scoop from Tyler Vasa.
