Boost Mobile - How to shop for groceries d. Zombie apocalypse - (2013) 3:30 (Australia)

Jen & Saffron go shopping. Or rather, one dances the other rollerskates around in ass-hugging leather shorts and smashes heads in with a cricket bat. Then the ladies have a bit of a snog because after all the gratuitus ass-shots and brain splattering zombie-kills in slow-mo, we need a little lesbian action to file all of this in bank. Leather-shorts gal is bad-ass (with a nice ass) while white-shirt girl is happy hippie dancer. Aaah, to be young again.

Oh right, from this you're supposed to grok: Don't get trapped. Don't be locked in. Stay Living.

"Get petrol for the generator", and that's how this crash course in how to get gas during the zombie apocalypse begins. Step one, record a crying baby on a boombox. Step two, fit out your bike with chainsaws on the side. Step three, grow massive balls. Oh, wait, everyone who survives the zombie apocalypse already has that, clearly.

Just like the first Boost Mobile - Stay Living / Zombie apocalypse, this ends with the cry for freedom. Don't get trapped. Don't be locked in. Stay Living.

Boost Mobile - Stay Living / Zombie apocalypse - (2013) (Australia)

It's like an epic Zombie apocalypse movie trailer. Hey, have you noticed that zombies have taken over the role mimes used to have in Adland? All hail Romero, I wonder how perplexed he feels about zombies used to sell stuff. Speaking of selling, after you've been thoroughly entertained by the zombie-splatter in this ad you might wonder what it is selling. Cell-phone service. You see, when the zombie apocalypse happens, Boost Mobile is still going to be around. They're manning the antennas & HQ with robots I presume.

Or as they say:
Don't get trapped. Don't be locked in. Stay Living

Well OK then. Still, everyone who wishes this was areal teaser for a future TV series raise their cellphones. Yep yep.

So Xbox One was unveiled with a big fanfar ... But not everyone is impressed. Here's a PS4th degree burn, or a kick in the Xbox one ball if you will. It's rather epic, I must say.

Brandon Dentertainment - One Show (2013) :60 (USA)

One Club has created this guy, Brandon Dentertainment, to host this years One Show with his Miami Vice outfits and cheesy eighties effects. Yep a FunnyorDie character will host the 5th Annual One Show Entertainment this year, which makes sense if you think about it. FunnyorDie are the production house / Old Milwakee 'these aren't really ads Will Ferrell just loves the beer', entertainment agency of the future as predicted. Who else should we turn to to host the show with an emphasis on that elusive agency holy grail, branded entertainment? Exactly!

Nike - Hypervenom - (2013) :45 (USA)

"Join a new breed of attack" is the motto that Blacklist had to go into over-production to convey in cgi-sneaker alone. The shoe is a scorpion, a snakebite, a panther - I don't even know anymore but now I'm really scared to hit the locker room if that stuff is in there to kill me. I'll just stay on the couch here eating bob-bons. Yep. That's what I'll do.

nochildforsale / worldvision - no Child for Sale, Thasanee Home shopping sale - (2013) :30 (CANADA)

No Child Should Ever Be For Sale is the motto of this home shopping network spoof ad where Thasanee is a detail oriented 10 year old who could fit right in at any given sweatshop, so if you're fresh out of workers because the building collapsed why not buy some new ones.

*shudder*

Yeah, reality sucks. Your actions can help make it less sucky though.

nochildforsale / worldvision - no Child for Sale, Keweshi Home shopping sale - (2013) :30 (CANADA)

Oh nu-uh they din't! Oh yu-uh they gone 'n did! - a spoof of those TV-shop / Home shopping network shows the perfectly coiffed hosts talk about the ever versatile, hard working and adaptable 9 year old child named Keweshi who can work all day for you. What??

Ah, I see, it's http://worldvision.ca who are fighting child slavery by updating what a slavery auction must have looked like, fitting it into our home-shopping TV staring style of modern times. Because you know what? Slavery might not be legal these days, but every year 1.2 million children are sold into slavery.

Apple "Intention" (2013) 1:32 (USA)

Unlike its other new spot which features humanity, i.e. real people, this new Apple spot features a moving manifesto, proving the more things change the more some people refuse to stop writing manifestos.

Apple "Our Signature" (2013) 1:00 (USA)

The ghost of Steve Jobs is all over this one, espousing the same philosophy that captured the cult all those years ago. but since the cult has moved on to android and Samsung phones are outselling iPhones in a big way, Apple needs to be relevant and not sound dated. So they balanced out their philosophy of their turtlenecked guru with some sort of new relevancy: Designed by Apple in California.

I sure hope that isn't merely a tricky way of saying "We thought of it here, even though we still outsource the actual production to China."
