Falling Over

A great ad for, of all things, milk. Despite watching several I’m still not convinced milk helps you stand up better, but nor do I care one fucking button. It’s people falling over like spastics and it’s hilarious, especially the fat running idiot who just won’t pay attention to signs from God, even when they [...]

Bruce Lee Playing Ping Pong

Bringing people back from the dead to help you sell electronic consumer products may not be the new rock and roll, and some might say it’s pretty creepy, but bringing them back from the dead to play table tennis is just fucking cool. Frankly, I’d buy fresh dog shit if it was sold yo me [...]

Ass Paint

Arty farty ads suck cock. You know the type of shit I’m talking about: some wannabe artist starts directing shitty commercials because it’s the only way he can fund his appalling cocaine habit, then decides that the only way to salvage his concience is to inflict 30 atrocious seconds of art-wankery on an uncaring world. [...]

Creepy Skittles Ad

The advertising industry is often accused of lacking any balls at all, being safe, derivative and boring and creating unreasonable aspirations all just in order to manipulate a naive, unsuspecting public into buying crap they don’t really want and definately don’t need. And that’s probably all true. But every so ofgten an ad surfaces that [...]

Wanking Tarzan

OK, so this is a joke obviously. No one could ever be so fucking stupid as to try to sell a bare chested plastic doll that jerks itself off and makes orgasmic sounds, right?
What?
Wrong?
Someone has actually done that?
Who, for fucks sake?
Oh Disney, oh well, that’s fucking typical, why am I not surprised?

Alien Song

There’s nothing out there except more election shite, so it’s time to return to the classics. Arguably the first ever viral ad, this deserves a place in some museum. If you’ve seen it watch it again anyway and wonder where the almosrt 10 years since you last saw it have disappeared to. If you’ve never [...]

Best. Thing. Ever

Makes me proud to be a Londoner.

Car Ad

A crude but funny piss-take of a very American kind of ad where some guy shouts at you for a minute, repeating himself every 5 seconds and issuing orders that make you wonder who in command of their faculties would go anywhere near the car dealership being advertised to submit themselves to the same kind [...]

Diesel SFW XXX

The dirty secret that the government doesn’t want you to know is that 99% of porn sucks dick. Really. Everyone claims to love porn but they’re lying. It’s like a really ugly person you only fuck because you’re desperate and then hate afterwards. Or like a blow out at McDonalds that you crave desperately and [...]

Very High Quality Commercial

This is absolute genius. Anyone working in advertising take note: you can stick all that clever shit up your arse. Just get two babes in bikinis to sing a little song about your product and everybody on Earth will love you and rush out and buy your product. Now excuse me, I’ve got to rush [...]

Banned IKEA Commercial

Billed as a banned IKEA commercial, presumably to garner more views on YouTube, this turns out to be a fairly sympathetic documentary about the fun-loving ways of rural Swedish peasants. Very interesting and highly recommended.

Let’s fuck up the world!

The world is a precious place with limited resources which we should treat with respect so as to leave a legacy for the children etc etc. You know what? Fuck it. We as a race only have about another 7 years in which it will be possible to ride roughshod over pristine countryside in a [...]

Bud Lite Centerfold

A pretty funny ad, which for some reason is doing the rounds with no sound. The general idea is that due to clumsy handling of Bud Lite, a young man finds himself in a compromising situation of a vaguely sexual nature when his young lady returns to their abode with her mother. The intriguing question [...]

Nice Lines

The link between cars and sex is as old as, well, cars. Almost any facet of the mechanics or the act of driving a car can be rendered smutty. It’s not subtle humour, but it is funny, especially when there’s a militant feminist within earshot. For some reason they get upset at the car/woman comparisons.

Kugla

This ad would be far more appropriate for a hangover cure like Alka-Seltzer. Why can’t the after effects of alcohol feel more like the feeling you get after your 3rd glass of spirits? That feeling that nothing can possibly go wrong, that you won’t really wake up feeling like shit because tomorrow doesn’t actually exist. [...]

Blockbuster

A pretty funky ad from one of the most annoying retail outlets in the world. For some reason, your brain short-circuits the minute you walk through the doors. Going into a Blockbuster and wandering around, unable to make any decisions, becoming increasingly imbecilised and panic-stricken, is akin to traveling the seventh circle of hell. Doing [...]

Xelibri

A rather beautiful, hitherto unreleased ad with more than a hint of The Fifth Element about it. The message is presumably meant to be that beauty is only skin deep and that underneath we’re all the same. Or that the fashion/beauty industry is a big caked-on hoax. Or that the future is unknown. Or that [...]

XBox

This is an extremely cool ad which hasn’t yet been on TV. It’s for the Microsoft XBox, and given the general quality of Microsoft ads in the UK (poor to ab-so-fucking-lutely make you wish you’d never been born), it’s pretty much a masterpiece. Does that mean they think XBox users are all going to be [...]

World cup

Hey America - WAKE UP! You guys are doing well in the World Cup. You’ve beaten Portugal and drawn to South Korea and could well go through to the knock-out stages. And most of you don’t care, probably don’t even know what I’m talking about. This football the game that counts, not your parochial nonsense [...]

Women Drivers

A nicely made and pretty funny ad based on the truism that men think that women can’t drive but that actually women can drive better than men. The problem with this truism is that it is infacta lie-ism. It doesn’t matter how many motor insurance company surveys claim that women have less accident than men, [...]

Wolfman

Be warned - this file is a humungous 3.74Mg. However, it is worth a download if you like your ads weird and wonderful. This comes from a series of Playstation 2 ads, some of which were directed by David Lynch. This may be one of those - it’s certainly out there enough.
It’s not David Lynch [...]

widescreen

Can there be a more noble pursuit than watching sport on TV? It is what defines maleness in these emasculated times. Despite what women would try to have us believe, had the good lord wanted us to spend all our time shopping for shoes, beer, doritos and the human brain would not exist.

Whisky Haka

If ads are supposed to cause behavioral change, this one fails. It does not produce the desire to dance the Haka, nor does it stir a longing to show one’s cock to a Kiwi. And it in no way intensifies the already powerful and permanent urge to drink whisky. However, it is an entertaining piece [...]

War

A well funny clip showing the perils of playing computer games too avidly. Of course research has been published pointing out that over playing these games makes you aggressive, antisocial, shortens your concentration span, creates relationship problems, negatively impacts learning abilities and pauses the palms of your hands to grow hairy. So the message is [...]

Volkswagen Frog

Whether or not comparing your car to an insect is strictly a good idea in marketing terms, this is a pretty kick ass ad. And it’s particularly relevant today because the frogs are all on strike.

Vivazz ad

In this romantic love story, a beautiful young girl is so overcome by the attentions of her neighbour, who in turn cannot take his eyes off her, that she gives him a vase. How very sweet.
As a side issue, the woman in this ad may well have the most stunning legs on the planet. Christmas [...]

Vitana

Oh look a Mom with hidden talents. Lots of ads, movies, books etc tell us stories of people with hidden sides to them. On the surface they look like your average Mom/Dad/Accountant/Student/Uncle/Kid, but actually they are revealed to be a Spy/Jedi Knight/Superhero/Alien/Psychic. Yawn. The only thing anyone is ever really revealed to be is a [...]

Vaquinha

When you live in the city you know instinctively that city dwellers are superior in every way to country folk, but you forget exactly way. Sure, on the odd occasion you come into contact with them you remember that they are either clumsy and dim-witted or sly and grasping, but you never really know quite [...]

Underwater

The ad where the geek at the beach gets the better of three babes. Without wanting to give too much away for those who haven’t seen it, they get more than they bargained for when they flash their snatches at him. The interesting thing about ads like this is how transparent they are. The brief [...]

Underpants

This one’s for Arthur who wrote in begging for it. And it’s only for him, so if any other swine downloads it, they will banned for life from the internet. We have the technology and we know who you are. Only joking. Or am I?
A pretty funny ad which challenges established notions of marriage, and [...]
