Treadmill

It was only a matter of time before someone made an ad involving someone hurting themselves on a running machine. Running machines are the devils invention made for people who are scared of the rain, who like their vegetables packaged and labeled and want to live in a germ-free environment, are paranoid about public toilets [...]

Toyota ad

A French Ad for Toyota, whose Unique Selling Point seems to be that if you buy one you won’t end up on one of those caught on camera shows.
Talking of cars, and by extension, the environment, lots of big important men with big important jobs are meeting in the The Hague at the moment at [...]

Tortuga

Beer ads are generally some of the best ads around – apart from lingerie ads and laundary powder ads. That’s probably because drinking beer provides inspiration in spades. If you don’t believe me, try drinking a lot of beer with your friends. You’ll find you come up with lots of very funny ideas. Now try [...]

Toilet

Mobile phones are fucking great. They have revolutionized the lives of the crap and poorly organised who never knew what they were doing more than three minutes in advance. One the other hand they have brought the inane conversations of the masses that we’d prefer not to hear out into the open.

Tidy up

An excellent ad for Ikea, who seem to specialise in slightly pervy ads with only the most tenuous link to dodgy flatpack furniture which can never be assembled according to the instructions but which requires a PhD in Astroportugese in order to figure out how it’s actually supposed to fit together; but actually constructing it [...]

Tide

Thumbs, they say, are what separates us from the animals. As The Onion once sagaciously pointed out, the moment the dolphins evolve opposable thumbs, we’re all fucked. Thumbs are what allow us to develop weapons, drive cars, operate the TV remote control, and wank with only one hand as opposed to stupid backward rabbits who [...]

Terry Tate

Not many people in the UK have a clue who Terry Tate is, and fewer give a shit. But that doesn’t stop this being a very funny clip. Just assume that the guy plays some rather inferior form of rugby and is as hard as fucking nails.

Ta Gueule

“Ta Gueule” is French for “Shut the fuck up”. “Ta meuf te casse les couilles?” is French for “Is your chick busting your balls?” That’s all you really need to know. A funny, unusual ad for a band of dubious nomenclature.

T & A Beer

Although this is a very funny and very clever spoof ad, it contains a core of truth. Drinking beer DOES get you laid. The drunker and more ludicrous and sloppy and messy you get, the higher the chances that at the end of the night you’ll end up in a sausage and donut situation. The [...]

Tabasco ad

All newspapers are black and white, and all penguins are black and white, therefore all penguins are newspapers. Logical.
God loves Tabasco, and I love Tabasco, therefore I am GOD. Logical. Ahahahaha haaaa.
A great ad for the greatest of all sauces.

Surprise

Giving anything away about this ad will ruin the effect, and here in the UK it hasn’t aired yet. Suffice to say it’s part of a series which was getting a tad tired, but this brings a breath of fresh air. The self referential angle is clever and it’s well executed. Impressive.
Of course, that’s not [...]

Supertimor

A classic 70’s tack yet strangely funky ad for, of all things, anti mosquito spray. Enjoy. Back tomorrow.

Supergreg

Supergreg is the current super number one DJ in da haus fur das schoen teknoparti. He has the flava yah? Supergreg is either the new Ali G (genius who turns out to be an idiot) or the new “I kiss you” Mahir (idiot who turns out to be a genius). Or maybe he’s the new [...]

Sun Fizz

As you get older, your ears get hairier and longer. Why? Isn’t it bad enough that you can’t move properly, and are forced to constantly dribble wee everywhere, without being humiliated by your own ears? This ad is pretty funny, by the way.

Sumo Wrestler

So your sumo-wrestler is sleeping peacefully on a chair, when this monster dude sits down, and when he stands up your sumo-wrestler has disappeared! Oh shit, now you have to look up this huge fat greasy lard-ass to get your sumo-wrestler back, hey – he’s leaving, HEY come back, my sumo-wrestler is stuck up your [...]

Suburban Trunk Monkey

A trunk monkey is a great optional extra for any urban driver, but if you’re going to spend the money on installation, oxygen redistribution and heating the trunk, then why not spend a little bit extra and get yourself the full schbang: A Trunk Buffalo…

Streaker

Continuing the sports/nudity theme on from yesterday, here is a very funny, ridiculously well-made ad for sportswear. Although football being a man’s sport, I can only imagine that if it really was practised in the raw, it would be played by women. Young ones. With big ti….

Stinky Feet

This ad is purportedly from Thailand, despite the thing it’s advertising sounding german, and neither of the characters looking remotely Asian. The [...]
