Heineken Light - The Snake Skin Jacket - (2011) :30
It does not suit every occasion, but sometimes the snakeskin jacket is just the thing. Like when you're gonna stop the band to explain that "this here is a snakeskin jacket, and for me it's a symbol of my individuality" and prove your love to your girl.
Axe / Lynx - Beach Shower - (2011) :60 (UK)
Man takes shower on the beach, turns out he puppeteers all the women around with his moves. And in the end, they won't do as Simon Says. Unilever has their logo in the upper right here which is new, so with Axe/Lynx women are puppets and with Dove we're beautiful the way we are. Gotcha, Unilever.
Wikileaks - Mastercard / Banking Blockade commercial - (2011)
It's been six months since five major US financial institutions, VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, Western Union and the Bank of America, have stunted Wikileaks by freezing accounts and prevented donations from being made via them. This ad shows Julian Assange in house-arrest at Vaughan Smith's country manor, while spoofing the long-running "Mastercard Priceless" campaign. It's up on youtube today, but with their trackrecord for yanking parody ads that touch on trademarks (see Greenpeace VW) it might be down by tomorrow.
Censorship, like everything else in the West, has been privatized.
Greenpeace - VW Dark Side - removed from youtube now everywhere else (2011) :60
The other day Greenpeace came out with this spoof of the Volkswagen "the force / little Darth Vader" superbowl ad, and as usual youtube a.k.a temporary storage for films, has removed the spot(s). (they've been done with the super in all european languages). Nothing can stop the forces of good however, and VW darkside has simply replaced their youtube embeds with Vimeo embeds (hang on, doesn't that break Vimeos TOS? It's advertising....)
Update Turns out the video was suspended due to a copyright infringement notice from Lucas Films, the maker of Star Wars, which just makes me want to slap my forehead, so here I go. *slap* Ow!
Sony 3D - Wimbledon Balls - (2011) (UK)
Oh no they didn't. Oh yes they did! Sony has made a homage to their own balls (heh). What were they thinking? Apparently, this:
"This is a great creative idea that not only cleverly maximises nostalgia around a previous Sony campaign, but explodes the idea digitally without having to support it with TV. We’re really excited about the launch."
Launch of what? Those dorky glasses? Oh. 3D products. Gotcha.
Nivea - 100 Years of Creme - (2011) :30 (UK)
Award-winning Cut + Run editor Dan Robinson recently collaborated with director Alistair Taylor-Young (ASD Lionheart) on a spot celebrating the 100th anniversary of Nivea for Draft FCB. This delightful commercial promotes the multi-generational relationship to Nivea with freshness, warmth and simple beauty.
Cadbury - Dancing Clothes / Charity shoppe / Whoomp there it is version - (2011)
Granta Magazine - Aftermath - 2011 - UK
Animation advertising Granta 115 'The Feminism Issue'
Nokia N8 Pink - Freedom / Sugarbabes - (2011)
Pink Nokia N8 debuts with a music video for the Sugababes new track Freedom, starring a very talented dancing doll. It's a strange pink universe where Dynamite Girls® dolls meet Lady Gaga styling, and Salvador Dali's long-legged creatures. The dolls even had choregraphers and their own hairstylists!
Lipton - You are what you tea - (2011)
Ever wonder what a superhero would look like if their powers allowed them to transform into a bottle of iced tea? Neither did we, but Absolute makes us wish we had in their latest spot for the launch of 100% Natural Lipton Iced Tea, a product of the Pepsi Lipton Partneship. In collaboration with DDB London and recurring partner Sonny London Productions Director Emil Moller (e-on, TFL, Bee TV), Absolute transforms a street-walking city girl into a living embodiment of Lipton tea's three ingredients: water, tea leaves and sunshine.
Cadbury - Dancing Clothes / Charity shoppe / Bollywood version - (2011)
There's a new version of Cadbury 'Charity Shop' with music from the Bollywood movie Namak Hallal which has been interspersed with the Jermaine Stewart track, perhaps the millions of fans of Bollywood will give this version the viral boost the other Cadbury - Dancing Clothes / Charity shoppe didn't get.
T-mobile / Deutsche Telekom makes real world Angry Birds in Barcelona Wed May 11. Be there!
Want to play Angry Birds for real? Tomorrow in Barcelona at the Placa Nova Terrassa, you can: Deutsche Telekom is erecting a life size Angry Birds game tomorrow at noon in Barcelona. If you're in the hood, you can swipe your smartphones to hurl a real giant catapult and its weapons of bubble-shaped birds at exploding green pigs.
*click click click* What? I'm booking a last minute flight to Barcelona.
Lucozade Sport Lite - Faster, Louder, Stronger, Better - (2011) :90 (UK)
This is sure to make the UK kids wish they lived in L.A. near a beach instead of rainy old London (or wherever), I'm sure. The roller-skating and skateboard-tricking beauties in the video make you want to join in. Maybe if I drink enough Lucozade I won't fear breaking my bones doing what they're doing.
Cadbury - Dancing Clothes / Charity shoppe - (2011) :90 (UK)
Glass and a Half Full Productions presents: the Charity Shop. You might spend 90 seconds thinking "little people?", "robotics?" but no, it's big clothes. Real big. And two people in each outfit. Not a bad gig for a dancer.
Jammie , Toffee & choccie Dodgers monkeys - competition (UK)

Jammie and Toffee Dodgers monkeys - long (UK)
The monkeeeys. They are hypnotic. Jammie. Jammie. Jammie. TOFFEEEEEEE!
Jammie and Toffee Dodgers monkeys - short (UK)
Jammie. Jammie Jammie Jammie. TOFFEEE!
Lipton Ice Tea - Hugh Jackman / Join The Dance - (2011) :60 (USA)
Hugh Jackman struts his stuff doing a "safety dance" conga of some sort, he even entices his chair to join in. Rest assured, Hugh who likes doing his own stunts was shaking his own booty for this, just like he did in Lipton Tokyo Hotel. The VO at the end and the sound in general leaves something to be desired here.
btw, here's the "Safety Dance" rocketnerd remix, just because I can.
House of Castello - Relaxing - (2011) :30
Danish cheese is sold with decadent parties, old-school style. I did not know that cheese-breath was sexy. Soundtrack & music score by Jesper Gadeberg and MassiveMusic.
Zokoko - Senses - (2011)
Dear advertisers. Chocolate does not equal sex. Love, me.
Besides, this feels like you've just updated Magnum "Senses" from six years ago. Ba-da-bing, Badlanded, Chocolate covered ice-cream is not sex either, by the way. God, y'all really need to get out more.
